# Unleash

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/feature-flags/unleash/

An open-source feature flag platform billed per seat, with monthly active users and service connections left unlimited on every plan.

## Who it suits

A small team serving a large audience, and wanting the option to run it yourself. Client-side MAU and service connections are unlimited on every plan, so neither traffic nor audience moves the price — only headcount does, at $75 a seat.

Consider something else if The team is bigger than the audience, or you want to try before paying. There is no free plan at all, only a 14-day trial, so three people start at $225 a month before a single flag is read. API traffic is still capped at 53 million requests, then $5 per million.

### Inference

- Users included: Unlimited client-side monthly active users on every plan, alongside unlimited service connections. The audience is free; the seats are not. ([source](https://www.getunleash.io/pricing), read 2026-09-16)
