Dashlane recommends Premium at €4.00 a month for one person. Friends & Family costs €6.05 a month for ten. That means the family plan is cheaper than two Premium subscriptions — €6.05 against €8.00 — so the break-even is two people, not five or six. At ten it works out at €0.61 per person per month, 85% below the plan Dashlane badges as “RECOMMENDED”.
- What it is: A password manager with autofill, dark web monitoring, a VPN and scam protection.
- Best for: Households — the family plan is the value, and it starts paying at two people.
- Pricing: Premium €4.00/month, Friends & Family €6.05/month for 10, both billed annually. Verified July 2026.
- The honest catch: There is no monthly billing option, and the free plan is not on the pricing page.
What Is Dashlane?
Dashlane stores and autofills passwords, passkeys, payment details, secure notes and IDs across unlimited devices, adds dark web monitoring against a continuously scanned breach corpus, and — newly — real-time scam protection. It holds a 4.5-star average across more than 300 Findstack reviews.
The pricing page splits into Personal and Business. Personal has two plans; Business has three, and one of them is not a password manager at all — more on that below.
How Dashlane Works
- Two personal plans, Premium and Friends & Family.
- Ten accounts on one Friends & Family subscription.
- Annual billing only — no monthly option offered.
- The VPN is manager-only on the family plan.
- A free tier exists but is absent from the pricing page.
- 14-day free trial on Premium.
Dashlane Pricing
Captured from Dashlane’s plans page in July 2026 on the euro price list, reading both the Personal and Business tabs. All prices exclude VAT.
| Personal plan | Per month | Per year | Members | Per person/year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | €0 | €0 | 1 | €0 — 25 passwords |
| Premium | €4.00 | €48.00 | 1 | €48.00 |
| Friends & Family | €6.05 | €72.60 | 10 | €7.26 |

| Enterprise | Custom | Volume-optimised |
What actually decides your cost:
- The family plan wins at two people, which is much earlier than these plans usually break even. €6.05 for ten accounts against €4.00 for one means two Premium subscriptions (€8.00) already cost more than the full family plan. Split ten ways it is €0.61 per person per month — €7.26 a year each against €48. If there is anyone else in your household with passwords, Premium is the wrong purchase.
- Members get everything except the VPN. Dashlane states it plainly on the card: “Premium account for plan manager. Everything but VPN for plan members.” So the plan manager holds the only VPN entitlement, and the other nine get the full password manager without it. Worth knowing if the VPN is part of why you are buying.
- There is a free plan, and it is not on the pricing page. Dashlane’s plans page shows only Premium and Friends & Family. A separate page offers a free account covering up to 25 passwords synced across unlimited devices, with autofill, the password generator and breach alerts. Twenty-five is genuinely tight for anyone with a normal number of accounts, but it is a real free tier and you have to go looking for it — the pricing page will not tell you it exists.
- There is no monthly billing option at all. Both personal plans say “Billed annually” with no toggle to switch. So the entry commitment is €48 or €72.60 up front rather than a small monthly charge — an unusually firm stance in a category where monthly billing is standard. The 14-day trial is what stands in for it.
- On the business side, the cheaper plan is not a password manager. Credential Protection at €4 per user per month sits left of Password Management at €8, and the comparison table marks it with a dash against Secure Vault, AI-Powered Autofill, Password Generator, Secure Sharing, Password Health dashboard and SSO/SCIM integrations. It detects and responds to credential risk; it does not store credentials. If you want Dashlane to manage business passwords, the price is €8, not €4.
- Prices exclude VAT. Every figure on the page carries a “+VAT” marker, so a European buyer should add their local rate before comparing against competitors quoting inclusive prices.
Who Should Use Dashlane
- Households of two or more. The clearest case by a distance — the family plan wins immediately.
- People with fewer than 25 passwords. The free tier covers you, if you can find it.
- Anyone wanting a VPN bundled in. Included with Premium and for the family plan manager.
- Businesses needing credential risk detection. Credential Protection is a distinct product, not a cheap vault.
It fits poorly for anyone who wants monthly billing, which is not offered; for solo users comparing on headline price, since €48 a year is mid-market; and for businesses shopping the €4 tier expecting password management.
Honest Pros and Cons
Strengths
- Ten accounts for €6.05 a month — the family plan is excellent value.
- A genuine free tier, if a small one.
- Unlimited devices on every plan, including free.
- A VPN included with Premium.
- Dark web monitoring against a continuously updated breach corpus.
