About
GitGuardian is a secrets security and non-human identity (NHI) governance platform. It scans internal repositories, CI/CD systems, container registries, collaboration tools, public GitHub activity, and developer endpoints for exposed credentials, then enriches detections with context such as ownership, scope, validity, and remediation status.
The free Starter plan includes internal secrets monitoring for up to 25 developers, unlimited real-time scanning, up to 500 historical scan detections, and 10,000 API calls per month. Paid plans expand coverage to public secrets monitoring, NHI governance, endpoint protection, larger repository scanning limits, SSO, SCIM, self-hosted deployment, and additional integrations.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is perpetual and does not require a credit card, but it is capped at 25 developers, 500 historical detections, and 10,000 API calls per month. Compared with the cheapest paid option, it looks like a solid starter tier worth about $3/month: useful for small teams, but clearly below the paid plans because the broader team limits, extra integrations, and advanced capabilities sit behind contact-sales pricing.

- Internal secrets monitoring for repositories hosted under your GitHub Organization.
- Up to 25 developers.
