In their own words
configure8
Configure8 is a developer portal for cataloging engineering systems and enabling standards-based self-service. Its catalog organizes applications, services, data pipelines, ML jobs, environments and cloud resources with related information. Engineers can use a no-code interface to run provisioning, maintenance and other day-two actions through existing automations and guardrails. Scorecards assess reliability, security, architecture, development maturity, DORA metrics and other standards using built-in or custom checks.
Listed integrations include GitHub, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, AWS Security Hub, Jira, PagerDuty, Datadog, Okta and Microsoft Entra ID. An API can ingest and organize data from other tools. Configure8 states that it holds SOC 2 certification and encrypts cloud customer data in transit with TLS 1.2+ and at rest with AES-256. The free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited catalog users and integrations, subject to data and feature limits. Paid plans start at $19 per user per month billed annually. Enterprise is listed at $22.89 a month, while the plan details also state $22.89 per month per user.
Cycloid
Cycloid is an internal developer portal and platform for infrastructure self-service, orchestration, and governance. Developers can request and deploy infrastructure through Blueprints and Forms, using standardized workflows involving Terraform, Ansible, Helm, and Argo CD. Governance features include policy checks, role-based access controls, approvals, and audit trails. Teams can connect tools such as Sentry, SonarQube, Notion, Git, and cloud providers through plugins, and coordinate CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or Cycloid's Native Runner. Cloud Cost Management lists AWS, GCP, and Azure, with other providers available for integration if needed. Deployment options include SaaS, dedicated SaaS, self-hosted, and hybrid; air-gapped operation is described for self-hosted deployments. Cycloid says its API is documented in Swagger, and its CLI documentation lists GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows. A free SaaS plan covers up to five users and one workspace. The listed Advanced plan is $45 a month billed annually; pricing notes give a starting point of $29/user/mo annually. Infra Import is beta and excluded from the standard support SLA.
