Critical capabilities | 1Password | Bitwarden |
|---|---|---|
Widely compatible SSO integration | 1Password recently added Unlock with SSO, which is only compatible with OIDC protocols. | Bitwarden offers flexible integration options with your existing identity provider using standardized protocols, including OIDC and SAML2.0. |
Robust CLI and API access | The 1Password CLI and API offering lacks flexibility and is not yet established or proven effective for enterprises. | Bitwarden offers robust CLI and APIs to integrate, automate, or create scripts to help you manage Bitwarden and integrate it with other services. |
Detailed event logs held in perpetuity | 1Password event logs are held for a limited time and have less detail, making audits more difficult. | Bitwarden stores events indefinitely and tracks over 50 types of detailed events. |
Cloud and self-host deployment options | 1Password only offers a cloud-based deployment option, forcing you to use its data centers. This is limiting for businesses that require maximum control and data privacy. | Bitwarden offers both cloud-based and self-host deployment options. For businesses that prefer to self-host, Bitwarden enables you to store user vaults behind its firewalls, proxies, and other services. |
Open source transparency | 1Password keeps code hidden, limiting transparency and forcing you to blindly trust the security protocols are strong enough to keep your most sensitive data safe. | Bitwarden code is open for review for maximum transparency and is regularly inspected by third-party auditors, security experts, and members of the open source community. |
Cost-effective pricing for any size business | $7.99 per user per month | $6 per user per month |
