feat vs LaunchDarkly.
LaunchDarkly is the platform feat is closest to. Flags, targeting rules, segments, percentage rollouts, and approvals all work the way a LaunchDarkly user expects. The difference is the bill and the gates: LaunchDarkly meters service connections and client MAU, and holds audit logs, approvals, and custom roles behind an Enterprise contract. On feat those are included at $49 a month.
Worked example: a team with 40 backend services and 100,000 client-side MAU pays LaunchDarkly Foundation $400 for connections plus $833 for MAU at their listed yearly-billing rates, $1,233 a month. The same workload fits feat's Growth tier at $49 a month, or $39 billed annually.

Where LaunchDarkly is ahead today.
It's a bigger product. LaunchDarkly ships an experimentation suite with a real stats engine, guarded releases with automatic rollback on its Guardian plan, around 30 SDKs including iOS and Android, and code references that find stale flags in your repositories. Its SCIM support and SOC 2 attestation matter if procurement runs your security review. If you need those things now, pick LaunchDarkly; we'd rather you choose it than be surprised by us. feat ships five SDKs today, experimentation is planned for Q3 2026, and our SOC 2 engagement hasn't started.
Switching from LaunchDarkly?
Migration credits cover your first three months on Starter or Growth, and we help with the import. Because the targeting model matches (rules, segments, percentage rollouts, individual targets), most flag configurations move over without re-thinking them.
