Sure, a local-only password manager doesn't need a subscription, and solutions such as KeePassXC demonstrate this quite well (as a user of it myself!)

However, in the case of 1Password it's not just about being a password manager; it's also about syncing passwords between devices, staying on top of (sometimes rapidly!) changing standards between devices and browser extensions, and being aware of the evolving landscape of best security practices.

This worked perfectly fine until they “fixed” it by removing Dropbox support, and now are apparently removing iCloud sync too

Maybe I’m just too old-school, thinking that when paying for software it’s yours.

Way too often, automatic upgrades silently break my existing software, take away functionality or introduce new bugs.

Anyway thanks for showing me KeePassXC, looks like something I’ll be very interested in
