Doppler Pricing 2026: Free Plan, Team Seats, Add-ons

A 10-person team pays Doppler $210/mo in 2026 on the Team plan, $21 per user, or $56/mo on the Developer plan, which is free for the first 3 users and $8 for each one after. Add custom roles and user groups, the two Team add-ons most teams want, and the same 10 seats cost $390/mo. Enterprise is quote-only.

Doppler is a hosted secrets manager: one place for API keys, database URLs and environment config, synced to Vercel, AWS, Kubernetes or wherever the app runs. Its bill has one line, human seats. Nothing is metered: no fee per secret, per sync, per API call or per machine identity, so the question is never "how much traffic" but "how many people need a login, and which controls do they need".

Every price on this page was read on Doppler's pricing page on 26 October 2026. Whether the product is worth a seat against Infisical or a cloud-native vault is the Doppler review; this page is the bill, plan by plan and seat by seat.

Toolradar data: on Toolradar, the software directory we run, Doppler's entry paid plan ranks #118 of 187 for price among the security tools with a verified entry price and no stated unit, as of October 2026, where the median entry plan is $10/mo and 49% of the 728 security tools have a free plan. The record is Doppler on Toolradar and the category figures are on the security statistics page. Devshot data: this newsletter reaches 31,000+ developers as of November 8, 2026, with an open rate of 32%.

All prices are monthly, per human user, in US dollars. Doppler prints no annual price: its billing FAQ describes a monthly per-seat charge, prorated to the day you upgrade, and the only discount it names is 33% off Team for nonprofits, students and educators.

How does Doppler count a user?

A user is anyone with their own login in your workplace, and every user in the workplace is billed at the same plan rate. That sentence decides most of the bill. Service accounts, service tokens and machine identities are free on any plan that supports them, so a CI pipeline, a Kubernetes operator or an AI coding agent pulling secrets never adds a seat. A contractor who needs to read production config does.

The workplace is the billing unit. A company with two workplaces pays for seats in each, and someone who belongs to both is two seats. Keeping one workplace with projects for each product is cheaper than a workplace per product, and the Developer plan's 10-project cap is the reason small teams split workplaces before they mean to.

Billing is prorated. Moving from Developer to Team mid-month charges only the days on Team, a seat added on the 20th is charged for the rest of that month, and downgrading or deleting the workplace stops the charge. There is no card at signup; the trial ends with a prompt for one, and the workplace can fall back to Developer at any point as long as it has fewer than 3 seats.

What does the Developer plan cover?

The free tier is three people, 10 projects, 4 environments and 10 configs per environment. The 5 config syncs are the limit most people hit first: a sync is one config pushed to one destination, so a single project with dev, staging and production each synced to Vercel uses three of the five, and a second project on Vercel eats the rest. Beyond 3 users the plan costs $8 per extra seat, up to 25 users, which puts a 25-person workplace at $176/mo, our arithmetic.

What it leaves out is control: Developer has no roles at all, so every user can read and write every secret in every project. There is no SSO, activity logs last 3 days, and there are no service accounts, although the service tokens that deploy targets use are included. Rotation, change requests and trusted IPs are Team features. For a solo builder or a three-person startup that trusts everyone with everything, the plan is a complete product. For a team with a production database it is a plan you leave the first time someone asks who changed a value last week.

Support on Developer is the community forum, and priority support starts on Team.

What does the Team seat add?

Team is where Doppler becomes a security product rather than a shared .env file. The seat buys role-based access control, SAML SSO, change requests, automatic secret rotation and 90 days of activity logs, plus service accounts with their own tokens API, config inheritance, trusted IPs, integration access scoping and Slack, Teams or Discord alerts. Limits open up too: 250 projects, 15 environments, 100 configs per environment, 100 syncs, 50 webhooks, 500 service tokens and up to 500 users.

The RBAC on Team is Doppler's built-in roles, not roles you define, which covers the usual split between who can read staging and who can write production. A permission profile of your own, applied to a group across a chosen set of projects, is a custom role, and custom roles are an add-on.

Seat-price moves like Doppler's 2024 increase reach Devshot readers in the weekday brief before the invoice does; the signup sits at the end of this page.

The three add-ons, and what they do to a seat

Doppler sells three Enterprise features to Team workplaces at $9 per seat per month each, and the price applies to every seat in the workplace, not only to the people who use the feature.

