Feature flags on flat monthly plans, with unlimited seats and users, and SAML SSO and SCIM on every plan.
Feature flags on flat plans with unlimited seats and users, and SAML SSO and SCIM even on the free plan.
ConfigCat prices flags by plan, not by user: every plan has unlimited seats, MAU and flag reads, and the SDKs evaluate flags from a locally cached config file, so only downloads of that file count. 2FA, SAML SSO and SCIM are listed on every plan, including Forever Free, and the main infrastructure is in the EU. Teams that only need flags and remote config get identity-provider controls without an enterprise contract.

| Bottom line | From its public pages, ConfigCat is the most focused flag service here, with the most team controls on its free plan. Its score reflects no built-in experimentation and a shorter compliance list. | From its public pages, Statsig gives the most for nothing here: unlimited seats and flag checks, with experiments and analytics on the free plan. SSO and EU hosting need Enterprise, and the product now sits within Amplitude. | From its public pages, LaunchDarkly is the broadest platform here, with experiments on every plan and a long compliance list. Client-side users drive the bill, and SSO and audit logging are listed for Enterprise. | From its public pages, Flagsmith offers unlimited flags on every plan, an open-source core and SOC 2 Type II. Team size sets the price, and a few plan details differ between its pricing page and docs. |

Review from public pages
Written from ConfigCat's public pages (pricing, security or privacy, and docs) as read on Oct 15, 2026. We did not sign up, and no hands-on run is published yet.
We read ConfigCat's pricing page, its trust center, its FAQ and its docs on config JSON downloads, network traffic, data governance, SAML and OpenFeature on Oct 15, 2026; we did not sign up for this review. The pricing page has five plans with prices for annual or monthly billing and in four currencies, and says the Forever Free plan has the same feature set as the paid plans; what changes is the number of flags, environments, products, targeting rules and the download and traffic quotas.
The pricing model follows the architecture. SDKs download a config JSON file from ConfigCat's CDN, cache it and evaluate flags locally, so only downloads count, not users or flag checks. The docs work an example: a web app user active 5 hours a month with the default 60-second polling makes 300 downloads a month. If a plan's limit is reached, the docs say the application keeps running and ConfigCat will get in touch.
What stood out is how much identity control sits on the free plan: 2FA, SAML SSO and SCIM are listed across every plan.
The pricing table lists 2FA, SSO, SAML and SCIM on all plans, including Forever Free.
vs LaunchDarkly: LaunchDarkly and Statsig list SSO on Enterprise.
Seats, MAU, service connections and flag reads are unlimited on every plan; you pick a plan by flags and download volume.
The FAQ says the main infrastructure and database are in the EU, and the EU-only CDN option keeps config files in the EU.
Open-source SDKs, OpenFeature providers, a JSON export of each product and a Dedicated plan that can run on your own servers.
The pricing page lists no A/B test analysis; the docs describe sending flag evaluations to Amplitude, Mixpanel, Google Analytics or Segment.
Workaround: Percentage options and the analytics integrations let you analyse a rollout in a tool you already use.
Forever Free allows 10 flags, 2 environments and 5 million downloads a month.
The trust center lists ISO 27001:2022 and a DPA, but no SOC 2 report or HIPAA BAA.
Usage depends on users, session length and polling interval, so the right plan takes an estimate.
ConfigCat sells flat plans: Pro $110 a month billed annually ($120 monthly), Smart $325 ($360), Enterprise $900 ($1,000) and Dedicated $4,500 billed annually. Each plan includes a download and traffic quota (25 million and 100 GB on Pro), and Pro can add 25 million downloads and 100 GB for $95 a month. Seats and users are not charged.
For our scenario, ConfigCat's own docs example gives 300 downloads per user a month, so 50,000 users make 15 million, and a backend polling every minute in 2 environments adds about 86,400 (our arithmetic). That fits Pro at $110 a month; 30 flags also exceed Forever Free's limit of 10. Longer sessions or shorter polling raise the count.
The FAQ says you can export a product as a standard JSON file at any time, including flags, targeting rules, segments and tags. SDKs are open source on GitHub, OpenFeature providers are documented, and Enterprise and Dedicated customers can add a source-code escrow for an extra cost.
From its public pages, ConfigCat is the most focused flag service here, with the most team controls on its free plan. Its score reflects no built-in experimentation and a shorter compliance list.
