1Password Pricing 2026 for Teams and Businesses
Nov 3, 202614 min read
1Password costs whatever your plan tier, seat count, add-ons and billing term multiply out to, and the per-user rate on the pricing page is only the first factor.
It's a password manager sold as personal, family, business and enterprise plans. I couldn't confirm any dollar figures, so this article gives none, and teams that want to wire credential-rotation reminders into their Activepieces flows will need to check current pricing with the vendor directly.
1Password pricing and plan factors
The direct answer
You get the total by multiplying seats by the per-seat rate and the billing term, then adding any add-ons. Choose the plan family that has the features you need, then run that multiplication at your own headcount.
- Personal is for one person managing their own logins.
- Family is for a household that wants shared vaults and separate private ones.
- Business is for a team that needs admin controls and shared company credentials.
- Enterprise is for larger organizations with stricter security, compliance or identity-integration requirements.
How 1Password prices were checked
I wrote this page on 3 November 2026 and state no prices, because I couldn't confirm any against the vendor's page. Treat any figure you see, here or elsewhere, as stale until you've read it on 1Password's own pricing page the day you buy.
If a tier sends you to a sales conversation instead of showing a rate, ask for a written quote that lists seats, term and add-ons separately. A number you can't audit is a number you can't budget.
Annual versus monthly billing
Check which version of the rate the page displays, because annual billing usually lowers the effective monthly rate in exchange for paying upfront. If the headline is the annual rate spread across twelve months, a team paying monthly will spend more than the headline implies.
A number you can't audit is a number you can't budget.

1Password plans, prices and limits
To see how your headcount turns into a bill, start with the unit: the table below sorts every 1Password plan by whether its price multiplies against a person, a household, a small-team bundle or a seat.
It has no dollar figures, because I couldn't confirm any, and I mark each row unverified.
| Plan | Price basis | Billing term | Included | Limits (users, vaults, guests) | Flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Individual | Per person | Not confirmed | Personal password manager | One user | Unverified |
| Families | One price for a household | Not confirmed | Personal manager with sharing | Household members only | Unverified |
| Teams Starter Pack | One bundle price for a small team | Not confirmed | Shared team vaults | Capped user count | Unverified |
| Business | Per seat | Not confirmed | Team management and admin controls | Grows with seats | Unverified |
| Enterprise | Quote-based | Not confirmed | Everything in Business plus extras | Negotiated | Unverified |
| Add-ons | Separate line items | Not confirmed | Extra capabilities | Depend on the add-on | Unverified |
Because Individual scales per person, it only makes sense for one user. Families flips the unit to the household, which makes it cheaper than buying several Individual plans once more than one person needs access.
Because the Starter Pack is a bundle, its cost stays flat until you hit its user cap. Past that cap you move to Business, which charges per seat, and every added hire raises the bill.
Enterprise has no published unit, so the real cost only appears after a sales conversation. Budget for that gap before you pick it.
Since add-ons sit outside the base plan, they never appear in the headline rate. Add each one you need to your seat count and term, then compare the total across tiers.
What 1Password costs at realistic team sizes
As headcount grows, the cheapest plan changes: flat-price plans win for small groups, and per-user Business pricing takes over as seats grow.
The table below gives the shape of each comparison, and the per-seat column is the one to compute from the current price page, since it shows where a flat price stops paying off.
| Group | Plan used | Seats | Annual cost | Per-seat annual cost | Cheaper option |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Household of 5 | Families | 5 | One flat family price | Flat price ÷ 5 | Families |
| 5-person team | Teams Starter Pack | 5 | One flat pack price | Flat price ÷ 5 | Starter Pack |
| 25-person company | Business | 25 | Per-user price × 25 | Per-user price | Business |
| 100-person company | Business | 100 | Per-user price × 100 | Per-user price | Business |
Divide each total by its seats before you compare anything.
