Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
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
- Free accounts can share vault items with one other Bitwarden user and no more
- 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
Zenoti
- Zenoti publishes no prices: the pricing page names plans by business type but gives no rate, no per location fee and no minimum, and routes every enquiry to a quote or demo
- Multi location pricing is described as customised to the customer's footprint, so two buyers of the same size are not guaranteed the same rate
- Communication costs such as messaging are billed on consumption on top of the plan
- Functionality is extended through paid add ons rather than being included in a single plan
