IBM Cloud Secrets Manager vs KeyEnv

IBM Cloud Secrets Manager has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

KeyEnv manages environment variables and secrets across development workflows. Its CLI lets teams run, inject, and manage secrets from the terminal, while separate development, staging, and production configurations allow environment-specific overrides. A scanner checks for hardcoded keys, tokens, and passwords across more than 149 patterns. KeyEnv can schedule PostgreSQL and MySQL credential rotation using a two-secret approach intended to avoid downtime. Integrations include SDKs, GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, serverless tools, and frameworks such as Next.js, Django, Laravel, Spring Boot, and Rails. The maker says secrets are encrypted on the device with AES-256-GCM and that it cannot access encryption keys or plaintext secrets; data in transit uses TLS 1.3, with Argon2id for key derivation. Access controls include roles, environment isolation, revocable scoped tokens, and audit logs. KeyEnv runs on Linux, macOS, web, API, and self-hosted deployments. The Free plan includes up to three projects and 100 secrets per environment. Team is $3.33/user/mo (annual) or $4.00 per user/month; new accounts get a 14-day Team-feature trial without a credit card.
