Pros and cons
LogMeOnce
Pros
- Apps are listed for Windows, Mac and Linux, so one account covers desktop and mobile.
- The family edition is Family edition for 6 family members, $4.99 per month, so a whole household shares one vault and one bill.
- Support runs on email, chat and phone, so a phone call is available as well as email.
Cons
- The feature list is totp and nothing more, so plan inclusions are thin for anyone shopping on features.
- Sharing costs more than the entry point, because Family edition for 6 family members, $4.99 per month is priced above it.
- A free plan is listed, but 59.3% of the brands in this group also offer one, so it is a common baseline rather than a reason to move.
Proton Pass
Pros
- The listed free-plan features include unlimited logins, notes and credit cards, plus unlimited devices.
- The provider lists 10 hide-my-email aliases and passkey support.
- Apps are listed for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux.

Questions about each
LogMeOnce
How much does LogMeOnce cost?+
Paid tiers start at $2.50, which is a floor rather than a term total, so renewal spending is worth checking against the term you want. Across the brands compared here, LogMeOnce sits at 7 of 36 on starting price, and the group median is €9.09.
Is there a free version?+
Yes. A free plan is available, and free and budget places LogMeOnce among the free and budget options on the site. Free plans are not rare in this field, since 59.3% of the password managers listed offer one, so the free tier is a starting point rather than a reason to switch on its own.
What does the paid plan add over the free plan?+
The advertised feature set is short, with totp as the listed entry, and the vault runs on Zero knowledge technology. That is a lean bundle, so readers who sort plans by the length of the feature list should read what the paid tier actually adds before paying.
Proton Pass
Which platforms are listed for Proton Pass apps?+
The provider lists Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux.
