Phase vs secr

Phase is an open-source platform for managing application secrets from development through production. It runs as a managed cloud service or on your infrastructure, including in air-gapped environments. Phase says end-to-end encryption is enabled by default, with servers storing ciphertext in that mode. Its CLI keeps secrets encrypted at rest locally and can inject them while offline; it also installs skills for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and VS Code Copilot to work with secrets using natural language. Teams can assign managed or custom roles by app and environment, set IP allow-lists, review records of access and changes, and use point-in-time rollback. Integrations include AWS, Azure, HashiCorp Vault, Docker, Kubernetes, Cloudflare, GitHub, GitLab, Vercel, and Railway. Phase lists SOC 2 Type 2 and penetration testing by Oneleet. The Free plan is limited to 5 users or service accounts, 3 apps, and 3 environments. Pro costs $10 per month, billed annually at $120 ($144 shown), with a 14-day trial.

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.
