How we scored it
A weighted average of the 4 dimensions below, each judged 0–10 from published pricing, vendor documentation and independent user feedback. We do not run hands-on tests, and no vendor has any say in a score.
2 further dimensions are not scored for this product yet, so they are left out of the average rather than counted as zero. How the score works.

What to check before you move a team onto 1Password
An app a team lives in all day is the hardest kind of software to leave. These are the questions that matter more than the feature list.
What it costs per seat, in a year
At $3.99 per user per month, a team of ten is $478.80 a year before a single add-on. Price the team you will have in a year, not the one you have today.
Which roles have to pay
Many plans charge full price for people who only need to read or approve. If light users need a seat, the real cost is the headline price times everyone, not times the core team.
Whether you can get your data out
Ask what a full export contains and in what format. An export that drops attachments, comments or history is not an export — it is a reason you will not leave.
What the move itself costs
Migration, retraining and the weeks of lower output are the real switching cost. Count them once when you adopt, because you pay them again if you change your mind.
These are the checks we apply across saas, in the same order, so two pages can be compared line for line.
How much does 1Password really cost?
Our calculation from the vendor's published prices — not a figure the vendor advertises.
One price covers the account whatever the team size, so cost per person falls as the team grows. Individual and Families are flat-rate plans. Teams Starter Pack is a flat monthly rate for up to 10 users. Business scales per-user per month. Enterprise pricing is custom.
| Team size | Per month | Per year | Over 3 years | How it is charged |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 person | $3.99 | $47.88 | $143.64 | Flat rate — seats are not charged separately on this plan |
| 5 people | $3.99 | $47.88 | $143.64 | Flat rate — seats are not charged separately on this plan |
| 10 people | $3.99 | $47.88 | $143.64 | Flat rate — seats are not charged separately on this plan |
| 50 people | $3.99 | $47.88 | $143.64 | Flat rate — seats are not charged separately on this plan |
Based on the Individual plan at $3.99 a month. Three years at the current monthly price. The vendor does not publish a renewal rate, so no increase is assumed.
- The vendor does not publish a renewal price, so three-year totals assume today's price holds.
- No annual price recorded, so annual figures are twelve times the monthly price.
Work out your own cost
- Flat rate — the price does not change with team size.
- No renewal increase is published, so today's price is held flat.

| Biggest strength | Industry-leading passkey support with cross-device synchronisation and passwordless login capability | Slackbot's contextual awareness of your team's conversations and files eliminates constant app-switching — it actually knows what you've been working on | Real-time collaboration is genuinely excellent — multiple designers can work simultaneously without conflicts or lag |
| Biggest drawback | No free plan or tier; only 14-day free trial (shorter than some competitors offering 30 days) | AI features like Slackbot and summarisation require paid plans, pricing out smaller teams who'd benefit most from automation | Performance degrades noticeably on complex files with hundreds of artboards or heavy plugins |
