Worked example: annual cost at 5, 10 and 25 seats
Annual billing, before tax. We used each vendor's 1-year price so the rows compare like with like; NordPass is cheaper again on 2-year terms [1].
- At 15 people, 1Password's Starter Pack would be $299.40 plus 5 extra seats at $4.99 a month, or $598.80 a year [2].
- At 5 people, NordPass Business, NordPass Teams and Bitwarden Teams all land near $240 a year, but NordPass Business includes groups and shared folders that NordPass Teams lacks [1].
| Plan | 5 people | 10 people | 25 people |
|---|---|---|---|
| NordPass Teams | $238.80 (you buy the 10-user pack) | $238.80 | Not listed: Teams is sold as a 10-user pack |
| NordPass Business | $239.40 | $478.80 | $1,197.00 |
| Bitwarden Teams | $240.00 | $480.00 | $1,200.00 |
| Bitwarden Enterprise | $360.00 | $720.00 | $1,800.00 |
| 1Password Teams Starter Pack | $299.40 (10 users minimum) | $299.40 | Not available: capped at 20 users |
| 1Password Business | $539.40 | $1,078.80 | $2,697.00 |
Admin console: groups, policies, activity logs and SSO by tier
NordPass: the organization management panel, company-wide settings, Password Policy, Granular Policies and the Activity Log appear in all three tiers. Group management starts at Business. SSO with Google Workspace is in every tier; SSO with Entra ID, MS ADFS and Okta, user and group provisioning, Network Allowlist and the Sharing Hub are Enterprise only [1].
Bitwarden: Teams includes event logs, user groups, Directory Connector, SCIM and API access [4]. Enterprise policies, such as master password requirements, required two-step login and single organization, are available only to Enterprise organizations [5], along with SSO login and Account Recovery administration [4].
1Password: the Starter Pack includes role-based permissions and lets admins recover locked-out accounts. Custom groups, vault permissions and policies, provisioning with Azure AD, Google Workspace and Okta, Unlock with SSO and custom business reports are marked as Business features [2].
Shared folders, collections and offboarding
NordPass shares credentials by folder from the Business tier, while Teams relies on item sharing [1]. Item Transfer is listed in all tiers, and NordPass says that when an employee leaves, their items stay with the organization and can be reassigned [1] [7].
Bitwarden organizes shared items in collections that belong to the organization. Removing a member removes their access to organization data, though they keep their personal vault unless you delete their account. Bitwarden advises updating credentials the member could see if you expect misuse, and making sure another member can manage any collection the leaver managed [6].
1Password recommends having at least two people who can recover accounts, so recovery still works if one admin is locked out [8]. Whichever you choose, change shared passwords a departing employee could see.
Trials and refunds
Checklist for choosing
- Count seats for the next 12 months: past 20, the 1Password Starter Pack no longer fits; NordPass Teams is sold as a 10-user pack.
- Do you need SSO with Okta or Entra ID? That means NordPass Enterprise, Bitwarden Enterprise or 1Password Business.
- Do you need enforced policies such as required two-step login? On Bitwarden that is Enterprise only.
- Do you need groups? NordPass Business, Bitwarden Teams or 1Password Business.
- Who recovers a locked-out employee? NordPass lists recovery of locked accounts in all tiers [1]; Bitwarden needs Enterprise [4]; 1Password includes it in both tiers [2].
- Plan offboarding: who owns shared items, and who rotates shared passwords.
- Start a trial with two or three real users before buying seats.
