Twingate

What it is for

Twingate is a hosted zero-trust network desk: you open Network Overview, and Starter is Free for up to 5 users. Use it when the job is private resources you start at $0, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is the official Twingate Network Overview (Autoco, 185 devices / 1,452 resources / 12 remote networks / 145 users, 90-day connection history, Alex / Libby MacBook activity) from the docs still — not a pricing card. The counts themselves are ops of the network. Twingate bills per user (or a $15 Home tile), not a chat seat.

Key features

• Network Overview — the workspace dashboard on the cover (cover still; docs). One network. Cover device / resource / user counts and the 90-day chart are ops of this.
• Resources — a private hostname or CIDR you grant (docs). A destination, not a dashboard tile. Cover 1,452 resources and airflow in the activity list sit here.
• Remote Networks — a site (VPC / office / homelab) that holds connectors (docs). A site, not a resource. Cover 12 remote networks (10 online / 2 offline) sit here.
• Connectors — a daemon you run in a remote network so clients never open inbound ports (docs). A connector, not a resource. Cover activity “connected to airflow” goes through this.
• Devices / Policies — enrolled clients plus the access rules that bind users to resources (cover Devices / Policies nav). A device or a rule, not a connector. Cover 185 devices and 145 users sit here.

The client apps and split-tunnel checkboxes are install / options. Home / Teams / Business tiles are the meter. Admin / member role rows on the cover are ops of users.

Who it's for

Best fit: teams who will stay on Starter Free (5 users) while they open a first Network Overview, then buy Teams at $5 / user / month — or Home at $15 / month for a homelab that wants Business-class connectors without a per-user seat.

Limitations / costs

• Starter Free is 5 users. A sixth human is Teams at $5 / user / month (or Home $15 / month if you are a homelab).
• Home is $15 / month, not unlimited seats for a company. Teams / Business are the per-user commercial tiles.
• A ZTNA desk, not a secrets vault. For Infisical’s $0 / 5-identity secrets see Infisical. For NetBird’s mesh see NetBird.

Alternatives

• NetBird — WireGuard mesh when you want a self-host overlay, not Twingate’s $0 / $15 / $5-per-user tiles.
• Infisical — secrets + PAM when the “access” is a credential, not a private hostname.
• WorkOS — SSO/Directory Sync when you need identity for an app, not a zero-trust network.
