The short version

  • Only RoboForm has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: RoboForm free plan is restricted to a single device; syncing across multiple devices requires the Premium plan; Unit21 it is built for fintech scale rather than card issuer scale, so organisations reaching very high transaction volumes generally re-evaluate against heavier platforms and face a migration.
  • 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.

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

Unit21

  • It is built for fintech scale rather than card issuer scale, so organisations reaching very high transaction volumes generally re-evaluate against heavier platforms and face a migration.
  • No-code rule authoring shifts power to the risk team, which is the point, but without governance it produces rule sprawl that nobody can explain to an examiner two years later.
  • Detection quality depends on the signals you feed it, so a thin integration produces thin results and the platform cannot compensate with proprietary consortium data the way larger vendors do.
  • Pricing is quoted by volume with an annual commitment, so a fintech whose growth stalls pays for headroom it did not use.
  • SAR filing coverage is oriented to United States FinCEN reporting, so firms filing in the United Kingdom, European Union or Asia handle those submissions outside the tool.

Only for the initial data integration. After that the design intent is that risk and compliance staff author and deploy rules themselves.

RoboForm: Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes, RoboForm offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans.

Source
Unit21: Does it file SARs?

Yes, it generates and electronically files suspicious activity reports to FinCEN. Non-US regimes are not covered to the same depth.

Unit21: Can we test a rule before it goes live?

Yes. Backtesting against historical data to see projected alert volume is one of the more useful parts of the product, because alert volume is the real cost.
