Which one is for you
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
Pick Passwork if
- Fits if you want a team vault with roles and audit logs
- Works for IT teams that need SSO and directory sync
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan, because only a one-month trial is offered
- Tight if you use a personal email, as the trial needs a business address
- Watch out: SSO, the CI/CD integration and the Python SDK need the Advanced plan
- Watch out: the self-hosted edition is licensed separately, with a yearly maintenance renewal
- Watch out: the cloud page does not say whether EUR 3 and EUR 4.5 are billed monthly or yearly

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$3.58 a month, billed yearly at $42.99, which is the upper half of this category's ordinary band, where the middle plan is $2.99 and Bitwarden Premium is $19.80 a year. Dark web alerts cost extra on top. The business plans start at $2 a user. | CStandard is EUR 3 per user a month and Advanced EUR 4.5, around the dearer end of password managers. The page does not say if billing is monthly or yearly. |
| Free plan and trial | DTen records on one phone, with no desktop app and no syncing. That isn't a password manager, it's a taster, so the real offer here is the 30-day trial. Bitwarden, Proton Pass, Apple and Google all give you one for good. | CA one-month free trial that needs a business email; the page does not mention a card. There is no free plan. |
| Features | BPasswords, passkeys, cards and files in one vault, two-factor codes filled in, One-Time Share for someone who isn't on Keeper, emergency access and a business admin console cover what the category expects. Nothing goes beyond the rivals, and BreachWatch is sold separately. | BShared vaults and roles, zero-knowledge encryption, directory and SSO, developer secrets, audit logs and compliance reports. |
| Ease of use | A4.9 from about 231,000 App Store ratings, the highest in this category. One reviewer came to it from a paper notebook of passwords. The one-star reviews are about billing and cancelling rather than learning it. | CNo store rating on record. Directory, SSO and roles take setup by an admin. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android and six browsers, with a command-line tool and business hooks into Entra ID, Okta, Duo, Slack and Jira. One catch: the Windows app needs Windows 11. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android and an extension, with Active Directory, LDAP, SAML, Docker, Kubernetes and an SDK. |
| Best for | a private vault each for a family of five | a team password manager you can self-host |

Key features
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

- 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.
Passwork
- Shared vaults and roles
- Share credentials through vaults with granular permissions, role-based access and a record of who did what.
- Zero-knowledge encryption
- The vendor says data is encrypted on the client, so the server never sees it, and is also encrypted in transit and at rest.
- Directory and SSO integration
- Supports Active Directory and LDAP, with LDAP group mapping to provision users, and SAML single sign-on.
- Secrets for developers
- An API, a command-line tool, container images and a Python library deliver secrets to CI/CD pipelines, Docker and Kubernetes.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