Add-on	What it unlocks	Seat price with it
Custom roles	Fine-grained workplace and project permission profiles, applied to users and groups	$30/mo
User groups	Assign users to groups with their own access levels per project	$30/mo
Integration syncs	Raises the sync limit from 100 to 500	$30/mo
Custom roles + user groups	The pair most teams buy together	$39/mo
All three	Roles, groups and 500 syncs	$48/mo

Custom roles and user groups are the pair to price, because one is weak without the other: a custom role you have to assign person by person is a spreadsheet, and groups without custom roles can only hold the built-in tiers. Together they take a Team seat from its base price to $39, an 86% increase, our arithmetic. The syncs add-on is only relevant to workplaces that sync more than 100 configs, which at 15 environments per project means seven or more fully synced projects.

The alternative to the add-ons is Enterprise, which includes custom roles, user groups and unlimited syncs, plus SCIM, change request policies, dynamic secrets, enterprise key management, log forwarding, custom log retention, a 99.95% SLO and the on-prem option. Doppler publishes no Enterprise price. The pricing page's own framing is that add-ons exist for teams "rapidly scaling but not ready to make the leap to enterprise", so treat $39 a seat as the ceiling before a sales call.

What do 5, 10 and 25 developers pay?

All figures are our arithmetic on the per-seat prices above, monthly billing, one workplace.

Seats	Developer	Team	Team + custom roles + user groups	Team + all three add-ons
5	$16/mo ($192 a year)	$105/mo ($1,260 a year)	$195/mo ($2,340 a year)	$240/mo ($2,880 a year)
10	$56/mo ($672 a year)	$210/mo ($2,520 a year)	$390/mo ($4,680 a year)	$480/mo ($5,760 a year)
25	$176/mo ($2,112 a year)	$525/mo ($6,300 a year)	$975/mo ($11,700 a year)	$1,200/mo ($14,400 a year)

Three things stand out. The Developer plan is cheap at any size, because the first three seats are free and the rest cost less than half a Team seat, so a 25-person workplace that can live without SSO and roles pays $176/mo. Moving from Developer to Team more than doubles the price of every seat past the free three, and adding the two access add-ons to Team is almost another 2x on top. The add-on price scales with headcount, not with usage: 25 people pay $450/mo for custom roles and user groups even if two platform engineers are the only ones who touch them.

A nonprofit, school or student workplace on Team pays about $14 per user after the 33% discount, which is requested through support after the workplace is created on Team.

Doppler vs Infisical vs Bitwarden vs AWS for a 10-person team

The rivals bill on different units, so a per-seat comparison only works once you fix the team and its machines. Take the same 10 developers, 10 machine identities (CI, two deploy targets, a few services) and 100 secrets.

Vendor	Unit	Price	10 developers, 10 machines, 100 secrets	What the price leaves out
Doppler Team	Per human user, monthly	Team seat rate	$210/mo	Custom roles and user groups (priced per seat)
Infisical Pro	Per identity, human or machine	$20/identity annual, $23 monthly	$400/mo annual, $460/mo monthly	Dynamic secrets and custom roles (Advanced, $40 annual)
Bitwarden Secrets Manager Teams	Per user, annual	$6/user	$60/mo	20 machine accounts included, $1 each beyond; SSO and self-hosting on Enterprise at $12
AWS Secrets Manager	Per secret plus API calls	$0.40 per secret, $0.05 per 10,000 calls	$40/mo plus calls (1 million calls is $5)	Every replica is billed as another secret; no environment model or sync to other clouds

Infisical's free plan allows 5 identities with unlimited projects, and its Pro plan bills machines as identities, so the 10 machines in this scenario double its bill against Doppler's, where they are free; on 10 humans alone Infisical Pro is $200/mo annual against Doppler's $210. Bitwarden is the cheapest seat by far, and its free tier is 2 users and 3 machine accounts, but its prices are annual-only and SSO and self-hosting sit on its $12 Enterprise tier. AWS is cheapest for an AWS-only shop that already treats secrets as infrastructure, and the most expensive to operate for a team that wants a UI, environments and a CLI that injects into local dev. The choice between hosted and self-hosted vaults for a startup is the best dev tools for startups ranking; the free tiers of the clouds around them are in cloud free tiers compared.

Has Doppler pricing changed?

Yes, once, in 2024. The archived copy of the pricing page from 20 May 2024 lists Developer at $7 per additional user and Team at $18 per user; the copy from 13 October 2024 shows $8 and $21, the prices still live today. That is a 17% increase on Team and 14% on Developer, our arithmetic, between May and October 2024. The three add-ons were $9 a seat in both copies, and the free allowance of 3 users did not move.

What Team includes has grown since: the 8 September 2025 copy adds change requests and integration access scoping to the Team card at the same $21. Doppler's current pricing page also leads with "AI agents and non-human identities ride free", a line that reads as a contrast with Infisical's per-identity model, and the page's FAQ states that there are no licensing, base or usage fees.

