Where each one falls short

Bitwarden

  • The integrated TOTP authenticator, encrypted file attachments, vault health reports and Emergency Access are all withheld from the free plan and need Premium at $1.65 per month

  • File storage is capped at 5 GB on Premium and 5 GB personal plus 5 GB family on the Families plan
  • Two-step login accepts up to 10 hardware security keys per account
  • The Families plan is capped at 6 people, so a seventh member means moving to a Teams subscription at $4 per user per month

Quo

  • Unlimited calling to US and Canadian numbers is subject to a Fair Usage Policy rather than being truly unlimited
  • Starter tier's $15/user annual rate requires prepaying annually; monthly billing costs $19/user, about 27% more
