Our verdict on Keeper Security
Keeper Security does not publish its prices. The vendor's pricing page shows no numbers, and third-party sources conflict: one says Business Starter is $2 per user per month, another says it starts at $7 per month billed annually as a flat fee. Starter is aimed at 5 to 10 users, and billing is annual only. There is a free trial, but no free plan.
The bigger cost issue is predictability. SSO/SAML and SCIM sit on the Enterprise plan. Reporting, session management, SIEM and credential rotation are paid add-ons with no published prices, and reviewers say add-ons make the total hard to predict. G2 shows 4.6 from 1,179 reviews. Ask for itemized add-on prices in the quote so you can compare it with a priced competitor.