- 14-day free trial, no card commitment up front.
Limitations
- No monthly billing on either personal plan.
- The free plan is absent from the pricing page.
- 25 passwords is a tight free ceiling.
- The VPN is manager-only on Friends & Family.
- Credential Protection has no vault despite sitting at the cheaper price.
- All prices exclude VAT.
Dashlane Alternatives and How It Compares
- 1Password is the closest competitor on polish and family pricing.
- NordPass competes hard on price with a similar feature set.
- LastPass remains widely used, with a longer breach history to weigh.
- Bitwarden is the open-source option, with a free tier far more generous than 25 passwords.
- Keeper and RoboForm round out the category at comparable price points.

The Verdict
Dashlane is a strong password manager, and the interesting thing about its pricing is that the plan it recommends is usually the wrong one. Premium carries the “RECOMMENDED” badge at €4.00 a month for a single user. Friends & Family costs €6.05 a month and covers ten accounts — so two Premium subscriptions (€8.00) already cost more than the entire family plan. The break-even is two people, not the five or six you might assume, and at ten members it works out at €7.26 per person per year against €48. Unless you genuinely have nobody to share with, the family plan is the default choice.
Two things the pricing page does not tell you. A free tier exists — up to 25 passwords, synced across unlimited devices, with autofill, the password generator and breach alerts — but it appears only on a separate page, not among the plans. Twenty-five passwords will not cover most people, so this is a starting point rather than a destination, but it deserves to be on the page. And there is no monthly billing option at all: both personal plans say “Billed annually” with no toggle, so the real entry price is €48 or €72.60 committed up front. The 14-day trial substitutes for the ability to pay month to month.
The business tab needs reading carefully for a different reason. Credential Protection at €4 per user per month is not a password manager. It sits to the left of Password Management at €8, which invites the assumption that it is the cheaper vault — but the comparison table marks it with a dash against Secure Vault, autofill, the password generator, secure sharing, the password health dashboard and SSO/SCIM. It detects and responds to credential risk across your organisation; it does not store credentials. Businesses wanting Dashlane to manage passwords should budget €8 per user per month, plus VAT, and treat the €4 figure as a different product that happens to share a pricing table.
FAQ
How much does Dashlane cost?
On the euro price list captured July 2026, excluding VAT: Premium is €4.00 per month and Friends & Family €6.05 per month for ten members, both billed annually — €48.00 and €72.60 a year respectively. There is no monthly billing option. On the business side, Credential Protection is €4 per user per month, Password Management €8, and Enterprise is quoted.
Is Dashlane Friends & Family worth it?
Almost always, if more than one person will use it. At €6.05 a month for ten accounts it costs less than two Premium subscriptions at €4.00 each, so it pays off from the second user onward. Split across all ten it is €0.61 per person per month — €7.26 a year against Premium’s €48. Members get everything except the VPN, which stays with the plan manager.
Does Dashlane have a free plan?
Yes, though it does not appear on the pricing page. A free Dashlane account covers up to 25 passwords, passkeys, payment details, notes and IDs, synced across an unlimited number of devices, with autofill, the password generator and breach alerts included. The 25-password ceiling is restrictive for most people, but the plan itself is real and permanent rather than a trial.
Can I pay for Dashlane monthly?
No. Both personal plans display “Billed annually” with no option to switch, so Premium commits you to €48 and Friends & Family to €72.60 up front, plus VAT. Dashlane offers a 14-day free trial on Premium instead, which is the only way to use the paid product without an annual commitment.
What is the difference between Dashlane’s €4 and €8 business plans?
They are different products. Password Management at €8 per user per month is the password manager — secure vault, autofill, password generator, secure sharing, password health dashboard, SSO and SCIM. Credential Protection at €4 provides risk detection and response, phishing detection and SIEM integration, and Dashlane’s own comparison table marks it as having none of the vault features. It is not a cheaper version of the same thing.

The security for the password and the auto password generator
sometimes it fills up forms incorrectly. Moreover, sometimes the pop-ups become annoying.
I do not have to remember all the passwords. As a result, I have stronger and versatile passwords. I am no longer using same password and it ensures security
I appreciate how safe this product is. They don't store your master password so if you forget your master password you must reset your whole account. Although this may be frustrating to some it is a very safe approach and for that I am grateful. I forgot my master password and had to do an account reset and while it seemed daunting it was actually very simple.
