Updated: 2026-10-06

As of October 2026, 1Password Families is $4.49 a month billed yearly ($53.88) as a first-year promotional price for new customers, and the regular price is $5.99 a month ($71.88 a year). Divided across the 5 users the plan includes, that is about $0.90 a month each at the promotional price and $1.20 at the regular price.

Key points:
- Families is $4.49 a month billed yearly for new customers in year one and $5.99 regular, as of October 2026. That is $53.88 or $71.88 a year.
- The jump from the promotional price to the regular price is $18.00 a year, so budget on $71.88 and not on $53.88.
- Split five ways, Families is about $0.90 a month each at the promotional price and $1.20 at the regular price.
- Families costs less than separate Individual plans from two people up, at either price.

## What does 1Password Families cost?

As of October 2026, 1Password Families is $4.49 a month billed yearly, and that is a first-year promotional price for new customers who subscribe on 1Password.com. The regular price, shown crossed out beside it, is $5.99 a month. Billed yearly, that comes to $53.88 in the first year and $71.88 at the regular price.

The Individual plan follows the same pattern. 1Password lists it at $2.99 a month in the promotion and $3.99 regular. It also lists a 14-day trial. All prices here are US dollars before tax.

| Plan | First year, promotional | Regular price |
|---|---|---|
| Individual | $2.99 a month, $35.88 a year | $3.99 a month, $47.88 a year |
| Families | $4.49 a month, $53.88 a year | $5.99 a month, $71.88 a year |

## How much is that per person?

Divide by the 5 users the plan includes. At the promotional price, $4.49 divided by 5 is $0.898, which rounds to $0.90 a month each. At the regular price, $5.99 divided by 5 is $1.198, which rounds to $1.20 a month each. Over a year, the same split is $10.78 each at $53.88 and $14.38 each at $71.88.

These figures are plain division. They are not prices that 1Password charges anyone, and they assume every seat is filled. A family that fills fewer seats pays more per person, because the plan price stays the same.

The yearly cost per person falls from $26.94 with two people to $10.78 with five at the promotional price.

| People sharing | Promotional, $53.88 a year | Regular, $71.88 a year |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | $26.94 | $35.94 |
| 3 | $17.96 | $23.96 |
| 4 | $13.47 | $17.97 |
| 5 | $10.78 | $14.38 |

## Does "5 users" include the person who pays?

1Password's wording is mixed on this. The Families page says "Includes 5 users" and, in another place, "Invite up to 5 family members". Its FAQ says up to five people get their own accounts and private vaults. Those lines can be read as five seats in total or as five invitees on top of the organizer.

This page divides by 5 because it gives the higher per-person figure, which is the safer number to quote to a family. If you are planning for six people, confirm the seat count with 1Password before you ask anyone to pay.

## When is Families cheaper than Individual plans?

From two people up. At the promotional prices, two Individual plans cost 2 × $35.88 = $71.76 a year, against $53.88 for Families. At the regular prices, two Individual plans cost 2 × $47.88 = $95.76, against $71.88. A person on their own pays less on Individual: $35.88 a year against $53.88 at the promotional prices.

## What changes at renewal?

Because $4.49 is a first-year price, plan on the regular $5.99 from the second year. The gap is $71.88 minus $53.88, which is $18.00 a year. Shared five ways, that is $3.60 more each. Shared four ways, it is $4.50 more each.

Tell the family the regular-price number from the start. Someone who agreed to $10.78 and is asked for $14.38 a year later will feel the change, while someone who agreed to $14.38 at the beginning will not.

## How do you split the bill in practice?

1. **Count the seats in use.** Use the number of people who will actually have an account, not the number the plan allows.
2. **Divide the regular price by that number.** For four people, $71.88 divided by 4 is $17.97 a year each. The [shared plan cost per person calculator](https://www.evenoutapp.com/tools/shared-plan-cost-per-person-calculator) does the division for any price and head count.
3. **Pay the bill once and record who owes what.** The organizer pays 1Password, and each person owes their share back to the organizer.
4. **Check the amount when the plan renews.** If the new charge is higher than the amount you recorded, the shares need to change with it.

In EvenOut, the organizer adds the yearly charge as an expense paid by them, split equally among the people on the plan, with "Repeat" set to "Yearly". EvenOut then adds each year's expense automatically. If the renewal price is higher than the amount you saved, use "Stop repeating" (expenses already added stay) and set up a new yearly expense at the new amount.

## What to do next

Decide the seat count first, then quote the regular-price share to everyone, since that is the number to plan on from the second year.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can someone who already has a 1Password account get the $4.49 price?

1Password's footnote limits the promotional price to new customers who subscribe directly on 1Password.com with annual billing, for the first year. If you already have a 1Password account, plan on the regular $5.99 a month ($71.88 a year) and treat a lower figure at checkout as a bonus.

### Does 1Password Families have a trial?

As of October 2026, 1Password lists a 14-day trial. Wait until the first yearly charge has gone through before you collect from the family, so the amount you ask for is the amount you were billed.

### Do these prices include tax?

No. The figures are US dollars from 1Password's US pages, before tax, so the charge on your card can be higher. Prices in other countries are not covered here.

### Is it better to collect the family's share once a year or every month?

1Password bills once a year, so the organizer pays the whole amount up front. Collecting each person's yearly share ($10.78 to $14.38 for five people) clears it in one step. Collecting about $0.90 to $1.20 a month keeps payments small but means tracking a balance for 12 months.
