Delinea Secret Server vs Keeper (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Delinea Secret Server if

• Fits if you run shared admin and service accounts for a company
• Makes sense if you need session recording and audit evidence

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want a password manager for yourself or your family
• Watch out: no prices are published, so you cannot budget without talking to sales
• Skip it if you need phone apps or a browser extension, as none are listed on the pages read
• Watch out: a 30-day trial is the only way to try it, and its card terms are not stated

Pick Keeper if

• Fits if five people in a household each want their own vault, plus a shared folder for the Wi-Fi
• Works for teams of 5 to 10 on Business Starter, at $2 a user a month billed yearly

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you never want to pay, as free means ten records on one phone with no syncing
• Pricey if you're one person, at $42.99 a year against Bitwarden's $19.80
• Not for you if you want to pay monthly, as the pricing pages only show yearly billing
• Tight if you expect dark web alerts or file storage included, as both cost extra outside Family's 10 GB
• Watch out: single sign-on and SCIM need Enterprise, the Windows app needs Windows 11, and reviewers had to ask support to cancel

Delinea Secret Server

• No prices are published; the product page only offers a quote request.
• It is built for privileged access management, not for personal logins or family use.

• Prices are quoted per month but billed annually; the pricing pages show no monthly billing option.

Delinea Secret Server

Encrypted vault

Privileged account credentials are kept in an encrypted vault with password controls, role-based access and approval workflows.

Account discovery

Finds and inventories privileged accounts across the environment so they can be brought under central management.

Password rotation

Built-in automation and templates handle password creation, rotation and expiry, including check-in and check-out of credentials.

Session monitoring

Privileged sessions are recorded and monitored, with audit trails and customizable reports for compliance evidence.

Resilient Secrets

A resiliency feature keeps credentials replicated and available when the main system is disrupted.

Keeper

Encrypted vault and autofill

Stores passwords, passkeys, payment cards and files, and KeeperFill enters logins and two-factor codes across apps and browsers. A generator creates passwords and passphrases.

Passkeys

Saves passkeys alongside passwords so they can be used from any device and operating system, and the browser extension manages them directly.

Sharing and One-Time Share

Share records and folders with set permissions, or send a time-limited One-Time Share link to someone who does not have a Keeper account.

Zero-knowledge encryption

Keeper says data is encrypted and decrypted on the user's device at the record level, so the company cannot access what is stored in a vault.

Paid add-ons

BreachWatch dark web monitoring, Secure File Storage and a Concierge support service are sold separately on top of the personal plans.

Admin console and provisioning

Business plans include an admin console, enforced policies, team management and a security audit. Enterprise adds SAML single sign-on, SCIM and Active Directory sync.
