Good to know: SecurynAI's free tier is a fully deterministic security plugin on its own — firewall, scanning, and hardening all work with no setup. Plain-English AI explanations require your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key (typically ~$0.10–$0.30/month); without one, you still get clear fallback explanations, just not full AI narratives.
