About Password managers and identity
Password manager and identity pricing has a clear cost gradient. Consumer password managers (1Password Personal, Dashlane) anchor the cheap end at 3-5 USD per seat per month. Business password managers (1Password Business, Bitwarden Teams) sit in the middle at 6-8 USD per seat per month. IAM / SSO platforms (Okta, JumpCloud, Rippling IT) sit at the top at 8-25 USD per seat per month for the SSO + MFA bundle. The pages below cover all three layers; the dominant cost surprise is on Okta, where the per-product line item (SSO + MFA + Lifecycle Management + Adaptive MFA + Identity Governance) compounds — a full Okta deployment routinely lands 15-35 USD per seat per month all-in.

Frequently asked questions
Is 1Password or Bitwarden cheaper for a 25-person team?
1Password Business is 7.99 USD per user per month annual, so 25 seats is 200 USD per month. Bitwarden Teams is 4 USD per user per month annual, so 25 seats is 100 USD per month. Bitwarden Enterprise (with SSO + directory sync) is 6 USD per user per month annual. Bitwarden is roughly half the per-seat list at every team size; 1Password differentiates on UI polish and on the developer-focused features (1Password CLI, SSH agent, Items API).
What does Okta actually cost for a 50-person company?
Okta Workforce Identity SSO is 2 USD per user per month annual base, with 5,000 USD per year minimum (so realistic for companies above 200 employees). Okta MFA is 3 USD per user per month annual. Adaptive MFA is 6 USD per user per month annual. Lifecycle Management is 4 USD per user per month annual. Identity Governance is 9 USD per user per month annual. A 50-person company with the SSO + Adaptive MFA + Lifecycle Management bundle lands around 13 USD per user per month all-in, or 650 USD per month for 50 seats.
Is JumpCloud cheaper than Okta?
JumpCloud's pricing model is platform-bundled rather than per-product. JumpCloud A La Carte is 11 USD per user per month annual for the SSO module; the Platform tier (15 USD per user per month annual) bundles SSO + MFA + Cloud Directory + Device Management. For most growth-stage companies the JumpCloud Platform tier is cheaper than the equivalent Okta SSO + MFA + Lifecycle Management bundle, especially when the device-management capability replaces a separate Kandji / Jamf / Intune line item.
