• Statistics engine is genuinely strong — sequential testing and CUPED are not marketing veneer.
• Flags, experiments and analytics in one system removes a whole class of integration work.
• Warehouse-native mode satisfies data-governance requirements.

• Local evaluation means no user data leaves your infrastructure — a strong GDPR position.
• Mature, well-documented open-source core with no artificial crippling.
• Kubernetes and Terraform support for infrastructure-as-code workflows.

• Event-based pricing can escalate sharply on high-volume products.
• Broad surface area means a real learning curve.
• Now owned by OpenAI, which introduces strategic uncertainty for some buyers.

• Experimentation and analytics are thin; it is a flag system first.
• Self-hosting means you own uptime for something in your request path.
• Smaller ecosystem than LaunchDarkly.

Product teams that want experimentation and analytics to share one source of truth.

Privacy-sensitive or cost-sensitive teams that want flags without sending user data to a vendor.