Nobody pays extra for a fifth person on Families, since it is a single plan. The per-seat cost falls with every person you add. A business plan would charge for each of those five separately, for features a household never touches.
You're paying for the bundle rather than for each seat, because the Starter Pack charges a flat price for a small team.
It beats Business while the team stays small enough to fill the pack. Once you grow past what it covers, or need Business-only features, the flat price stops being the cheaper route.
1Password cost for 25 and 100 employees
At these sizes per-user Business pricing is the realistic option, and the total scales in a straight line with headcount.
The per-seat figure stays constant, so your only levers are the billing term and add-ons. Price those at your own seat count before you sign, because a small per-seat add-on multiplied by 100 is a different bill from the same add-on at 25.
Hidden 1Password costs and limits
The per-seat price covers only the first line of the bill. Add-ons, seat caps, tier-gated features and renewal terms each change the total, so check each against your headcount and billing term. The subsections below sort them by where they hit the bill.
Seat counting and bundle caps
When a team outgrows the Starter Pack's seat cap, it moves to per-seat pricing and the bundle's low entry price stops applying. Guest and family-member limits work the same way: once you pass the allowance, you buy more.
Inactive seats are also billable. A departed contractor's still-provisioned account bills you with no user attached.
The check that catches those accounts is cheap to automate, because Activepieces counts a flow run as 1 credit however many steps it has.
A ten-step leaver check costs the same as the two-step shortcut it replaced, whereas per-task billing such as Zapier's charges for every step and so taxes the careful version.
Features gated to higher tiers
If a team needs automated provisioning, it may have to move above the plan it priced, since SSO and SCIM depend on your tier. The Extended Access Management add-on is billed on top of the plan, which means it scales with headcount.
Three terms carry most of that decision. SSO, or single sign-on, means staff sign in to 1Password through the company's identity provider, the system that already holds their work logins, instead of with a separate password.
SCIM is the provisioning side: accounts are created and removed automatically from that identity provider, so nobody adds or deletes users by hand.
Extended Access Management is an add-on that checks and enforces security on the devices people use, which is what step 3 of the plan checklist below asks about. If you have no identity provider and no device policy, you probably need none of the three.
SCIM also bears on cost. Automated removal stops leavers occupying paid seats, so a feature that raises the tier can partly pay for itself.
Then there is integration labor, a cost the pricing page leaves out. ContractRates.fyi puts IT consultants at $80 per hour in the US and $75 in the UK, so a hired identity-provider setup is billed by the hour on top of the license.
Canada's figure is $25 per hour, more than three times lower. That gap may reflect the data behind the average, so treat it as a reason to get a quote, not to assume a discount.
The discount applies only to annual billing, so monthly payment costs more per seat for the same plan. The renewal price can differ from the first-term price, so check it before committing to a year.
Worth checking against a plan that does not meter every step: one credit covers a whole run on Activepieces.
1Password vs Bitwarden, Dashlane and Keeper pricing
Only Bitwarden of the four keeps a free tier after the trial. With the other three the first real charge arrives when the trial ends, and the comparison comes down to what each entry plan caps.
Price comparison table
Read the table for which plan shapes each vendor sells and where the entry-level limits sit.
I left dollar amounts out on purpose: prices and seat caps change, and a figure copied here would be stale before you budget with it. Read the vendor's own pricing page on the day you decide, and record that date next to your total.
| Vendor | Individual, family, small-team and business plans | Free tier | Key limit to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1Password | All four | No, trial only | Which features sit above the entry business tier |
| Bitwarden | All four | Yes | Advanced admin and SSO features on higher tiers |
| Dashlane | All four | No for new users, trial only | Seat cap on the small-team plan |
| Keeper | All four | No, trial only | Add-on modules priced separately from the base plan |
Choose Bitwarden when the team mainly needs shared vaults and you have someone comfortable with its setup.
Pay the premium when you need the features you tested during the trial (SSO setup included). That applies when the cheaper options put them on a higher tier than the one you priced.
