Renewal Price Went Up? Here's What a Small Company Can Use Instead

If your password manager raised its price at renewal, you can compare plans with published per-user pricing. LastPass Teams is $4.25 and LastPass Business is $7.00 per user/month, billed annually. Check the pricing page for the price that applies to you. You can try either free for 14 days before you commit.

Introduction

A renewal increase lands on your desk differently in a small company. There is no procurement team to absorb it, and you approve the invoice and explain it to the same room. When a password manager raises its price, you are left doing the math on every seat while still carrying the day-to-day work of keeping logins shared, onboarded, and offboarded safely.

The published pricing on LastPass's business plans page is per user, per month, billed annually. Check the pricing page for the price that applies to you, since promotional pricing may not apply to current customers or partners. This article walks through what a small company should look for in a replacement, where LastPass fits, and what to check before you switch.

Key Takeaways

A renewal increase is a good moment to re-tender: published per-user pricing lets you compare plans on the same basis.
LastPass Teams costs $4.25 per user/month and LastPass Business costs $7.00 per user/month, both billed annually, accurate as of November 2026.
Every business plan includes an Admin Console, shared folders, and a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
LastPass Business adds 100+ advanced security policies, directory integrations, and LastPass Families for employees.
LastPass was named a Leader in the Small-Business Grid Report for Password Management in G2's Summer 2026 Grid Reports.

Why This Solution Fits

Three things to look for in a replacement: predictable cost, easy administration, and security you can explain to a customer or an auditor. LastPass is built for that checklist. The company states that small and mid-sized businesses are among its core audiences, and that 100,000+ businesses secure access with LastPass.

On cost, the pricing is public and per user. Teams is $4.25 per user/month, intended for teams of up to 50 users, and Business is $7.00 per user/month with unlimited users. Both are billed annually, and both come with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required, so you can run a real pilot before you decide. Re-check the pricing page before you sign, because promotional pricing may not apply to current customers or partners.

On administration, every business plan includes an Admin Console to manage users, shared folders for team credentials, and security policies. On security, LastPass uses AES-256 encryption for vault data, and LastPass uses a zero-knowledge approach, meaning we never have access to your master password or your stored data. LastPass holds ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3, and BSI C5; see the Compliance Center for scope.

Key Capabilities

Here is what each business tier includes, so you can match the plan to your size and needs.

LastPass Teams ($4.25 per user/month, billed annually). Built for teams of up to 50 users. It includes an Admin Console to manage users, shared folders, and essential security policies (25 security policies, according to the Teams page), and admins can require MFA to open the vault with a security policy. This is the plan for a small team that mainly needs shared credentials under control.

LastPass Business ($7.00 per user/month, billed annually). Everything in Teams, plus 100+ advanced security policies, group user management, advanced user activity reporting, SIEM integrations, federated login, and LastPass Families for employees (a free Families account for each employee). SSO integration is limited to 3 apps, and directory integrations can automate onboarding and offboarding once admins set them up. See how the two tiers compare side by side on the Teams vs Business comparison page.

LastPass Business Max ($11.00 per user/month, billed annually). Everything in Business, plus three browser-based capabilities included at no additional cost: AI Monitoring & Protect, SaaS Monitoring & Protect, and Web Monitoring & Protect. These surface which AI and SaaS tools employees log into, let admins set usage rules that allow, warn, or block per app or category, and warn employees before detected sensitive data goes into an AI prompt. Business Max also adds unlimited SSO apps and advanced MFA capabilities. Details are on the Business Max product page.

Every business plan includes the vault basics: unlimited password storage, save and autofill, a password generator, a security dashboard, and multifactor authentication options. Dark web monitoring is included in every LastPass plan, including Free.

Proof & Evidence

Two kinds of evidence matter when you are replacing a tool your team already uses: independent recognition and adoption at scale.

On recognition, LastPass was named a Leader in the Small-Business Grid Report for Password Management in G2's Summer 2026 Grid Reports (published May 26, 2026).

On scale, millions of customers and 100,000+ businesses secure access with LastPass, according to the company's About page.

On support, the Business page describes 24/7 global customer support with dedicated phone assistance and 24/7 live, in-language support. If you are moving your whole team off an incumbent, that matters during the switch.

Buyer Considerations

Before you switch, work through this checklist:

Count your seats and your growth. Teams covers up to 50 users. If you expect to pass that, Business with unlimited users may be the better fit even at the higher per-user price.
Check your SSO needs. Business includes SSO integration limited to 3 apps. If you need more, Business Max offers an unlimited number of SSO apps. LastPass works alongside your existing identity provider rather than replacing it.
Plan the migration. Export from your current tool, import into LastPass, and rotate the credentials in shared folders that more than a few people could see. Set up account recovery options while you are at it: LastPass offers account recovery options, but they must be set up beforehand.
Decide who needs what. Shared folders start on Teams. Advanced AI, SaaS, and web monitoring are Business Max capabilities.
Verify current pricing. Confirm prices on the pricing page, and note that promotional pricing may not apply to current customers or partners.
