Pricing

1Password lists Individual at $3.99 per month billed yearly and Families at $5.99 for up to 5 users, with Teams Starter Pack at $2.49 per user per month and Business at $8.99 (vendor-sourced). Third-party reporting says annual prices rose on March 27, 2026, from $35.88 to $47.88 for Individual and from $59.88 to $71.88 for Families.

LastPass lists Free, Premium, Families for up to 6 Premium accounts, Plus with a VPN, Teams for up to 50 users, Business and Business Max (vendor-sourced). Security.org lists Premium at $3 per month billed annually, Families at $4, Teams at $4 per user and Business at $7, while PricingSaaS lists lower figures, and the sources do not explain the gap (third-party reported). Entry price understates total cost for teams that need single sign-on.

Features and limits

1Password stores passwords and other items, generates credentials and shares vaults, and the Families plan allows unlimited shared vaults and guest accounts. Account security rests on the account password combined with a Secret Key, and a user who loses both cannot recover the account (third-party reported).

LastPass includes unlimited password storage and autofill on its Free plan, limited to one device type and to sharing one password with one person at a time. G2 reviewers report autofill errors, password-length problems and login issues, and Capterra shows 83% of 421 ease of use mentions positive (review platform).

Review platform ratings

1Password has 4.6/5 on G2 and 4.7/5 from about 2,100 reviews on Capterra, with a 90% recommendation rate. LastPass has 4.5/5 from about 2,056 reviews on G2 and 4.6/5 from 2,782 on Capterra (review platform).

Security and compliance

1Password publishes SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO certifications (vendor-sourced). LastPass lists ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3 and BSI C5 on its trust center (vendor-sourced). Third-party reporting describes two incidents in August 2022 in which an attacker reached the development environment. Vaults stayed encrypted, but metadata such as names, emails, phone numbers and site URLs was exposed, and in November 2025 the UK Information Commissioner's Office fined LastPass UK Ltd £1,228,283. The security and compliance sub-score is 9.0 for 1Password and 5.0 for LastPass.

Who each tool suits

1Password

The 1Password review describes a fit for households and teams that will pay for a well documented manager. It fits less well for people who want a free tier or full export of passkeys and custom fields from the desktop apps.

LastPass

The LastPass review describes a fit for buyers who want a free plan with unlimited password storage and autofill. It fits less well for buyers for whom the 2022 breach and the ICO fine rule it out, and for teams that need single sign-on beyond three apps without Business Max.
