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. - **Value for money: D.** Pro 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. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Free 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. - **Features: C.** Environments, syncs, rotation, access control and certificates. Dynamic secrets, custom roles and SOC 2 start at Advanced; SCIM, LDAP and approvals need Enterprise. - **Ease of use: C.** You set up projects, environments and syncs, with a command line in the mix. No store rating on record. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, Mac, Windows and Linux, with GitHub, Vercel, AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform and more. No phone apps are listed.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/password-managers ## Keep it, 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. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: It plugs into other products, GitHub, Vercel and AWS among them, and has an API. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on, audit logs and roles and permissions.
