Our verdict
KeePass is the uncompromising veteran: completely free, endlessly extensible, but syncing, mobile, and browser integration are all DIY. Enpass takes the same principle, your vault in your own storage, and wraps it in a modern, user-friendly manager with apps for every platform and an affordable license (even a one-time lifetime option). For self-custody without the tinkering, Enpass wins; KeePass remains the purist's toy.
“Your vault lives in your own cloud or on your device, not on company servers, and the desktop version is free. The middle road between KeePass control and modern convenience.”Editorial team, on Enpass
“Maximum control: your vault stays on your own computer and everything is open source. Sync and backups are on you, so this one is for technical users.”Editorial team, on KeePass
