Keeper vs Bitwarden vs NordPass: Small Team Cost
Short answer: for a team of 5 to 10, Bitwarden Teams at $4 per user per month is the easiest published price to plan around: about $240 a year for 5 users and $480 for 10. NordPass is in the same range or a little cheaper, and Keeper may be the cheapest on paper but its pricing is the hardest to pin down, because sources disagree and one says Keeper no longer publishes per-seat rates. Ask Keeper for a quote before you compare it with the others.
Prices below are US list prices on annual billing unless stated, checked on November 8, 2026. This is a cost comparison, not a security audit. Password manager prices vary between review sites, so confirm on each vendor's checkout page before you buy.

| Bitwarden Enterprise | $6.00 | No minimum reported | Adds SSO, enterprise policies and granular access controls |
| NordPass Teams | $1.79 to $1.99 | Sold as a 10-seat pack only | Includes Google Workspace SSO, per one guide |
| NordPass Business | $3.59 to $3.99 | 5-user minimum | $3.59 is reported to be an introductory price; SSO only with Google Workspace |
| NordPass Enterprise | $5.39 annual (one source); $7.99 monthly | 5-user minimum | Okta and Entra ID SSO |
| Keeper Business Starter | $2.00 (two sources) or $7 flat per month (two sources) | 5 to 10 users | Sources conflict, see below |

What a team of 5 or 10 pays per year
| Option | 5 users per year | 10 users per year |
|---|---|---|
| Bitwarden Teams ($4) | $240 | $480 |
| Bitwarden Enterprise ($6) | $360 | $720 |
| NordPass Teams ($1.79 to $1.99) | Not sold below 10 seats | $215 to $239 |
| NordPass Business ($3.59 to $3.99) | $215 to $239 | $431 to $479 |
| NordPass Enterprise ($5.39) | $323 | $647 |
| Keeper Business Starter if $2 per user | $120 | $240 |
| Keeper Business Starter if $7 flat per month | $84 | $84 |
| Keeper Business at $3.75 per user | $225 | $450 |
Prices are annual list price multiplied by users and 12 months, and they do not include tax. The Keeper Starter rows show why you need a quote. The gap between $84 and $240 a year for the same plan is bigger than the gap between most of the other options.
The Keeper pricing problem
Two business password manager guides list Keeper Business Starter at $2 per user per month for 5 to 10 users. Two others list it at $7 a month for the whole plan. One guide published in September 2026 says Keeper is now quote-only and no longer publishes per-seat rates, so it treats the $3.75 figure as indicative. A fifth table lists $3.75 as the Starter price and $5 for Business, while others call $3.75 the Business price.
The honest summary is that Keeper's list prices for small teams are not reliable on third-party sites. Start a trial or request a quote, write down the per-user price and the minimum seats, then compare it with Bitwarden and NordPass using the table above.
SSO and admin limits that change the real price
- Bitwarden: Teams does not include SSO. SSO, enterprise policies and granular access controls come with Enterprise at $6. One guide says self-hosting is an Enterprise feature, while another says self-hosting is free, so check which plan you would need if self-hosting matters to you.
- NordPass: Teams and Business support Google Workspace SSO only. Okta and Entra ID need Enterprise. That makes NordPass attractive for small teams on Google Workspace and less so for Microsoft-based teams that need Entra ID.
- Keeper: Business Starter includes an encrypted vault, admin console, sharing and autofill, according to one guide. Another says SSO is an extra-cost add-on. A third says Keeper's higher tiers include SOC 2 certification and FedRAMP Moderate, which matters to compliance-heavy teams.
If your team uses Google Workspace, our Google Workspace vs Microsoft 365 cost guide covers the base plan. If you are on Microsoft 365 and need Entra ID sign-in, price the Enterprise tier of each option, not the Teams tier.
Which one fits your team
| Your situation | Better fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 5 to 10 people, no SSO, predictable price | Bitwarden Teams | One clear price, $4 per user |
| Small team on Google Workspace | NordPass Teams or Business | Google Workspace SSO included at the lower tiers |
| Exactly 10 people and lowest list price | NordPass Teams | 10-seat pack at $1.79 to $1.99 per user |
| You need Okta or Entra ID sign-in | NordPass Enterprise or Bitwarden Enterprise | SSO for those directories needs the top tiers |
| Compliance and audit are priorities | Keeper, after getting a quote | Certifications reported, but price and SSO cost need confirming |
| You want open-source code | Bitwarden | Reviewers describe it as open-source with self-hosting; NordPass is described as not open-source |
Before you buy
- Count the people who will really use it, plus contractors who will need shared logins.
- Decide whether you need SSO now or in a year, and price the plan that includes it.
- Check whether the price you see is an introductory rate, and what it becomes at renewal.
- Ask for the seat minimum, the billing term and the cancellation rules in writing. This is the same habit as in our SaaS renewal audit.
Fact-check notes
- Keeper: sources disagree on Starter ($2 per user, or $7 a month for the plan) and on whether Keeper publishes prices at all. Treat every Keeper number here as unconfirmed until you get a quote.
- NordPass: annual prices differ between guides ($3.59 or $3.99 for Business, $1.79 or $1.99 for Teams). One guide says $3.59 is promotional. The $5.39 Enterprise price comes from one source.
- Bitwarden: Teams $4 and Enterprise $6 match across all the sources I read, and one guide says business prices were not raised in 2026. The January 2026 increase from $10 to $19.80 a year applied to the personal Premium plan, not business plans.
- Self-hosting: sources conflict on whether it is free on Teams or limited to Enterprise.
- Security: I did not compare encryption, breach history or audit reports, and this article makes no claim about which product is safest.
