In brief · compiled from approvegate.io

What is it?
Approvegate is a GitHub Actions or GitLab CI step that checks production deployments against signed approval records. It verifies the approved commit, enforces release rules, and records deployment decisions.
Who is it for?
It is for teams that already have a release-approval process and want to enforce it in CI/CD pipelines.
How does it work?
Teams add Approvegate to an existing GitHub Actions or GitLab CI workflow, configure approval and freeze rules, then run it in shadow mode or enforcement mode. It checks the commit, required approvals, separation of duties, and freeze windows before deployment.
What does it cost?
There is a free plan for one protected service, three users, and 30 days of audit-log retention. Paid plans are Starter at $24/month, Team at $83/month, Business at $208/month, and Enterprise with custom pricing.

Approvegate helps teams enforce production release controls in GitHub Actions and GitLab CI. It verifies that the approved commit is the one being deployed, requires independent sign-off, applies deployment freeze windows, and records decisions. Teams can begin in shadow mode and export audit evidence when needed.
