Zen Passwords against the password manager you are weighing it up with

The verdict comes first, and it is often not us

A comparison written by one of the two products is worth reading only if it is willing to lose. So each page here opens with a plain verdict in the first paragraph, and in two of the three that verdict sends most readers to the other product. Apple Passwords is free, built in, and enough for a lot of people. Bitwarden is the better default for anyone who needs a browser, a Windows machine, or a shared vault.

After the verdict, each page walks six situations and names a winner for each one, because “which is better” has no answer until you say better at what. A person with one iPhone and twelve logins and a person running a small team on mixed hardware are not asking the same question, and a table of ticks pretends they are.

Every claim about the other product is limited to things that stay true: platforms, account model, sharing, what happens to your data if you stop paying. No prices, because a price on a page nobody re-checks goes wrong in public and takes the rest of the page down with it. Each page carries the date its claims were last checked and a link to the other product’s own site, so you can go and see.

If you have already decided and want the mechanics of moving, the handover pages cover what exports cleanly, what you re-enter by hand, and what to check before you cancel anything.
