1Password is way better, but it's more expensive and not open source.
Bitwarden is, like most open source apps, jankier than 1Password. Not as mature. But people that care a lot about their software being open source will use it because it's the best open source option we have at the moment.
None of them is a bad app.
More expensive and closed source
vs
free or cheaper subscription, can even be self hosted and open source
I'll pick the later
Yes, each one with their choices. I have the income to pay for better quality, so I use 1Password. But you can't go wrong with any of those two.
"Way better" is an exaggeration in my mind. It may have a few nicer things here and there, but name one thing 1Pass can do that Bitwarden can't? It certainly has a different UI, but I definitely preferred this over my former LastPass account.
This “what can one do that the other can’t” is never a good argument. Specially against someone that was talking about quality.
A horse and a 2023 Lamborghini can do the same things, transport-wise. But that doesn’t mean that the quality is the same.
