Best for developer teams replacing .env files
Infisical keeps secrets by environment and syncs them to cloud and CI. Pricing counts every person and every machine as an identity, so a team with pipelines pays fast, and the features teams ask about next sit on the dearer plans.
Who Infisical is for
- Fits if you are a developer team moving off shared .env files
- Makes sense if you sync secrets to CI and cloud services
Who Infisical is not for
- Pricey if you have many pipelines, since every machine identity is billed like a person
- Tight if you outgrow 5 identities, 3 environments or 10 syncs on the free plan
- Watch out: dynamic secrets and custom roles start at Advanced, $40 per identity
- Watch out: SCIM, LDAP, approvals and self-hosting sit under Enterprise, quoted by sales
- Skip it if you want phone apps, as none are listed
Why Infisical gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyPro is $20 per identity a month billed yearly, against $5 where the category's dearest tenth begins, and machines count as identities. The free plan is the cheap way in.
- CFree plan and trialFree covers 5 identities, 3 environments and 10 secret syncs, and there is a 14-day trial of Pro and Advanced. You will hit those caps with a small team.
- CFeaturesEnvironments, syncs, rotation, access control and certificates. Dynamic secrets, custom roles and SOC 2 start at Advanced; SCIM, LDAP and approvals need Enterprise.
- CEase of useYou set up projects, environments and syncs, with a command line in the mix. No store rating on record.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, Mac, Windows and Linux, with GitHub, Vercel, AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform and more. No phone apps are listed.

Keep Infisical, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Infisical you would be making a password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 41 of the 49 other password managers grade higher. It costs $240 a year. Infisical is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves.
- Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, GitHub, Vercel and AWS among them, and has an API.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on, audit logs and roles and permissions.
What this rests on. Infisical’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Infisical?
Infisical is a platform for managing application secrets, certificates and privileged access, built for developers and infrastructure teams. Secrets are organized by project and environment, synced to deployment tools, and covered by access controls and audit logs. The cloud plans are priced per human or machine identity.
Worth knowing
- Pricing counts every human and machine identity, so CI pipelines and services add to the bill.
- Free is limited to 5 identities, 3 environments and 10 secret syncs.
- Dynamic secrets, custom roles and SOC 2 Type II start at Advanced; SCIM, LDAP and approvals need Enterprise.
- Self-hosting is listed under Enterprise, with pricing quoted by sales.
Key features
- Secrets by environment
- Secrets live in projects with folders and environments; Free allows 3 environments, Pro 6 per project and Advanced 12.
- Secret syncs and integrations
- Pushes secrets to GitHub, Vercel, AWS and Kubernetes, with 100+ integrations listed; syncs are capped at 10, 25 or 50 by plan.
- Rotation and dynamic secrets
- Rotates credentials on a schedule from Pro, and issues short-lived on-demand secrets from Advanced.
- Access control and SSO
- Role-based permissions from Pro, SAML single sign-on from Pro, custom roles and SSO enforcement from Advanced.
- Certificates and privileged access
- Separate products cover private certificate authorities and session-recorded privileged access; each has its own plans on the pricing page.
- Secret sharing
- Share a secret by an expiring link limited by time or views instead of pasting it into chat or email.
