| Pricing | Foundation: pay-as-you-go from $10 per service connection/month plus $8.33 per 1K client-side MAU/month on annual billing ($10/1K listed in the comparison table); no platform or seat fees; 14-day trial · free tier: Developer: $0/month forever, no credit card; unlimited seats and flags, 100K experimentation MAU/month, 1K client-side MAU, 5 service connections, 10M logs and 10M traces, 5K session replays, 5K errors, 5,000 AI runs, 1 project / 3 environments, Discord community support | Not published · free tier: Not published |
| Pricing model | Usage-based (service connections, client-side MAU, AI runs) with free tier and custom Enterprise | Custom |
| Best for | Engineering-led product organisations already shipping behind feature flags that want server-side, mobile and AI-agent experimentation attached to the release mechanism, with results computed in their own warehouse and broad read access without seat fees. | Cannot be determined from verified evidence; on the unverified structural claims, large digital organisations with dedicated experimentation teams and budget for a quote-based enterprise contract. |
| Avoid if | You are a marketing or growth team wanting to build page tests without engineering, need SOC2/audit logs/SCIM on a self-serve budget, run serverless/K8s/Python/Ruby stacks and want a predictable published price, or require auto-rollback and a 99.99% SLA without funding Enterprise plus the Guardian add-on. | You need transparent published pricing, a predictable low-volume entry point, or self-serve evaluation before talking to sales. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
