Split.io

Feature flags + experimentation, now part of Harness.

By Harness, Inc. (acquired Split February 2024) · Founded 2015 · Redwood City, CA · private

Split.io was a feature flag and experimentation platform founded in 2015, acquired by Harness in February 2024 for an undisclosed amount as part of Harness consolidating the developer-platform stack (CD/CI + flags + chaos + SRE). Strengths: mature server-side flagging, the strongest impact-measurement and experimentation engine of the category alongside Statsig (Split was experimentation-first historically), and now bundled into Harness Software Delivery Platform. Trade-offs: post-acquisition product direction has been mixed, roadmap has tilted toward Harness-bundled buyers, standalone customers report slower velocity than the pre-acquisition era, and pricing is now opaque and increasingly tied to Harness platform deals.

Visit Split.io Compare to Unleash
Best for

Organizations already standardizing on Harness Software Delivery Platform (CD/CI + flags + chaos engineering) wanting bundled flags as part of the broader platform contract.

Worst for

Standalone-flag buyers (LaunchDarkly, Statsig, ConfigCat better), open-source-leaning teams (Unleash or GrowthBook better), or anyone wanting transparent published pricing.
