Flipt

Why choose Flipt over LaunchDarkly or other vendors?

Three reasons: ownership, cost, and workflow. Users consistently tell us Flipt is the easiest feature flag platform to get up and running, with fair and simple pricing that doesn't punish team growth, and both intuitive UI and Git-native workflows. Make changes in a UI that developers actually enjoy, while every change becomes a reviewable Git commit. No more context switching between tools or explaining to executives why your feature flag bill is bigger than your AWS spend.

How hard is it to migrate from our current feature flag service?

Most teams migrate core flags in a day. Flipt supports OpenFeature standard and provides migration tools. Start with new flags in Flipt using the UI, then gradually move existing ones. The Git-native approach means you can export configurations and version them properly for the first time and finally see a complete history of who changed what, when.

Will self-hosting slow down our flag evaluations?

The opposite. You'll see faster response times. Flipt evaluates flags in milliseconds with local caching, while SaaS providers add network latency to every evaluation. Plus, you control the deployment location, so you can optimize for your users' geography.

How do Git-native workflows actually work day-to-day?

Use the UI you want, get the Git history you need. Make changes through Flipt's intuitive interface and every toggle, rule update, or new flag automatically becomes a Git commit. With Pro, you can create pull requests directly from the UI for team review. You can still edit YAML files directly when needed: it's fully bidirectional. Your team gets familiar Git workflows without losing UI convenience.

Is this actually secure enough for enterprise use?

More secure than SaaS alternatives. Your flag data never leaves your infrastructure, and Flipt Pro includes integrated secrets management, advanced RBAC, and comprehensive audit logging. Git-native workflows mean every change is tracked and reviewable. Many enterprises prefer this over sending sensitive feature flag data to third-party services.

What's our backup plan if the Flipt server goes down?

Flipt clients cache flag states locally and fail gracefully with stale data. You can also configure fallback values for critical flags. Unlike SaaS providers where you're dependent on their uptime, you control the infrastructure and recovery process.
