I pay them for the family plan. Being able to share items with my wife and kids (particularly joint accounts) is extremely useful, and they do it without creating two classes of passwords (like LastPass, my previous vault).
BTW, the paid accounts provide TOTP code storage, more comprehensive password health reports, emergency vault access for others, hardware key support, someone to call with problems[0], and encrypted file sending.[0]
