Pros and cons
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.
LastPass US LP
Pros
- Covers Windows, macOS and Linux from a single account
- Authenticator support through TOTP codes sits in the same vault, listed under totp
- A free plan is available, and the paid tier can be tried for 30
Cons
- Support runs on help centre, community and email only, with live chat and a phone line not listed
- Free storage stops at 1, below the 5 seen across the brands compared
- LastPass Families: 6 Premium accounts means shared family logins stop at that many Premium accounts
Who each suits
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.
LastPass US LP
Who it suits
- People moving between a Windows desktop, a Mac laptop and a phone who want one vault
- Households sharing logins through LastPass Families, which covers LastPass Families: 6 Premium accounts
- Users who keep authenticator codes next to their passwords
Who should look elsewhere
- Total Password, which has no free plan, so you pay from the first day
- Apple Inc., whose apps run on iOS, iPadOS and macOS only, for buyers who stay inside that ecosystem
- ESET Brasil, which lists Windows, Windows Server and macOS, for teams that also cover Windows servers

Questions about each
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.
LastPass US LP
Is there a free version of LastPass?+
Yes. A free plan is available and includes 1 of storage. It covers the same Windows, macOS and Linux range as the paid tiers, so you can start at no cost and move up later if the limits get in the way.
What does the free trial cover?+
The paid tier can be tried for 30. That window sits alongside the free plan, so you can compare what a paid vault adds before committing. Trial accounts use the same AES-256 encryption with PBKDF2 hashing and SHA-256 salting as every other tier.
