§ Comparisons
How Apex compares.
Most password managers - including very good ones - keep an encrypted copy of your vault on a server so it can sync everywhere. Apex doesn't: the vault lives on your phone, and other devices receive one credential at a time, end-to-end encrypted and biometrically approved. These pages compare that model honestly with the alternatives, including where they're the better choice today.
Bitwarden
Open-source cloud password manager
Bitwarden is one of the most respected names in password management: open source, regularly audited, inexpensive, and available everywhere. If you want a cloud-synced vault, it is one of the best choices you can make.

Polished proprietary cloud password manager
1Password is arguably the most polished password manager on the market: excellent apps on every platform, thoughtful features like Watchtower, and a strong security record. Your vault is encrypted client-side and synced through 1Password’s cloud, protected by both your account password and a device-held Secret Key - a genuinely good design for a cloud service.

Proprietary cloud password manager
LastPass popularized password management: a cloud-stored, client-side-encrypted vault available from any browser. It remains a widely used product with a generous feature set.
Read the comparison → Apex vsKeePassXC
Open-source local password database
KeePassXC is the closest philosophical relative to Apex in this list. It is free, open source, and fully local: your passwords live in an encrypted .kdbx database file on your own disk, and no server is involved unless you add one.

E2EE cloud password manager from Proton
Proton Pass comes from Proton, the Swiss company behind Proton Mail, and inherits its strengths: end-to-end encryption, open-source clients, a privacy-first business model, and niceties like built-in email aliases.
