They're: per-seat pricing is poison when contractors and client-side staff rotate through dashboards; you need many isolated projects/orgs, one per client; and whatever you pick, the client has to be able to own it after you walk away. Ranked with that in mind:\n\n**1. ConfigCat** - my default recommendation for agency work. Flat usage-based pricing with **unlimited team members on every plan, including the free one**, which is the whole ballgame when you're adding and removing people constantly. Free tier is 10 flags / 2 environments / 2 products; Pro from ~$110/mo gets 100 flags and 3 products. Multiple \"products\" maps cleanly to multiple clients. ([configcat.com/pricing](https://configcat.com/pricing/), [costbench](https://costbench.com/software/feature-flags/configcat))\n\n**2. Flagsmith** - the pick when handoff matters most. Open source, self-host for free with no artificial limits, so you can stand up an instance inside the client's infra, hand them the keys at the end of the engagement, and never be the reason they're locked into your vendor account.
