GrowthBook vs Kameleoon
Feature checklists rarely decide anything. What decides it is the pricing metric, who has to write the tests, and which limitation you can live with.
Entry price
From $40 per seat/month (cloud Pro, up to 30 users and 3 projects)
Free tierFrom $495 per month (PBX Starter: 10 experiments, 50k tested visitors)
Trial onlyWhat drives the bill
The metric that actually scales your invoice.
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.
Kameleoon now publishes an entry price. Above Starter it is priced by traffic and modules on a custom quote.
Free tier
Self-hosted open source is free with unlimited users on 1 project; the cloud Starter tier is free for up to 3 users.
30-day trial, no card, up to 3 experiments.

Strengths
- 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.
- Genuinely good hybrid model — the same experiment can run client- and server-side.
- Effective anti-flicker implementation.
- EU hosting with healthcare-grade compliance options.
Limitations
- 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.
- Smaller market presence outside Europe.
- Only the entry tier is priced publicly; everything above it is a sales conversation.
- Fewer third-party integrations than Optimizely.
Best for
Data-mature teams that already have a warehouse and want to avoid volume-based pricing.
