LaunchDarkly Pricing in 2026: The Real 30-Day Bill
LaunchDarkly's 2026 pricing no longer charges per seat. The paid Foundation plan meters two lines: $10 per service connection per month plus $8.33 per 1,000 client-side monthly active users (MAU). The MAU meter bills your highest-volume context kind, so a 500,000-device app pays $4,165 a month on MAU alone even with far fewer logged-in users. A worked mid-size bill lands near $4,565 a month, about 91% driven by the MAU meter. Seats are free; the meter that hurts is client-side MAU.
