Bitwarden Doubled Their Price. I'd Already Left. Here's What You Missed. - ByteHaven - Where I ramble about bytes

Back in January, I was two days into setting up Vaultwarden when Bitwarden sent me their annual Data Privacy Week survey. What browser do you use? What email...

@ppb1701 1 password increased price recently too…
@pecet ahh didn't know, added a note they raised prices.

@ppb1701 Hi Patrick, and thanks for the feedback! Outside of the back-end you are using with the official clients, the individual plan is currently 1.65 /month or 19.80/year but we still offer one of the best free plans (no limits on passwords or devices), which includes access to the standalone Authenticator app.

On the communication side, we previously shared a blog & community post, and emails are sent out prior to renewal.

@bitwarden @ppb1701

Dang. Clearer communication would be good.

A few months ago, I had started migrating to Bitwarden but had to do a double take and abort the migration because you still can't sort by date!

Maybe focus on features people actually want.

Sorting Options (by date of modification, addition, last use etc.)

Dang. I had started migrating to Bitwarden cause I thought the UX was modern. Without something as simple as sorting entries, I am shocked by this lack of QoL feature.

@quaff @ppb1701 Thanks quaff, we've been working on implementing some community feature requests, such as the archive feature that rolled out recently, and I'll pass your sentiment to the team.
@bitwarden Thanks for the response! The post wasn't about the free plan — I was a paying customer who left on good terms. A blog post and a renewal email isn't the same as proactively telling customers their price is doubling. Even Netflix sends a clear 'your price is going up to $X on this date' email. That's considered the bare minimum now (in my opinion). You do have a great free plan though!
@ppb1701 Thanks Patrick, we've shared your feedback with the team.
@ppb1701 who needs bitwarden when there is vaulnwarden
no surprise they doubled price, probably everyone was using vaulnwarden already for free and they had to make these 2.5 people who still used bitwarden to pay more so thay could at least try to stay profitable💯
@ppb1701 I no longer use Bitwarden but I’ve always held them in high regard. Sad to see them behaving like BigTech with these dark patterns and opaque pricing increases. This is behavior I’d expect from LastPass, not Bitwarden.
