Flipt

Flipt is a feature-flag platform for teams that want release controls managed through Git and can operate the service themselves. Its free plan covers unlimited flags; choose another option if hosted service is essential, since Flipt Cloud was scheduled to shut down on August 29, 2025.

Overview

Flipt turns changes made in its interface into Git commits for team review. That ties flag edits to an established change-control process instead of leaving them solely in a flag console. The free tier includes Git-native workflows and Git sync, while provider integrations and UI-created pull requests require Pro.

Targeting rules, percentage rollouts, user segments and approval workflows support controlled releases. Flipt says streaming applies flag changes in milliseconds, which may suit teams that need rollout adjustments to propagate quickly. Audit logging is listed for Enterprise.

Key features

Git review and integrations

Open Source provides Git-native workflows and UI sync. Pro adds GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket and Azure DevOps integrations, UI-created pull requests and GPG-signed commits. Those additions make Pro the relevant tier for teams that want provider-connected review and signed changes; teams content with Git-native workflows can avoid the monthly fee.

Deployment and interfaces

Flipt v2 is described as a single binary with zero dependencies, a straightforward shape for teams planning to self-host. It supports REST and gRPC APIs, client-side SDKs and OpenFeature. Native SDKs cover Go, Python, JavaScript, C#, Swift, Kotlin and Dart, giving teams using those languages a direct integration path.

Pricing

Open Source — free. It includes unlimited feature flags, Git-native workflows, UI with Git sync, real-time updates, REST and gRPC APIs, and community support. This is the practical starting point for teams that can manage their own deployment and do not need Pro's provider integrations, pull requests from the UI, GPG-signed commits or integrated secrets management.

Flipt Pro — $200 a month. It includes Open Source features plus Git provider integration, UI-created pull requests, GPG-signed commits, integrated secrets management and a dedicated Slack channel. The price is a substantial commitment for teams that only need flags and Git sync, but fits organizations that specifically need those additions. A 14-day Pro trial requires no credit card.

Enterprise — custom pricing. It includes everything in Pro, advanced role-based access control, audit logging, dedicated support and custom integrations. It is aimed at organizations whose access controls, audit needs or integration requirements exceed the lower tiers.

Platforms

Flipt supports API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web and Windows. Its self-hosted single-binary description and broad SDK language coverage make it most compelling for teams prepared to run the service themselves; the announced Cloud shutdown rules out relying on Flipt Cloud as an ongoing deployment option.

Who it's for

Flipt is a strong fit for engineering teams that want feature-flag edits reviewed as Git changes, need unlimited flags without a subscription, and can self-host. It is less suitable for teams that require a continuing hosted Flipt service, or for those that need provider integrations and secrets management but cannot justify $200 a month.

Pros and cons

Pro: The free plan has unlimited feature flags and includes Git sync, real-time updates, and REST and gRPC APIs, so teams can use core release controls without a flag-count ceiling.

Pro: GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket and Azure DevOps integrations, UI-created pull requests and signed commits support a more complete review workflow on Pro.

Pro: Seven native SDK languages plus OpenFeature, REST and gRPC provide several integration routes.

Con: Provider-connected Git features and integrated secrets management sit behind a $200.00 USD monthly plan.

Con: Flipt Cloud's announced shutdown on August 29, 2025 makes the product a poor choice for buyers who need its hosted service.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, see Feature Flag Software.

Flagsmith is worth comparing for teams that want a freemium option with a free trial, broad platform coverage and core feature-flag functionality its maker says is open source.

Featureflow is a freemium alternative with a free tier capped at five seats, one project, two environments and one million SDK requests per month.

Featurevisor suits teams seeking a free, self-hosted option with no per-seat pricing and an MIT license.

GO Feature Flag is another free, self-hosted choice, with all features and unlimited flags on its open-source plan; community support is its support option.

ConfigCat is a freemium alternative whose Forever Free plan includes 10 flags, two environments and five million config JSON downloads per month.

FeatureHub is an alternative with a free plan and free trial.

LaunchDarkly Experimentation is a freemium option with a free trial and a Developer tier covering 100K experimentation MAU per month.

feat offers a free plan with 7,500 MAU, 100 server connections, two projects, unlimited environments and unlimited flags.

Verdict

Choose Flipt if your team wants unlimited flags on a free, self-hosted platform and values reviewing flag changes through Git. Its key advantage is pairing that workflow with broad interfaces and SDK coverage; its central drawback is the $200.00 USD monthly jump for Pro capabilities, compounded by the end of Flipt Cloud availability. Teams needing hosted service or a less costly route to provider integrations should look elsewhere.
