## Key features

- **Self-hosted deployment:** Runs on infrastructure you control, including on-premises, private cloud, hybrid and air-gapped setups, with a perpetual-use license.
- **KeePass and Password Safe clients:** A KeePass client for Windows is included, giving a familiar KeePass interface with multi-user support.

- **Many ways in:** A web client, a browser autofill extension, macOS and Linux clients, and Android and iOS apps.
- **Multi-factor sign-in:** Supports authenticator apps (TOTP), biometrics, YubiKey, RADIUS and email codes, and can generate TOTP codes for stored entries.

## Good for

- Organizations that want KeePass users on a shared, central server
- Regulated or air-gapped environments that must self-host
- Teams that prefer a one-time license to a subscription

## Worth knowing

- Licenses include one year of upgrades; later upgrades and support are a separate plan costing under 50% of the license.
- The administrator counts as a user, and the price table starts at 5 users.
- The Community tier is not offered beyond 15 users in the price table.
- You host and maintain the server; there is no hosted version on the pricing page.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: B.** $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.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** There 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.
- **Features: C.** Roles, 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.
- **Ease of use: D.** You install and maintain the server yourself, which is configuration work before anyone saves a password. No store rating on record.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, 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 it, 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.

- You could not: A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, KeePass, Password Safe and Microsoft Azure among them.
- You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
