I mean, it still is. It’s honestly gotten better too - for evidence, it’s the one password manager that never gets recommended by sponsored YouTubers but always gets recommended by non-sponsored YouTubers.
It depresses me that Bitwarden has also taken VC funding, just like 1Password. It’s still a great product but as with any VC product I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop when it’s revenue generation time.
I honestly don't think the password manager market could bear more than $3–5/mo for an individual user or family.
I used 1Password for years until they went from one-time payment to monthly sub and removed local sync so you could only use multiple devices by paying them. I think a big decision there was that they wanted $10/mo or something. I can't remember, but at the time it seemed ludicrous.
Years later, when my new laptop couldn't run the final local-sync version of 1Password, I finally decide to look into password managers again, and lo and behold $3/mo. I signed up immediately.
