High Ratings & Recognition
What do you dislike about the product?
LaunchDarkly is known to be one of the priciest feature flag platforms.
Pricing scales quickly as you add environments, projects, or users, especially for large teams.
Many small or mid-sized teams say it’s hard to justify the cost if they only use basic flagging.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps our team safely manage feature releases and experiments without redeploying code. By using feature flags, we can gradually roll out new functionality, perform A/B testing, and quickly disable problematic features in production.
It’s been especially valuable for:
• Reducing deployment risk — we can test features with a small user group before full release.
• Enabling faster iterations — product and QA teams can toggle features instantly without developer intervention.
• Improving reliability — if an issue occurs, we can roll back a feature in seconds instead of redeploying.
• Supporting multiple environments — it simplifies managing flags across staging, pre-prod, and production.
Overall, LaunchDarkly has made our release process more controlled, data-driven, and safer, helping us deliver new features faster while minimizing user impact.

LaunchDarkly does exactly what it needs too without bloat
What do you like best about the product?
I like how much custom control I have over the rules. I like that I can roll out a feature to however many clients I choose, black or whitelist everyone and retain a history so that I can go back later and revert if need be. The rules are very explicit and we use it for every feature we release.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing seems to be a sticking point for some companies. Provisioning a seat for myself seems to be a consistently difficult endeavor and I imagine it's due to cost concerns
