## The answer, as recorded

> # Best password managers for small businesses
> 
> **1. 1Password Business** (~$7.99/user/mo; Teams Starter ~$19.95/mo for up to 10 users) - My default recommendation for most small businesses. The thing that kills password manager rollouts is employees not actually using them, and 1Password has the best onboarding and day-to-day UX of the bunch. Strong admin controls, good Secrets Automation if you have developers.
> 
> **2. Bitwarden** (Teams $4/user/mo, Enterprise $6/user/mo) - Best value, and the one I'd pick if you're cost-sensitive or want open-source auditability. Enterprise gets you SSO + SCIM provisioning at a price 1Password charges for its base tier, plus the option to self-host. Slightly rougher UI, but functionally complete.
> 
> **3. Keeper Business** (from ~$3.75/user/mo) - The pick if you're in a regulated industry (healthcare, finance, government contracting). Best-in-class compliance reporting and audit trails, FedRAMP authorized, and it slots in well if you're already standardized on Microsoft 365.
> 
> **4. NordPass Business** - Worth a look if you run on Google Workspace; SSO setup is unusually painless, and it's priced aggressively. Newer to the business market than the three
