Comparison
Zenmanage vs GrowthBook
GrowthBook is built experimentation-first, with feature flags as one part of a broader platform. Here's how it compares, sourced from each vendor's own pricing and docs pages.
Both platforms support percentage rollouts and reusable targeting rules. The difference is scope: GrowthBook is an open-core experimentation platform that also does feature flags, while Zenmanage is a hosted feature-flag and release-management platform without a built-in stats engine.
Choose Zenmanage if
- You want feature-flag release management as the core product, not one module of an experimentation platform.
- A lean five-SDK surface and flat plan pricing fit your stack better than a seat-based Pro tier.
- A hosted MCP server included on every paid plan matters to your workflow.
Choose GrowthBook if
- Built-in experimentation — multi-armed bandits and Safe Rollouts with Auto Rollback — is a requirement.
- Self-hosting an open-core (MIT-licensed) platform for free is important to your team.
- You want a single platform for both feature flags and statistical experiment analysis.
Feature-by-feature comparison
| Zenmanage | GrowthBook | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Free (unlimited projects, 500 MACs), Starter $29/mo, Team $99/mo, Custom — 30-day free trial of Team on every paid plan. | Free Starter (cloud, 3 users), Pro $40/seat/mo, Enterprise (custom) — plus free and paid Enterprise self-hosted tiers. |
| SDK coverage | Five official SDKs: JavaScript/TypeScript, PHP, Laravel, Python, and Go. | 20+ SDKs across client-side, server-side, and edge runtimes. |
| Targeting & segments | Rule-based targeting on context attributes plus reusable segments, evaluated server-side with local rule caching in the SDKs. | Forced-value, percentage-rollout, Safe Rollout, experiment, and multi-armed-bandit rules with deterministic sticky bucketing. |
| Progressive rollouts | Percentage-based progressive rollouts with scheduling and manual checkpoints. | Safe Rollouts run a ramp as a guarded A/B test, with an Auto Rollback toggle that disables the rule on metric regression. |
| Audit log & RBAC | Audit trail and role-based permissions on paid plans. | Audit logs on every plan; log export, Teams, and approval workflows are Enterprise-only. |
| OpenFeature support | No official provider yet — use a thin adapter around the Zenmanage SDK. | Official providers for Python, Go, .NET, and Java. |
| MCP server | Hosted MCP server at mcp.zenmanage.com on every paid plan — no install required. | Official, open-source MCP server — hosted or self-hosted — for creating flags, setting rules, and finding stale rollouts. |
| Self-hosting | Cloud-only. No self-hosted or open-source edition. | Yes — open-core (MIT license) with a documented Docker Compose self-hosted path; some enterprise directories carry a separate commercial license. |