I don't like how confusing the platform is when you log on for the first time. It is difficult to distinguish where to go and what to do as a new user. A tutorial would be helpful or even just a more simple design approach. I still don't feel like I have understood all of it's functionality completely but I'm hoping that will come with time or tutorial blog posts somewhere out there.
I no longer waste time guessing what my password is or resetting passwords. It has kept me more organized and it is also a safe place to store notes rather than on your phone's notes app. Our company as a whole has felt more organized and more protected.
Dashlane offers a beautifully designed interface that is user friendly while offering important feature like the automatic login of all your accounts, the security dashboard that alerts you in real-time if a security breach is recorded and the emergency contact feature allowing you to set a contact for your most important accounts. The free edition is perfect for any standalone users but if you wish to synch it to your phone it can be quite expensive.
It could improve the response time of their email support.
It is easy to use for everyone and easy to manage when used in a team environment.
You cannot beat the secure password sharing with individuals and groups, and the ability to grant privileges.
The auto-fill functionality is accurate 99% of the time. But on a few websites I visit, it struggles -- this could be due to scripting on the site and the way it's set up though. Also, would be nice to be able to store passwords for non-www based systems. Dashlane won't let you store a password unless there's a legitimate website address associated with it.
Password management. We had passwords to dozens of websites scattered all around. Dashlane has allowed us to *securely* centralize these, and has relieved the burden of remembering complex passwords. I love the fact that I can access both my personal passwords and my business passwords through the same account. Sharing passwords is a breeze. Obviously the folks at Dashlane have put a lot of effort into user testing / UX -- it's just a pleasure to use.
The plugins are built well and easily added to all major browsers. The Software itself is excellent and offers great sharing options as well as Two Factor Authentication. It can be organized to your heart's content and works seamlessly across all devices. This software has literally changed my life!
It can be glitchy for a while when web pages make changes to how you enter passwords on their sites. They are pretty good at keeping up with updates but sometimes even after notifying Dashlane about a problem with a login, it can be a bit before they are able to get it remedied. Pop up forms can be a little problematic as well at times but they are improving compatibility all the time.
Running an ecommerce business with many other users creates a mess of logins that all need to be shared and organized. This allows for multiple levels of sharing and access to each other's logins without needing to share the actual password itself.
As the managing partner of a law firm, security for our clients' files is a top priority. Dashlane gives us the security we need, especially with the alerts to change our passwords when there is a breach, the passwords are too easy, or the same passwords are being used over and over again. I love the feature allowing users to share use of passwords without disclosing the actual password. The secure payment option and saving receipts is a big timesaver as well. As a person with a master's degree in Technology and having worked as a programmer, I have been know to find the bugs in software -- basically, if it can be broken, I tend to break it. I have never broken Dashlane.
Nothing. It's amazing and reliable. The amount of time I save using Dashlane means a lot more billable hours.
Protecting confidential client files and managing employee passwords over several devices and software applications. Dashlane does it all for me!
I like being able to generate passwords that are nearly hack-proof and not have to remember them.
I only wish that when the passwords were saved instead of just adding another entry.
It looks like I have duplicates throughout my passwords list. It would also be nice if there were a "date added" so I could tell which one was the newest.
I like the password generator for temp sites i need to access for downloads
That it does not come as a utility program on operating systems
keeping track of payments and receipts is a breeze now
Dashlane is so easy to use. That's definitely my favorite part. I used to have the same passwords for all of my accounts, but with Dashlane I have unique, complex passwords for each account. It's hard to imagine going back to life without Dashlane.
Not much to dislike. Does what I want it to do.
Keeps all of my accounts safe, whether they are personal or for business! Dashlane makes it easy to use either.
Dashlane is the most efficient, secure way to manage passwords. Synching across devices makes life easy.
I can't think of a single thing I don't like.
Time efficiency is crucial for me. I don't like having to sort through saved passwords that aren't synched up across devices, and Dashlane solves that problem.
Being able to manage your passwords across devices. Using more secure password is safer for our business. Fill out forms correctly and super fast.
Really there is nothing I dislike about dashlane. I guess if I have to have something it would be the security score because it reminds me I have to change things. Also some browsers / websites dont work it is rare but it happens.
Password changes, stronger passwords, this is a great user audit tool.
What I like most about Dashlane is that they are a true life-saver for password security, keeping your information safer than ever and easy to use.
At this time, I must say, that I can't think of anything I don't like per say, but I wish Dashlane had the ability for you to edit their auto generated passwords, to make them more personal and easier to remember, if need be.
