The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Delinea the Thycotic and Centrify lineages are integrated unevenly, so buying the full portfolio means running consoles and agents that do not share one administrative model as cleanly as the marketing suggests.; Municode custom pricing model requires contacting sales, no published pricing tiers
  • They diverge on capability: Delinea covers Secret Server, Municode covers Code Codification.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Delinea

  • The Thycotic and Centrify lineages are integrated unevenly, so buying the full portfolio means running consoles and agents that do not share one administrative model as cleanly as the marketing suggests.
  • Modules are licensed separately by different units, per privileged user for the vault and per endpoint for privilege management, which makes total cost hard to model and easy to underestimate at scale.
  • Delinea does not publish rates, so buyers benchmark against third party and public sector listings; expect list prices to be negotiable by a wide margin, which means the first quote is not the price.
  • Thoma Bravo ownership since 2021 has coincided with firmer renewal pricing, and buyers with a single-vendor PAM estate have little leverage once credentials are inside the vault.
  • Migrating out of a privileged access vault is a genuinely hard project because every automated process that fetches a secret has to be repointed, so the switching cost is real and the vendor knows it.

Municode

  • Custom pricing model requires contacting sales, no published pricing tiers
  • Full-service codification requires vendor management of code updates
  • Limited support for complex code structures without manual intervention

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Delinea: Is Delinea the same as Thycotic?

Delinea is the merged company formed from Thycotic and Centrify in 2021. Secret Server is the former Thycotic product; the server access products come from Centrify.

Municode: Does Municode host codes or is it just self-publishing software?

Municode offers two options: MunicodeNEXT for full-service professional codification with expert editors, or Municipal Code Online for self-publishing where government workers update codes themselves with cloud-based software.

Delinea: Is pricing published?

Not by Delinea. Public sector frameworks have listed Secret Server Cloud around 348 GBP per user per year, which is a reference point, not a quote.

Municode: Can I track changes to my municipal code?

Yes. Municode shows version history with visible new and modified indicators, allows comparing previous versions, and links ordinances to code sections with full legislative history through OrdLink and OrdBank tools.

Source
Delinea: Does one licence cover endpoints and servers?

No. Secret Server, Privilege Manager and Server PAM are separately licensed on different units. Scope all three if your requirement spans them.

Municode: What search capabilities does Municode provide?

Municode includes advanced keyword search with Boolean operators available to both residents and staff, plus access to MuniPro for searching across thousands of hosted municipal codes.
