1Password

1Password is a password manager for individuals, families and business teams: one encrypted vault per person, shared vaults per team, and browser extensions and apps that fill logins so staff stop reusing passwords. For a small business the one thing to know is that the Teams plan is a flat bundle for up to ten users, which keeps the first step cheap.

Where does 1Password fit for a 10-person team?

• Pricing: Individual about $2.99/mo; Teams about $19.95/mo for 10 users; Business about $7.99 per user per month (1Password pricing, August 2026). There is no free plan, only a trial.
• The Business plan includes a free family account for each employee, which helps adoption because staff use the same tool at home.
• Shared vaults, guest access and admin controls cover the usual small-company jobs: onboarding, offboarding and shared service logins.
• Replacing a shared spreadsheet of passwords is a cheap, measurable way to reduce breach risk, which is why it sits in our Cybersecurity & IT category.

Who should skip it

Teams that want a free tier should look elsewhere; 1Password does not offer one. Businesses already standardised on a suite whose built-in password tools they trust may not see enough extra value to pay per seat.
