Paying options and pro features

Trying to decide how to proceed. I have 1PW on on iphone and ipad and it syncs across the two platforms. I downloaded 1PW onto my MAC and it synced with the other apps and then I went away and when I came back it had expired. I did not realize it was a trial so never got to test it out. I believe I downloaded it from the agilebits website page. Questions: If I pay $64 license fee, will that give me access to 1 pW across all 3 platforms? iphone, ipad and computer. and will I have access to multiple vaults and pro features.? What do I get with the License? If I pay $9.99 on mobile for pro version, does that work with the MAC, also ---What does pro feature give me. Are these both one time fees? If MAC moves to new operating system, will I have to get a new license to upgrade? If I don't, what happens? If that is case, may want to wait. Are additional passwords needed for the vaults in the pro feature?

    Hi @syl,

    Thanks for asking about this.

    Why a 1Password subscription?

    It's easier to manage a single subscription than it is to keep track of individual licenses across different platforms and version upgrades. The subscription model also allows us to build in features and services that wouldn't be feasible in the standalone apps, like central hosting and vault management.

    If you have a 1Password account:

    • Get all the 1Password apps for free. No matter which plan you choose, you (and every member of your family or team plan) always has free access to the latest versions of all the 1Password apps. Learn more about all the features included with a 1Password account.
    • Share and sync without the need of a third-party sync service. Setting up syncing with Dropbox can be confusing for some folks. With a 1Password account, simply sign in and all your data is there.
    • New vaults automatically show up for family and team members. When you create a new vault, you can add others in your plan to it automatically. They don’t need to do anything to see it and begin using it on their end.
    • Set permissions for each person on each vault. Some passwords can be set to read-only, for example.
    • Recover accounts if a family or team member forgets their Master Password. I mentioned this above, but this is a huge one and bears repeating. We have always prided ourselves on our security model which has no back door. While we still can’t recover anyone’s accounts, you can now recover accounts for your family and team members.
    • View, edit, and add items from any browser. You’ll always have access to your data on 1Password.com, even if you're away from your main devices.
    • Access your data even if you stop paying. Your data is yours. Even if you ever cancel your subscription, you can always view and export your data.

    What about a standalone license?

    All that said, lots of people simply want to buy an app once and start using it. We totally get that. And that's why we have no plans to stop providing the 1Password apps for individual purchase. We're going to keep supporting anyone who chooses to use the apps that way, and the individual apps will continue to see new features and developments provided in free updates.

    If you purchase a 1Password single version license instead of a subscription:

    • Get updates for the version your purchased. For example, if you buy now, you’ll get all updates to 1Password 6 for Mac. 1Password 7 for Mac will require a separate purchase.
    • Pro features on mobile devices available as a separate purchase.
    • Sync your data yourself. Use iCloud, Dropbox, or WLAN Server on your local network.

    And you’ll get the same helpful, one-on-one support from us. :)

    If you have any additional questions, don’t hesitate to let us know.
