Eppo vs GrowthBook

Quote on request

From $40 per seat/month (cloud Pro, up to 30 users and 3 projects)

Quote-based, generally aimed at companies with a data team and a warehouse already in place.

Seat-based rather than usage-based, so cost tracks the number of people using the platform rather than your traffic — which is why it stays dramatically cheaper than the commercial platforms at scale, especially self-hosted.

Free tier available for small teams.

Self-hosted open source is free with unlimited users on 1 project; the cloud Starter tier is free for up to 3 users.

• Statistically rigorous — sequential testing, CUPED and diagnostics are core, not add-ons.
• Metrics defined once in the warehouse and reused across every experiment.
• dbt integration fits existing analytics engineering workflows.

• Warehouse-native by design — no duplicate event pipeline and no data leaving your control.
• Self-hosting removes per-user-volume pricing entirely.
• Both Bayesian and frequentist engines with sequential testing support.

• Requires a warehouse and a data team; not usable by a product manager alone.
• Feature-flagging capability is lighter than dedicated flag platforms.
• Now part of Datadog, which changes the strategic picture.

• Requires a working data warehouse and someone who can define metrics in SQL.
• Self-hosting is operational work you own.
• Less polished governance and approval tooling than LaunchDarkly.

Data-mature organisations where experiment results must withstand scrutiny.

Data-mature teams that already have a warehouse and want to avoid volume-based pricing.
