Keeper Security Review (2026)$2-$6 Per User, Add-Ons Extra
By Daan Haket · Tested hands-on · written with an AI assistant · who does what
The per-user price is the smallest part of the bill.
teams that need shared credentials with real admin control and audit, and that will genuinely use the provisioning and role-based access that separate this from a consumer password manager.
you are under five people wanting a shared vault, since Business Starter is scoped at 5-10 users and Keeper's own Personal plan at $42.99 a year, or Family at $91.99, covers that case for less.

Tested by our team on 31 October 2026 on the 14-day business trial: Daan created the account and our AI assistant ran the test in Daan's browser. We stored two made-up, non-secret notes in the web vault, each with custom fields and a file attachment, then exported the vault.
How we tested
- Created two made-up secure notes with custom fields and an attachment
- Exported the vault as CSV and JSON
- Downloaded one attachment and compared its checksum
- The business trial showed 14 days, with no card.
- The admin console and the web vault each needed their own login, and a new browser tab asked to log in again.
- Custom fields take your own label, but there is no number, currency or tag field; we stored amounts and tags as text.
Pricing (2026)
✓ Pricing re-verified 4 Oct 2026
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Business Starter | $2.00 per user per month ($24 a year) | protection for 5-10 users |
| Business | $4.00 per user per month ($48 a year) | — |
| Enterprise | $6.00 per user per month ($72 a year) | sold through Request a Quote |
| Personal (Keeper Unlimited) | $42.99 billed annually | — |
| Family | $91.99 billed annually | — |
Summarised from the pricing notes below; the notes carry the conditions.
Three business tiers, all billed annually: Business Starter at $2.00 per user per month ($24 a year), described as protection for 5-10 users; Business at $4.00 per user per month ($48 a year); Enterprise at $6.00 per user per month ($72 a year), sold through Request a Quote. The amounts are injected by script, so a page fetched without rendering shows the tiers with the figures missing.
Personal and family plans are priced on their own page: Personal (Keeper Unlimited) $42.99 billed annually and Family $91.99 billed annually. CURRENCY WARNING, corrected 2026-09-17: the same pages served to a Dutch visitor carry a different euro list, not a conversion of the dollar one — Business Starter €2.00 and Business €4.00 match, but Enterprise is €5.50 against $6.00, Personal €52.02 against $42.99 and Family €111.31 against $91.99.
Full pricing notes (2 more paragraphs)
The dossier previously carried those last two euro figures as dollar amounts. Re-read 4 October 2026, the checkout data behind the personal page explains that gap: for a Dutch visitor it flags prices as VAT-inclusive and shows 52.02 and 111.31 even with USD selected, which are exactly $42.99 and $91.99 plus 21% Dutch VAT. The same data gives the business seats as $48 and $72 a year, without that uplift.
The add-ons carry their own list, also in US dollars: BreachWatch and KeeperChat $24 per user per year (€22 on the euro list), Advanced Reporting & Alerts and Compliance Reports $12 per user per year (€11), Endpoint Privilege Manager $36 per endpoint per year, Secure File Storage from $132 per year for 100GB (€108), Professional Services from $270 per year, with Connection Manager and Keeper Secrets Manager priced only on request.

What the price did
We capture Keeper Security’s own pricing page every month and keep the figures, so this is our record of the page — not a forecast, and not someone else’s summary.
Three dated readings of the US list, no movement. On 6 September, 17 September and 4 October 2026 Business Starter, Business and Enterprise read $2.00, $4.00 and $6.00 per user per month billed annually, Personal $42.99 and Family $91.99 a year, and the add-ons BreachWatch and KeeperChat $24 and reporting and compliance $12 per user per year, Endpoint Privilege Manager $36 per endpoint, Secure File Storage from $132.
