I use it currently, but I’ve seen a few people say it’s bad for privacy or something? Is this true? If so, what alternatives do you suggest?

There’s an Open Source implementation called Vaultwarden. You should certainly export your passwords from Bitwarden so they can’t keep them hostage.
Alternatives include Passbolt (no offline client, weird French crypto implementation of RSA), KeePassXC (best for single users, not good for sharing) and QtPass/gopass/pass (best solution if you are very proficient with GPG and like the command line).
imo your tone is a bit blowing this out of proportion, you can stay on the free tier, pay regularly for a very good service or even self-host. they are not keeping your password “hostage”.
Yes, that’s why I said you should export the passwords regularly, so they can not hold them hostage. Whether they currently do it or just remove some features when you stop paying is irrelevant since they could change that tomorrow.
What do you mean by “keep them hostage”? Why would they do that?
You pay for their service and when you stop paying, you lose access to the passwords you didn’t synchronise to your local client before that happens.
I use the free personal plan myself.
