Unleash — Free Plan for Startups

Deal Highlights

Unleash — Enterprise-Ready Open-Source Feature Flags

Unleash is an open-source feature flag platform built for teams that need enterprise capabilities without enterprise pricing. Gradual rollouts, A/B testing, user targeting, and change requests — with the ability to self-host on your own infrastructure.

Enterprise Features, Open-Source Pricing

Unleash was one of the first open-source feature flag tools. The project has matured into an enterprise-ready platform with audit logs, change requests, project-based access control, and SSO — features typically locked behind expensive commercial tools.

Activation Strategies

Beyond simple on/off toggles, Unleash supports activation strategies: gradual rollout by percentage, user IDs for beta testing, IP ranges for internal testing, and custom strategies for complex targeting logic.

Change Requests

For teams that need governance, change requests require approval before flag changes go live. This prevents accidental feature releases and creates an audit trail for compliance.

Unleash vs Flagsmith

Both are open-source feature flag platforms. Unleash has more mature enterprise features (change requests, audit logs). Flagsmith has better remote config and a simpler UI. Both are excellent LaunchDarkly alternatives.

3. Create feature flags with activation strategies
4. Roll out features safely with gradual percentages

Pricing
