About Psono

Psono is a password manager aimed at companies that want to host their own vault. Data is encrypted on the client before it reaches the server, and teams can share folders and secrets with fine-grained rights, use API keys for automation, and store files. You can run the server yourself on Linux with Docker or use the hosted SaaS version. All business features are free for up to ten users, so small teams can self-host the full product at no cost, while larger organisations pay for an Enterprise Edition with features such as LDAP, SAML and OIDC single sign-on and audit logging. Browser extensions and mobile apps cover daily use. It suits small and mid-sized companies, especially in Europe, that want a self-hosted team vault.

Best for: Small and mid-sized companies that want a self-hosted, open-source team vault.