The honest knock
Read the add-ons page next to the plan page and the shape becomes clear: BreachWatch and KeeperChat are $24 per user per year each, Advanced Reporting & Alerts and Compliance Reports $12 per user per year each, endpoint privilege management $36 per endpoint per year — so a Business seat at $4.00 a month can quietly double once you add the monitoring and reporting most buyers assume is included, and Connection Manager and Secrets Manager are not even priced.
Annual billing is stated on every tier, so there is no month-to-month option to test with, and Business Starter is scoped at 5–10 users. Ask for the base plan and each add-on you need as separate lines, because a bundled quote here hides which part is actually costing you.

What buyers report about Keeper Security
Hands-on: tested 2026-10-31Reported by buyers: G2, Capterra, Trustpilot and security-press reviews, read August 2026
Themes from the buyer-review sites listed at the foot of this page, read in August 2026. We tested Keeper Security ourselves on 2026-10-31, but one test is a narrow sample, so here is what other buyers report. We summarise it here because the complaints are usually the part a vendor page leaves out.
- • 256-bit AES with a strict zero-knowledge model, never breached, and third-party security audits published regularly. That is the record you want from a password manager.
- • One of the most feature-rich options available, and easy to use with it.
- • Auto-renewal is the recurring complaint: reviewers report being charged before the renewal date, and at least one reports it renewing again after they had switched auto-renewal off.
- • There is no money-back guarantee and no refunds. Combined with the renewal behaviour above, that is the thing to manage.
- • Breach scanning and secure file storage are paid add-ons rather than included — unusual in a security-first package.
- • Pricing and discounting have shifted over time, making renewal quotes hard to reconcile with what you were originally told.

When the paid plan is worth it
Keeper's business page does publish per-user prices — $2.00, $4.00 and $6.00 per user per month, all billed annually — but the figures are rendered client-side, so they are invisible to anything that reads the page without running its scripts. What the tiers buy is a question of boundaries. Business Starter is stated as protection for 5–10 users and covers the encrypted vault, admin console, sharing and autofill. Business adds shared team folders, delegated administration, advanced organisational structure and integrations, and a free Family Plan for every user.
Enterprise is where provisioning lives: SCIM, AD/LDAP and SSO/SAML, advanced two-factor, role-based access control and developer APIs, and it is the one tier routed through sales rather than a checkout. What no upgrade folds in is the security posture the product pages advertise. Endpoint Privilege Manager, BreachWatch, Secure File Storage, Connection Manager, Secrets Manager, Advanced Reporting & Alerts, Compliance Reports, KeeperChat and Professional Services are all sold from a separate add-ons page, and two of them — Connection Manager and Secrets Manager — are quote-only there. Every tier is billed annually, so there is no monthly option to test with.
What we found running Keeper Security ourselves
The first findings are at the top of this page. The rest:
- The vault export offers CSV, JSON, PDF and KDBX. Keeper states it contains the full record content but no file attachments.
- Both exports kept our titles with accents, the multi-line note and every custom field. Neither included Keeper's own record ID.
- The CSV has no header row and uses the interface language for field names; the JSON stores dates as a timestamp of local midnight.
- The export file is not encrypted.
- Each attachment downloads separately from its record; ours came back byte-for-byte identical.
Claim vs. what we measured
We set a claim from Keeper Security's own pages next to what we saw in our test, on the plan named. The status says whether the two describe the same thing and match; it is not a verdict on the product. Confirmations are listed too.

Exit test: can you take your data out?
