I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. I find $36/yearly a bargain for the value their product provides. 1Password is one of those tools I couldn't imagine my life without. And $36 is a small price to pay to have my online identity a little safer and more manageable.

I also find $36 yearly to be a highly reasonable bargain for any company which has the reputation and credibility, but for an unknown company, I don't know if I'd pay <free> for them to keep my passwords. Arguably, a credible reputation is as valuable as the security product itself, which most people can't evaluate.

For me the product is quite feature finished as it is (even before their cloud option came), and in general I dislike subscriptions.

I don't mind paying for software upgrades, and new versions. But all these companies counting on sleepwalking subscription models, oh hey, call me oldschool.

Bitwarden's pricings seem much more reasonable, going to check it out.

There is still an option to purchase a license.

However, I have to disagree about the "feature finished". We had a lot of customer feedback over the years and 1Password Teams is based on it.

I want to pay the $36 a year and not use their cloud.

[roustem]

In this case you can still purchase a license. It is less convenient but the option is there.

1Password 7 Beta supports local vaults

[woolvalley]

Do you have to use the single license edition and buy one for each OS or are you forced to use the cloud instance if you get the subscription?

[bwoodruff]

Licenses are still available. It is also possible to pay the subscription and use local vaults, though this would not be recommended. - Ben, AgileBits
