Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 9 of the 27 other password managers we grade
KeePassium opens and edits KeePass database files on iOS and macOS, and you choose where the file is stored. It syncs with the cloud storage apps that appear in the Files app and fills passwords through AutoFill. The source code is public under the GPL v3, and the maker says an outside firm has audited it.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about KeePassium, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You set up the storage that holds your database.
- 1
Best for KeePass vaults on iPhone, iPad and Mac
It is Apple only, and YubiKey support and password audit need a paid version.
- 2
Paid plans start at about $1.86 a month
As its pricing page puts it: €19.99 per year (Premium).
- 3
There is a free plan
Free forever: one database, synchronization, Password AutoFill, Face ID or Touch ID unlock, OTP codes and file attachments.
- 4
It runs on 2 platforms
iOS and macOS.
- 5
KeePass database support
Reads kdb, kdbx3 and kdbx4 files using AES, ChaCha20, Twofish and Argon2, so databases move between KeePass apps.
- 6
Sync with your own storage
Works with offline files and with online databases, including two-way sync with almost any provider in the Files app.
- 7
AutoFill and biometrics
Fill logins in apps and websites with Password AutoFill, and unlock with Face ID or Touch ID.
- 8
A 2.8 GPA, above 9 of 27
That is against the other password managers we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace KeePassium you would be making a password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for KeePass vaults on iPhone, iPad and Mac
KeePassium opens KeePass databases on Apple devices, free for one database with AutoFill and Face ID, with Premium at EUR 19.99 a year. It is Apple only, and YubiKey support and password audit need a paid version.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Premium is EUR 19.99 a year, inside the cheapest quarter of password managers. Pro is a EUR 79.99 lifetime licence, under two years of the typical subscription. |
| Free plan and trial | A | Free forever for one database, with synchronization, AutoFill, Face ID or Touch ID, one-time codes and attachments. One database is a cap few people reach. |
| Features | B | KeePass database support, sync through your own storage, AutoFill, one-time codes, YubiKey, backups and history. Password audit and YubiKey are paid. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You set up the storage that holds your database. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | iOS and macOS only, with no Windows, Android or web version. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who KeePassium is for
- Fits if you keep a KeePass database and use Apple devices
- Works for people who want to sync through their own cloud storage
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you use Windows or Android, as it is Apple only
- Tight if you keep more than one database, since the free version allows one
- Watch out: YubiKey support and password audit need Premium or Pro
- Watch out: prices on the maker's site are in euros, and the US App Store lists Premium at $19.99
- Watch out: with Intune, Password AutoFill is not supported and the managed edition runs on iOS only
Good to know
Good for

- The free version is limited to one database; YubiKey support and password audit need Premium or Pro.
- Prices on the maker's site are in euros; the US App Store listing shows Premium at $19.99.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace KeePassium you would be making a password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves. 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.
What you could not
- A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves.
- Apps for macOS and iOS that stay in step with each other.
- It plugs into other products, KeePassXC, KeePass and Microsoft Intune among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. KeePassium’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
