## About

1Password is a cloud-based password manager for teams and businesses built by AgileBits Inc., founded in 2005 in Toronto by Dave Teare and Roustem Karimov. The product stores, autofills, and audits passwords and secrets across web browsers, desktop apps, and mobile devices, and extends into developer tooling via SSH key management and secret scanning. The business edition adds centralized admin controls, provisioning via SCIM, and policy enforcement across teams of any size. 1Password raised a $620M Series C in January 2022 at a $6.8B valuation, bringing total funding to roughly $920M. It employs around 700 people and remains privately held.

## Ratings

| Capterra | 4.8/5 | 2,100 |
| Gartner Peer Insights | 4.6/5 | 85 |

## Funding

~$920M across 3 institutional rounds (2019-2022)

| Round | Amount | Date | Lead |
|---|---|---|---|
| Series A | $200M | Nov 2019 | Accel |
| Series B | $100M | Jan 2021 | Accel, Slack Fund |
| Series C | $620M | Jan 2022 | ICONIQ Growth, Tiger Global, Lightspeed, Accel |

## Viability

Low risk. 1Password is one of the best-funded private companies in the security software space, having raised ~$920M at a $6.8B valuation in its January 2022 Series C. The company has been profitable in prior years and has a broad customer base spanning SMBs to Fortune 500 enterprises. The product has been in market since 2005 and has a strong reputation among security-conscious teams. The primary watch-item is the path to a potential IPO or exit, which at this valuation requires sustained revenue growth; no public financial disclosures are available.

## Pricing

1Password's Teams plan at $19.95/mo flat is a reasonable entry point for very small groups, but most businesses land on the Business plan at $7.99/user/mo. That number scales linearly with headcount, so a 50-person team is looking at roughly $400/mo billed annually before any Enterprise add-ons. Enterprise pricing is custom and typically includes negotiated volume discounts, dedicated support, and the Extended Access Management features. Compare the per-user cost against Bitwarden's $5/user/mo Enterprise tier if budget is a constraint.

| Plan | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Teams | $19.95/mo flat | Up to 10 users; shared vaults, admin controls, 1GB document storage per person |
| Business | $7.99/user/mo (billed annually) | Unlimited users; SCIM, SSO, custom security policies, 5GB document storage, 20 guest accounts |
| Enterprise | Custom | Large orgs; custom contract, dedicated onboarding, SIEM integration, Extended Access Management |

## What reviewers say

_~1,500 G2 reviews at 4.7/5 and ~2,100 Capterra reviews at 4.8/5 (96% positive sentiment)_

**Praised:**
- Ease of use is the most-cited strength: reviewers consistently describe setup as fast and autofill as reliable across browsers, desktop, and mobile without configuration headaches
- The Watchtower feature, which flags reused, weak, and breached passwords, is frequently called out as a genuine security value-add rather than a checkbox feature
- Admin controls for team deployments get high marks, particularly vault access policies, user provisioning via SCIM, and the audit log depth on Business and Enterprise plans

**Complaints:**
- Pricing is the most common friction point, especially for smaller teams: the per-user cost on Business plans adds up quickly compared to open-source alternatives like Bitwarden
- Browser extension behavior can be inconsistent on certain sites, with autofill failing to trigger or popping up in the wrong fields, a recurring complaint across G2 and Capterra
- The guest and family sharing model confuses some business admins who want a simple way to extend access to contractors without consuming a full paid seat

## Compliance

- **SOC 2:** Yes (SOC 2 Type II)
- **GDPR:** Yes
- **HIPAA:** Business Associate Agreement available on Enterprise
- **SSO:** Yes (SSO on Business and Enterprise via SAML 2.0)

## FAQs

### Does 1Password have a free plan?

No. 1Password does not offer a permanent free tier for individuals or teams. There is a 14-day free trial on the Teams and Business plans. Personal use is available at $2.99/mo (individual) or $4.99/mo (family plan for up to 5 people), billed annually. If you need a free business-grade option, Bitwarden's Teams plan at $3/user/mo or its free personal tier are worth comparing.

### How much does 1Password cost for a business?

The Teams plan is a flat $19.95/mo for up to 10 users. The Business plan is $7.99/user/mo billed annually, so a 25-person team costs roughly $200/mo. Enterprise pricing is negotiated. All business plans are billed annually; no confirmed monthly billing option for team plans.

### Is 1Password zero-knowledge?

Yes. 1Password uses a zero-knowledge architecture: your data is encrypted locally with AES-256 before it leaves your device, and 1Password cannot decrypt it. The system adds a Secret Key (a 128-bit random string stored only on your devices) to your account password as a second encryption factor, meaning a server-side breach does not expose vault data.

### Is 1Password SOC 2 and GDPR compliant?

Yes. 1Password holds SOC 2 Type II certification and is GDPR compliant. Business Associate Agreements for HIPAA are available on Enterprise. SSO via SAML 2.0 (Okta, Azure AD, and others) is supported on Business and Enterprise plans.

### Who is 1Password best for?

1Password is a strong choice for mid-market and enterprise IT teams that want a polished, auditable password manager with mature SCIM provisioning, SSO, and a developer-friendly secrets management layer. SMBs with a smaller budget often find Bitwarden's pricing more attractive for equivalent core functionality. Security-conscious engineering teams in particular value 1Password's SSH key management and CI/CD secrets injection.
