GrowthBook Experiments review and pricing

Open-source warehouse-native experimentation with self-hosted option.

By GrowthBook · Founded 2020 · Remote / Wilmington, DE · private

GrowthBook launched 2020 (founder Jeremy Dorn) and is the open-source warehouse-native experimentation platform. The MIT-licensed core is self-hostable for free; GrowthBook Cloud offers managed hosting with paid tiers. Wins on open-source MIT license (self-hosting option), warehouse-native architecture, and engineer-friendly positioning. Loses on UX polish versus Eppo + Statsig, marketing-led experimentation features, and brand mindshare in enterprise procurement defaults. Note: GrowthBook also appears in our Feature Flag Software ranking under the growthbook product entry; this entry covers GrowthBook Experiments specifically.
