## When it is useful

Configure a guarded rollout — progressive traffic stages, monitored metrics, regression thresholds, automatic pause/rollback.

## The Catch

Loud: Developer Free forever $0 no CC (unlimited seats/flags; 5 service connections + 1K client-side MAU/mo; Free ingestion stops at caps). Foundation PAYG after 14-day trial. Not OSS. Distinct from GrowthBook (OSS self-host) and PostHog experiments. Skills Apache-2.0; product proprietary SaaS. Requires LaunchDarkly MCP. Guarded rollout may climb into Foundation/Guardian paid path — do not invent it as Free.
