## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-12 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Searched; here's how I'd actually rank these for agency work. The agency-specific pain is that you run many small client codebases with rotating contractors, so per-seat and per-MAU pricing are what kill you - not features.
> 
> **1. ConfigCat** - my default recommendation for agencies. No per-seat fee, unlimited team members, and no MAU charge; billing is based on config-JSON download volume. That means you can add every contractor and the client's own devs without the bill moving, and a dozen small client apps cost almost nothing. Forever Free tier is real, Pro is ~$110/mo. Weakness: it's toggles + targeting, not a serious experimentation platform.
> 
> **2. Flagsmith** - best when a client wants the flags inside their own infra or has data-residency rules. BSD-3 licensed, and its organizations → projects → environments model maps cleanly onto "one org per client," which makes end-of-engagement handoff clean. Available as cloud or self-hosted, so you can start hosted and hand over a self-hosted instance later.
> 
> **3. Unleash** - the most mature OSS option (longest-running of the two, Apache-2.0, Node + Postgres) and the one I'd self-host if I were standardizing an internal agency platform
