Our verdict on each
AgileBits Inc.
AgileBits suits anyone who wants passwords, passkeys and one-time codes in a single app, and who will pay a few dollars more than a bare-minimum option. Entry sits at $2.99, the longest plan runs 12 months, and support is written rather than live.
Keeper
Keeper suits readers who want a password manager they can open on a free plan and grow into later, with passkeys, on-device encryption that keeps records unreadable to the provider, and a family plan that covers 5 private vaults, 10 GB file storage.

Pros and cons
AgileBits Inc.
Pros
- Apps cover macOS, iOS and watchOS, so a desktop, a phone, a watch and the main browsers all come under one subscription.
- Vault information is encrypted end to end, and Secure Remote Password keeps the account password off the server.
- Independent penetration tests and code reviews are published, so the audit trail is readable rather than asserted.
Cons
- There is no free plan, so every feature sits behind a payment.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, so urgent questions wait for email.
- The longest plan runs 12 months, so there is no multi-year rate to lock in.
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
AgileBits Inc.
Who it suits
- People who want one app for passwords, passkeys and one-time codes.
- Households that need shared vaults, since the family plan spreads vaults across the family on a promotional annual rate.
- Business buyers, since the audience AgileBits names is business.
Who should look elsewhere
- Apple Inc., whose monthly price of $0.99 is the lowest here, for buyers counting every dollar.
- Sinew Software Systems, at $1.99 a month, if a password vault alone is the whole need.
- MEGA, whose long-term plan price of $1.67 beats $3.99, for shoppers deciding on one number.
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.