Two synthetic Secure note records entered manually, with dates, separate custom text fields and attachments. Test date: 31 Oct 2026. We describe the friction rather than score it; this is one run with synthetic records, not a verdict on Keeper Security.
| What we checked | What we saw |
|---|---|
| Came along in the export |
|
| Lost in the export |
|
| Awkward but not lost | The console and Web Vault used separate sessions per tab; a new tab required login again. Secure notes are masked by default. Amount and tags were custom text fields, so numeric and tag semantics changed despite exact strings. CSV has no header and uses Dutch UI labels. JSON dates encode local midnight as epoch-ms: 24 October is 23 October at 22:00 UTC; 25 October is 24 October at 22:00 UTC. No Keeper UID appears in these exports. File attachments are excluded from vault export; the separate AIBM-002 file download matches the kit bytes exactly. |
| Export route | Web Vault > Settings > Export; direct file download, without mail. |
| Export format | CSV, JSON, PDF and KDBX offered. CSV and JSON inspected: unencrypted; CSV UTF-8 without BOM, LF, no header, Dutch label/value pairs. PDF and KDBX not downloaded. |
| Re-importing the export | Import settings seen but no reimport performed; these exports supply no Keeper record UID. |
| Cancelling | Cancellation, expiry, deletion and downgrade not tested. |
What the exit test does not show:
- Full signup screen count and human setup speed.
- Checkout, roles policy, API access and downgrade.
- Support, invitations, reimport and separate first-file download.
- PDF/KDBX output contents, cancellation and deletion.
- nullable_text and active were not entered.

How to actually use Keeper Security
The trial is the way in and it is fully functional. Their guide sends you to the business trial sign-up or Try it Free on the homepage, then asks for a business email address. Two choices made at sign-up are hard to undo. First the data centre: US, EU, AU, CA and JP are offered, with US GovCloud on request, and the documentation says that picking the wrong region means contacting support to delete the trial and start again.
Second the administrator master password: because of the zero-knowledge architecture, Keeper support cannot reset it, so the guide recommends turning on Account Recovery with a recovery phrase from the Settings screen straight after logging in. After verifying the email you land in the Admin Console, where Add Users invites the rest of the team or additional administrators, each of whom sets their own master password.
Where this section comes from: our research notes (153 words)
Vendor business pricing page (keepersecurity.com/pricing/business-and-enterprise.html), the personal and family page (/pricing/personal-and-family.html) and the add-ons page (/pricing/business-add-ons/), all read rendered on 6 September 2026; plus the vendor Enterprise Guide, including its Start Your Trial page in machine-readable form (docs.keeper.io/enterprise-guide/start-free-trial.md), read 18 August 2026. The plan amounts are written into the page by script: an earlier reading on 18 August 2026 fetched the page without rendering and reported, wrongly, that Keeper prices nothing.
All three pricing pages re-read rendered on 4 October 2026: business $2.00/$4.00/$6.00, add-ons $24/$24/$12/$12/$36/$132/$270 unchanged; the checkout_api_web data behind the personal page flags pricesIncludeVAT for a Dutch connection (unlimitedPlanCost 52.02, familyPlanCost 111.31 = $42.99 and $91.99 plus 21% VAT; businessUserCost 48, enterpriseUserCost 72). Keeper Enterprise Guide pages Subscriptions (docs.keeper.io/enterprise-guide/subscriptions.md) and Account Transfer Policy (docs.keeper.io/enterprise-guide/account-transfer-policy.md) read 21 October 2026. The business price amounts were not re-read that day: they are still injected by script, and the served HTML carries only empty price slots.
Keeper Security vs 1Password, side by side
Each column shows the vendor’s own published entry price, read on the date shown. Entry prices can cover different services or units, so check what each one buys. We do not average them into a score.
The 1Password link above is an affiliate link — we may earn a commission if you sign up, at no extra cost to you — and the other column is a plain link. Neither changes what this table says.
The natural comparison is 1Password or Bitwarden — the direct team password-manager comparison — both publish per-user prices, so use those as the anchor for Keeper's quote.
Frequently asked questions
Can you export your data from Keeper Security?
Exit check 2026-10-31; route excerpt: Web Vault > Settings > Export …; came along (excerpts): Both external test IDs returned / Notes and custom code kept / Unicode and calendar dates kept / One file downloaded byte-for-byte; lost (excerpts): Files absent from vault exports / Amount is text, not a number / Tags remain one text value; re-import: not tested.
