The short version

  • Only Keeper has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Keeper free tier is severely limited to 10 passwords on a single device; essentially a trial rather than a usable free version; Totara you cannot buy from the vendor. Every purchase runs through a partner who sets its own hosting, services and support pricing, so identical platforms are quoted at materially different totals and buyers must run a partner comparison as well as a product comparison.
  • They diverge on capability: Keeper covers Password management, Totara covers Organisational hierarchies.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Keeper

  • Free tier is severely limited to 10 passwords on a single device; essentially a trial rather than a usable free version
  • Personal plan at $1.79/month is promotional pricing; regular price is higher, making budget comparison difficult

Totara

  • You cannot buy from the vendor. Every purchase runs through a partner who sets its own hosting, services and support pricing, so identical platforms are quoted at materially different totals and buyers must run a partner comparison as well as a product comparison.
  • Open source does not mean cheap. Subscription plus partner hosting plus implementation and version upgrade services commonly lands near commercial system cost, and the saving is in control and exit rights rather than in the invoice.
  • The administrative interface carries its Moodle lineage and is dense, so administrator training is a real project cost rather than an afterthought.
  • Major version upgrades are projects, especially where a partner has customised the deployment, and organisations that customise heavily find upgrades slower and dearer over time.
  • The learner facing experience is functional rather than engaging, and organisations wanting a consumer grade learning experience usually front it with something else.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Keeper: Is there a free version of Keeper?

Keeper offers a free version with very limited functionality: it stores only 10 passwords on a single mobile device with no cross-device sync. A 30-day free trial provides full access to all features.

Source
Totara: Is Totara free because it is open source?

No. The source is available under the GPL, but supported releases require a subscription, and it is sold through partners who add hosting, implementation and support costs.

Keeper: What are Keeper's paid pricing plans?

Keeper Personal starts at $1.79/month (promotional pricing) with annual billing. Keeper Family covers up to 5 users at $3.83/month annually. Both include unlimited password storage, cross-device sync, and 2FA support.

Source
Totara: How is it different from Moodle?

Moodle is built around courses and academic delivery. Totara adds organisational hierarchies, role based automatic assignment, recurring certification and appraisal, which is what workplace compliance reporting needs.

Keeper: What browsers and devices does Keeper support?

Keeper has browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Brave, and Opera. It also offers native apps for iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and web access.

Source
Totara: Can we host it ourselves?

Yes. Self hosting is a genuine option and is one of the main reasons regulated and public sector buyers choose it over a hosted only competitor.

Keeper: Does Keeper support 2FA and passkeys?

Yes, Keeper stores and autofills FIDO2 passkeys and supports multiple 2FA methods including TOTP, SMS, and WebAuthn. Biometric login (fingerprint/face recognition) is also supported.

Source
Keeper: How secure is Keeper?

Keeper uses zero-knowledge architecture where data is encrypted and decrypted only on your device. Only you can access your vault, and the company cannot see your passwords or data.
