Show HN: A LaunchDarkly competitor, focused on pricing and product (tggl.io)
32 points by nick-keller 954 days ago
Hey HN,

I have been working on tggl.io as my main “side” project for over a year now. I was frustrated with existing feature flagging tools (you’ve probably heard of LaunchDarkly’s reputation) and saw an opportunity to innovate on two fronts:

(i) Pricing: it gets very expensive very fast. I’ve made all technical decisions with the goal of limiting stupid expenses and ended up being 2x to 3x cheaper on larger deals.

(ii) Product: existing solutions are just painful to use. Tggl focuses on product-tech collaboration and aims to offer a much better experience.

As the customer base is growing and deals are getting bigger, I am actively seeking as much feedback as possible on both the tool itself and the landing pages.

I added a 30-day trial with no credit card if you want to play with it. All SDKs, the core, and the proxy are open-source: https://github.com/Tggl

These are the most obvious fake comments I've ever seen, like are you serious?
Definitely astroturfed itself, these accounts are not even passing for real.
I obviously shared a link to this thread with friends asking for their support, I guess they just wanted to help
They're all 1 or less karma, barely used, some inactive for years (e.g. one didn't make a single comment since 2014 until this post), some have had no previous comments
I would assume those are people who I know directly yes, I'm not sure I understand what your point is.
Curious to see what this tool has to offer. Very attractive pricing also.
Tggl is priced just a tiny bit cheaper than the competition for small teams, and the gap gets really noticeable for medium to large teams.
Nick, so you don't open-source only UI?
Yes, everything is open-source except for the actual app that lets you manage flags
I have used LaunchDarkly in the past and yeah it's kind of a pain to use. I'm curious of what tggl offers that the others don't
Feature-wise you'll find everything you would expect from a feature flag tool. Where Tggl stands out is when you start to actually use it in a team, you get the job done much faster, and non-technical people actually enjoy using it.

The competition focuses on "a tool for devs" whereas Tggl's positioning is around product-tech collaboration.

And the name is great too!
So cool. I look into this
Curious, let's see
Thanks for sharing nick-keller! I will test this week using the 30-day trial.
Feel free to reach out for any feedback
