## The answer, as recorded

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

> ## My short list, in the order I'd actually consider them
> 
> **1. PostHog** - The one I'd default to for most startups. 1M flag requests/month free with no per-seat charge, and flags sit next to your analytics, session replay, and experiments. For an early team, not buying a separate tool for each of those is the real win. Usage pricing after the free tier is cheap ($0.0001/request in the first paid million, dropping fast). ([posthog.com/feature-flags/pricing](https://posthog.com/feature-flags/pricing))
> 
> **2. Statsig** - Pick this if experimentation is the point, not just safe rollouts. Flags are unlimited and free at all usage levels; you only pay on analytics events (free to 2M/month, then ~$150/mo). It has the most serious stats engine of anything in this price range - it's the tool for teams that will actually read the results.

> 
> **3. Unleash** - Best choice if you want to self-host and own the data. Open-source core is genuinely unlimited and free; managed Pro is roughly $75/seat/mo, which gets expensive as the team grows, so most startups stay on OSS. Mature
