LaunchDarkly vs. Statsig
LaunchDarkly helps software teams build successful products and AI apps — by shipping faster, learning faster, and gaining runtime control over features in production. Statsig lacks basic feature management controls to move quickly and safely leading to risky rollouts, redeploys, and guesswork, which make experiments harder to control.
Key differences
Built-in safeguards for controlled, auto-rollbacks
No circuit breakers or rollback triggers — manual changes required
Powers over 42+ trillion flags daily
Approximately 3% of LaunchDarkly volume
Run flags natively in your stack with 30+ supported SDKs
Rust-based proxy adds latency and limits extensibility — requires additional infra maintenance
Low-latency streaming updates — no polling delays
Delayed updates via polling
Run AI experiments, tune prompts, and ship updates safely, without redeploys
Limited targeting or governance for GenAI
