The short answer

- Teams whose secrets access is dominated by CI/CD and service identities rather than human users — those ride free, so cost tracks headcount, not automation volume.
- Pick Infisical if

Consider something else if…
- Doppler: Dynamic (short-lived) secrets are a requirement now — that's an Enterprise-only feature here, where a competitor may offer it lower in the plan tier.
- Infisical: Dynamic secrets are needed immediately — that's an Advanced-tier feature here, two tiers above the entry paid plan.
