    There are three points to make. In a nutshell:

    1. You need to buy 1P for Mac and to download 1P for iOS—they are separate products.
    2. You should buy from the Mac App Store if you need to use iCloud to sync your 1P data.
    3. Your 1P data won't be adversely affected if you buy from the Mac App Store.

    I'll elaborate on each of those.

    1P for Mac and 1P for iOS are completely separate products. 1Password is licensed per person and per platform, rather than per device. You can read more about AgileBits' approach to software licensing in this knowledge base article. 1P for iOS is a free download from the App Store accessed from your iOS device—with an in-app purchase to enable pro features. If you make that in-app purchase on one iOS device you can enable the pro features without charge on any other iOS device that uses the same Apple ID.

    As you know you can buy 1P for Mac either from the Mac App Store or direct from the AgileBits store. There are two things to bear in mind:

    • If you ever want to use iCloud to sync 1P data between your Mac and iPhone you must buy 1P from the Mac App Store because the version from the AgileBits store doesn't support iCloud sync (following changes made by Apple on the launch of OS X Yosemite). Both versions support sync of 1P data by either local wifi or Dropbox.
    • If you have owned an earlier version of 1P for Mac you may be entitled to an upgrade discount if you buy from the AgileBits store. That discount won't be available if you buy from the Mac App Store.

    You can read more about the choice in this knowledge base article:

    Should I buy 1Password from the AgileBits Store or the Mac App Store?

    If you decide to buy from the Mac App Store this knowledge base article will reassure you how easy it is to move to that version:
