Statsig: what it is, how it works & who it's for

Experimentation, feature flags and product analytics platform for product teams

Updated · Pricing checked October 2026

Statsig describes itself as part of the Amplitude family.

What is Statsig?

Statsig is a product development platform that combines A/B testing, feature flags, product analytics, web analytics and session replay in one system. Engineers use it to release features behind flags, and product teams use it to measure how each change affects key metrics. Statsig now describes itself as part of the Amplitude family, and its homepage lists teams such as OpenAI, Microsoft and Atlassian as customers.

Statsig offers a wide set of SDKs, from JavaScript and React to Python, Go, Swift, Android and Unity. Larger customers can run it warehouse-native, so experiment analysis happens on data in their own warehouse. Pricing starts with a free Developer plan, then a Pro plan at a flat monthly fee with event overages, and a custom Enterprise tier. Each Pro subscription covers one project, and Enterprise supports multiple projects.

How does Statsig work?

  1. Install an SDK

    Add a client or server SDK, such as React, Node.js or Python, and start logging events.

  2. Create feature gates

    Put new features behind flags and target them by user attributes or percentages.

  3. Launch an experiment

    Set up an A/B test with primary and guardrail metrics, and Statsig assigns users to groups. Guardrail metrics warn you if a change hurts something important, such as latency or revenue.

  4. Read the results

    Statsig computes metric lifts automatically, so you can see the impact of each change.

  5. Ship and analyze

    Roll the winner out to everyone and keep tracking usage with product analytics and session replay.

Statsig vs LaunchDarkly: what's the difference?

Statsig centers on experimentation and bundles product analytics and session replay, with a flat Pro fee of $150 a month plus event overages. LaunchDarkly centers on feature management and release safety, with usage pricing by service connections and client-side MAU, and adds observability and AI agent controls.
