How we grade them
| 3.0GPANordPassVery good | 2.4GPAPasspackFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CA 12-month plan is $31.99 to $35.99 on the US App Store, so $2.67 to $3 a month, which is the ordinary middle of this category. Pay by the month and it's $4.99, within a penny of the dearest tenth, for the same thing. | BTeams is $1.66 a user a month paid yearly, inside the cheap end of this category, for up to 20 people with unlimited passwords and sharing. Single sign-on, Active Directory, the API and the admin controls need Business at $4.50, the dear end. |
| Free plan and trial | BThe free plan stores, generates and autofills passwords and passkeys with no limit named, so you could live on it. What it leaves out, per an outside review, is weak-password checks and breach scanning, and file attachments are Premium. | CNo free plan and no plan for individuals, but a 28-day free trial with no credit card. That's long enough to move a small team over before anyone pays. |
| Features | BNothing this category expects is missing: autofill and autosave for logins, cards and personal details, passkeys, a Password Health check, a Data Breach Scanner, email masking and an authenticator for one-time codes. None of it is beyond the rivals either. | CZero-knowledge encryption, sharing with people and teams, one-time shares with outsiders, built-in TOTP codes and password history. The gap the listing names is autofill: the only extension is for Chrome, with Firefox and Edge coming soon, and there's no Android app. |
| Ease of use | A4.7 from about 13,000 App Store ratings, which is the top band here. It saves a login as you make it and fills it in with a click, and you unlock with your face or fingerprint. | CNo rating on record. It's a team tool, so someone sets up the account, the teams and the sharing first. Autofill only works in Chrome and on iPhone; anywhere else you're in the web app. |
| Platforms and integrations | BMac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android and a browser extension, so every device you own is covered. But there's no web vault, no API and no integrations on record, so there's nothing to wire it into. | BWeb, iPhone and a Chrome extension, with sign-in through Google, Microsoft or Active Directory, YubiKey support and an API on Business. No desktop or Android app, and Firefox and Edge are still to come. |
| Best for | password storage with breach alerts and masked emails | small teams sharing passwords on a budget |
