1Password plans and prices

1Password is one of the most common password managers in business, and its pricing is simple: a flat pack for small teams, Business per user and Enterprise by quote. The decision is mostly about when identity integration forces the upgrade.

This guide prices every business plan from 1Password's official pricing page.

Prices below were recorded on 21 September 2026. The headline figure is the lowest price you can get for that plan. Check the official page before you buy, because vendors change prices without notice.

How billing works

The Teams Starter Pack is a flat USD 24.95 a month on annual billing (USD 299.40 a year) for 10 members, with extra seats at USD 4.99 per month up to a hard cap of 20 users. Business costs USD 8.99 per user per month on annual billing (USD 107.88 per user per year) with no minimum. Personalized training and a dedicated Customer Success Manager come only with Business accounts of 101 or more users. Payment is by card or ACH, and Business can also be bought through AWS Marketplace.

The tier trap

The Starter Pack has no SSO or SCIM and stops at 20 users. The moment IT wants provisioning from Okta or Entra ID, every user moves to Business at USD 8.99 per user.

Read this first. The Business monthly-billing price is not shown, so we list none. Enterprise features beyond Business are not detailed on the page. The NordPass price comes from G2, not NordPass's own site, and the Keeper range comes from Vendr because Keeper's page showed no prices.

What a team of 50 really pays

Fifty users on Business is the standard case. The leaver scenario shows how SCIM pays for itself.

Yearly cost scenarios for 1Password
ScenarioCost per yearAgainst the headline
Business, billed annually (50 users)USD5,394Headline price
Business with 10 leavers never removed (60 seats)USD6,473+USD 1,079
Teams Starter Pack at its 20-user cap (10 included plus 10 extra seats)USD898Only possible under 20 users, no SSO

Where the bill grows

A password manager is cheap per seat, which is why seat hygiene gets skipped.

20-user ceiling

The Starter Pack cannot grow past 20 users, so fast-growing teams face a forced move to Business.

SSO and SCIM drive the upgrade

Identity provider integration is Business only, which is usually what a security review requires.

Departed employees

Seats for leavers keep billing until someone offboards them, a common gap without SCIM.

Guests beyond the limit

Starter includes 5 guests and Business 20, so heavy contractor use needs planning.

Success services only at scale

Personalized training and a dedicated CSM start at 101 users on Business.

What each 1Password plan includes

Compare the plans side by side. Where a cell says Check page, the vendor's pricing page was not specific enough for us to fill it in.

Which 1Password plan should you pick?

Teams Starter Pack

Pick it if you have up to 20 people and do not need SSO or SCIM.

Business

Pick it if you need SSO, SCIM, policies, activity logs or SIEM integration.

Enterprise

Pick it if you have a large or complex rollout and want custom terms.

Our view

1Password Business is fair value at USD 8.99 per user for companies that need SSO and SCIM, and the Starter Pack is one of the cheapest ways for a small team to share credentials properly. Price-sensitive buyers can find cheaper managers with similar core features.

You may be overpaying if

You are on Business but do not use SSO, SCIM or reporting, you pay for leavers who were never offboarded, or you are a team under 20 on Business without an identity requirement.

How to pay less for 1Password

  1. Use the Starter Pack while small

    Up to 20 users, USD 24.95 a month plus USD 4.99 per extra seat is far cheaper than Business.

  2. Turn on SCIM

    Automated deprovisioning stops leaver seats from renewing.

  3. Audit seats before renewal

    Compare active users to billed seats 60 days out.

  4. Ask for volume or nonprofit pricing

    1Password says volume and nonprofit discounts are available on request.

  5. Buy through AWS Marketplace

    If you have committed AWS spend, buying Business there may count toward it.

  6. Get competing quotes

    Bitwarden Teams at USD 4 and NordPass Business at USD 3.59 per user give you real bargaining power.

Renewal email you can copy

Fill in the brackets and send it about 90 days before the renewal date. It works best next to your renewal tracker.

Keeping 1Password spend under control

Security tools have a quiet failure mode. Offboarding removes the laptop and the email but leaves the password manager seat, which keeps billing and keeps access alive.

  • Ask for the security documents up front. Request the security report, the data processing terms and the insurance certificate before you sign. See supplier onboarding.
  • Score the vendor on risk, not only on price. A cheap tool with weak controls costs more after an incident. Use a vendor risk assessment template.
  • Watch the renewal date. Security tools are often bought on multi-year terms. Put the notice date in a renewal tracker.
  • Check the licence metric. Seats, devices and endpoints are counted differently by each vendor. Confirm which one you are paying for.

Bottom line. Stay on the Starter Pack while you are small, move to Business when SSO or SCIM becomes a requirement, and reconcile seats with your HR list before every renewal.

1Password pricing questions

How much does 1Password cost per user?

1Password Business costs USD 8.99 per user per month billed annually, or USD 107.88 per user per year. The Teams Starter Pack costs USD 24.95 a month for 10 users, with extra seats at USD 4.99 each up to 20. A 50-person team pays USD 5,394 a year on Business.

Is there a free version of 1Password?

No. 1Password has no free business plan, but every business plan comes with a 14-day free trial. Very small teams can keep costs low with the Teams Starter Pack at USD 24.95 a month for up to 10 users.

How much is 1Password Enterprise?

1Password does not publish Enterprise pricing. You request a quote. Enterprise builds on Business, which already includes SSO, SCIM provisioning, custom policies, activity logs and SIEM integrations, and adds custom pricing and deployment support for large rollouts.

Can you get a discount on 1Password?

Yes. 1Password states that volume and nonprofit discounts are available on request. You can also buy Business through AWS Marketplace, which may help if you have committed AWS spend, and competing quotes help at renewal.

Is 1Password billed monthly or annually?

1Password shows business prices on annual billing: USD 8.99 per user per month for Business and USD 299.40 a year for the Starter Pack. Monthly rates for Business are not listed on the pricing page, so confirm at checkout.

What is the cheapest alternative to 1Password?

NordPass Business is listed at USD 3.59 per user per month and Bitwarden Teams at USD 4 per user per month billed annually. Both cost less than half of 1Password Business and include team sharing, so they are useful quotes at renewal.
