    The Verdict

    We have verified AWS Secrets Manager as a Password Managers product, but not enough of its specification is confirmed yet for a scored verdict.

    Our Take

    We list AWS Secrets Manager in Password Managers and are still verifying its feature set, pricing and platform coverage before publishing a full analysis. AWS Secrets Manager is free for the first 1,000 secrets and 100 rotations per month. After that, you pay based on the number of secrets and rotations. There are no additional charges for API calls or storage.

    Best For

    • Small teams starting without a budget line
    • Workflows built around Automated secret rotation and Compliance with PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR

    Consider Alternatives If

    • Procurement processes that require published SOC 2 or ISO 27001 evidence
    • Stacks that depend on a documented public API
    • Teams that work primarily from a phone
