LaunchDarkly Pricing in 2026: The Real 30-Day Bill

LaunchDarkly's 2026 pricing no longer charges per seat. The paid Foundation plan meters service connections and client-side MAU, and two further lines beyond them: $10 per service connection per month after the first 5, which are included, plus $8.33 per 1,000 client-side monthly active users (MAU) on annual billing.

Three real 30-day bills inside.
