In their own words
Bucketeer
Bucketeer is an open-source, self-hosted feature flag platform intended to reduce deployment lead time and release risk. Teams can switch features on or off without deploying code, and use dark launches and staged rollouts based on user attributes, devices, and segments. Controls also include progressive rollouts, reusable segments, date-based targeting, flag rules, and prerequisites between flags. For A/B testing, Bucketeer uses Bayesian probabilities and says this can provide results with smaller sample sizes. Automated operations can schedule flag changes, react to event rates, or use webhooks for CI/CD or APM integrations such as Datadog, New Relic, and Dynatrace. Integrations also include Slack notifications, Firebase Cloud Messaging updates, a RESTful HTTP API, and OpenFeature compatibility. Governance features include environment-level Viewer, Editor, and Owner roles, audit logging, separate client, server, and public API keys, and environment isolation. Client SDKs cover Android, iOS, Flutter, JavaScript, React, and React Native; server SDKs cover Go and Node.js. Deployment options include Docker Compose and Kubernetes with Helm. The HTTP API is labeled Alpha.
Rollgate
Rollgate is a feature-flag platform for engineering teams, offering targeting, scheduled changes, gradual rollouts, and rapid rollback. Its SDK evaluates flags locally in process in under a millisecond, without a network hop for each evaluation. Twelve SDKs cover React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, browser, Node.js, Go, Python, Java,.NET, React Native, and Flutter. The REST API manages flags, projects, and users. Previous configurations, including targeting rules and rollout percentages, can be restored in under a second. A/B testing is available on Pro and above, with experiment events sent to Segment, Mixpanel, PostHog, or a webhook. Plans are Free at free, Starter at €45 a month, Pro at €119 a month, and Growth at €349 a month. Rollgate says data stays in Germany, remains in the EU, and uses TLS 1.3, AES-256 at rest, scoped API keys, and audit logging. Self-hosting is not currently available.
