KeePassium opens and edits KeePass database files on iOS and macOS, and you choose where the file is stored.

The source code is public under the GPL v3, and the maker says an outside firm has audited it. - **Category:** Password Managers - **Made by:** KeePassium Labs - **Website:** https://keepassium.com - **Runs on:** iOS, macOS - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you use Windows or Android, as it is Apple only. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 12, 2026 ## Pricing As of Nov 12, 2026, KeePassium has a free plan, and paid plans start at €19.99 per year (Premium). - **Pricing model:** Free plan - **Free plan:** Free forever: one database, synchronization, Password AutoFill, Face ID or Touch ID unlock, OTP codes and file attachments. - **Free trial:** None listed. | Plan | Price | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | Free | $0 | One database with sync, AutoFill, biometric unlock, OTP codes and attachments; donations are optional. | | Premium | €19.99 per year (price shown in euros) | Unlimited databases, YubiKey support, quick AutoFill, password audit and field references, on iOS and macOS. | | Pro | €79.99 one-time, lifetime license (price shown in euros) | The Premium features as a lifetime license, covering iOS and macOS with one purchase. | | Business & Intune | €36 per user / year (price shown in euros) | For managed environments: MDM configuration and Microsoft Intune support; volume discounts apply. | Read from https://keepassium.com/pricing on Nov 12, 2026.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $22.33 a year. KeePassium is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself. - You could not: A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves. - You could not: Apps for macOS and iOS that stay in step with each other. - You could not: It plugs into other products, KeePassXC, KeePass and Microsoft Intune among them. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
