About Bitwarden

Bitwarden is a security tool for keeping credentials safe. In its own words: Bitwarden is the trusted, open source password manager for individuals, teams, and enterprises. Securely store, share, and manage passwords, passkeys, and secrets. Free to start.

What the free plan gives you

Free plan with unlimited passwords and devices.

Because Bitwarden is open source, the ceiling is your own infrastructure rather than a billing page. Self-hosting costs nothing but your time, and a hosted plan is there if you would rather not run it.

What it does

Bitwarden covers autofill everything instantly, secure sharing at scale, business protection, personal security, security you can trust.

When you would pay

You may never need to. The free tier is not a funnel step here, so the sensible move is to use it until something it genuinely cannot do forces the question.

We list Bitwarden because the free plan was checked against its own pricing page, not because a vendor asked. If it has changed, tell us and we will re-check it.

The free plan in practice

What you can actually do on Bitwarden's free plan (Free plan with unlimited passwords and devices), where it stops, and when it's worth paying.

When to upgrade to a paid plan

Bitwarden is open source, so self-hosting is free and unlimited. The only reason to pay is convenience: choose a hosted or cloud option when you'd rather not run and maintain it yourself, or need official support.
