How we grade them
| 2.4GPAPasspackFair | 3.2GPAZoho VaultVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | AStandard is $0.90 a user a month billed annually, or $1 monthly, where password managers here start at $2.49 in the cheapest quarter and $2.99 in the middle. That's under 60% of the cheap end, and it buys sharing, user roles and admin controls. |
| Free plan and trial | 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. | BFree Forever is unlimited passwords, passkeys and devices for one person, with autofill, offline access and a built-in authenticator. One person can genuinely live on it. Sharing a single login with anyone, though, means paying. |
| Features | 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. | CThe basics done properly: passwords, passkeys, autofill, a generator, a 2FA authenticator, plus sharing with permissions and audit trails on paid plans. The gaps are the listing's own. Shared folders, user groups and breached password alerts all wait for Professional, which needs 5 users. |
| Ease of use | 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. | B4.7 from about 880 App Store ratings, just short of the 1,000 we want before handing out an A. The vault opens with Touch ID, Windows Hello, a passkey or a YubiKey, so there's not much master-password typing. |
| Platforms and integrations | 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. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android and browser extensions, which is the lot. Then Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Okta, OneLogin and Active Directory, plus a command-line tool and webhooks on Professional. No Linux desktop app. |
