The Verdict
1Password is built for families and teams, with a focus on password-vault and autofill. Tines targets security teams and soc analysts and leads with workflow-automation and alert-triage.
Tines uses custom enterprise pricing, while 1Password starts at $2.99/mo — a tangible advantage for teams with a fixed budget.
Tines has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. 1Password requires a paid subscription from day one.
