How Much Does Split.io (Harness Feature Management & Experimentation) Cost in 2026?

The Harness acquisition was strategically logical (DevOps suite consolidation) but terrible for Split.io's standalone positioning. Pre-acquisition Split.io published tiered pricing based on monthly tracked users (MTU) and was a serious LaunchDarkly competitor. Post-acquisition, Feature Management is just one module among many Harness offerings — and there's no standalone SKU anymore. For former Split.io customers on grandfathered contracts, the renewal conversation has been jarring: prices typically jump 30-60% as they're re-papered onto Harness Enterprise. For net-new customers: Harness FME only makes financial sense if you're also buying Harness CI/CD, IaC, or Security modules — the bundle discount is where the value shows up. If you only want feature flags, you're paying for a DevOps suite you won't use. The product itself remains solid — Split's data-driven experimentation and statistical rigor are genuinely strong. But the pricing opacity and bundle-only model means most mid-market evaluators should look at LaunchDarkly, ConfigCat, or Statsig first. Where it wins: best-in-class experimentation statistics and data quality, strong integration with Harness CI/CD if you use it. Where it loses: no standalone SKU, quote-only pricing kills comparison shopping, renewal surprises for legacy Split.io customers, overkill if you're not already on Harness.
