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.
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 not that I pay for iCloud, it's that I pay for 1Password. And 1Password does NOT keep a key to my vaults nor even stores my data. Lastpass etc are 'free' - it's my opinion that such a business model is far riskier to put personal data. Just my view.
