can't you just use an open source library for this? how many feature flags would you even need for this to be worth it?

Good question - teams should do what’s best for them based on their resources and scope of feature flagging needs. Though open source libraries exist, they're per language (Ruby, Python). We offer support for all major languages + iOS. As well, we have environment support and access control levels to use feature flags effectively throughout development.

It's feature flags + AB testing with a nice interface for non-programmers to twiddle with and analyze the results.

It's basically the same market as Optimizely.
