Source code access, and being free of charge seems to be the main things you would get compared to 1Password. Also, great Linux support (from what I've heard 1Password only recently even added a Linux-compatible client).

But to me it sounds like you have a solution you are very happy with, and you don't mind paying for that solution, so my recommendation would be to stick with it.

Although, as a happy user of KeePassXC, I'm tempted to ask the counter-question: why would I want to pay for 1Password when KeePassXC gives me a great solution for free (and also gives me source code access)?

Good question. I can't think of compelling reasons why a standalone user, or a small team, would switch to 1Password if they're already happy with KeePassXC.

I did that switch after using Keepass(XC) for about 10 years. For me it was for the seamless sync across devices, and nicer polish of the various apps/addons (iOS, Firefox, etc).

Just plugins for Firefox and Chrome, AFAIK, actually. And a command line client that's just a wrapper for the website. No full-featured client available. KeePassXC can be a better option for interop with 1pass than 1pass is, on Linux, depending on what you need.

There is also a hybrid client[1][2] now, written in Rust, and Electron. Although the command-line client will always be my favourite, as I always have a terminal window open anyway, at least those who dislike the command-line or prefer a GUI client have another option now.

No, they have a client now. https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/114964/1passwor...

Guess that hasn't made it to their "download for linux" page on the main site yet. It still offers the plugins, with an alternate option for the command line tools.

They are also very responsive on Github for logged issues and questions. They responded within the hour to an update to an existing issue that I logged.
