In detail: Free plan removed from the Personal pricing card grid and feature-comparison table; now referenced only via a small 'Always free' CTA instead of a full priced plan card. Pulse files it as a packaging change (freemium change) with a neutral direction. The current page lists Premium at $1.65, Families at $3.99, Teams at $4 and Enterprise at $6.
It lands 81 days after Bitwarden's previous change, "Bitwarden Deprioritizes Free Tier, Pushes Premium as Default" (Apr 13, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Bitwarden Nearly Doubles Premium Price to $19.80/Year, Boosts Storage to 5 GB" (Apr 4, 2026). Bitwarden has been tracked since 2023-12-03.
