About security and backup tools

This category spans personal and business protection: password managers (Bitwarden, 1Password), cloud storage (Google Drive), privacy tools such as DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, VPNs like Surfshark, spam-call blocking (Hiya), device management for IT providers (NinjaOne) and enterprise security operations (Torq, Microsoft Security Copilot). Consumer tools cost a few dollars a month, with listed prices from $1.65/mo and a median of $9/mo, while enterprise products are usually quoted on request. 46 of the 107 tools have a free plan and 77 a free trial, and Google Drive holds the highest editorial score.

What to compare before you choose

Personal or organization-wide

Decide who you are protecting. Bitwarden, 1Password and Hiya are priced for individuals and families; Torq and Microsoft Security Copilot target enterprise SOC teams and are a poor fit for small security teams. NinjaOne charges per managed device, which suits IT providers looking after many endpoints.

Open source and data handling

If you need to audit the code, Bitwarden is open source, while our 1Password review flags it for open-source purists. Google Drive is convenient for Google Workspace users but not for privacy-first teams that want zero data scanning. Know where your data is stored and who can read it.

What the free tier covers

Free plans vary in depth: Bitwarden's free tier syncs across unlimited devices, Google Drive gives 15 GB, and DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials is free with no paid tier at all. Business features such as enterprise SSO usually sit on paid plans; Bitwarden's Enterprise plan is $6/user/mo.
