About ConfigCat
ConfigCat is a feature flag and configuration service from Hungary that focuses on simplicity and fair pricing. You create flags and settings in a web dashboard, target them by user attributes, percentages or segments, and read them through open-source SDKs for web, mobile, desktop and backend platforms. Because SDKs download a config file and evaluate flags locally, user data does not need to be sent to ConfigCat. Every plan includes unlimited team members, and the Forever Free plan has the same feature set as paid plans with lower limits on flags, environments and downloads. Paid Pro, Smart, Enterprise and Dedicated plans raise those limits, with prices shown in several currencies, and an on-premise option exists. It suits small and mid-sized teams who want flags without per-seat fees or complex setup. It does not do experiment analysis itself, so A/B testing relies on your analytics tool.
Best for: Small and mid-size teams wanting simple flags without per-seat pricing.
