Putting the Electron and subscription model debates to the side, if you're unhappy with 1Password and on macOS, consider switching to Minimalist Password. Currently a fair fixed price model, solid native apps for macOS, iOS & iPadOS, and iCloud syncing. They release updates often enough, and have been super responsive via Twitter about making small tweaks. The only thing missing are Chrome/FF extensions but they're coming (have to copy/paste on desktop unless you use Safari).

What important differences are there between Apple’s iCloud Keychain password management and Minimalist Password? Is it just the (coming soon) Chrome support?
iCloud Keychain password manager is becoming more capable but still pretty limited. Aside from the extensions to support more browsers soon, Minimalist Password provides some of the sugar that 1Password has, like the ability to store different things beyond just passwords (credit cards, crypto wallet keys for hot wallets, software licenses, secure notes, etc.) It also includes the ability to add custom fields of various types to password entries, and tags for grouping. It's more of a comprehensive secrets manager.
