Dashlane review

Dashlane score breakdown

What Dashlane is and who it is for

Dashlane sells password managers for individuals, families and businesses. The business line has three tiers: Password Management, Credential Protection and Enterprise. The vendor lists single sign-on, SCIM provisioning, SIEM integration, a password generator, a secure vault, AI phishing detection and a risk insights dashboard on its business page, without mapping each feature to a plan.

It suits people and teams who want a polished, certified manager and are willing to pay more than the open source options. Buyers who mainly want the lowest price or a self-hosted setup should look at Bitwarden. Buyers who want a device-specific Secret Key as part of the security model should look at 1Password.

What Dashlane does

Dashlane stores logins, generates passwords, autofills credentials in browsers and rates the strength of saved passwords. Third-party reviewers also describe dark web monitoring and an identity dashboard. Third-party reporting lists a VPN among Dashlane's extras and says it is limited to the plan manager on family plans.

Review platform feedback is consistent on both sides. Reviewers on G2 and Capterra praise usability and quick setup. The recurring complaints are autofill that enters wrong details or works inconsistently, intrusive pop-ups and occasional crashes. A status tracker recorded intermittent autofill failures on Chrome, Firefox and Edge for extension version 6.2444.1 in late 2024, with a fix shipped in 6.2444.2 for Chrome and Edge and Firefox following later (third-party reported). Dashlane's own troubleshooting page says autofill can fail and attributes many failures to the websites involved (vendor-sourced).

On security, the vendor states that it holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, runs yearly third-party penetration tests and operates a bug bounty (vendor-sourced, March 2026). Business customers get SSO through SAML 2.0 with Okta and Entra ID, a "Confidential SSO" option built on AWS Nitro Enclaves, SCIM provisioning, and activity and audit log export to a SIEM (vendor-sourced). Capterra lists SSO under the Business plan at $8 per user per month, while the vendor's business page does not map features to plans.

Dashlane's October 2026 passkey report states that monthly passkey authentications among its users nearly doubled to 2.5 million, and that 57% of users have at least one passkey, up from 40% (vendor-sourced, reported by Infosecurity Magazine). These figures measure activity inside the product and do not show customer outcomes.

Dashlane pricing

Personal plan prices differ by source, and the likely causes are currency, tax, date and introductory versus renewal pricing.

• Premium: about $4.06 to $4.07 per month in the first year according to Cybernews, $4.99 according to Security.org and TemperStack, and $5.42 according to PricingSaaS (all third-party reported). A July 2026 capture lists EUR 4.00 per month. Cybernews reports a 14-day trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee, and says introductory prices renew higher.
• Friends & Family: $7.49 (Securden), $8.13 (Cybernews and PricingSaaS) and $8.99 (zoftwarehub) per month, third-party reported. The plan covers up to 10 accounts, and billing is annual only.
• Free plan: sources disagree. Cybernews and press coverage say Dashlane ended its free plan in 2025, with free users given until September 16 to subscribe or export their data. Security.org (updated May 2026) and TemperStack (March 2026) still describe a free tier limited to 25 passwords.
• Business, Password Management: $8 per user per month billed annually according to PricingSaaS and a Capterra listing, with a 14-day trial listed by the vendor.
• Business, Credential Protection: $4 per user per month according to PricingSaaS (third-party reported). The vendor lists it as billed annually and sold through sales or a demo.
• Enterprise: custom volume pricing through sales (vendor-sourced).

The vendor's business page shows no per-user figure for the first two tiers, so the business prices above come from third parties. Security.org calls Premium at $4.99 the most expensive in its class, and a 2024 Cybernews comparison gives Bitwarden at $1.65 per month against $4.06 for Dashlane (third-party reported).

Dashlane pros

• Dashlane's strongest point in review platform data is its rating, with 4.5 out of 5 on G2 from 626 reviews and 4.5 on Capterra from 276 reviews for Dashlane for Business.

Dashlane cons

• The VPN is reported to be limited to the plan manager on family plans.

How Dashlane compares

Dashlane verdict

Dashlane earns a middling overall score because strong review platform ratings and published certifications are offset by high pricing and consistent autofill complaints. It is a fit for individuals and business teams who want SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified software with SSO and SCIM and accept a higher price. It is not the right choice for buyers who want the cheapest plan or a self-hosted option.
