IMO Keepass and Bitwarden aren't exactly the same, as the latter has cross-device sync built-in.
I use one for work and the other for personal. They are both great, with slightly different convenience/security tradeoffs imo. Big fan of both, don't know why it has to be one or the other for an OSS credentials manager
Edit: part of what you're paying for with BW is first-class native apps
20 bucks are kind of a reason tho?
It is a reason, and a fine one. I certainly don't pay for a subscription for my work stuff. I've told them we should have enterprise secrets management and shown them what that looks like. Not my problem anymore, and I have KeePassXC to handle everything I'm responsible for for work
On an individual level, you only need one or the other. But which one is best for you may be different than which one is best for me.