What does Keeper cost per user?
Three business tiers, all billed annually, read on their business pricing page on 17 September and again on 4 October 2026: Business Starter $2.00 per user per month ($24 a year), Business $4.00 ($48), Enterprise $6.00 ($72) and sold through Request a Quote rather than a checkout. There is no month-to-month option on any tier, so there is nothing to test with short of the free trial. Two practical warnings. The figures are written into the page by script, so a fetch that does not run JavaScript reports that Keeper prices nothing — an easy way to conclude wrongly that this is a quote-only product. And the price list is regional, not converted: a Dutch visitor is served €2.00 and €4.00 on the first two tiers, matching the dollars, but €5.50 on Enterprise against $6.00. Check which list you are looking at before you budget.
What is not included in the per-user price?
Most of the security posture the product pages advertise, and it is sold from a separate add-ons page. Read on 17 September and 4 October 2026, in US dollars: BreachWatch $24 per user per year, KeeperChat $24 per user per year, Advanced Reporting & Alerts $12 per user per year, Compliance Reports $12 per user per year, Endpoint Privilege Manager $36 per endpoint per year, Secure File Storage from $132 a year for 100GB, Professional Services from $270 a year. Connection Manager and Keeper Secrets Manager are not priced at all — both read “Request a Quote”. Do the arithmetic before you compare: a Business seat at $4.00 a month is $48 a year, and adding dark-web monitoring plus reporting plus compliance takes it to $96 — double, for three things many buyers assume are in the plan. Ask for the base plan and each add-on as separate lines.
Is a business plan right for a two-person team?
Probably not, and Keeper's own scoping says so. Business Starter is described on the pricing page as protection for 5-10 users, read 17 September 2026, so a pair is below the band the tier is sold for. Their consumer plans cover the same job for less: Personal (Keeper Unlimited) at $42.99 billed annually and Family at $91.99 billed annually, both US list prices; a Dutch visitor is shown 52.02 and 111.31, the same prices with 21% VAT included. What you give up by going that route is the reason the business tiers exist — the admin console, delegated administration, shared team folders, audit and, at Enterprise, SCIM, AD/LDAP and SSO/SAML provisioning and role-based access control. If the need is genuinely a shared vault between two people, the Family plan is the cheaper honest answer. Note also that the Business tier includes a free Family plan for every user, which changes the arithmetic once you are actually at five people.
What happens when a Business Starter team grows past 10 users?
Keeper moves you up automatically. The Enterprise Guide page Subscriptions, read 21 October 2026, says that if you are on Business Starter and your total user count exceeds 10, the plan is automatically updated to Keeper Business and per-user pricing is adjusted accordingly. On our last price reading (4 October 2026) that is the step from $2.00 to $4.00 per user per month, billed annually. Licences added mid-term show a prorated amount before you confirm. Buying inside the Admin Console needs a root admin or an admin with the Billing Admin permission and a card on file; accounts that pay by SEPA or purchase order, and trial accounts, go through the external checkout.
Can we recover a departing employee's vault?
Only if you set it up before they leave. The Enterprise Guide page Account Transfer Policy, read 21 October 2026: an administrator can transfer a departed user's whole vault to another user, but the Transfer Account permission must be enabled on the admin role, the transfer policy enabled on the user's role, and the user must have logged in and accepted the transfer consent beforehand; users get 7 days, after which they must accept to log in. The vault is locked, its contents moved and the account deleted, and the admin does not get ongoing access to it. Configure this during rollout, because a transfer requires that earlier consent.
Is this a hands-on review of Keeper Security?
Yes. We tested Keeper Security ourselves on 2026-10-31; the section above says what we tested, what we found and what we did not test, and where a figure comes from the vendor's own documentation instead. Most of our reviews are researched rather than run; we say which is which. We name what each tool is good and bad at, and we have no affiliate relationship with Keeper Security — we earn nothing whether you sign up or not.
