# Dashlane review: pricing, pros and cons

> Saaskly verdict: **3.3/5**. The polished consumer product that has rebuilt itself as "Omnix" for business: vaults hosted in Dublin with backups in Frankfurt, a French entity as GDPR controller, Confidential SSO in AWS Nitro enclaves, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, an open-source CLI, a read-only API and an MCP server for audit logs. The reasons it is mid-table: dollar pricing only, the vault half of the product at $8 a user on annual billing, no free plan any more, no desktop app, a 30-day cancellation notice that trips people up, and a Trustpilot 2.8 on 6,127 reviews.

*Business per user: the business or teams tier the score is set on, per user per month on annual billing and then month-to-month, in the currency the vendor shows a UK visitor on the research date; see each profile for the VAT basis, the seat minimum and what the tier above adds.

**Owned in: where the company that owns the provider answers to. A US-owned provider is subject to US law (including the CLOUD Act) wherever the vault is stored; with a zero-knowledge design the vendor cannot read the vault either way, so this column is about the company, not the encryption. "Data location" records where the encrypted vault is stored.

## Our review

Dashlane operates through Dashlane, Inc. in New York and Dashlane SAS in Paris, the French company that is the GDPR data controller, and it is the only US-headquartered provider here whose production vaults sit in Europe: AWS Dublin, with backups in Frankfurt, and US residency promised for enterprise customers from summer 2026. The vault uses AES-256-CBC with HMAC and Argon2d key derivation, the trust centre shows ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type II with the reports behind a request form, and the bug bounty runs on Intigriti. Confidential SSO is a genuine engineering distinction: the vault key for an SSO user is derived inside an AWS Nitro enclave with no admin access and wiped afterwards, so the identity provider never becomes a back door. The Android, Apple and browser-extension apps and the command-line tool are open source; the server is not, and there is no self-hosting. No breach of Dashlane's own systems is on the record; the 2025 extension clickjacking class was patched in August.

Prices in US dollars on 8 September 2026; our UK visit found no pound page and no tax statement. Premium is $5.42 a month on annual billing with a VPN for one device, dark-web monitoring and 1 GB of notes; Friends and Family is $8.13 a month for ten people. We found no permanent free plan on the current pricing page, only 14-day trials. Business is now "Dashlane Omnix" in two halves: Password Management at $8 a user a month billed annually, which is the vault, autofill, collections, admin policies, SSO and SCIM; and Credential Protection at $4, which detects phishing and credential risk in the browser even for staff who never open the vault; Enterprise bundles both for companies over fifty seats at a custom price. Only Password Management has a self-serve trial, there is no monthly billing, and a recurring Trustpilot complaint, dated July 2026, is that a business subscription needs thirty days' notice to cancel through a support-reviewed request in the admin console or it renews for a year.

The product runs as a browser extension and mobile apps rather than a desktop application, which suits some teams and annoys others. Passkeys are stored, a separate Dashlane Authenticator app handles TOTP, and hardware keys are listed for business. Developers get the open-source dcli tool for secrets in scripts and CI, a GitHub Action, a VS Code extension, a read-only public API with OpenAPI docs, and an MCP server that lets an agent query the business audit log, not the vault. Support is email seven days a week with chat and phone on business tiers, and no published SLA. Trustpilot is 2.8 on 6,127 reviews: 74% five-star, most of them old, with the recent unprompted reviews about the cancellation process, a chatbot where a human should be, and Mac autofill dragging the weighted score down.

*Not yet tested by Saaskly: assessed on published pricing, documentation, audit reports and third-party reviews.*
