Changes to Dotenv.org Pricing
Starting June 1st, we’re making changes to Dotenv.org’s pricing. These updates reflect the real cost of maintaining a reliable, secure, and developer-friendly platform — and will help us continue supporting the ecosystem long-term.
📦 Solo Plan: $5/month
The free plan is going away. If you’re on a free Dotenv.org account, you’ll need to either:
- Upgrade to the new Solo Plan for $5/month, or
- Migrate to Dotenvx — a free and open-source alternative that supports encrypted .env files, git sync, and more.
👥 Team Plan: $8/seat/month
For organizations, the Team Plan is increasing from $4 to $8 per seat. This applies to all existing orgs starting August 1st. If your team relies on Dotenv.org, this helps us scale support, security, and reliability.
💡 Why the Change?
Dotenv.org has been free or inexpensive for years, but infrastructure and support costs have grown. This change allows us to:
- Keep Dotenv.org stable and secure
- Fund ongoing maintenance
- Support modern use cases with new tooling like Dotenvx
💬 Questions?
We know pricing changes are disruptive. We even considered open sourcing Dotenv.org, but felt it would split the community between two overlapping tools. Dotenvx is better positioned to serve developers long-term — it’s open-source, doesn’t require any backend infrastructure, and works anywhere.
If you have questions or need help transitioning to Dotenvx, reach out — we’re happy to help. Migrating is straightforward.
Thanks for using Dotenv all these years. We’re excited about what comes next.
