It still says "Always free" on the website for me. It's both on the billing page on the page linked in the article.

I do share the concerns though. The change in leadership, the poor transparency, 100% price increase and the quiet change in core values.

I was happy paying $10 yearly for Bitwarden. I'm still okay with $20 but there's a seed of doubt.

Just went to the website directly: says "Get Started Free". "Always Free" is only present at the bottom of the pricing page for personal customers.

What concerns me more is that they've started using the same language that Adobe had been panned for: "$price a month, billed yearly".

To me, thats weird language for a product that (now) costs $20.00 a year. Not hundreds or thousands. Twenty dollars. For non-enterprise users.

The lack of transparency and quietly changing things around makes me wary.

		The placement at the bottom of pricing is always where it was. Nothing has changed They did raise the price to $20 (but the free version is still amazing). But that’s still really cheap and pretty much all services have gone up in price in the past 10 years (inflation)

They mentioned in an update that they accidentally removed “always free” text during a website update and put it back quickly. Seems the article was written in the intervening period
