Bitwarden’s $10/year premium service includes many of the password monitoring services Dashlane charges considerably more for, plus the same 1 GB allotment for encrypted file storage. Putting Dashlane and Bitwarden side-by-side is, without a doubt, a clash of titans. Each one offers a comprehensive password manager and, although some aspects differ, both are reliable pieces of software that will secure more than just your account credentials.

1. Security & Encryption

It’s critical for a password manager to store and transmit information securely, to provide multifactor authentication — or at the very least the option for two-factor authentication — to further impede hacking attempts and to encrypt data in ways that can’t be decrypted even with brute-force cryptanalytic attacks. Modern security practices should also, ideally, include third-party security audits.

2. App Compatibility

We looked for whether each app provides broad-based compatibility with multiple devices, browsers, and operating systems. The best password managers should run as seamlessly as possible on any device, should be able to synchronize data between unlimited numbers of devices and should work with the broadest possible range of mobile, desktop and laptop operating systems as well as the most popular web browsers.

3. Ease of Setup & Use

A high-quality password manager should be painless to set up and intuitive to use. The less time you have to spend working out how the software accomplishes certain tasks, the more time you can spend actively securing your passwords, and time is money for businesses and families alike. An up-to-date password manager should also offer the convenience of biometric logins for your smartphone.

4. Password Sharing

There are times when it’s necessary to share passwords between certain users. We looked at the tools each application provides for doing this as securely as possible, the features they provide for controlling this kind of access, the tiers of service at which each of them allows sharing with multiple or unlimited users and any particularly useful aspects of each solution’s approach to password sharing.

5. Pricing

We looked carefully at what each password manager provides for password storage and other key resources at paid tiers of service, whether they provide a functional free version (and if so, how functional that free version is) and overall value-for-money.

That’s the end of the post. You can go home, now.

If you want a further breakdown, consider these points:

Security, most important, most overlooked

Dashlane Vs Bitwarden 2020

From a pure security standpoint, it’s a toss-up between Dashlane and Bitwarden. Both offer best-in-class security, so your passwords are safe on both.

Bitwarden offers 2FA auditing at the organization level for business users, while Dashlane does not. Enforcing is on the roadmap.

I would add that Bitwarden can offer a little more peace of mind for two reasons:

1. It’s open source.

A great many of you just sighed, but it being open source means it can be checked constantly for issues. The source for all their software is here.

This also means that if Bitwarden doesn’t have a feature you like, or something works in a way you don’t like, you can just change it.

2. It’s self-hostable.

Some hacker is far more likely to attack the behemoth that is Dashlane with it’s millions of user passwords, than they are to attack your little server with your 1000 passwords (at best). This also means that you are in control of your data, which is good news for the tin-foil hat wearers out there.

You can even get Bitwarden’s paid features for the price of hosting your server by following this guide

Nobody cares about security, though, right? So let’s move on to the good stuff:

Features, the good stuff (also price)

Bitwarden offers every feature Dashlane does with loads more on top of those, and more of them for free. It’s paid version is also cheaper than Dashlane’s.

Here’s a table I stole, that compares both service’s features:

Note 1: In work profile apps Bitwarden might not pop up a dialog automatically inviting you to auto-fill, but it’ll display a notification you can tap to do it.

Note 2: CLI allows individual attachments to be exported. The user would have to write a script to iterate through and export all of them.

Note 3: On the product roadmap, not yet implemented as of writing (Click to see the feature request)
