> # Feature flag platforms for startups
> 
> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest you evaluate them:
> 
> **1. PostHog** - My default suggestion for most early-stage startups. Feature flags are bundled with product analytics, session replay, and A/B testing, so you don't pay for or integrate a separate tool. Free tier is 1M flag requests/month with all features included. If you're pre-product-market-fit and want to ship fast and see what happened, this is the lowest-friction choice.
> 
> **2. Statsig** - The pick if experimentation is the point, not just on/off toggles. Strongest stats engine in the group, 1M events/month free, good SDKs with sub-50ms local evaluation, and a startup program. Used by Notion, Atlassian, OpenAI. Choose this over PostHog if you expect to run real A/B tests with proper sequential testing and guardrail metrics.
> 
> **3. ConfigCat** - The best "just give me flags, cheaply, forever" option. Free tier is unusually generous (1,000 flags, 10M requests/month), paid plans start around $25/month, and they run a startup discount program. No analytics, no experimentation - it does one thing well and the pricing won't bite you later.
> 
> **4. Unleash**
