I do find $36/yearly for a single licence quite alot for this kind of tool.

This is the kind of product that's so feature rich already, I would not need real new features built in. And storing a few passwords takes no diskspace either.

I'm using the non-cloud version, that sync with Dropbox, but suspect 1password of deliberately having it syncing poorly to push us to the cloud version.

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. I find $36/yearly a bargain for the value their product provides. 1Password is one of those tools I couldn't imagine my life without. And $36 is a small price to pay to have my online identity a little safer and more manageable.

I also find $36 yearly to be a highly reasonable bargain for any company which has the reputation and credibility, but for an unknown company, I don't know if I'd pay <free> for them to keep my passwords. Arguably, a credible reputation is as valuable as the security product itself, which most people can't evaluate.

For me the product is quite feature finished as it is (even before their cloud option came), and in general I dislike subscriptions.

I don't mind paying for software upgrades, and new versions. But all these companies counting on sleepwalking subscription models, oh hey, call me oldschool.

Bitwarden's pricings seem much more reasonable, going to check it out.

There is still an option to purchase a license.

However, I have to disagree about the "feature finished". We had a lot of customer feedback over the years and 1Password Teams is based on it.

I want to pay the $36 a year and not use their cloud.

In this case you can still purchase a license. It is less convenient but the option is there.

1Password 7 Beta supports local vaults

Do you have to use the single license edition and buy one for each OS or are you forced to use the cloud instance if you get the subscription?

Licenses are still available. It is also possible to pay the subscription and use local vaults, though this would not be recommended. - Ben, AgileBits

$36 yearly $3 monthly $.75 weekly $.10 daily

So, um....

I can literally walk around SF for 5 minutes and find a dime on the ground and then pay for 1Password.

How in the world is that too expensive?
