What justifies the huge subscription price increase?
Today I received an email from 1Password with the message of a price increase.
Current price: €31.80 EUR / year New price: €43.80 EUR / year
This is an enormous price. Can someone from 1Password...
For me, the price went from SEK 40 to 69/month! I mean, really. And when I visit the 1Password site to read more about the reason for this increase I find nothing (until I get here). What I do see everywhere, is Business, Business, Business. I have been a personal, private customer since 2009. And always thought it was worth the price. But this price increase - 72,5% - makes me wonder. Especially as I just retired and desperately need to reduce expenses. Bad move, 1Password. But I guess those business customers make up for it.
1Password gives everybody here the silence treatment. They are in the market with a leading product there is no doubt about that, I am a fan - but quite disappointed and a bit anxious about this current move.
If I was you I would look for a European alternative - Switzerland, all-in -all it should be good to support European tech companies that do a good job - so this might be the right time.
What vendors are from Switzerland?
Perhaps the price increase is to slowly wean their pesky consumer customers away? :-)
Since 1Pwd8 won't even run on my iMac & MBP, I have stayed with 1Pwd7, thus the price increase doesn't affect me. However, I'm not as willing to recommend it until a better clarification for the massive hike is published.
