Open source, and committed to staying that way

GO Feature Flag is 100% open source under the MIT license - self-hosted, OpenFeature-native, and free forever. We do not sell it, so the project runs on sponsorships and the teams who choose paid support.

What our open-source commitment means for you

MIT-licensed, 100% open source

The whole project lives in the open under the permissive MIT license. Read it, fork it, run it, and build on it - no asterisks, no open-core bait and switch.

Self-hosted, no vendor lock-in

GO Feature Flag runs on the infrastructure you already have. No database to operate, no per-seat bill, and no vendor that can pull the rug out from under you.

Built on an open standard

Your app evaluates flags through the vendor-neutral OpenFeature API, not a proprietary client - so you stay portable across the whole ecosystem.

OpenFeature support
Our commitment

Everything, in the open, under MIT

GO Feature Flag has been open source from day one, and it is not a teaser for a paid edition. There is no “enterprise version” hiding the features you actually need behind a license key - the whole project is right there on GitHub under the MIT license.

Development happens in the open: issues, pull requests, and the roadmap are all public, and contributions are genuinely welcome - whether that is code, documentation, a bug report, or an idea.

MIT license

Permissive. Use it anywhere, even commercially.

100% open source

No open-core, no paywalled features.

A real community

Built with a community, not behind closed doors

The project is shaped by the people who use it. Anyone can ask questions on Slack, report a bug, or propose a feature - the direction of GO Feature Flag is a public conversation.

Already using it? Adding your organization to the adopters list is a quick, free way to support the project and help others trust it.

Help keep it going

We don’t sell GO Feature Flag

There is no paid SaaS and no proprietary edition - the project does not make money directly. It keeps moving thanks to people who choose to give back. If GO Feature Flag is useful to you or your team, here are two ways to help, both of them genuinely appreciated.

Sponsor on GitHub

Fund the work directly. Sponsorships pay for maintenance, new features, and keeping the project healthy and independent.

Become a sponsor

Add yourself to the adopters

No budget? No problem. Listing your company in the adopters file is free, takes a pull request, and helps the project grow.

Paid support, when community help isn't enough

Some teams want more than community support - a guaranteed response, a maintainer on call, or a hand getting to production. For them we offer a paid enterprise support plan, and choosing it is one of the ways you keep the open-source project funded.

You never have to pay to use GO Feature Flag. Support is there if and when you need it - everything else stays free and open.

Enterprise support includes

  • Premium support and an SLA on CVE fixes
  • A direct line to the maintainers - they can join your Slack or Teams
  • Help during your integration and a preview of the roadmap

Open source today, open source tomorrow

MIT-licensed, self-hosted, and OpenFeature-native. Use it for free, sponsor it to keep it going, or reach out if your team needs paid support.

Frequently asked questions

Is GO Feature Flag really free?
Yes. GO Feature Flag is 100% open source and free forever. You get access to every feature, run it in your own infrastructure, and create unlimited feature flags - at no cost. The only thing the free tier does not include is dedicated, paid support.
What license is GO Feature Flag under?
The MIT license - one of the most permissive open-source licenses. You are free to use, modify, and distribute it, including in commercial products, with no obligation to open source your own code.
How is the project funded?
GO Feature Flag does not make money directly - there is no paid SaaS, no proprietary edition, and no per-seat pricing. It is sustained by the community: people who sponsor the project on GitHub and organizations that pay for enterprise support to keep the maintainers working on it.
How can I support GO Feature Flag?
Two easy ways, both valued. You can sponsor the project on GitHub to directly fund the work, and you can add your company to the adopters list to show the project is trusted in production - a free way to give back. Starring the repo and contributing code or docs help too.
Do you offer paid or enterprise support?
Yes. If you need more than community support, we offer an enterprise plan with premium support, an SLA on CVE fixes, a direct line to the maintainers, help during integration, and a roadmap preview. See the pricing page for the full breakdown or contact us.
How do I contribute?
Contributions are very welcome - code, docs, bug reports, or ideas. Read the contributing guide to get started, and join the community on Slack.
