Bitwarden Doubled Their Price. I'd Already Left. Here's What You Missed. Back in January, I was two days into setting up Vaultwarden when Bitwarden sent me their annual Data Privacy Week survey. What browser do you use? What email service? What VPN? What are your concerns about AI and your data? I filled it out. Checked every box about keeping AI away from my personal data. Sent it in. Went back to configuring my self-hosted instance. The irony wasn't lost on me — a password manager asking how I feel about AI and data privacy, while I was in the middle of moving my passwords off their servers entirely. Six days later, on January 21st, they doubled their Premium price. I found out about it recently — because someone sent me a Fast Company article from February 1st. Which itself took eleven days after the announcement for anyone to even notice it was worth writing about. That tells you everything about how quietly this was done. ## What Actually Happened Bitwarden's Premium plan went from $10/year to $19.80/year — their first price increase in ten years. The announcement was a blog post about new features — vault health alerts, password coaching, more attachment storage — with the price change mentioned almost as an afterthought. No dedicated email. No direct "hey, your price is doubling" communication to paying customers. I follow them on Mastodon and checked their Facebook — (yes, I know, Facebook, but when your local government refuses to use anything else for announcements, you end up keeping the account) — if they announced it on social, it wasn't given any prominence. Either it's not there or it's buried so deep it doesn't count as communication. Existing customers will find out 15 days before their renewal. Not in an email that says "your price is going from $10 to $19.80." In an email that says "$1.65/month, billed annually." Here's the thing — Bitwarden has never offered monthly billing. Not once in ten years. It has always been annual only. So if you're a paying customer who isn't paying close attention, that email looks less like a price hike and more like... taxes? A currency adjustment? Nothing to see here, auto-renew. That's not an accident. That's the design. ## My Situation Specifically I paid Bitwarden on the way out. Deliberately. I'd been a satisfied customer, I was leaving for my own reasons, and I wanted to say thank you — a coffee or two's worth of goodwill. I left on good terms. In return, as a recent paying customer, I received zero communication about the price doubling. I would have found out at renewal — nearly a year after the fact — via a deliberately confusing email that never actually states the annual price. I'd have been sitting there thinking "did they add taxes?" and probably just let it roll. I'm not angry about $20 a year. That's not crazy money for a password manager. But I am calling out the way this was done, because this is exactly the pattern I document in this series. ## The Pattern Bitwarden isn't Google or Apple. They're not a monopoly. But the playbook rhymes: * **Bury the bad news** — hide a price doubling inside a feature announcement * **Obscure the actual number** — list a monthly price for an annual-only product * **Minimize direct communication** — let customers find out at renewal, not upfront * **Bank on friction** — password manager migration is painful, most people won't bother That last one is the real bet. They know switching costs are high. They know most customers will grumble and auto-renew. And the communication strategy is specifically engineered to minimize the number of people who even grumble. I went from "on the fence about whether this was worth writing about" to "this is getting shady" in about ten minutes of looking at the details. When a company's pricing communication is specifically designed so customers don't notice what's happening — that's not a mistake. That's a choice. ## Why I'm Not Scrambling Here's what's different about my situation: I don't have to decide anything. The Vaultwarden instance has been running since mid-January. Browser extension, mobile app, desktop client. Zero issues. My passwords live on my server, not theirs. I'll be sunsetting my Bitwarden cloud presence soon. Not in anger — just tidying up. The cloud account was always going to be a temporary failsafe while I validated the setup. It's validated. Time to close the door properly. When the price hike landed, I wasn't scrambling. I was just watching, mildly interested, from somewhere they can no longer reach. That's the actual value of self-hosting. Not the features. Not the money saved. The fact that when a company does something you don't like, you're not stuck. ## What You Can Do Most people aren't going to self-host a password manager. That's fine. But if you're a Bitwarden Premium subscriber who just found out about this — especially _how_ it was communicated — you have options. Proton Pass and 1Password are both worth a look, and at their current pricing they're not dramatically more expensive than the new Bitwarden rate. And if you want to actually own your password data: here's how I did it. **Did you know about the Bitwarden price increase? Did you get a direct email about it? Find me on Mastodon at@ppb1701@ppb.social — because I didn't, and I'm genuinely curious how many paying customers are still in the dark.**

That's it. I'm deleting #Bitwarden. Don't know why but it doesn't have the correct password half the time. Contention issues between phone and desktop maybe??? I'm sick of going through the password reset dance - especially with f***ing Google.

Sip, berkat pakai combo #bitwarden dan #vaultwarden jadi bisa lepas dari google #passwordmanager.

Bukan karena enggan pakai password manager nya google, tapi lebih kearah enak ganti-ganti browser tapi password tetap sync. Apalagi juga ada sync #TOTP dan #passkey yang terintegrasi.
