If you like the 1Password, I think you can still get a stand-alone license (no subscription) and to can store the keychain on the local machine. I think, not 100% sure.

did 1Password get rid of the non subscription license or is it merely well hidden?
I'm still on 1Password 6.8.9

I just use the built in Mac app. Never had a prob with it.

What are you referring to with "the built in Mac app"? Keychain?
If so, that really doesn't have the capabilities of apps like 1Password.
What other capabilities? Genuinely curious.

1. Ability to generate passwords
2. Ability to set characteristics of passwords generated: length, number of digits, number of characters
3. Show of the strength of passwords
4. General categories: passwords, logins, secure notes, credit cards, identities, software licenses, etc.
5. Security audits: weak passwords, duplicate passwords, age of passwords
6. Ability to group passwords in personalized folders for order and quicker access

That is a great answer. I've Never known why a Mac/iOS user would need beyond Keychain. Thanks for the enlightenment.

Standalone 1Password can sync via Dropbox, iCloud or both. I actually use both approaches since we have an older family vault in Dropbox we started before 1Password could share via iCloud, and use iCloud for my separate business and personal (non-family) password vaults.
...
I refuse to give my financial passwords to a company that gives their tool away for free (I do use Keychain a bit, but it's a part of the Apple ecosystem and you pay for it via the premium hardware you buy). You get what you pay for; if you are not paying for the software, you are being monetized in some other way. I think it's a mistake to assume such a freemium model is going to keep your key data safe; even if the company is playing ethically, they may not have the $$ to do so.

I've been using 1Password myself for some time now, but stopped upgrading at version 6.8.9 because I do NOT want my passwords stored on some developers servers, nor do I want to "subscribe" to it as a service.
3. Works across the user's devices, i.e. a Mac app that can sync with an iPhone app

uh, I don't get your logic. Just because you pay Apple for iCloud, doesn't make it any safer than somewhere like Dropbox. In both cases, your data is not in your possession.

It’s been so long since I bought 1Password standalone that I’ve forgotten if once you buy the initial license, companion apps for your other devices are free or not. Anybody know?

What is the price for the standalone version of 1PW 7?
The subscription is $36/year for single user, $60/year for family of 5.
Couldn't find the non sub price on their website.
Anyone know?

it's impossible to find, they do not show the price on the web site. I don't like their business tactics lately.

Well, I installed 1Password v7.7 last night. Installation was easy enough, but it only imported approximately 2/3 of the entries from my previous 1Password vault. Not too pleased about that.
