That rules out most per-seat and per-MAU pricing. Here's who I'd actually name:\n\n**1. ConfigCat** - my default for agency work. Unlimited team members on every plan, flat usage-based pricing rather than per-seat or per-MAU, and projects are organized under \"products\" so each client gets its own clean space. Nobody has to argue about whether the client's junior dev is worth another $20/month. Hosted, private cloud, or on-prem. The free tier covers 2 products, which is enough to try it on a real engagement. ([configcat.com](https://configcat.com/blog/top-eight-launchdarkly-alternatives))\n\n**2. Flagsmith** - the pick when handoff is the whole point. Unlimited projects on the ~$40-45/month Start-Up plan, and because the core is open source you can self-host it on the client's infrastructure and walk away without leaving them on your vendor account. Broad SDK coverage (JS, React, Python, Go, Ruby, .NET, Swift, Kotlin, PHP). ([flagsmith.com](https:/", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
