1Password Pricing (2026): Plans, Costs and Fine Print

Short answer: 1Password Business costs $8.99 per user per month billed annually ($107.88 per user per year), and that plan is required for SSO and SCIM provisioning. Teams of 10 or fewer without SSO needs can use the flat-rate Teams Starter Pack instead, at $24.95 a month. There is no free business plan, and Enterprise pricing is custom and sales-quoted.

1Password plans and prices

1Password sells three business tiers: a flat-rate starter pack, per-seat Business, and quote-only Enterprise (1Password pricing page, checked September 17, 2026). For the full field of business password managers in this category, see the password management category hub.

What 1Password costs for your team

The formula: Teams Starter Pack is $24.95 a month flat for up to 10 members, plus $4.99 a month for each additional member up to 10 more (20 total). Business is seats times $8.99 a month times 12 months.

A 10-person team that also needs SSO or SCIM would pay for Business instead: 10 x $107.88 = $1,078.80 a year, well above the Starter Pack's $299.40. All figures are estimates before tax and any negotiated discount.

Watch out: The Teams Starter Pack's flat-rate math stays cheaper than Business per seat all the way to 20 seats, so the plan does not push teams to Business on price. It pushes them there with a hard seat cap: a team of 21 or more, or any team that needs SSO or SCIM at any size, has to move to Business regardless of the cost difference (1Password pricing page, checked September 17, 2026).

What each plan includes

Teams Starter Pack

The flat $24.95 a month covers up to 10 members with password and item sharing, role-based permissions, security alerts, developer tools and five guest accounts (1Password pricing page, checked September 17, 2026). It does not include SSO, SCIM provisioning, Watchtower alerts at Business depth, or SIEM event streaming.

Admins running a small team without a directory to sync typically outgrow this tier when they need centralized provisioning, not when they run out of budget. The small business password manager guide covers how competitors price this same tier.

Business

Business adds these capabilities over the Teams Starter Pack (1Password Business pricing page, checked September 17, 2026):

• SSO through Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, OneLogin and Duo
• SCIM-based provisioning, either a self-hosted SCIM Bridge or 1Password's newer hosted Automated Provisioning
• Advanced role-based vault sharing and Watchtower alerts
• SIEM event streaming to tools such as Splunk, plus business usage reporting
• 20 guest accounts and 24/7 email and phone support

It is billed annually per user with no published monthly-billing option.

Enterprise

Enterprise is sold as part of 1Password's Unified Access Platform alongside optional Device Trust, SaaS Manager and Privileged Access add-ons. Pricing is fully custom and sales-quoted; 1Password publishes no per-seat figure for this tier. Confirmed inclusions are a dedicated account manager, custom security reviews and an uptime SLA, the last of which is not offered on Business (1Password pricing page, checked September 17, 2026).

Costs beyond the license

1Password's costs beyond the base license fall into a few categories:

• Unified Access add-ons: Device Trust, SaaS Manager and Privileged Access are all quote-only, with no published per-user figure to add to a Business or Enterprise budget.
• Support: Business plan support (24/7 email and phone) is included at no extra charge, so there is no separate paid-support tier to budget for.
• Self-hosting: Not offered for the core vault, so there are no self-hosting infrastructure costs to plan for. The optional SCIM Bridge component can run on-premises, but 1Password's newer hosted Automated Provisioning removes the need to operate it at all (1Password SCIM documentation, checked September 17, 2026).
• Procurement: Teams buying through AWS Marketplace get consolidated billing and simplified procurement rather than a different price.
• MSP and reseller pricing: MSPs buy through distributors such as Pax8 rather than a self-serve console. A 2026 trade-press comparison describes 1Password's MSP and reseller pricing as running roughly double a comparable program like Keeper's, and cites that gap as a reason some MSPs switch providers despite liking the product (Channel Insider, accessed September 17, 2026).

