1Password vs LastPass
Both ladders below were read from the vendors’ own pricing pages, in this market, on the dates shown. Nothing is converted: what you see is what each page showed a reader here.
What each one is
1Passwordsite ↗pricing ↗
A password manager for individuals, families and teams, with shared vaults and secrets management for developers. Paid plans start at $2.99/mo (Individual); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 2 paid tiers, topping out at $4.49/mo (Families). We read the same $2.99/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country. No free tier — a trial only — so the entry price is the price from day one.

The ladder we hold runs 2 paid tiers, topping out at $4/mo (Families). It bills by country — entry £2.6/mo to a UK reader and €2.9/mo in the eurozone, from our same-day reads. Its published prices moved on 2026-08-28 — the change log holds the rows.

Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: 1Password at $2.99/mo, against LastPass at $3/mo. That is the entry price in this market on the dates shown, not a judgement about which suits you.
- Free plans: neither publishes one. Any free access here is a trial, which is a deadline.
- How far each ladder goes: 1Password tops out at $4.49/mo, LastPass at $4/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
- Recently moved: LastPass (2026-08-28). A change only counts once a second clean read agrees.
- 1Password: We read the same $2.99/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country.
