@haoyangnz sorry I missed your follow-up! Sure, good questions: 1. Optimizely supports both pushing (via a webhook) and polling for flag changes. LD's SSE approach may be a few seconds faster to propagate the flag changes. LD has a few more features around managing feature flags, the tradeoff is that you're either paying a lot more or dealing with limited seats. 2. The pricing for experimentation is based on how much traffic you're using plus a fixed platform fee. I recommend contacting our sales team for a quote, or if you're not ready for that conversation you can try out Rollouts for free and see how that meets your needs.

Thanks for the question @haoyangnz. We offer similar functionality in terms of being able to feature flag in many languages and roll out gradually. The biggest difference is that Optimizely Rollouts is free and offers unlimited flags and seats, compared to LD's starting price of $300/mo for 5 users. The reason our product is free is that our main focus is on experimentation and measuring the impact of feature rollouts, and we have paid plans where you can upgrade for this. LD is more purely focused on selling feature flagging as a service.

@jcolman @optimizely @saulsutcher yea, there's a big difference in latency/performance. It also lets you change deeper functionality that's not just visual or layout stuff. For example, rolling out a new version of an algorithm or pricing change. This blog post has more info on the tradeoffs: https://blog.optimizely.com/2017/05/04/experiment-server-side/
