Best for self-hosted shared KeePass vaults for a team
Pleasant Password Server puts a shared, role-based vault on a server you run, for KeePass and Password Safe users. Licences are one-time, but they start at 5 users, you host and patch the server yourself, and upgrades after the first year cost extra.
Who Pleasant Password Server is for
- Fits if you want KeePass users sharing one vault on your own hardware
- Works for regulated or air-gapped setups that cannot use a hosted vault
Who Pleasant Password Server is not for
- Skip it if you have no one to run a server, because there is no hosted version
- Not for you if you are one person: the price table starts at 5 users, so the floor is $55
- Pricey if you need more than Community, as Enterprise is $85 per user and Enterprise+SSO about $120
- Watch out: you get one year of upgrades, then pay for more, which the page puts under half the licence cost
- Tight if you want more than 15 users on the cheapest tier, which is not offered above that
Why Pleasant Password Server gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for money$11 per user one-time on Community, $55 for the 5-user minimum, which is under two years of the category's $2.99 middle subscription. Enterprise is $85 per user, so the cheap tier is the one to read.
- CFree plan and trialThere is a free demo to download or try live, and the page gives no length or card requirement. No free plan, so a demo is all you get before paying.
- CFeaturesRoles, KeePass and Password Safe clients, web client, mobile apps, MFA and a choice of database. The listing notes no hosted version and the administrator counts as a user.
- DEase of useYou install and maintain the server yourself, which is configuration work before anyone saves a password. No store rating on record.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android and a browser extension, with Azure, RADIUS and YubiKey hooks. Those are sign-in hooks more than app integrations, so no A.

Keep Pleasant Password Server, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Pleasant Password Server 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.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 32 of the 49 other password managers grade higher. It costs $11, paid once.
What you could not
- A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, KeePass, Password Safe and Microsoft Azure among them.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
What this rests on. Pleasant Password Server’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.