I'm solving the ability to store and use all of my passwords and more in one secure place.
The Dashlane user interface is better than any other password manager's user interface, as far as I can tell. I have tried the two major competitors recently, giving them a few days trial (I have used each in the past as my main password manager--I was just trying them again to make sure I was being fair) and after each, I yearned to come back to Dashlane. Dashlane is easier to use, gets in the way far less often, and just "does what I want" more times than not. I can honestly say that I have tried them all, and have come back to Dashlane several times.
The Secure Notes feature in Dashlane is simply not as fully fleshed-out as in some of its competitors. I have requested a feature update on this in the past. I still use a competitor as my storage for all my software passwords, because Dashlane just doesn't do this as well. On the other hand, it does many other things far better than its competitors.
I save massive time and effort both in my own computer use, not having to remember any passwords, and having a unique password for most sites. In addition, my support time is minimized, as even beginners can figure out how to make good use of Dashlane's interface. So I save time and money on both accounts.
Dashlane has brought sanity to my business workflow. Never again do I have to "remember" a quick password or login information that I create for client sites. Dashlane not only creates an incredibly secure (and un-rememberable) password but also stores it for me with a click of a button. Then when I'm ready to bring the client into the setup, Dashlane makes it a breeze for me to share that password and login information to the client without my need of surrendering the security of the password.
I really wish there were a better Chromebook solution but for now the Android app on chromebook and the web-based access work.
One of the struggles I've encountered in business is falling into the trap of thinking I have a super secure password that I've memorized and then use it on all the sites that need a quick password. Dashlane not only eliminates that "crutch" but has a useful "Dashboard" that tells me how my security score is doing, how many sites share the same password, how many passwords are bad passwords, and even alerts me to when a site (like Target or Yahoo) gets hacked and reminds me to change the password. Dashlane Business has solved the problem of being a guiding light of trying to help me get better and more secure with my online presence.
It's easy to use and integrated into the browser and on mobile. Never search for a password or thing to create a strong password. Also great for storing documents, IDs, credit cards, ...
I personally liked the desktop app better than the Chrome extension-only solution. But I suppose it's more secure this way. Sometimes it's also annoying when it tries to full out forms that are not for filling out.
We implemented dashlane with the whole team. Now we can use and share passwords without thinking about it or loosing and valuable information. It's also the secure way.
Onboarding and Offboarding is extremely simple and intuitive, making it easy to implement. Browser based extensions are easy to manage from both an admin and user perspective, encouraging frequent use and adoption. The feature I like the most though is the sharing function, whether a credential, secure note, or payment method
In the Dark Web Insights, once you've taken steps to change passwords or delete compromised emails, there is no way to remove them from your admin report.
Dashlane simplifies password management, increases complexity of passwords and speeds up workflows, by reducing the time required to find and input passwords manually.
Dashlane helps simplify cyber hygiene by making using unique, complex passwords (and even usernames) a snap. Dashlane Starter for Business is the perfect tool for small teams that need to share credentials and improve their security posture. For $20 a month, the 10 licenses are a huge value to simplify saving and sharing credentials, secure notes, and payment info. The affordable price point makes it a very attractive option for those skeptical about moving to a password manager. The Administration console is straightforward and helped make deploying licenses to employees easy. The additional Dark Web monitoring is very insightful.
I wish Dashlane would simplify the process of downloading a monthly billing statement. The inclusion of Passkey support is great, but the section remains hidden until after a user adds their first Passkey. By not showing it as an option, I can see where some people may not know it's an available feature. It's very difficult to access the credentials of past employees once their licensing has been removed from their accounts. The separation of "work" credentials and notes from personal could be much clearer and stronger.
It is helping my team understand that complex passwords are a requirement of doing business, making it easier to do so and sharing safely when needed. The Dahlane Admin console also is helping me know who is taking the initiative seriously and who is not, by showing me the number of passwords each user has and how many are recycled.
We utilize the shared passwords feature for many of our teams which helped us clean up unsecure spreadsheets and other methods of storing passwords.
Utilizing the SSO feature when starting caused existing personal users of Dashlane that were using their work email to have to move any personal accounts and passwords to another Dashlane account so they wouldn't lose those when they left the company. Since users will no longer have access to the account with their business email when they leave, it was a bit of work and scrambling to move all of the non-work related passwords.
Shared passwords, passwords being stored in unsecure locations, passwords being stored in browsers...which are all helping us be a more secure organization.
