• Unlimited team members at every tier, so product and support can toggle flags too.
• Very simple to adopt — an afternoon, not a project.
• Broad SDK coverage including Dart and Elixir.

• 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.

• No experimentation or analytics to speak of.
• Limited targeting sophistication compared to LaunchDarkly.
• Small vendor.

• 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.

Teams that want simple, cheap flags accessible to the whole company.
