How we rank. We work out the cheapest way to cover your household: either individual plans multiplied by the number of people, or a single family plan (which covers up to six for a flat price), whichever is less. That's why Bitwarden wins for a solo user (its free tier is genuinely unlimited) but family plans take over from two people up, where the per-person cost drops below a dollar. Prices are indicative USD, converted live to your currency, checked periodically, confirm on the provider's site.

Common questions

Are password managers worth paying for?

Often a free tier is plenty, Bitwarden syncs unlimited passwords across unlimited devices free. You pay mainly for family sharing and extras, not the core vault.

What's the best free password manager?

Bitwarden, unlimited passwords and devices, open-source and auditable. KeePassXC is another strong free, open-source pick if you want your vault only on your own devices.

Is a family plan cheaper?

Usually, once 2+ people share. One family plan covers up to six for a flat price, so per-person cost collapses, often well under $1 each versus six separate subscriptions.

Are password managers safe?

Reputable ones use zero-knowledge encryption, even the provider can't read your vault. A breach would expose only encrypted data, useless without your master password.
