Verdict:Leave RoboForm if you need more than one device on the free plan, or if you want password storage that lives on your own disk. RoboForm's free plan covers a single device, and Premium is listed at $2.49 a month billed annually. For a free multi-device option, Proton Pass gives unlimited devices with 2 vaults, and Bitwarden's Premium at $1.65 a month is the lowest listed paid tier among these. If you want no vendor at all, KeePassXC keeps an encrypted file under your control, at the cost of managing backups and any sync yourself. LastPass Free fits one device type only, so it solves the cost problem but not the device problem. The main trade-off is convenience: hosted apps sync across devices for you, while the local file route asks you to keep your own backups. Check which device count you need before choosing, because the free tiers differ mostly on that point.
