Thank you for pushing me to migrate away from Bitwarden. I've used them for years but I was moving away slowly; now I've moved.
Out of interest, where are you moving?
I don't see the problem here. It's a great product and if they want to make money then I don't mind. If it's too expensive, and they hike the price to something ridiculous then I'll vote with my wallet.
I am fine with the price increase, for me its how sneaky they're being about everything. If they sent a few emails about the recent changes I wouldn't care, but it feels like they do not want customers to know which is the last thing I want from a password manager.

I’m fine with paying a bit more. I honestly don’t think I even use any of the premium features. I started paying because their founder answered some question I sent years ago and I figured that kinds of support deserved my support. I could still be on the free tier if cost were a concern. With that said, I do find the direction here concerning. Quietly rewriting values, removing promise of free tier, hiking prices wi…
Time to act accordingly.

LOL.. you are correct. Funny thing though... the 'Always Free' text is linked to a "/start-free/" action\page. One could argue that they are hedging their bets.
Some other commenter says there are Archive.org cached versions with "Start free" instead of "Always free", so they must have backpedaled on this. Maybe they realized they turned the knob a bit too much towards "hot", increasing the temperature of the proverbial water too noticeably.

what are some bitwarden alternatives?
If you want to fully disassociate from bitwarden, there are vaultwarden compatible 3rd party clients. I like Keyguard.
After the LastPass fiasco I switched to selfhosting a password manager (bw). Rapidly starting to think even a vibecoded solution may be a better plan relying on commercial options. High risk of don’t roll your own crypto mistakes but realistically that’s not the threat model here anymore for the random individual. It’s online breaches or perhaps a wrench attack not highly skilled crypto adversary. Plus there are prob…
I'm not particularly worried about Bitwarden going belly up because it has already have such a well-established open-source replacement. The worst-case scenario is that Bitwarden make the clients incompatible with Vaultwarden, and like how OP already mentioned in the post, somebody in the community will fork them as soon as this happen.
When I first learnt about Bitwarden about 3 years ago, I started hosting Vaultwarden right away. Right now I have one instance for myself and another for my friend's company. Everything runs as smooth as butter. If you can self-host something, do self-host a Vaultwarden instance. If you are (like me) somewhat paranoid about the fact that Vaultwarden hasn't got a proper security audit on its codebase, just run it behi…
