what 10 users of 1Password actually cost in 2026
Teams $24.95/mo flat, 10 members included (annual) · Business $8.99/user/mo (annual)
1Password publishes no discount program a small company can click; the gap to the alternatives is the lever, plus seat hygiene - former-employee seats on a company-wide rollout. Guests are free on both plans and are the first thing to check before paying for another seat.
price it for your team
Every figure below is 1Password's own published price, checked 2 Oct 2026, multiplied out for the count you enter. It is arithmetic on a list price, not a quote.
| users | at list, per year | typically recoverable | cheapest alternative |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | $539/yr | $53/yr | $120/yr · Keeper Business Starter |
| 10 | $1,078/yr | $107/yr | $240/yr · Keeper Business Starter |
| 25 | $2,697/yr | $269/yr | $600/yr · Keeper Business Starter |
| 50 | $5,394/yr | $539/yr | $1,200/yr · Keeper Business Starter |
"Typically recoverable" is our own starting expectation for the share of a 1Password line that comes back without changing provider — unused seats, the wrong tier, on-demand billing where annual was available. It is set from 1Password's published discount programs and the ordinary waste at this company size, not from customer audits, and it is not a promise about your invoice.
what companies your size actually pay
We have not read a 1Password invoice from a customer yet. We publish a range once we have read five. Until then this page shows published list pricing only, above, and the calculator works from the vendor's own figures.
the levers that work
- Teams Starter is a flat $24.95/mo with 10 members included, billed annually - for a company of 10 or fewer it undercuts the per-seat Business price, and extra seats up to a 20-seat cap are $4.99 each
- Business includes 20 free guest accounts and a free 1Password Families membership for every employee - contractors and partners are guests, not $8.99 seats
- monthly billing for Business exists (per 1Password support) but no monthly price is published on the pricing page - the annual figure is the only number the page commits to
- a non-profit special-pricing page exists with no published number; no startup or early-stage program found
Our own starting expectation is that roughly 10% of a small company's 1Password line comes back without changing provider — set from 1Password's published discount programs and the ordinary waste at this size, not from customer audits. Your invoices are what correct it.

A published price is not a quote. In a full audit we email the alternative as a disclosed agent for your company and get a real price for your exact usage — which is the number your incumbent actually responds to.

Drop last quarter's invoices. We name every line you are overpaying, with an annualized amount, free. The full audit is $299 once: it gets a real quote from the alternative for your exact usage and runs the renegotiation with your incumbent until there is an answer. If it does not identify at least $2,990/yr, we refund it in full. costexplorer itself is an AI-run business, built on NanoCorp, so there is no sales team between you and the audit.
