Enterprise · MSP / IT consultancies

Per-Space audit filtering. Same crypto as Team.

Team and Enterprise share the same vault crypto — per-Space customer-managed KMS keys via kms:CreateKey, Group-scoped credentials, and one-click cryptographic erasure on Space offboarding via kms:ScheduleKeyDeletion. Enterprise adds per-Space audit-log filtering and export, larger document and Space byte caps, unlimited version retention, custom annual contracts, and security review under NDA — the procurement and compliance surface enterprise buyers expect.

The cryptographic erasure mechanic is in Team. Enterprise wraps it in the auditing and contracts that an enterprise procurement review needs to sign off.

Free Forever Policy

Free features stay free. No bait-and-switch.

Free is a real evaluation tier — every connection type, every Free-tier network tool, the SQLite Data Inspector, and Magellan AI (with your own key) work on Free, no account required. We will not deprecate Free features to force upgrades. You can use ShellYard at no cost on the Free tier as long as the product exists.

We may add new capabilities to Pro / Team / Enterprise over time. We won't move existing Free features into a paid tier to nudge you up the ladder.

FAQ

What does ShellYard replace?
ShellYard unifies workflows that often live in separate tools: terminal clients, HTTP/API clients, database inspectors, network diagnostics, documentation/IPAM systems, credential vaults, and AI browser tabs. Specialist tools may still be better for deep niche workflows, but ShellYard keeps the day-to-day operations loop in one Space-scoped workspace.
Can I import from Postman?
Yes. ShellYard imports Postman v2.1 collections, plus OpenAPI 3.x specs, cURL commands, and HAR files. All four import paths are available on Pro and above.
Can I import from IT Glue or Hudu?
Yes. Team and Enterprise plans include IT Glue and Hudu importers for Documents and IPAM.
Why bring your own AI key?
Many engineering and compliance environments require AI requests to flow through accounts they control. ShellYard supports bring-your-own Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Ollama, LM Studio, OpenRouter) so teams can choose their provider and policy. We do not meter, mark up, or proxy AI usage.
What is a Space?
A Space is an isolation boundary for operational work. Spaces separate connections, credentials, documents, HTTP collections, database connections, audit logs, and Magellan context. They are designed for MSP client separation and are useful for any team that needs clean boundaries.
What about discounts?
Annual billing saves 17%. Enterprise volume discounts are available for larger annual contracts — email sales@shellyard.com with your scope.
Is there a free trial of Pro or Team?
14-day free trial on Pro, 30-day free trial on Team — full feature access on both. A credit card is required to start the trial; cancel before the trial ends and you are not charged.
What's the Team minimum?
3 seats. Enterprise has a custom minimum and is invoice-billed on annual commit.
Do I need an account or a credit card to start?
No. Free runs without an account — download the app and you are working in seconds. Every connection type, every Free-tier network tool, the SQLite Data Inspector, and Magellan AI (with your own key) all work without signing up. An account is only required to subscribe to Pro, Team, or Enterprise.
Can AI run commands automatically?
No. Magellan is human-approved. It can explain output, suggest next steps, and draft commands — but operators stay in control before anything runs.
How do I get help?
Free uses the community on r/shellyard. Pro and Team get business-hours email at support@shellyard.com. Enterprise customers get priority email support during their commit window.
