Side-by-Side Comparison
Objective metrics, no spin.
Any Next.js, React, or Svelte project. The fastest frontend deployment on the planet.
Backend-heavy applications or non-Node workloads — use Railway or AWS for that.
Teams shipping to production many times a day who need flagging as a deploy decoupling strategy and first-class experimentation.
Small teams with simple on/off toggles — open-source (Unleash, Flagsmith) or PostHog handle that at lower cost.
