Twingate is a zero trust access service rather than a traditional tunnel to the whole network: admins publish individual resources, such as a database or an internal app, and decide who may reach each one. For an IT manager retiring an old VPN appliance, that limits the damage a stolen laptop can do. The Starter plan is free for up to 5 users and 50 resources and already includes peer-to-peer connections, split tunneling and conditional access. Teams at $5 per user per month, billed yearly, raises the cap to 100 users and adds SSO through Google Workspace, SaaS application gating and native device posture checks. Business at $10 adds Okta and Entra ID sign-in, user provisioning through your identity provider, endpoint integrations, service accounts and just-in-time access, for up to 500 users. Static IPs and DNS filtering are add-ons, so a team that needs a fixed egress IP should price those in before choosing.