Free plan and trial

1Password has no free tier for business use; the Families and Individual free options are personal-use only. Both the Teams Starter Pack and Business plan offer a 14-day free trial (1Password pricing page, checked September 17, 2026). Whether a credit card is required to start the trial is not consistently stated on the current pricing page, and independent reports disagree, so confirm at signup rather than assume either way. Enterprise has no self-serve trial; it moves through a sales quote instead.

Discounts and contract terms

1Password publishes a nonprofit program that offers "a one-time credit, discounted accounts, or a similar type of support," but does not publish a specific discount percentage; eligibility is confirmed after a nonprofit submits its work email through the sign-up form (1Password for Non-Profits page, checked September 17, 2026). No education-specific discount is published.

The Teams Starter Pack's monthly and annual totals are the same ($24.95 x 12 = $299.40), so there is no separate annual-billing discount on that tier. The Business plan is billed annually per user with no published month-to-month option. Subscriptions auto-renew until canceled (1Password membership billing policy, checked September 17, 2026); a minimum contract term beyond that self-serve billing structure is not published.

Renewal pricing

1Password does not publish a renewal price distinct from its list per-seat rate for Business, and no first-year promotional rate is documented for Business or the Teams Starter Pack. The one confirmed 2026 price move affected consumer plans: 1Password raised Individual and Family prices effective March 27, 2026, an increase of up to 33 percent on the steepest tier, while Business and Enterprise per-seat list pricing was reported unchanged at the same time (MacRumors, February 24, 2026; TechRadar, accessed September 17, 2026).

A spend-management vendor reports that 1Password buyers negotiate discounts in the 10 to 20 percent range off list price; treat that as a reported pattern, not a published price (CloudEagle, accessed September 17, 2026).

1Password price history

No dated, vendor-published change to Business or Teams Starter Pack per-seat pricing was found. Independent trackers describe a Business plan increase from $7.99 to $8.99 per user per month sometime in 2026, but without a dated announcement to cite, it is left out of the table above.

How 1Password pricing compares

At 50 seats on each vendor's SSO-enabled plan, billed annually, 1Password lists well above Bitwarden, Keeper and NordPass.

Bitwarden's price is vendor-confirmed (bitwarden.com/pricing/business/, checked September 17, 2026). Keeper's and NordPass's own pricing pages render dollar figures client-side and returned no numbers on a direct fetch today; the figures above are corroborated on Capterra and Tekpon for Keeper, and on checkthat.ai (dated April 23, 2026) for NordPass, each independently citing the vendor's own pricing page as its source.

See the password manager pricing index for more products at other seat counts.

Is 1Password worth the price?

1Password's SSO-enabled Business plan lists meaningfully above Bitwarden's, Keeper's and NordPass's own SSO tiers on a same-basis comparison, so the case for paying more rests on something other than list price.

For a team under 10 people that does not need SSO or SCIM, the flat-rate Teams Starter Pack is inexpensive and competitive with any vendor's entry tier. For a team of 50 or more that needs SSO, SCIM and admin reporting, 1Password costs roughly 50 percent more per seat than the same-tier plans from Bitwarden, Keeper or NordPass, and it does not offer self-hosting the way Bitwarden does.

The premium buys a widely deployed, consumer-familiar app, a choice of US, Canada or EU data region, SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certification, and a support tier that is included rather than sold separately. Teams that already standardize on 1Password for personal use, or that weight its polish and cross-platform apps over the lowest per-seat number, are the ones for whom the premium is easiest to justify.

Budget-constrained teams and MSPs managing many client tenants should model Bitwarden or Keeper first; the guide to choosing a business password manager lays out the requirements to check before committing either way, and the shortlist builder turns them into a checklist you can score 1Password against.

Bottom line

1Password Business is worth the premium for teams that want a polished, widely trusted app and are willing to pay roughly 50 percent more per seat than Bitwarden, Keeper or NordPass charge for a comparable SSO-enabled plan. Teams under 10 people without an SSO requirement should start with the flat-rate Teams Starter Pack instead of jumping straight to Business. If price, not polish, is the deciding factor, work through the 1Password vs. Bitwarden comparison before signing an annual contract.
