Buttercup vs Mitro: What are the differences?

Developers describe Buttercup as "Free and open source password manager for Windows/Mac/Linux". Buttercup is a cross-platform, free, and open source password manager based on NodeJS. On the other hand, Mitro is detailed as "Mitro saves all your passwords, synchronizes them across all your devices, and lets you share them with others". Mitro is the easiest way to remember & share passwords securely. It has extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, mobile apps for iOS and Android, and a server to perform the synchronization. Mitro automatically records your user names and passwords as you log in to new sites, offers to automatically log you into sites you've visited before, and allows you to securely share your passwords with your roommates, work team, or significant other.

Buttercup and Mitro can be primarily classified as "Password Management" tools.

Some of the features offered by Buttercup are:

  • Supports loading and saving credentials archives both locally and remotely. Remote archives can be stored in a variety of service providers like Dropbox, ownCloud and Nextcloud (and others that support WebDAV, such as Yandex)
  • Archives store groups and entries in a simple hierarchy. Both groups and entries can be moved into other groups. Deleted items are trashed before being removed permanently.
  • Basic merge conflict resolution when 2 changes are made at once on the file (locally or remote).

On the other hand, Mitro provides the following key features:

  • Open source
  • Extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, mobile apps for iOS and Android
  • Your passwords never leave your computer without being encrypted, so no one, not even Mitro, has access to them

Buttercup and Mitro are both open source tools. Buttercup with 2.87K GitHub stars and 201 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Mitro with 1.7K GitHub stars and 275 GitHub forks.
