Why Vaultiqo

Why Google Workspace teams pick Vaultiqo over Bitwarden

Built into Google Workspace

Google sign-in is not an Enterprise upgrade here, it is how everyone logs in from day one. No master passwords to set up, and the groups in your directory decide who sees what.

A price that does not grow with every hire

Bitwarden is billed per person, and SSO needs the Enterprise plan. Vaultiqo costs the same for a team of 11 or 50, and Growth Shield lets you go 20% over your plan limit before you need to upgrade.

Your data, your Google account

On the Pro plan, encrypted data and attachments live in your own Google Drive or Firestore project, without you having to run, patch and back up a server.

Vaultiqo is the better fit if

  • your company already runs on Google Workspace
  • you want Google sign-in without paying for an Enterprise tier
  • you would rather not hand everyone yet another master password
  • you want the vault in your own Google Drive or Firestore, without running servers

Bitwarden may suit you better if

  • you need a zero-knowledge vault that even the vendor cannot decrypt
  • you want open-source software you can self-host on your own servers
  • your team relies on native desktop and mobile apps

Questions

Frequently asked questions

It depends on team size and on whether you need SSO. Bitwarden Teams costs $4 per user per month and Enterprise, which adds SSO, $6, both billed annually: $1,200 or $1,800 a year for 25 people. Vaultiqo Team covers 11 to 50 people, Google sign-in included, for 390 € a year.

Yes. Export your vault from Bitwarden as a CSV file and import it into Vaultiqo. Imports from 1Password, LastPass, Dashlane or Chrome work the same way, and so does any other CSV.

Both encrypt your secrets with AES-256. The difference is the key model: Bitwarden is zero-knowledge and depends on each user’s master password, while Vaultiqo uses managed keys so your team can sign in with Google and admins can recover access. Our security overview explains the trade-off in detail.

With Vaultiqo Pro, encrypted data and attachments are stored in your own Google Drive or your own Firestore project, and you never have to run or patch a server. Metadata and keys are managed by Vaultiqo. If you need everything on your own servers, self-hosted Bitwarden is the right choice.
