If you live with an Apple-only pw manager, I really like https://minimalistpassword.com . No separate account needed (syncs through iCloud), uses the system password autofill, no Safari extension or weird permissions.

Bitwarden is incredibly clunky IMO. Not worth it. Yes it is cheap, but you get what you pay for.

For a cross platform solution, I think KeePass-based pw managers are great. Create a database, set up sync however, and just us a KeePass-style app on each device. The beauty is that it's only the database that matters, so switching between apps is pretty painless, and they can't hold your data hostage.
