Pricing: free tier vs trial-only
The biggest practical difference is the entry price. 1Password has no free plan — after the 14-day trial you pay from $2.99/month (billed annually) for Individual or $4.49/month for Families.
DroidPass is free to start: store your most important logins, use one live 2FA code, import from your old manager, and sync across unlimited devices without paying. When you outgrow the free tier, DroidPass Pro is $17.99/year on Google Play and $29.99/year on the App Store, for unlimited items, unlimited authenticator codes, cloud backup, and the password security audit — slightly cheaper than 1Password's individual plan.
Security: how each protects your vault
Both apps encrypt your vault with AES-256 on the device before anything is stored or synced. 1Password adds a device-bound Secret Key on top of your master password. DroidPass protects your vault with your master credentials plus biometric unlock (Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint), auto-lock, and screenshot prevention on Android.
