Betterflag vs GrowthBook
Seats are the old meter.
GrowthBook Cloud Pro charges $40 per seat per month, so your bill grows every time you hire. Betterflag never counts seats: every tier has unlimited seats, flags, and environments, priced only on evaluations.

Why teams switch
Hiring should not raise your flag bill
Per-seat pricing taxes team growth. On Betterflag, seat number ten and seat number fifty cost the same: nothing. Agents do not buy seats either.
Five minutes, no infrastructure
Self-hosting GrowthBook is free software plus your time: a server, upgrades, monitoring, backups. Betterflag is a hosted edge service with a five-minute SDK setup.
Built for the agent workflow
Flags managed from Claude Code or Cursor through MCP, with scoped keys and an audit trail that shows which agent changed what. That workflow is the product, not a bolt-on.
The math, side by side
A 10-person product team that wants managed flags with team features.
GrowthBook Cloud Pro
- 10 seats x $40 = $400
$400/mo
Betterflag Launch
- Unlimited seats, 5M evaluations included
$24.99/mo
GrowthBook list prices as of July 2026. Self-hosted GrowthBook is free software; budget your own hosting and maintenance time instead.
The honest take
When GrowthBook is the better pick
If you want open source you can run yourself, or warehouse-native experimentation on top of your own data stack, GrowthBook is a strong, honest product and the self-hosted price is unbeatable.
When Betterflag is the better pick
If you are on Cloud Pro mainly for flags, you are paying a seat tax for an experimentation platform you may not use. Betterflag gives you hosted, edge-evaluated flags with unlimited seats for a fraction of the price.
Common questions
Is Betterflag open source or self-hostable?
No. Betterflag is a hosted service built at the edge network. If self-hosting is a hard requirement, GrowthBook, Flagsmith, or Unleash are better fits.
Does Betterflag really have unlimited seats?
Yes, on every tier including the $9.99 Starter. The only meter is flag evaluations.
Can I run A/B tests with Betterflag?
You can split traffic with percentage rollouts and targeting, but there is no stats engine. For rigorous experiments, pair Betterflag flags with your analytics tool or use a dedicated experimentation platform.
