Twingate review and pricing

Modern remote access designed as a clean VPN replacement.

By Twingate Inc. · Founded 2019 · Redwood City, CA · private

Twingate is the modern remote-access / ZTNA platform purpose-built as a clean VPN replacement. Founded 2019, raised Series B $42M in 2022 led by Bessemer Venture Partners (BVP), now backed by BVP, 8VC, and WndrCo. Best fit for SMB-to-mid-market organizations (50-2,000 employees) that want VPN replacement without committing to a full SASE platform. The product is purpose-built around split-tunnel architecture with a centralized policy engine (Twingate Controller) and edge connectors deployed near each resource. Trade-offs: Twingate is pure ZTNA (no SASE breadth: no CASB, no DLP, no SWG); the enterprise tier sales motion is still maturing; integration ecosystem is narrower than Zscaler or Cloudflare; and FedRAMP authorization is absent which excludes federal buyers.

Vendor Trust is scored independently of product quality. A great product from an unfair vendor still earns a low trust score.
