Flagsmith Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Flagsmith?
Flagsmith is an open-source feature flag and remote config platform that empowers engineering teams to release features safely, without redeploying code. It's built for any company that wants an efficient and low-risk deployment workflow, but particularly for security-conscious organisations, with cloud, private cloud, and self-hosted deployment options available.
Q: What are feature flags?
Feature flags (also known as feature toggles) let you turn features on or off in a live application without deploying new code. Teams use them for gradual rollouts, A/B testing, kill switches, rollback functionality, and testing in production. With feature flags, you can separate the act of deploying code from releasing it to users.
Q: Is Flagsmith open source?
Yes, it is. Flagsmith's core platform is open source, so you can audit the code, contribute on GitHub, and avoid vendor lock-in. Flagsmith is also a founding member of OpenFeature, the open standard for feature flagging.
Q: How much does Flagsmith cost?
Flagsmith has a free plan with unlimited flags, unlimited environments, and up to 50,000 requests per month. Paid plans start at $45/month for up to 1,000,000 requests and three team members. Enterprise pricing, including private cloud and self-hosted deployments, is available on request.
Q: Can Flagsmith be self-hosted?
Yes, you can self-host Flagsmith on-premises or in your own cloud, or go with a managed private cloud deployment. Regulated industries like banking and healthcare get complete control over their data.
Q: How does Flagsmith compare to LaunchDarkly?
Unlike LaunchDarkly, Flagsmith offers an open-source core, published pricing, and self-hosted and private cloud deployment options. LaunchDarkly is SaaS-only with quote-based enterprise pricing.
Q: How does Flagsmith compare to Unleash and PostHog?
Flagsmith stores user identities and traits server-side and offers real-time flag updates that Unleash does not, creating a security risk. In PostHog, meanwhile, flags are just one feature in an analytics suite. Flagsmith is feature-flag-first, with fully supported enterprise self-hosting.
Q: Does Flagsmith have an API?
Yes. Flagsmith is API-first, and everything in the dashboard can be done programmatically. SDKs are available for 15+ languages including JavaScript, Python, Java, Go, and .NET.
Q: Does Flagsmith have an MCP?
Yes, Flagsmith has an MCP that enables you to connect your AI to your feature management platform and make changes with natural language, or set up automations to do it for you.
Q: Does Flagsmith have a CLI?
Yes, you can manage flags, segments, features, projects, and environments from your terminal thanks to the Flagsmith CLI, giving you another way to connect your AI agents to Flagsmith.

Flagsmith Product Features

AB Testing

Flagsmith is the bucketing engine for your experiments. Your analytics stack stays where it is. Create a multivariate flag, define variants with percentage weights, and Flagsmith splits traffic deterministically. Bucketing is calculated per identity, so a user gets the same variant on every evaluation until you change the weights. Use segments to restrict a test to the users you want to target: a plan tier, a region, or a beta cohort. And you can use the same mechanism to run beta programmes for early feedback. Flagsmith does not collect events or compute significance. Instead, send the variant name to the analytics platform you already use. Flagsmith has built in integrations for Amplitude, Mixpanel, Segment, Heap and Rudderstack, or push to your own pipeline over webhooks. One source of truth for metrics instead of two. Works the same on our cloud, your private cloud, or on-premise.

Feature Management

Wrap a feature in a flag, ship the code, and decide later who sees it. The same flag can hold a different state in each environment, so nothing has to be redeployed to change behaviour in production. Targeting capabilities include boolean flags, multivariate flags, remote config values, identities with traits, segments built from rules on those traits, and percentage rollouts for canary releases. For evaluation, Flagsmith supports server-side SDKs run in local evaluation mode, resolving flags in-process with no network call per check. The Edge API serves client and mobile SDKs from the nearest geographical region. Offline mode covers environments with no outbound connectivity. 15+ open source SDKs, including TypeScript, Python, Java, C#, Go, Ruby, PHP, Swift, Kotlin and Flutter. Governance features include audit logs, role-based access control, change requests with approvals, scheduled changes, SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning. Automation is possible using the REST API, Terra

    Pros: 1. It is straightforward to use and helps tremendously in releasing features.
    2. The UI and UX of the software is well-designed and implemented.
    3. The management of features is easy and does not consume a lot of time.
    4. It comes with an affordable price tag.

    "An incredible alternative to Launch Darkly"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2021-07-20

    Pros: * Cheap compared to other solutions
    * Very good support
    * Quick to fix bugs
    * Nice interfaces
    * Tons of options to do almost anything with feature flags and remote configurations

    Cons: * Not used by a majority of people yet so small community
    * The Open Source options is hard to install

    Overall: We have started using this software at the very beginning. I was looking for a cheaper alternative to Launch Darkly, and if possible an Open Source one. I find both with Flagsmith.

    I tried to install on our own server the back-end and front-end but without success. Then, I tried the hosted version (called Bullet Train at the time). It was so easy, so cheap and so awesome, we subscribe instantly.

    Since we were early adopters, there was still a couple of bugs but developers were easy to join and VERY quick to fix them.

    There was a ton of feature added every month and was always excited when I received an email with the new features. It's been at least 2 years since we use this product and we can't live without it.

    "Feature Flags as a Service "

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2021-07-13

    Pros: Easy to implement in code.
    Easy to use for product team.
    Inexpensive.
    Multiple projects and for each, multiple environments (e.g. Staging, Development, Production).
    End user segmentation into groups.
    Excellent support.

    Cons: I have yet to find something that needs to change in their solution. Note that some things are very hard to wrap in a feature toggle. For example DB schema changes which are not backwards compatible. This is not a problem specific to FlagSmith but rather a generic problem with these types of solutions.

    Overall: Setting up the solution was very easy. We wrap almost every feature in a feature toggle, which makes deployment less risky since we can turn a feature off if we notice some side effects. Further we can also do some tests *on production* by exposing a feature to only some specific users!
    Finally, their support is really amazing.

    "The perfect tool"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2021-07-12

    Pros: Easy to set up, easy to implement, easy to manage. I've used several feature flag tools both free and premium. Flagsmith is the easiest to use and the most robust, especially in their entry-level tiers. It was an easy decision!

    Cons: I think it would be nice if we could send JSON objects instead of a string. For us, we could benefit from sending a more complex object as the value property. That being said, we were able to overcome the issue by parsing the string within our app. Honestly, it's just a minor, minor inconvenience for an otherwise great platform.

    Overall: Overall, I'm kind of upset with myself for not finding Flagsmith earlier. As a startup that is just starting to get into feature flags, etc., It was incredibly easy and cost effective to go with Flagsmith. Definitely would recommend!

    "Best Open Source Feature Manager"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2021-07-07

    Pros: UI is clean and easy to use.
    Extensive SDKs with support for various languages.
    A/B Testing and throttling.
    REST API support.
    Webhooks support to trigger actions on toggle.

    Cons: Self Hosted setup is tricky to get right.
    No metrics graphs.
    Permissions are a bit clunky.

    Overall: Overall, our team is happy with Flagsmith. We have account managers managing features, while we have engineers creating/deprecating features. We even have designers create A/B testing experiments. It's a great piece of software and has great UX for anyone. Flagsmith is an inexpensive solution and even free if you self host it. Support and feedback has been great and the team is open to suggestions.
