The 33% increase (47.88/35.88) for the "features" I don't need is too much. I will be switching to Bitwarden. I think if they increased the prices by 5% or something like that, I'd said fine, that >30% is simply not justified.

I don't really want to deal with hosting, TBH. I was pretty happy to pay to 1password, but I don't want to be exploited... So I am fine to pay to bitwarden.

The email I got with individual plan went from $35.88 USD / year to $47.88 USD

The new price then is $4/month. From $3/month. (So still 33% increase, similar to family plan in OP].

I found it very cheap before, which is part of what encouraged me to get it in the first place, vs trying to do something free. Would I have signed up for it originally at this price? I don't know. But it's not enough to make me switch to a competitor now, or try to find a way to do password management for free -- so they predicted succesfully for me that they'd keep me as a customer. Even though annoyed.

Definitely can't go back to having no password management. (I also use it for TOTP and passkey).

If I was on all Apple/iOS, I'd probably just use iCloud. But I need multi-OS-vendor support.

What one actually needs these days is not something one can get a reasonable UX for free for. (unless you only need apple OS's maybe? Or only chrome?). There's really no alternative. I think they realized that, and that they were leaving money on the table. I got 1Passowrd originaly when I needed TOTP, and wanted something that was multi-device and secure, and certainly didn't want to host it myself. I don't know what else I'd use.

Enshittification strikes again. For a normal user, the software seems to be getting worse and more cumbersome, and the company seems to continue focusing solely on pushing business- and enterprise-centric features that I have no use for. They'd do well to offer a non-pro type subscription for users who don't want all of that. Instead, though, I and a lot of others will simply be canceling.

I've only been using it for a couple years, but I find it has gotten better not worse for me.

people are going to complain it wasn't subscription and that it was native.

Honestly, it's a really nice app. Most people don't care about that. My family finds it easy to use and the features are good.

Could I selfhost? Yes.

Would my family find that annoying?, Yes.

Could I use bitwarden? Yes.

My family would be annoyed at me migrating to another alternative if my argument is that I don't want to pay $1/month/year ($12/year).
