Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 9 of the 49 other password managers we grade
Pleasant Password Server is a multi-user password management server that companies run on their own infrastructure. It works with KeePass and Password Safe clients and adds role-based access, a web client and mobile apps. Licenses are bought per user as a one-time cost.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Pleasant Password Server, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You install and maintain the server yourself, which is configuration work before anyone saves a password.
- 1
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.
- 2
What it costs
Paid plans start at $11 per user, one-time, from 5 users ($55).

That is against the other password managers we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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 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 it 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
Good to know
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.

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 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.
