Our take
Pick ConfigCat if app teams who will stay on Forever Free at $0 (5M downloads/month, 100 flags, 3 envs, 3 products, no card) while they open a first flag dashboard, then buy Pro at $110/month when they need 25M downloads and unlimited flags/environments. Pick Flipt if platform teams who will stay on Open Source at $0 (unlimited flags, Git sync, community support) while they ship a first New Flag form, then buy Flipt
