So:\n\n**1. ConfigCat** - my default recommendation for agencies. Pricing is based on config JSON downloads, *not* per seat, per MAU, or per service connection, and team size is unlimited on every plan including free. That means you can put every dev, PM, and the client's own stakeholders in the dashboard at no extra cost - which is exactly the agency shape. It's organized into \"products,\" so each client gets a clean boundary. Forever Free covers 10 flags / 2 environments / 2 products / 5M downloads, with Pro at $110/mo. ([pricing](https://configcat.com/pricing/), [why not per-seat](https://configcat.com/blog/2020/02/06/fair-pricing/))\n\n**2. Unleash** - best pick when the client will self-host or has data-residency/EU requirements. Open-source core, and the cloud Enterprise tier includes unlimited projects.
