Crypteron's free allowance is an intro tier: new accounts get a larger allowance that steps down to a smaller permanent free tier after the intro period. The free plan includes fREE encryption and key management for 3 months, AES-128 encryption, and 1 security partition. FreeTier.co estimates the free tier at about $2.00/mo.
About
Crypteron is a developer security platform for backend C# and Java applications that adds application-layer encryption, tamper protection, key management, and audit trails. It integrates through SDKs, annotations, and a management dashboard or REST API, with support for SQL, NoSQL, objects, files, and streams.
The pricing page lists a Community edition with free encryption and key management for 3 months, limited to development use, AES-128 encryption, one security partition, one access control rule, and one app per plan. The same page also states that all plans can be tried free for 30 days, while Enterprise adds AES-256, phone and email support, 100 security partitions, 100 access control rules, multiple apps, key rotations, and FIPS-140-2 certification.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a capped development-only offer with a 30-day trial and no credit-card-free signup language, so it has real value but limited practical reach. Compared with the paid Enterprise plan, it gives a small slice of the core capability set - roughly one app, one security partition, one access rule, and AES-128 instead of AES-256 - so it’s worth about $2/month as a buyer-facing estimate.
