How ConfigCat helps startups build
without breaking production
ConfigCat is a production-ready feature flag service that gives startups full control over releases without slowing down development. Whether you're building a SaaS product or launching a new platform, feature flags help you separate deploy from releases and reduce production risk.
Release features safely
Gradually roll out new features using features flags instead of exposing changes to all users at once. Target internal users, beta customers or a small percentage of traffic to test safely in production before a full release.
Change features instantly
Turn features on or off in real time, even in production. Pause a rollout, fix an issue or launch to a new user segment without shipping new code.
Work across environments
Keep development, staging and production environments cleanly separated. Test changes safely and avoid risky “just flip it in prod” moments.
Start simple. Scale as you grow.
Begin with a single feature toggle and a clean setup. As your product grows, add targeting rules, environments and workflows without rebuilding your system or introducing technical debt.
Build fast.
Break less.
What you get with the
ConfigCat Startup Program
The ConfigCat Startup Program gives early-stage teams access to a production-ready feature flag platform at startup-friendly pricing without forcing them into enterprise commitments or unnecessary complexity. Feature flags give startups control. The Startup Program makes that control accessible from the beginning.

Who the
Startup Program
is built for
The Startup Program is designed for early-stage software companies with a live product and growing user base. It's meant for companies in growth mode: experimenting, releasing frequently and learning from real users.
To keep the program focused and fair, we apply a few eligibility criteria.
You qualify if:
✓
Your company was founded less than 5 years ago
✓
You've raised under $5M USD in total funding
✓
You have a live website or product
✓
You haven't had a paid ConfigCat subscription in the past 12 months
Not sure if you qualify?
Apply anyway, we review each application individually. Review takes up to one week.
Apply to the Startup Program
How we grow
together
The Startup Program is built as a partnership. In exchange for startup-friendly pricing, we ask participating teams to help us improve and grow through honest feedback and shared experience. The goal is learning from real teams building real products.
As part of the program, this includes:
✓
Sharing an honest public review on platforms like
G2
,
TrustRadius
or
Trustpilot
✓
Contributing a short case study about how you use ConfigCat, which we may publish on our website
✓
Providing occasional feedback through surveys or short conversations
To keep expectations clear on both sides, participating teams sign a Startup Program agreement that outlines these commitments in straightforward terms.
Completion of the agreed commitments is required to receive the second-year discount.
We coordinate timing together, there's no expectation to complete everything at once.
Trusted by teams
using feature flags in production

"ConfigCat has been instrumental in enabling us to effectively manage our features through the software delivery life cycle."
Andrew Sellick, CTO, Kantan.tech
"We love the simplicity of ConfigCat, and the flexibility of customer segmentation really fits our multi-tenant approach."

Frequently asked
questions
Everything you need to know before applying.
What's included in the ConfigCat Startup Program?
Accepted startups receive 50% off Pro or Smart annual plans in Year 1 and 25% off in Year 2. Participants may also receive early access to selected new features and product improvements.
The program provides access to the full ConfigCat platform, not a limited or stripped-down version.
Who is eligible for the Startup Program?
The program is intended for companies:
Founded within the last 5 years
With under $5M in total funding
Operating a live product or website
Without a paid ConfigCat subscription in the past 12 months
Do we need to be backed by a VC or accelerator to apply?
No. You don't need to be associated with a VC or accelerator. As long as you meet the eligibility criteria, you can apply.
How can we apply?
Click the Apply to the Startup Program button and complete the short application form. We typically review applications within one week and notify you via email.
What happens after we're accepted?
If approved, you'll receive confirmation along with next steps to activate your discounted plan. The Startup Program agreement will be shared for review and signature before benefits are applied.
Can we lose eligibility after being accepted?
Eligibility is evaluated at the time of application. If your company grows or raises additional funding after being accepted, your Startup Program benefits remain valid for the agreed period.
Is there an application deadline?
No. Applications are open on a rolling basis.
Is there a long-term commitment or contract?
Participants sign a Startup Program agreement outlining the collaboration and commitments described on this page. The agreement keeps expectations clear and transparent.
Is the second-year discount guaranteed?
The 25% discount in Year 2 is applied once the commitments outlined in the Startup Program agreement are completed. We coordinate timing together and keep expectations clear from the beginning.
What happens if we don't complete the agreed commitments?
The second-year discount is applied once the commitments outlined in the Startup Program agreement are completed. If commitments remain incomplete, the standard pricing will apply in Year 2.
What happens after the two-year discount period ends?
After the two-year Startup Program period, your subscription continues at standard pricing for your selected plan.
Does the Startup Program limit features?
No. Participants receive access to the same ConfigCat features available on their selected Pro or Smart plan. The Startup Program affects pricing, not functionality.
What happens if our usage exceeds our plan limits?
Config JSON download and network traffic limits are soft limits. If you temporarily exceed them, we'll continue service your requests, your traffic will not be interrupted.
If sustained usage consistently exceeds your plan, we’ll reach out to discuss the appropriate plan adjustment. Any changes during the Startup Program are coordinated with our team so the discount can be applied correctly.
Can we upgrade or change plans during the program?
Yes. If your needs change, you can upgrade or adjust your plan during the Startup Program period. Any plan changes need to be coordinated with our team so we can apply the Startup Program discount correctly.
What type of support do we receive in the Startup Program?
Startup Program participants receive the same level of support included in their selected plan. Our team is always available to help with technical or account-related questions.
Still have questions about the Startup Program?
We're happy to help.
