As far as I know, 1Password does not have a free tier.

  They used to have a paid tier where you just pay for the software outright and use it offline. They have been making it harder and harder to find every release, so it may not exist anymore.

  Mostly true, though this may be of interest: https://github.com/1Password/1password-teams-open-source https://github.com/1Password/1password-teams-open-source :) - Ben, 1Password

If history is any indicator, they will say it’s not subscription only while simultaneously leaving all the docs and kb articles on their website in a state that makes it sound like it’s subscription only. They don’t really want non-subscription customers, but they don’t want to say that outright. This has been clear for years and is the reason I’ve given up despite thinking their (non-subscription) product is worth the money. It just feels like they are always on the verge of dropping support for it.

  Just use bitwarden. Open source and the only thing that you'd really want to pay the 10/year for is 2fa integration.

According to this forum post I just found[1], they are "no longer advertising" the non-subscription mode, and they apparently will not directly answer questions about whether it's still sold: >> "We're no longer advertising standalone licenses" Does that mean "We're no longer offering standalone licenses"? > Membership [aka subscription-based] is the way forward with 1Password. It's really disappointing that their communication is so transparently evasive on this point.

  We continue to sell licenses for each 1Password 7 for Mac and 1Password 7 for Windows. These licenses are available within the app when downloaded from our website. We would strongly recommend 1Password membership as that is going to provide the best experience, but if you’d prefer a license for one or both of those products they are for sale. We recommend memberships as they address a number of requests our customers had that we were unable to accommodate without connecting to a server to perform the heavy lifting, such as 2FA, sharing, etc. It also significantly simplifies the purchasing experience: a subscription includes access to the latest versions of all the 1Password apps.

    As a standalone license customer for almost 10 years now, the constant responses like this and the deliberate non-answers on the forums really make me wonder how long I will continue to use 1password. I love 1password but I will not put my passwords in someone else's cloud. It's honestly pretty insulting that every time this comes up, someone from 1password pops in to talk down to your customers and push subscriptions. I understand the business reasons of why you want subscription revenue, but pretending that you're pushing subscriptions for the good of your customer is just so transparently false. It's good for your bottom line, just own it.

      Indeed. Stuff like this: > We would strongly recommend 1Password membership as that is going to provide the best experience is maddening. Do you guys really think we all just don't know what is going to provide the best experience? Because what will provide me the best experience is keeping it simple, not taking on an online dependency, and keep putting out standalone updates and platform ports, which I'd gladly pay for. The condescension, evasiveness and dishonesty is just sad.

Yes, 1Password for Linux requires a 1Password membership. You can subscribe to any of our individual, family, or team accounts yourself, or if your company subscribes to 1Password Business you'll get your own family account for free. Regardless of how you subscribe you'll always have access to your data as each client has a local cache for offline use and your account remains active even in the event your subscription lapses. If you have any questions or feedback please feel free to reach out to us directly at support+linux@1password.com - Ben, 1Password
