why this verdict
Downgrade — pay for the workflow, not the AI
Bitwarden covers the headline feature free, so the $3/mo is now paying for the workflow around it.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- Trust, not AI, is what damaged this one. OpenAI, May 13, 2024 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers headline only editorial call
- The headline feature, but not the workflow, data or integrations around it.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 1 of 2 listed replacements have a usable free tier: Bitwarden.
- What the call is worth $36/yr
