Pros and cons
Enpass
Pros
- A free plan exists and holds Up to 25 items in 1 vault, so a small vault costs nothing to keep.
- Entry price $1.99 undercuts Total Password, which lists €9.99 at entry.
- Vault data stays in the user's own cloud, so nothing readable rests on Enpass servers.
Cons
- Enpass is not open source, so outside researchers cannot read the code themselves.
- Support runs on help centre, community and email, with no phone line or live chat in that list.
- The free plan stops at Up to 25 items in 1 vault, so a larger vault needs a paid plan.
Keeper
Pros
- A free plan is included, and most managers in this comparison offer one too (72.3%).
- Records are encrypted on the device using AES with elliptic-curve cryptography, so a stored vault stays unreadable to the provider, and TLS covers traffic in transit.
- Coverage spans Windows, macOS and Linux, so one vault reaches desktop, mobile, browser extension and web app.
Cons
- The service runs under Keeper Security, Inc. and US terms, which readers in other legal regimes should weigh before storing sensitive logins.
- Phone and chat support are less common than email and help centres in this comparison, at 41.1% and 34.4% of brands, though Keeper's email, chat and phone includes both.
- Shared allowances stop at 5 private vaults, 10 GB file storage, so a household that stores a lot of files needs a bigger tier than the family plan.
Who each suits
Enpass
Who it suits
- People who want a password manager to try with no payment, since the free plan holds Up to 25 items in 1 vault.
- Users who already back up to their own cloud and want the vault stored there rather than on a vendor's servers.
- Households sharing a subscription, since the family plan adds family management on annual billing.
Who should look elsewhere
- People who want passwords kept inside the operating system, where Apple Inc. covers iOS, iPadOS and macOS.
- Buyers set on a different vendor at a higher entry price, such as Total Password at €9.99.
- Anyone who needs a vault larger than Up to 25 items in 1 vault without paying.
Keeper
Who it suits
- Readers who want to try a password manager on a free plan before paying for anything.
- Households that need separate private vaults plus shared file storage, which is what 5 private vaults, 10 GB file storage sets out.
- People who want to reach help through email, chat and phone, including live chat and phone.
Who should look elsewhere
- People who want one ecosystem for everything, since Apple's iOS, iPadOS and macOS covers its own devices and nothing else.
- Teams that need Windows Server coverage, since Windows, Windows Server and macOS lists it and Keeper's Windows, macOS and Linux does not.
- Readers who expect every manager in the comparison to hand out a free plan, since Total Password has none while Keeper does.

Questions about each
Enpass
How much does Enpass cost to start?+
Enpass lists plans from $1.99 at the entry point. The family plan is billed annually and adds family management for a small group of people. On entry price the brand ranks 4 of 36 brands compared here, so the starting figure sits toward the cheap end.
Is there a free version of Enpass?+
Yes, Enpass has a free plan, and it holds Up to 25 items in 1 vault. That cap suits a short list of logins rather than a full household vault, and it means trying the apps costs nothing. Anyone who outgrows the limit moves to a paid plan.
Keeper
Does Keeper have a free plan?+
Yes. Keeper offers a free plan, and so do most managers in this comparison (72.3%). The free tier shows how the vault behaves with your own accounts, while the paid family plan is where 5 private vaults, 10 GB file storage comes in.
What kind of prices do these password managers sit in?+
Across the brands compared here, monthly plans run as low as €0.87 and as high as €63.95, while longer terms sit between €0.73 and €99. A median long-term price of €3.97 shows where a multi-year commitment usually lands.
