The short version

  • Only Keeper Password Manager has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Keeper Password Manager free tier limited to 10 passwords on one device only; One Identity the portfolio is assembled from separate acquisitions, so components are separately licensed, separately administered and do not present one console, which raises operational cost.
  • They diverge on capability: Keeper Password Manager covers Zero-knowledge security, One Identity covers Identity Manager.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Keeper Password Manager

  • Free tier limited to 10 passwords on one device only
  • Personal and Family plans lack team collaboration features
  • Higher per-user cost for small teams compared to some competitors

One Identity

  • The portfolio is assembled from separate acquisitions, so components are separately licensed, separately administered and do not present one console, which raises operational cost.
  • Identity Manager implementations are customisation-heavy and commonly run over a year, with the services spend exceeding the licence cost in the first year.
  • Quest has changed private equity ownership more than once since the Dell separation, and buyers should ask directly about product investment commitments before signing a multi-year deal.
  • Product documentation and support sit behind a customer portal, which makes independent evaluation before purchase harder than with vendors that publish openly.
  • The cloud-native and developer experience trails the pure-play identity vendors, so organisations moving decisively to SaaS applications find the on premises heritage becomes a constraint rather than an asset.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Keeper Password Manager: Does Keeper offer a free tier?

Keeper's free version stores only 10 passwords on a single mobile device with no cross-device sync and is effectively a trial.

Source
One Identity: Is One Identity the same company as Quest?

Yes. One Identity is Quest Software's identity and access management business unit, not a separate vendor.

Keeper Password Manager: What does Keeper Business cost?

Keeper Business Starter costs $2 per user per month for 5-10 users. Keeper Business costs $3.75 per user per month for unlimited users.

Source
One Identity: Does it include privileged access?

Safeguard provides it, but it is licensed separately from Identity Manager. Neither includes the other.

Keeper Password Manager: Does Keeper Enterprise include SSO?

Yes. Keeper Enterprise includes single sign-on capabilities along with compliance and reporting features at $6 per user per month.

Source
One Identity: Why choose this over SailPoint or Saviynt?

Almost always because of Active Directory depth via Active Roles or an appliance requirement for privileged sessions. For cloud-first estates the specialists are the stronger choice.

Keeper Password Manager: What security features does Keeper include?

Keeper uses zero-knowledge encryption where the company cannot access passwords, plus advanced features like privileged access management and session recording on Enterprise Plus.
