Bitwarden vs LastPass
Both ladders below were read from the vendors’ own pricing pages, in this market, on the dates shown. Nothing is converted: what you see is what each page showed a reader here.
What each one is
Bitwardensite ↗pricing ↗
An open-source password manager for individuals and teams, which can also be self-hosted. Paid plans start at $1.65/mo (Premium); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 3 paid tiers, topping out at $4/mo (Teams). We read the same $1.65/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country. The headline monthly figures collect once a year — billed annually — and the free tier is a real plan.
LastPasssite ↗pricing ↗
A password manager for individuals and businesses, with browser-first autofill and shared folders. Paid plans start at $3/mo (Premium); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 2 paid tiers, topping out at $4/mo (Families). It bills by country — entry £2.6/mo to a UK reader and €2.9/mo in the eurozone, from our same-day reads. Its published prices moved on 2026-08-28 — the change log holds the rows.
