FlagBit vs ConfigCat

Feature flags with percentage rollouts from day one

What is ConfigCat?

ConfigCat is a feature flag and configuration management service known for its simplicity and config-file approach. It offers a generous free tier for small projects, but percentage rollouts and advanced targeting rules are limited or unavailable on lower tiers. Pricing is based on config count, environment count, and monthly API calls.

ConfigCat strengths

  • ✓ Generous free tier (10 configs, unlimited users)
  • ✓ Simple dashboard with a clean UI
  • ✓ Config-file based approach works offline via CDN
  • ✓ Good support for remote configuration values
  • ✓ GDPR-compliant with EU data hosting option

ConfigCat drawbacks

  • ✗ Free tier lacks percentage rollouts — must upgrade to use them
  • ✗ Advanced targeting rules locked behind higher tiers
  • ✗ Pricing scales with configs, environments, and API calls
  • ✗ SDK-first approach — no simple REST API for quick integration
  • ✗ Limited to 10 configs on free tier, 50 on $29/mo tier

When to Choose ConfigCat

ConfigCat is the right choice if you need a generous free tier with up to 5 million requests per month and your use case is primarily remote configuration (string/number values) rather than feature flags. It also works well if you need GDPR-compliant EU hosting and offline CDN-based evaluation.

When to Choose FlagBit

FlagBit is the right choice if you need percentage rollouts and user targeting on every plan, including the free tier. You want flat, predictable pricing without worrying about config counts or environment limits. A simple REST API beats SDK integration for your use case.
