Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Authy

  • Free consumer app with no paid tier, so there is no vendor-stated enterprise SLA or support plan on the pricing side
  • Vendor markets multi-device sync as a core feature, meaning account security depends on cloud-backed codes rather than device-only storage

RoboForm

  • Free plan is restricted to a single device; syncing across multiple devices requires the Premium plan
  • Premium's advertised $2.49 per month rate is a first-year discount that renews at $29.88 per year
  • Family plan covers only up to 5 accounts and likewise renews at a higher $47.75 per year after the first-year discount
