If you do choose Dashlane Premium ($59.99 annually), you'll get unlimited device syncing plus 1 GB of secure storage, dark-web monitoring and VPN services provided by Hotspot Shield - which is where the premium price tag comes from. But again, this plan works across only two devices, so if you need password management on your phone, personal computer, work computer and/or tablet, you'd have to upgrade to Premium.

With the $35.99-per-year Dashlane Essentials plan, you get unlimited password sharing, secure notes, a bulk password changer and security features like data-breach alerts and password-health reports. While you do get some security-monitoring capabilities, the fact that there are more full-featured free options available with the likes of Bitwarden and Myki make Dashlane's free offering far less appealing.

There's also a free Dashlane plan, though its functionality is extremely limited - you can store just 50 passwords on a single device. The Essentials option is priced similarly to the 'premium' plans offered by its competitors, but it allows syncing across just two devices.

12 month plan - $4.99 per month ($59.88 total cost) (opens in new tab)ĭashlane has three paid tiers: Essentials ($35.99 per year), Premium ($59.99 per year) and Family ($89.99 per year).
