Lead with the cost answer: Bitwarden Free costs $0 with no card and does not automatically convert to paid; 1Password has a 14-day trial and no permanent personal free tier. Include a source-backed comparison table for Bitwarden Free, Bitwarden Premium, Bitwarden Families, 1Password Individual, and 1Password Families with cost today, annual price before tax, trial or free duration, payment requirement, users, sharing, key paid feature, renewal, cancellation owner, and important limitation. State Bitwarden's current $19.80 Premium and $47.88 Families annual prices and the 14-day paid-organization trial. State 1Password's current new-customer first-year annual-billing promotion at $2.99 monthly equivalent for Individual and $4.49 for Families, equal to $35.88 and $53.88 annualized, beside the regular $3.99 and $5.99 monthly equivalents, equal to $47.88 and $71.88 annualized. Explain that the 1Password promotion is for the first year with annual billing and checkout controls the actual charge and renewal. Compare the exact free-plan, premium, user-count, and sharing limits without making a security-quality ranking. Give direct cancellation steps and consequences for 1Password direct, Apple, Google, Bitwarden Premium, and Bitwarden Families, including 1Password's frozen-account outcome, Bitwarden's Premium-to-Free reversion, organization access limits, and Bitwarden's current 30-day Premium refund rule. Give a safe 1Password-to-Bitwarden migration checklist using 1PUX where possible, warn that 1Password exports are plaintext, explain CSV field limits and Bitwarden duplicate behavior, verify data before cancellation, and delete the export after use.
