The Quiet Renovation at Bitwarden
The Quiet Renovation at Bitwarden
Back in March, I wrote about Bitwarden doubling their Premium price — and specifically how they did it. Buried in a feature announcement. Priced in fake monthly increments for a product that has never once offered monthly billing. Communicated to existing customers fifteen days before their renewal, not before.
Note
ive been using vaultwarden for a long time. the lead developer now works for bitwarden. gotta wonder how they are thinking about this.
the predictions of this blog sit on a mountain of historical supporting evidence from other previoulsy open source companies. (cough cough, cal.com)
i for one am not looking forward to migrating, but i will if i must.
for now: HOLD
