Dashlane vs Proton Pass: price‑point showdown for password managers

Published Pricing verified

Dashlane's Password Management plan is $8/month per user, billed annually — and that's specifically its business/team pricing, not a consumer plan. Proton Pass, by contrast, prices for individuals and families: Free at EUR 0/month, Pass Plus at EUR 4.99/month, Pass Family at EUR 6.99/month for six accounts, and Proton Unlimited (bundling Pass with Mail and Calendar) at EUR 12.99/month. Comparing them directly only makes sense if you're specifically evaluating Dashlane for a team — for an individual, Proton Pass's own consumer tiers are the fairer comparison point, and Dashlane doesn't publish a distinct low-cost solo-user price alongside its business plan.

The money goes where it matters: Dashlane's $8/month covers a business seat's vault and autofill engine, with Credential Protection layered on top as a separate $4/month-per-user add-on for dark-web monitoring and phishing-risk detection. A fully-loaded Dashlane business seat runs $12/month per user. Proton Pass's pricing is tiered by feature set for individuals and families — the Free tier covers the basics, and each paid tier adds privacy-centric tools Proton positions as part of a broader ecosystem, not a per-seat business product.

If you're a solo user, Proton Pass's own ladder — Free up to Pass Plus at EUR 4.99/month — is the more relevant comparison than Dashlane's business pricing, and both are meaningfully cheaper than a Dashlane business seat. If you value integrated privacy tools, need family sharing, or already use Proton's mail and calendar, Pass Family at EUR 6.99/month or the all-inclusive Proton Unlimited at EUR 12.99/month are strong options in their own right.

For a team specifically evaluating Dashlane, budget for $8/month per user at minimum, $12/month if you add Credential Protection — and note that Proton doesn't publish a clear, comparable business tier of its own, so this isn't a clean apples-to-apples matchup at the team level either.

Pick Dashlane if you specifically need its business-grade credential and dark-web monitoring tools and are pricing for a team. Choose Proton Pass if you're an individual or family wanting a privacy-first vault, and you're comfortable paying in euros. Pricing verified on 2026-09-17.