Where the bill surprises people

• Add-ons apply to every seat. Custom roles for 2 platform engineers on a 25-seat Team workplace cost $225/mo, because the add-on is priced per seat in the workplace.
• Developer caps at 25 users and 10 projects. A workplace that passes either limit moves to Team at the full seat rate, including the three seats that were free.
• Syncs are counted per config, not per project. Three environments synced to two destinations, say Vercel and a CI/CD tool, is six syncs, more than Developer's five.
• Logs on Developer last 3 days. An incident found on Friday that happened on Tuesday has no trail; Team keeps 90 days and only Enterprise keeps longer.
• Two workplaces, two bills. Seats are per workplace, and a person in both is billed twice.
• Enterprise has no public price, and the features that would make a mid-size team want it (SCIM, dynamic secrets, log forwarding) have no add-on route.

The things that do not surprise are worth saying too: no overage line, no per-secret charge, no fee for CI runners or agents, and a trial that does not take a card. For a pipeline-heavy team the comparison with GitHub Actions pricing is the one to make, because Doppler's cost does not move when minutes do.

Who should pay for which plan?

Solo developers and teams of three should stay on Developer for as long as the 10-project and 5-sync limits hold, and they hold for most side projects and early startups. The first paid seat on Developer is $8, cheaper than any rival's paid seat except Bitwarden's.

A team of 5 to 25 with a production database should budget Team at the full seat rate and decide early whether it needs custom roles. If the built-in project roles cover your access model, Team alone is competitive with Infisical on humans and far cheaper once machines are counted. If you need per-group permissions, price $39 a seat and compare that against Infisical Advanced at $40 per identity annual, where custom roles are included but every machine is billed.

A team past 25 that also needs SCIM or on-prem is an Enterprise conversation with no public number, so get the quote before the Team add-ons make the monthly bill look like one. Ways to self-host the surrounding stack while keeping a hosted secrets manager are in best self-hosting tools.

Methodology and sources

Plan prices, seat allowances, the limits table (users, projects, environments, configs, syncs, webhooks, tokens, log retention), the add-on prices and the billing rules (per human user, prorated, no card at signup, the 33% discount, machine identities free) were read on Doppler's pricing page and its FAQ on 26 October 2026. The 5, 10 and 25-seat tables, the annual totals (12 times the monthly figure, since Doppler prints no annual price), the add-on percentages and the 2024 increase percentages are our arithmetic on those prices.

Rival prices were read the same day on Infisical's pricing page, Bitwarden Secrets Manager and AWS Secrets Manager pricing; the 10-developer scenario is ours. Past prices come from the dated web.archive.org copies linked in the history section and are used only for the "before" comparison. The Toolradar figures are from its security category as of October 2026, on Doppler on Toolradar and Infisical on Toolradar.

FAQ

How much does Doppler cost per month in 2026?

Developer is free for 3 users and $8/mo for each additional user up to 25. Team is $21/mo per user with a 14-day trial, and each of the three add-ons (custom roles, user groups, 500 syncs) is priced per seat on top. Enterprise is custom-priced. A 10-person team pays $56 on Developer, $210 on Team and $390 on Team with custom roles and user groups.

Is Doppler free?

Yes, for workplaces of up to 3 users on the Developer plan, with 10 projects, 4 environments, 5 config syncs, service tokens, the CLI, the API and webhooks, and 3 days of activity logs. The plan has no roles, no SSO and no service accounts, so everyone in the workplace can read and change every secret. No card is needed to sign up.

Does Doppler charge for machine identities or service accounts?

No. Doppler bills per human user only; service accounts, service tokens and machine identities are included at no cost on the plans that support them (service accounts start on Team). That is the main pricing difference with Infisical, which bills every identity, human or machine, at $20 to $46 a month depending on plan and billing.

Can I pay Doppler annually?

Doppler prints only monthly per-seat prices, and its billing FAQ describes a monthly, prorated charge per seat; the pricing page offers no annual option or annual discount. The one discount it names is 33% off Team for nonprofits, students and educators, requested through support.

What do the Doppler add-ons cost?

$9 per seat per month each, charged on every seat in the workplace, for custom roles, user groups or raising the sync limit from 100 to 500. A Team seat goes from its base price to $30 with one add-on, $39 with custom roles and user groups, and $48 with all three. The add-ons are only available on Team; Enterprise includes all three.

Is Doppler cheaper than Infisical?

For humans, roughly even: Doppler Team at $21 per user against Infisical Pro at $20 per identity on annual billing or $23 monthly. Once machine identities are counted the gap opens, because Doppler does not bill them and Infisical does: 10 developers with 10 machines cost $210/mo on Doppler and $400/mo on Infisical Pro annual. On the free tiers, Infisical allows 5 identities with unlimited projects and Doppler 3 users with 10 projects.
