Verdict
Good engineering at a low price, held back by transparency. XChaCha20 with Argon2 is a defensible modern choice and the apps are pleasant, but a free plan limited to one active device is not a free password manager, and the absence of a dated audit page means the security claim rests on secondary reporting rather than a document you can read.