A cheaper entry price that forces an upgrade isn't cheaper.
Choosing the right 1Password plan for your situation
Pick the plan whose features you can't do without, then price it at your headcount. A tier missing one of them costs more than it saves once you have to upgrade.
Work through these in order. Each step either settles the choice or narrows what's left, so you only price the plans that survive.
- Count the people, and note whether they share a household.
- Check whether you need SSO, SCIM provisioning, or a compliance requirement.
- Check whether you need to enforce security on the devices people use.
- Compare the total at your headcount, including add-ons and billing term.
- Pick the cheapest plan that passed every check, or skip paid tiers if none is needed.
1Password pricing for individuals and families
If you're one person, or a family sharing a home, steps two and three rarely apply. Individual covers one person. Families covers a household and spares you per-person math.
Buy separate individual plans for a household and you pay for duplicate vaults and lose easy sharing. If you already trust a browser or operating-system password manager and share little, the paid tiers may not earn their cost.
Here the Teams Starter Pack is the first thing to price for teams under 10, because it's built for this headcount.
Check it against step two before buying. If you'll soon need SSO, the starter price is a down payment on a forced move to Business. Compare both totals now, not after onboarding.
Once SSO, SCIM, or a compliance obligation appears, Business or Enterprise is the working answer, and the cheaper tiers stop being candidates. Confirm which tier includes each control you need.
Cut onboarding overhead with Activepieces after you buy
Once you can see the price, Activepieces can take the manual joiner and leaver admin off your admins' desks. It's a workflow automation tool and doesn't change what 1Password charges you.
That distinction matters because per-seat pricing punishes neglect. An ex-employee whose account nobody removed is a seat you still pay for, so a leaver process that depends on someone remembering is a recurring cost leak.
What the 1Password onboarding workflow does
In the diagram, an HR form submission triggers an Activepieces workflow, which branches into an admin notification and a ticket, with a leaver as the case to watch.
Take from it that the form is the single source of the event, so nobody has to relay it by hand.
When HR submits a joiner or leaver form, the workflow notifies the people who manage the vault and opens a ticket naming the person and the action required.
Nothing in that chain needs a direct connection to 1Password. A human still makes the change, but the request is now written down and assigned, so a leaver is far less likely to sit on your bill unnoticed.
What to verify about 1Password integration first
Don't assume Activepieces can create or remove 1Password accounts itself. Check two things before you design around it: whether 1Password appears in the Activepieces integration list, and whether 1Password's own API exposes the user actions you would need, at your plan tier.
If both hold, you may be able to automate the change itself. If either fails, the notify-and-ticket version above still works, and it needs only the form and a messaging or ticketing step.
Frequently asked questions
The pricing page answers none of these five questions in full, and each one changes what you pay or what you keep.
Free versions and discounts
Is there a free version of 1Password? Not as a permanent plan. 1Password sells subscriptions and has a trial period instead.
Budget for the paid tier you need, and use the trial to test that tier's features at your real team size rather than a handful of test users.
Does 1Password offer a student, nonprofit or open-source discount? It has run programs of this kind, but eligibility and terms change.
Ask 1Password directly before you buy, and get the discount confirmed in writing.
Refunds and renewal
Can I get a refund after buying 1Password? Refunds exist under a stated policy, but they depend on how recently you bought and which plan you bought.
Read the current terms before checkout. If the plan turns out wrong, contact support early, because a request made soon after purchase is the one most likely to qualify.
Does 1Password raise prices at renewal? Treat renewal as a fresh purchase. Prices can change between terms, and a seat count that grew mid-term will renew at the larger size.
If you stop paying
What happens to my passwords if I stop paying? Lapsing usually restricts access rather than deleting your vault outright, but the exact behavior depends on your plan and how long the account stays unpaid.
Export your data before you cancel or downgrade, and keep that file somewhere secure. Then the worst case is an inconvenience, not a lockout.
