KeyEnv vs secr

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.

secr manages secrets and non-human identities for development teams, with a cloud service and a CLI that injects secrets directly into a process instead of requiring them in.env files. Teams can separate development, staging, and production secrets, compare or promote environments, and apply role-based permissions by environment. A scanner detects 20+ credential patterns and can install a pre-commit hook to block leaks before they reach git. AI agents can use scoped credentials, secret allowlists, and conditional access policies. Integrations include development tools, approval channels, cloud platforms, and SDKs for Node.js, Python, and Go. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 3 projects, 100 secrets, 1 AI agent, and a 7-day audit log. Pro is $6 a month and Team is $14 a month, each with a 14-day trial. Enterprise pricing is custom. The security page calls its SOC 2 control mapping a self-assessment; formal Type II certification is on its roadmap.
