About
Virgil Security provides developer-facing cryptography toolkits and hosted security services for protecting data in transit and at rest. The product line includes E3Kit for end-to-end encrypted communication, PureKit for password and stored-data protection, and related tooling for IoT and secure communications.
The free offering covers up to 250 registered users with unlimited secure communication between users, unlimited sensitive data sharing and backup between devices, unlimited registered user devices with authentication, and Slack community support. The paid plans add SLA, separate environments, geo-balancing, 24/7 support, and enterprise controls such as on-premise hosting and country-specific data location.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable for small projects: it includes the core secure messaging and storage capabilities, but caps the account at 250 registered users and leaves out the paid support and enterprise controls. The cheapest paid plan is Pro at $99/month, so the free tier is worth about $99/month in practical value—roughly the same capability up to the user cap, but with less operational support and scale.
