Introducing ConfigCat Playground:
Test Feature Flags Easily in a safe environment
Sept 26, 2024
We've just released the ConfigCat Playground, a simulator that provides a safe virtual environment where you can try out everything ConfigCat has to offer.
This new feature gives you virtual devices and a virtual app that can be connected to your ConfigCat feature flags. This lets you test feature flags and targeting rules without needing to connect any real applications.
Please do not use the Playground with feature flags already connected to live applications. We highly recommend using feature flags from non-production environments when experimenting in the Playground.
To get started, simply click on the "Test in Playground" option in the ... menu of any boolean feature flag inside your ConfigCat Dashboard.

Introducing Network Traffic limits for all plans
Aug 1, 2023
We are introducing Network Traffic limits for all plans. The usage is based on the Network Traffic your applications are making to the ConfigCat CDN.
Why are we introducing these limits?
Our cloud provider charges us for the Network Traffic we use to serve your feature flags. By introducing these limits, we can cover these costs and continue providing the service. Instead of raising prices for all users in general, we decided to specifically reflect the network-related operation costs in our current pricing plans.
What are the limits?
Free | Pro | Smart | Enterprise |
---|---|---|---|
20 GB / mo | 100 GB / mo | 1 TB / mo | 4 TB / mo |
What to expect?
94% of our users will not be affected by these limits. If you are in the 6% that exceeds the limit, we will reach out to you directly to assist in the next 3 months in finding the best solution for your specific use case. Rest assured that even if you exceed the limit, your feature flags will continue to work seamlessly.
If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to help!
