1Password is one of the best known password managers for businesses and families, with apps on every major platform and end-to-end encryption protected by a Secret Key as well as your account password. Wizard Application includes a password vault too, but it sits inside the same workspace as your projects, customers, HR and help desk, and it is included on every plan.
If you are choosing between them, this guide sets out how they compare, where each one is strong, and which kind of business each suits best.
At a glance
| Wizard Application | 1Password | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Included on every plan, including the free Starter plan, with no separate vault licence | Business from $8.99 per user per month, or the Teams Starter Pack from $24.95 per month for up to 10 members, billed annually. Priced in US dollars, Canadian dollars or euros. |

| Encryption | AES-256-GCM with a key from your master password (PBKDF2-SHA256, 600,000 iterations). The master password is never stored. The browser extension decrypts on your device.

| Not included | No import tool, passkey storage, 2FA code generator, breach monitoring or emergency access yet | Not a business platform: projects, customers, HR and support run in other tools |
| Beyond passwords | CRM, recruitment, HR, projects, help desk, team chat, documents, time tracking and invoicing in the same workspace | Connects to identity providers such as Okta, Entra ID, OneLogin and Duo on Business |
Where 1Password is strong
1Password is polished and complete. It encrypts everything on your device with your account password and a Secret Key, has apps for Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android and extensions for every major browser, and stores passkeys and 2FA codes. Watchtower flags weak, reused and breached passwords, the Business plan connects to identity providers such as Okta, Entra ID, OneLogin and Duo, and there are developer tools for secrets in code. For a business that wants a dedicated, mature password manager, it is one of the strongest choices.
Where Wizard Application is different
- No separate bill. The password vault is part of Wizard Application on every plan, so you are not paying a password manager per user on top of the tools your team already uses.
- Credentials next to the work. Logins, API keys, SSH keys and database credentials sit in the same workspace as your projects, customers, help desk and HR.
- Built for technical teams too. Typed entries for SSH keys, environment variables, AWS, GitHub, tokens and databases keep developer secrets out of chat and shared documents.
- One login and one set of permissions. Your team signs in once, with two-factor authentication or passkeys, and the same role-based permissions control the vault and everything else. People joining or leaving are handled in one place.
- Fill logins in the browser. The browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox decrypt your vault on your device and fill a matching login in one click.
Where Wizard Application is behind
We would rather you choose with the full picture. A dedicated password manager does more today:
- Encryption model. Your entries are encrypted at rest and the master password is never stored, so a copy of our database on its own is unreadable. The browser extension decrypts only on your device. The web app, though, unlocks your vault on our servers while you use it, which dedicated password managers do not do. We are moving the web app to decrypt on your device too.
- Sharing. Sharing an entry with a teammate is being rebuilt so that every person has their own encryption keys.
- Fewer features. There is no import tool, passkey storage, 2FA code generator, breach monitoring, emergency access, Safari extension, desktop app or offline access yet, and the extension cannot save new logins.
Which should you choose
1Password may suit you better if password management is a security priority, you need passkeys, 2FA codes, breach alerts or identity provider integration, and your team works across many devices and browsers.
Wizard Application may suit you better if you want a straightforward team vault included with the software you run the business on, you are already paying for separate tools for projects, customers, HR and support, and you would rather have one platform and one bill.
Moving from 1Password
There is no import tool yet, so entries are added in the Wizard Application vault. Keep 1Password running while your team moves across, then export your 1Password data and store it securely before you close the account.
