# Doppler

5 Hacker News commenters recommended Doppler and 5 criticized it, November 2025 to November 2026. It was recommended in 4 of 13 months.

**Verdict:** Hosted service for storing secrets and environment variables off the filesystem and sharing them across a team. Critics say it is priced for enterprise and holds credentials itself.