Dashlane helped us from day 1 share sensitive credentials across different departments and function roles in the business. Out of the box configuration took no time, and we were able to set up a comprehensive SSO set up with fair encryption in under an hour.
It would be nice if the Secure Notes could be better categorized. Currently they are just in an alphabetical list which can make managing them at scale fairly cumbersome.
Creating a sufficiently complex and random password for our services that do not support SSO or for shared service accounts. It is helping us share .env configurations as well.
The synching across devices and the ability to protect passowrds when an employee leaves top the list of great features.
The odd website doesn't like the login process - but you're just a cut and paste away.
Keeps a significant number safe across the web and allows sharing between staff members.
We never have to remember our passwords. We can share login information when necessary. We can segregate passwords according to our roles. Dashlane is avaliable wherever I go!
There is no means of marking favorites so they show up at the top of the list.
We are able to meet compliance requirements.
Auto-generation and storage of passwords across all my platforms. I also like how it reminds me not to re-use passwords and how I can make my passwords more secure
Sometimes the auto-login can get a little buggy if you are signing into a platform where you have multiple accounts (i.e. business & personal)
Dashlane manages all my log-ins and allows me to shared credentials with other users in my organization. Dashlane also allows me to monitor the health of my organization's password security practices.
Allows great sharing of passwords between colleagues AND separation between work and personal spaces.
Integrating Single sign on is a pain to do
Way better than storing passwords in any other form, especially when they need to be shared.
Easy to use, works well, nice UI, pretty reliable, easy to manage
Can be a little buggy. Not as feature-rich as some competitors
Forgotten passwords/password resets are a thing of the past (for the most part) Dashlane is helping us be more secure by using unique passwords
A clever password wallet with a multi platform compatibility. Dashlane is compatible with the new passkey that will sooner replace a lot of passwords, and in a multiplatform way. A clever pricing tag
Well i'm using it for like 10 years now, the start was somehow complicated with some troubles and issues. But now that it is full on web without the heavy client, it works fine, nothing negative here. It's a clever choice
Handling all the passwords for a healthcare IT team
Dashlane's Password Health score is incredible. It displays the strength of your passwords as a percentage, encouraging you to strengthen them for greater security. The Dark Web monitoring feature is particularly amazing, informing you if any data breaches have compromised your personal information. While Dashlane provides a free account, it is limited to one device, making it better suited for exploring the software than for daily use. Dashlane is a good option if you want an easy and secure solution to manage your passwords.
free account option is limited to use on only one device. This restriction can be frustrating for users who require multi-device access without upgrading to a paid plan. But Dashlane is definitely worth considering nonetheless.
Dashlane's auto password filling tool simplifies the process of securely entering into websites and applications. It eliminates the need to remember or input complex passwords by hand, saving time and lowering the risk of using weak or repeating passwords. It is constantly scanning the Dark Web for hacked email addresses linked to your accounts.
Easy, intuitive, continued upgrading, elegant
sometimes the pop up window gets in the way.
I dont want to know my passwords, but want a platform that will know them for me and make them instantly available securely
It works seamlessly on all devices I use. Authentication is very smooth and fast. Adding credentials for a new service is done with just a click if the service is supported.
Sometimes the browser plugin does not seem to work. Also not all apps and websites are supported automatically. In these cases I need to cut and paste usernam and password.
I am able to use distinct and complex passwords for the many services I use without the need to remember the passwords or reuse any. This greatly improves my personal security standards.
- Unique, super strong passwords for all online accounts - Securely share passwords with members of the team - Change shared passwords without needing to tell anyone - Dark web monitoring - Secure notes for extra information
- Not being able to set some admin settings to a new default or make them compulsory - Can't remotely log out other team members - Can't downgrade the subscription ad hoc (would be great to add and remove users throughout the year without having to pay for empty seats)
Having unique super strong passwords for everything, without even needing to know what they are. Signing in to everything with 1 master password is so quick and easy.
Dashlane simply works. We use it for our business passwords, 2FA codes, and firm credit cards, shared across our team. It allows us to use complex passwords and is there when we need it. Address and payment information is auto-populated into forms, reducing mistakes and increasing security.
Occasionally a form won't auto-populate as expected, but that's becoming rarer. Credit card information can't be shared between users.
Almost all of our systems are web-based and we have an obligation to keep client data ultra secure. Dashlane lets us use extremely complex passwords and share them among the team. 2FA codes can be generated in the app and auto-populated adding another layer.
