What you give up vs HashiCorp Vault
- Core is MIT but a number of features live under an enterprise (ee) license requiring a paid plan
- Less battle-tested than Vault for low-level cryptographic/dynamic-secret workloads
- Self-hosted instances do not include all features available in the paid cloud tier
- Smaller plugin/integration catalog than HashiCorp Vault
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Infisical on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (HashiCorp Vault: BSL relicensing and enterprise costs).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (MIT).
