Secrets manager billed per human seat, with AI agents and machine identities free on every plan.

## Who it suits

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.

Consider something else if 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.
