Optanik Keyring pricing

What a Keyring Keymaster license costs, what read-only users get for free, and how the owner's Keymaster seat works.

How much a Keyring license costs

A Keyring license is a Keymaster seat, and it costs $1.50 per user per month. A Keymaster can create folders and entries, edit and share secrets, and write from the web, the REST API, and MCP. Prices are in US dollars, billed monthly, before tax.

Read-only Keyring access is free

Everyone else can use the vault read-only for free, with no limit on how many people. Read-only people can see the entries they have rights to, copy values, and use MCP and REST in read-only mode. Only people who create or edit entries need a Keymaster license.

Endpoint entries are not billed

When Keyring is used with Optanik, each endpoint's logins, IP addresses, Optanik IP, and BitLocker key are synced into the vault automatically. These synced endpoint entries are not billed, and reading them is free.

The owner's Keymaster seat

Keyring runs on its own. Without Optanik, the account owner is a regular $1.50 Keymaster if they create or edit entries.

If the account also has at least one paid Optanik endpoint, the owner is a Keymaster for free through Account-Owner Unified Access. The owner's Keymaster seat is only free while there is at least one paid Optanik endpoint.

What a Keymaster license includes

A Keymaster can edit the endpoint entries Optanik created, create folders and every record type, store authenticator (2FA) codes, share folders and individual secrets, and write from the web, the browser extensions, REST, and MCP.

Buying and assigning Keymaster seats

Keymaster seats are prepaid. You buy a number of seats, then assign them to people under Billing & Users in Keyring, or in Optanik's Users page. Assigning a person uses one seat. If there are no free seats, assigning someone buys one more, charged for the rest of the billing period. Unused seats stay billed until you lower the quantity.

Removing a Keymaster

Revoking someone's Keymaster license makes them read-only and frees the seat. To pay for fewer seats, lower the seat quantity; the lower quantity takes effect at the next bill date. If the paid quantity ever drops below the number of assigned Keymasters, the most recently added Keymasters (never the owner first) go back to read-only.

Keyring price examples

  • 1 Keymaster, no Optanik endpoints: $1.50 a month.
  • 5 Keymasters including the owner, no Optanik endpoints: 5 × $1.50 = $7.50 a month.
  • 5 Keymasters including the owner, plus 1 paid Optanik endpoint: the owner is free, so 4 × $1.50 = $6, plus $2 for the endpoint = $8 a month.
  • 20 people who only view passwords and 2 Keymasters: 2 × $1.50 = $3 a month. Viewers are free.

How Keyring compares

Business password managers typically charge about $4 per user per month, for every user, including people who only view. Keyring is $1.50 only for Keymasters who edit, read-only users are free, and the owner's seat is free with one paid Optanik endpoint.
