KeyEnv vs Stashbase

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.

Stashbase manages application secrets across projects and environments, with scoped controls over how developers, services, and coding agents use credentials and other resources. Coding agents can run in native or Docker sandboxes with governed access to credentials, network, files, and MCP tools. The Agent Proxy keeps raw secret values outside the agent process, and policies can cover credentials, API requests, MCP tools, files, commands, and dependencies. Repository and secret scanning workflows help identify exposed or hard-coded secrets. Interfaces include a dashboard, CLI, SDKs, REST API, Agent Proxy, and MCP server. Documentation describes integrations for AWS Secrets Manager, Google Cloud Secret Manager, and Vercel. The security page states that Stashbase uses AES-256 multi-layer encryption and workspace isolation, and encrypts traffic in transit. It also supports secret rotation, CI/CD injection, and audit logs. Its local quickstart can run a file policy without an account, API key, or secrets; the desktop quickstart is for macOS or Linux. A free plan is listed, while paid pricing is noted from $25/user/mo.
