Instead of Twingate
Twingate alternatives
Twingate gives organizations identity-based access to individual resources, with policies that can account for device security, location, and time or usage. Its outbound-only model uses no open inbound ports, and direct peer-to-peer tunnels connect users and resources without routing traffic through Twingate’s cloud. It supports deployment with Docker scripts, Terraform, and Helm Charts, and offers clients for desktop and mobile platforms.

A different access model, plan limit, or client requirement may point to another option. Twingate’s free Starter plan supports up to five users and 50 resources; paid Teams plans start at $5 per user monthly, with annual billing. Clients older than 12 months cannot connect. When switching, compare the alternatives’ entry prices and billing terms with their access controls, network design, deployment model, and supported platforms. Also consider whether their plan limits and support arrangements match the users and resources you need to connect.
