#8 of 10 password managers
Facts checked 8 Oct 2026

Dashlane discontinued its Free plan on September 16, 2025, and gave former free users until September 16, 2026 to upgrade or export4.

In short

Dashlane suits people who mostly work in a browser and want unlimited devices, sharing and a VPN in one subscription3,5. The vault is encrypted and decrypted only on your devices7. The catch: it is now paid-only at $64.99 a year, it has no Windows app, and its emergency contact feature was retired1,4,13,15.

Best for: People who live in the browser and want a VPN bundled with their password manager.
