# Statsig Alternatives for Next.js A/B Testing

> Statsig is fast to set up and generous on the free tier, but it's SaaS-only and usage-based pricing can spike. Here's what to use instead for a Next.js landing page test.

The main Statsig alternatives for Next.js A/B testing are GrowthBook (open source, free self-hosted), PostHog (bundles experiments with full product analytics), Vercel Edge Config (zero flicker if you're on Vercel), and Landtest (no SDK, split runs through your deploy pipeline). Statsig itself is a strong hosted platform — 2M events/month free, unlimited feature flag checks, a genuinely fast setup — but it has no self-hosting option at all, and usage-based pricing on the Pro tier ($150/month for 5M events, then metered) can climb faster than expected once you're past the free tier. Amplitude has managed Statsig's brand and customers since mid-2026 following OpenAI's 2025 acquisition of the company, which is worth knowing if long-term vendor stability factors into your decision.

## When Statsig is still the right call

If you want a hosted platform today with minimal setup time and you're already running product experiments elsewhere (backend flags, in-app tests), extending that same Statsig instance to a landing page test is the path of least resistance. The free tier is genuinely generous for early-stage usage.

## GrowthBook — if self-hosting or warehouse-native analysis matters

GrowthBook is free to self-host under the MIT license with no artificial limits on events or seats, and it reads experiment results from your own data warehouse rather than a proprietary pipeline. The tradeoff versus Statsig is setup time — you're running the infrastructure instead of signing up for a SaaS dashboard.

## PostHog — if you want experiments plus full analytics in one bill

PostHog folds experiments into the same platform as session replay, funnels, and product analytics. Pricing is also usage-based and reviewers note [PostHog is consistently the more expensive option](https://www.statsig.com/comparison/top-alternatives-posthog-experimentation) at scale compared to flag-focused competitors, with feature flag checks billed per-request after the first million free — Statsig includes unlimited flag checks on its free tier by comparison. Pick PostHog specifically if the bundled analytics replace a tool you'd otherwise pay for separately.

## Vercel Edge Config — if you're Vercel-only and want the lowest latency

Edge Config plus Edge Middleware assigns variants before the response renders, avoiding client-side flicker entirely, with [sub-15ms P99 reads](https://vercel.com/blog/zero-cls-experiments-nextjs-edge-config) per Vercel's own numbers. The split logic lives in your `middleware.ts`, so see [A/B testing without middleware conflicts](/blog/ab-test-nextjs-landing-page-without-middleware-conflicts) if that file is already doing auth work.

## Landtest — if you don't want a metered event pipeline at all

Landtest's pricing isn't tied to event volume the way Statsig's, PostHog's, or most SaaS experimentation platforms are, because there's no client SDK sending events on every page load in the first place — the split happens at the deploy layer and the dashboard reads your own analytics ingest. For a team that's been surprised by a usage-based bill before, that's the practical difference: cost scales with tests you run, not with traffic volume on pages that aren't even under test.

## FAQ

**Is Statsig free?**
Yes, up to 2M events/month with unlimited feature flag checks and 50,000 session replays on the free tier. Pro starts at $150/month for 5M events, then metered per additional 1K.

**Can I self-host Statsig?**
No. Statsig is SaaS-only with no on-premise or self-hosted option, which is the main reason teams with data residency requirements look at GrowthBook instead.

**Is GrowthBook a good Statsig replacement?**
Yes if you're comfortable owning infrastructure and want to self-host for free. If you want a hosted experience without running your own servers, Statsig's setup speed is hard to match among self-hostable alternatives.
