The Verdict
1Password is built for families and teams, with a focus on password-vault and autofill. Okta targets enterprises and it teams and leads with single-sign-on and multi-factor-auth.
Both tools come in at similar price points ($2.99/mo for 1Password, $2/mo for Okta), so pricing won't make the decision for you.
Neither tool offers a free plan, so factor the subscription cost into your decision from the start.
Bottom line: 1Password has a slight overall edge — but if market leader in identity management matters most to you, Okta may still be the right call.
