# Do free options of Zero trust software work well?

I’ve been looking into zero-trust software lately, especially free tools that could work for small or growing teams. I’m seeing a lot of conversations about whether free versions actually provide enough protection or if they’re more suited just for early testing.<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For those who’ve used free zero-trust platforms, how did they hold up once more people or apps were added? Did you stick with the free plan or eventually have to move to a paid version?</p>

&lt;p&gt;Free versions of zero trust software work well compared to the paid versions. The only difference is functionality. I would recommend checking out Palo Alto Networks IoT/OT Security or GoodAccess.&lt;/p&gt;
