How we grade them
| 3.2GPA1PasswordVery good | 3.2GPARoboFormVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B$3.99 a month on yearly billing isn't much, and Families covers five people for $5.99. But Bitwarden Premium is $1.65 and its free plan may be all you need, so you're paying extra for polish. | B$29.88 a year undercuts LastPass and 1Password, and Business at $3.33 a person has single sign-on included. Bitwarden is still cheaper if it's just you. |
| Free plan and trial | CThere's no free plan. You do get 14 days on any plan with no card needed. But Bitwarden and Proton Pass are free for good, so in this category that's thin. | BUnlimited passwords, form filling and a built-in authenticator, free for good. But it's one device, with no syncing. Bitwarden syncs everywhere for nothing. |
| Features | AAutofill for logins, cards and two-factor codes, passkeys, Watchtower alerts for leaked passwords, sharing by a link that expires, and shared vaults. Developers get a command-line tool too. | ALogins, long forms, passkeys, one-time codes, sharing, emergency access and a local-only mode. It even logs you in to Windows programs. Hard to spot a gap. |
| Ease of use | B4.7 from about 42,000 App Store ratings, so most people get on with it. But reviewers who moved from version 7 to 8 found it harder, and some say autofill misses or it asks for the password too often. | B4.7 from about 48,800 App Store ratings, and people who've had it twenty years call it easy. It does have its own habits, like its own browser on the iPhone. |
| Platforms and integrations | AMac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android and Apple Watch, with extensions for Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox and Brave. Business plans plug into Okta, Entra ID, OneLogin and Duo. | BWindows, Mac, iPhone, Android, Apple Watch, the web, and Chrome, Edge and Firefox. Linux and Chrome OS only get the browser extension. |
| Best for | families and teams who share logins | people who fill in a lot of web forms |
