Common questions about Bitwarden, answered from independent, dated evidence.

A zero-knowledge encrypted platform for storing, sharing, and managing passwords, passkeys, and secrets. Supports self-hosting and includes enterprise features like SSO, SCIM provisioning, and centralized administration. It is indexed under Password Managers.
Is Bitwarden free?
Bitwarden offers a free tier, so you can start without paying. Paid plans start at $4 per user per month. Prices are published openly on the vendor's own pricing page. Pricing changes often, so verify at source before relying on it.
What platforms does Bitwarden support?
Bitwarden supports the web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and a command-line interface. Platforms we have not confirmed are simply not listed here rather than ruled out.
Can Bitwarden be self-hosted?
Yes. Bitwarden can be deployed cloud / SaaS, hybrid, on-premise and self-hosted, so it does not have to run on the vendor's infrastructure.
What does Bitwarden integrate with?
We have confirmed 43 integrations for Bitwarden, including AWS, Microsoft Entra ID, Duo, Auth0, Google, Okta, Rippling and PingFederate, plus 35 more. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.
What security certifications does Bitwarden have?
We have independently confirmed SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and GDPR for Bitwarden. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Bitwarden not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Bitwarden, not the verdict.
