And if I use any more things from the suite, it's still the same price. And yeah, maybe in 40 months I would be spending more money, but there's no guarantee I wouldn't be spending money to upgrade at that point. I've been getting into video editing as a hobby, and the fact that I could use Premier for $20/month rather than the single time purchase of $800 or whatever it used to be is the difference between me being able to use it or not. I've been thinking about this a lot about Adobe lately, specifically. As a product engineer, a single integrated sync is easier to provide guarantees, and prevents a lot of problems caused by third parties with no recourse to debug. If I had a broad sync strategy maybe I would feel otherwise, but I don't-to the contrary, I'm moving away from Dropbox because of the shenanigans they are pulling with my OS internals, and maintaining a VPS or even an AWS account with S3 is a significant burden that I don't take lightly. Personally though, after many years of using 1Password + Dropbox, I must say I've had a lot fewer sync problems since migrating over to 1Password for Families. I don't want my password manager to be cutting corners because they can't afford to invest properly in the product.Īs far as deprecating the bring-your-own-sync approach, I understand this is legit flexibility that some customers want, and I'm glad there is a competitor that does a good job of it. $5/month is not a crazy price to pay for a critical piece of software you use every day-to the contrary I kind of feel like it's the minimum price for a consumer software product to be sustainable. This strikes me as reasonable and naturally aligned with the customer expectation that this software be supported in perpetuity as OSes and browsers evolve over time. Like many software companies, 1Password made a business decision to focus on a subscription product. ![]() It's slightly shocking how angry people get about companies going from one-time purchase to subscription. However show me an alternative with a UX that is simple enough for my 6 year old to use, that works on iOS, Android, MacOS, and now Linux. Yes there might be better password managers out there and they might have better security. ![]() The thing that finally made it an incredible app was when Apple finally allowed 3rd party password management in iOS. The research shows that strong passwords and limiting re-use is extremely effective at preventing account compromises and 1Password makes this dead simple. I get that people bristle about SaaS subscriptions in their personal life but the $60/year it costs is well worth it. My partner and I both have personal vaults, we have a shared vault for financial stuff, and a shared vault for our media accounts (that we share with the kids too) Its got great features for sharing vaults with other people so I've got password managers setup for the kids too. A few years ago I got my partner setup in a few minutes and now they have strong passwords everywhere.
