| Bottom line | From its public pages, 1Password Business has the broadest certification list and the only listed monthly price here, at the highest figure for 25 users with SSO. Its lower score reflects price, gated current pentest reports and no self-hosting. | From its public pages, Dashlane is the simplest buy for SSO: one self-serve plan at $8 a user includes it. Plan around annual-only billing and audit reports that need an access request. |
