How we compiled this
Published self-serve pricing was collected from each provider's own pricing page on the accessed date; 1Password, Bitwarden and Keeper rendered live USD prices that were read directly, while NordPass, Proton Pass, Dashlane, RoboForm and LastPass render prices behind a JavaScript region/term selector or returned 403/404, so their figures were corroborated against dedicated 2026 pricing-review sources. Personal/Premium and Family tiers are flat per-account; business tiers are per-seat with the per-user price recorded in monthlyUsd and noted; quote-only (contact-sales) tiers are recorded with monthlyUsd null. Minutes/calls/overage fields are null throughout because they do not apply to password managers.
