Padloc vs Zoho Vault

Padloc is an open-source password manager that also handles notes, file storage, authentication, and secret sharing. It can hold passwords, credit cards, banking details, documents, and other sensitive information. Access is available through the web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox, with cloud synchronization. Shared vaults and organization controls let users set who may access, edit, or share data. Padloc says information is encrypted locally, is not stored or sent in plain text, and cannot be decrypted by the company; its security whitepaper describes AES in GCM mode. The free plan includes unlimited vault items and devices but excludes features such as MFA, shared vaults, and encrypted file storage. Premium starts at $3.49/mo, and a 30-day trial is offered. Users can self-host with the supplied documentation. Padloc says it cannot recover unencrypted data if a user loses the master password.
