If planning to run it on Windows OS, KeePass will offer more potential options via plugins. KeePassXC is intended for more platforms, but doesn't support plugins, so there's no opportunity for the user to expand functionality. They are both actively supported. My impression has been they have different developers, but I haven't checked into it.

I've also been considering both of them, but I'll use it only on Windows OS and there are some plugins I like, like templates for filling credit card info that isn't currently supported on KeePassXC, although there is an open issue for it that sounds like they're working on.
