Apple password manager vs. third party password management apps?

If I use Apple Password Manager on all my IOS devices, do I need or could I benefit from applications such as Dashlane or other password management applications? (Or is apple password manager, essentially the same thing?)


pros and cons for each would be helpful.

I have been using third-party password managers for years. When I got my recent iPhone SE I made a point of using iCloud Keychain and getting to learn how it works. That was last year. I now find that I’m not using those third-party password managers much anymore.. seriously considering deleting them since they’re doing nothing but taking up space on my devices now.
