The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Crazy Egg the Starter plan at $29 a month covers 5,000 pageviews and 50 snapshots, which a modest site exhausts quickly; Split split is now a module of the Harness platform and split.io redirects to harness.io, so buying it means entering a Harness commercial relationship rather than a standalone flag vendor contract.
  • They diverge on capability: Crazy Egg covers Heatmaps, Split covers Feature flags with targeting.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Crazy Egg

  • The Starter plan at $29 a month covers 5,000 pageviews and 50 snapshots, which a modest site exhausts quickly
  • All plans are billed annually rather than monthly
  • There is no free tier, only a trial
  • Reaching 500,000 pageviews means the Pro plan at $249 a month

Split

  • Split is now a module of the Harness platform and split.io redirects to harness.io, so buying it means entering a Harness commercial relationship rather than a standalone flag vendor contract.
  • Harness no longer publishes per-module prices, so an organisation that wants only feature management cannot get a list price and must negotiate a module out of a platform bundle.
  • The measurement engine needs traffic volume to reach significance, so a product with modest usage gets flags with an experimentation layer it will rarely be able to conclude anything from.
  • Metric attribution depends on correctly instrumented events flowing into Split, which is an integration project in its own right; without it you have paid for an experimentation platform and are using it as a flag switch.
  • As part of a larger DevOps suite the roadmap now competes with CI, CD, security and cloud cost modules for attention, so feature management is no longer the company’s single focus the way it was as an independent product.

Split: What does it do that a plain flag service does not?

It attributes changes in your product metrics to specific flags with statistical significance testing and alerts on guardrail metrics.

Split: Do we need a lot of traffic?

Yes. Statistical tests need volume to conclude, so low-traffic products get limited value from the measurement layer.
