Why This Pricing?
Section titled “Why This Pricing?”Most free tiers are either crippled, time-bombed, or honor system. Ours is different: feature-gated by operational maturity.
The features we gate are things you literally don’t need until you’re running a real operation:
| Feature | Why it’s paid |
|---|---|
| Audit logs | Compliance/security posture |
| Rotation | Ops maturity |
| Webhooks | Automation/CI integration |
| Multiple API keys | Multiple services/environments |
| 3+ environments | Real deployment pipeline |
A side project doesn’t need audit logs. By the time you do, $5/mo is nothing.

$5/user gets you all modules. No per-module pricing.
Why is the free tier so generous?
Section titled “Why is the free tier so generous?”Because we’re not trying to extract value from hobbyists. If you’re building something for yourself or your family, use it free forever. When you need audit logs for compliance or rotation for security, you’re running a real operation - that’s when you pay.
What’s the catch with 5 members free?
Section titled “What’s the catch with 5 members free?”No catch. You and a small team can use it. The moment you need operational features (audit logs, rotation, webhooks, multiple API keys), you’re running production infrastructure. That’s commercial.
Why no per-module pricing?
Section titled “Why no per-module pricing?”Simplicity. $5/user gets you everything. We don’t want you calculating which modules to skip.

Is there a free trial for Starter?
Section titled “Is there a free trial for Starter?”The free tier is the trial. Use it as long as you want. Upgrade when you need the features.
