## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-10 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> If I were recommending one to a small business, this is the order I'd give them in:
> 
> 1. **1Password (Teams Starter Pack or Business).** This is my default pick. It's the easiest for non-technical staff to learn, onboarding is smooth, and the admin controls are good. The Teams Starter Pack covers up to 10 users for a flat monthly price. Sources disagree on that price: 1Password's own page shows $24.95 a month and older reviews say $19.95. Business costs $8.99 per user per month and adds SSO integrations and Watchtower, which flags weak or leaked passwords.

> 2. **Bitwarden Teams.** This is the best value, and I'd pick it if cost or transparency matters most. It's $4 per user per month with no cap on users. Every user gets all the premium features, plus unlimited sharing, event logs and an admin API. It's open source and you can host it on your own servers, which appeals to more technical teams. The apps are a bit less polished than 1Password's. ([bitwarden.com/pricing/business](https://bitwarden.com/pricing/business/), [bitwarden.com/hel

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
