LastPass vs Proton Pass: one is cheaper to keep, the other is free to start
How to read this page: every number below was read from the vendor’s own public pricing page on the date shown, and the pages are re-checked daily. Currencies differ because that is what each vendor showed an EU visitor. Some links on this page are affiliate links — if you subscribe through one we earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. Per our method, that never changes a number or a verdict. Source links always point to the vendor’s plain page.

Source: https://proton.me/pass/pricing · read 2026-10-13 (UTC) · Two separate pages: personal plans at proton.me/pass/pricing and business plans at proton.me/business/pass/pricing. Both carry a Monthly / Yearly switch that opens on Yearly, so the figures shown first are the discounted per-month equivalents with the twelve-month total printed underneath. Proton also sells Pass inside Proton Unlimited, which bundles Mail, VPN, Drive and Calendar for one price — so on this page a password manager and a five-product suite sit in the same table. Read in a browser on the date shown above with the switch clicked both ways on both pages. Prices returned in euros from an EU address.
What this vendor quotes in each market, as its own page printed it — not one price converted three ways.

What the record says
The interesting thing about this pair is that the winner changes depending on a question the pricing pages cannot answer: have you already decided to pay? If you have, LastPass is the cheaper subscription at every tier we hold. If you have not, Proton Pass has a row at €0 and LastPass, in our reading, does not.
Taking the paid side first: €2.9 against €4.99 for a single person. Across a year that is €34.8 against €59.88, a gap of €25.08. For a household the two family plans read €3.9 and €6.99.
Both vendors quote local currency — dollars to a reader in the United States, pounds in the United Kingdom, euros in Germany, France and Spain — so those differences are arithmetic on two figures in one money rather than a conversion we performed. That is not the norm in this category, where several vendors export a single dollar price to every country, and it is the reason this comparison can be stated the same way in every edition.
The free row is where the two genuinely diverge. Proton's ladder opens at €0. Our LastPass reading begins at €2.9 with nothing above it priced at zero. Worth being careful here: that is what our extraction captured from the page, and a tier we did not capture is not a tier we can say does not exist. If a free plan is the deciding factor, the vendor's own page is the place to settle it.
LastPass also publishes tiers above the consumer ones — Teams, Business and Business Max. Figures for them appeared in the page we read but did not clear the check that binds a price to a plan name, so they are not in the table and not in this comparison. Proton's upper row, €12.99, is a different kind of thing again: it buys the whole Proton suite rather than the password manager, so scoring it against a standalone manager would be comparing a bundle to a component.
Beyond the price tag
One person
LastPass Premium reads €2.9; Proton Pass Plus reads €4.99. Over a year, €34.8 against €59.88 — a difference of €25.08.
A household
LastPass Families reads €3.9 and Proton Pass Family €6.99. Neither reading records how many people either vendor counts as a family, so neither figure here implies a headcount.
The free row, and what it is not
Proton Pass opens at €0. Our LastPass ladder starts at €2.9. Read that as a gap in what we extracted rather than a finding about the vendor's catalogue — an absent row is not an absent product.
Same money on both sides
Both pages answered in the currency of the country we read them from. That is why every difference on this page is a subtraction of two figures in one currency, and why the sentences do not change shape between the American, British and European editions.
The tiers this page does not score
LastPass's Teams, Business and Business Max carried figures in the page we read that did not pass the check binding a price to a plan, so they are absent rather than free. Proton's €12.99 is a suite bundle and belongs against a stack of subscriptions, not against one manager.
Questions people actually search
Which costs less, LastPass or Proton Pass?
LastPass, on every paid tier we hold: €2.9 against €4.99 for one person and €3.9 against €6.99 for a family. Because both vendors quote local currency, that answer is the same in every edition of this page rather than only in dollars.
Is there a free version of either?
Proton Pass has one in our reading, at €0. Our LastPass ladder holds no zero-priced row — which reflects what we extracted from the page rather than settling what the vendor offers. Check the vendor's page if starting without paying is the deciding factor.
How much is the difference over a year?
€25.08 for a single person — €34.8 against €59.88. That is twelve times each vendor's own monthly figure in its own currency, not a conversion between them.
What about LastPass's business plans?
They exist on the page and are not in our table. The figures beside Teams, Business and Business Max did not clear the check that ties a price to a plan name in our reading, so quoting them here would mean publishing numbers we could not verify held together.
THE VERDICT, ONE MORE TIME
Our pick for anyone who is going to pay anyway: LastPass at €2.9 against €4.99 — €25.08 less over twelve months.
On the paid tiers LastPass is cheaper at both sizes we hold: €2.9 against €4.99 for one person, €3.9 against €6.99 for a household. Both vendors price per market in local money, so those comparisons hold in every edition of this page rather than only the American one.
Both ladders were read from the vendors' own pricing pages, from five countries in turn, and each table carries the date of its reading. Differences here are computed from the two figures printed beside them, always in a single currency. Where a tier is missing it is missing from our reading, and we say so rather than inferring what should be there. The method →
