Unleash offers no surprises on your invoice, which makes it easier to plan growth. For most users, Unleash is ¼ the cost of LaunchDarkly with more flexibility and more enterprise capabilities.

Run Unleash anywhere—in our managed SaaS or your cloud/data center—so you stay in control of security, compliance, and performance. LaunchDarkly locks you into their managed cloud, limiting flexibility.

With over 100,000+ active users, 12K+ GitHub stars, and hundreds of contributors, Unleash is the most trusted open-source feature flag platform. This provides full transparency into the Unleash source code, and features being developed. It also removes the vendor lock-in, because you can always switch to the Open-Source version.

Designed for large teams with complex needs, Unleash truly scales across the enterprise, no matter how complex the setup.

<p>Single-tenant SaaS instances</p>


Unleash’s SaaS offering is built on a single-tenant architecture, providing each customer with dedicated infrastructure, including their own database, for enhanced security and isolation.

<p>Advanced PII Protection</p>


Unleash’s unique architecture enables you to ensure that PII used for flag context evaluation never leaves your cloud or data center.

<p>Flag portability</p>


Unleash was architected to allow flags to be reusable across projects. Projects in LaunchDarly are almost like separate accounts limiting easy adoption organization-wide.

<p>Cross-team collaboration &amp; change management</p>


With Unleash, all projects are open by default, with access restrictions as needed. Developers can easily suggest changes to other projects similar  to the way PRs work in git. Unleash also enables organizations to standardize release plans, segments, and context fields across projects, making it more suitable for large organizations where multiple teams work on separate parts of a large system.

<p>Comprehensive change requests</p>


With Unleash, you can change multiple flag configurations in one atomic change.  

<p>Validate complex changes before pushing live</p>


Unleash Playground lets you test any changes, including change requests, before rollout.

<p>Targeting Extensibility</p>


If you can build it, you can target flags using it with Unleash custom strategies.

Unleash

LaunchDarkly

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No, Unleash charges primarily by user.  Additionally, 53 million monthly API requests are included with our pay-as-you-go Cloud hosted offering and even more with our annual plans.  If you need more than 53 million monthly API requests with our pay-as-you-go offering, you can purchase more at a bundled rate of $5/million requests.</span></p>


Does Unleash charge for MAUs or Service Connections?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">LaunchDarkly charges based on monthly active users and how many application instances you run.  The more users or replicas of your applications, the higher the price. Unleash has a simple pricing model based primarily on users with a generous traffic allowance at no extra cost.  </span><a href="https://www.getunleash.io/pricing"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Find out how much you can save over LaunchDarkly by speaking to sales.</span></a></p>


Why is LaunchDarkly so expensive?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Absolutely. Unleash was designed to run anywhere: our managed SaaS, private cloud, or on-premises.</span></p>


Can I run Unleash in my own cloud or on-prem?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We think that Unleash is simply the best platform for enterprise experimentation. The reason is that we are super flexible and can integrate with any analytics system to meet the diverse needs of different teams. What we have seen working with some of the largest companies in the world is that one size doesn&#8217;t fit all when it comes to analytics – some teams prefer Google Analytics, others rely on telemetry data streamed to Grafana, and some use data warehouses. Unleash empowers engineering and product teams to integrate with their favorite analytics provider, giving them the freedom to work how they want. Our SDKs makes it easy to send experimental impression data to any system, streamlining experimentation in addition to all the other feature management use cases we support.</span></p>


Does Unleash support A/B testing and experimentation?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unleash was architected from the ground up to protect your PII and we make it possible so that no user data ever leaves your premises. For the strictest data privacy use cases, Unleash gives you the flexibility to control where user data is processed. If you’re using server-side SDKs, user data never leaves your infrastructure. For client-side SDKs, you have options: you can self-host Unleash or just Unleash Edge to ensure all user data stays within your environment. For client-side SDKs when using the Unleash Cloud or Unleash Enterprise Edge, data is only retained in short-term cache and never stored long-term. This means you can design your feature flagging setup to align with your privacy and compliance needs while still benefiting from Unleash&#8217;s powerful capabilities.</span></p>

Mark Quigley

"We flipped the most important flag we could when we went from our in-house system to Unleash. Right away we found that  it was scalable, highly performant, resilient out of the box.
And Unleash ended up being 1/3 the cost of our homegrown feature flag solution, while also improving the reliability and scalability of our platform."

Norbert Borecki

"Unleash gave us the flexibility to manage feature rollouts across multiple services and environments, allowing us to scale without fear of major rollbacks."

Wael Mashal

"In our complex case and architecture, Unleash has proven actually to be the perfect fit for us. And when we decided to use Unleash, we made the right decision. It's provided us with the necessary tools, flexibility, and compatibility to support our pursuit of cloud-native excellence."

Truls Jørgensen

"Before 2016, NAV used to take pride in 4 huge, coordinated, massive releases per year. As of today, this number is over 1400 times per week, which translates roughly to once every other minute.”

Jason Crow

"What appealed to us about Unleash was the central control via the Admin Console, as well as the security posture of running the entire infrastructure under our own architecture and standards”

Vibhu Srivastava

"With Unleash, we could safely manage feature releases in our monolith, knowing that we could toggle features off instantly if something went wrong, minimizing downtime and risk."

Misha Karpenko

"We really like your design philosophy. It gives us peace of mind, because the end user data doesn’t leave our application context."


Henning Støverud

"By deploying more frequently, the size of each deployment has been drastically reduced and new functionality can be tested early and more gradually thanks to Unleash and feature toggles."
