Bitwarden
Open-source password manager, cheapest per seat
Bitwarden is open source, audited, and inexpensive. The Teams plan is a few dollars per user with shared collections. The apps are plainer than 1Password's, which some prefer.
Cost at your size
Team size
For 6 people: $24 a month.
Bitwarden costs $3.45 less than the median security & passwords tool for 6 people ($27.45).
Bitwarden pays for itself if it saves less than an hour a month at $30 an hour, our assumption.
