1Password
1Password — best overall for most people: its excellent day-to-day experience, mature cross-platform support, published security design, regular independent review, and an additional 128-bit Secret Key that materially strengthens vault protection make it my default paid recommendation.
ChatGPT
Sticky Password
Sticky Password: Developed by former AVG antivirus executives, it offers a rare lifetime license option and gives you the choice of cloud or strictly local Wi-Fi syncing.
Gemini
Where the models split.
Across the 1 category 1Password and Sticky Password both appear in, the models never break ranks: in each one, the same brand leads on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity alike.
No model runs against the grain here: each of the four ranks 1Password ahead at least as often as not, with Gemini the most lopsided.
