Agency economics are different: you have N clients, each with their own environments, their own stakeholders who want dashboard access, and an eventual handoff. That pushes three things to the top - **unlimited seats**, **project/tenant isolation**, and **an exit path that doesn't strand the client**.\n\n**1. ConfigCat** - my default recommendation. Unlimited seats on *every* plan including the free tier, and unlimited MAUs/flag reads, so adding a client's whole team as viewers costs you nothing. Plans are scoped by \"Products,\" which maps cleanly to one-product-per-client (2 on free, 10 on Smart at $325/mo, unlimited on Enterprise). Flat predictable pricing is also much easier to mark up or pass through on an invoice than MAU-based billing that spikes when a client's campaign goes well.\n\n**2. Flagsmith (self-hosted)** - best when you want no per-project ceiling and a clean handoff. The self-hosted edition has no limit on projects or environments; you pay only for Postgres and container hosting.
