It's two things: **does pricing punish you for having many small projects**, and **can you hand the account to the client at the end**. A per-seat, per-MAU tool that's fine for one product gets brutal when you've got 12 clients, 4 rotating devs, and 300 MAU each.\n\nTwo viable models: one agency account with a project per client, or a separate account per client billed to them. Pick the second whenever the client might leave or wants to own it - it makes handoff a password reset instead of a migration.\n\n## What I'd use, in order\n\n**1. [ConfigCat](https://configcat.com/pricing/) - the default for most agencies.** Unlimited team members on every plan including free, and pricing is based on config JSON downloads rather than seats or MAU. That combination is unusually well-suited to agency economics: your whole team plus the client's stakeholders can have logins at no extra cost. Watch the *product* limits, which is where agencies hit the wall - Free gives 2 products / 2 environments / 10 flags, Pro (~$110/mo) gives 3 products, and you need higher tiers for 10+.
