# LastPass Password Manager vs Proton Pass

The clearest difference is rating: Proton Pass at 4.8 against LastPass Password Manager's 4.4. Proton Pass also leads on review sentiment (68% vs 40%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). LastPass Password Manager's advantage is chart position (#81 vs unranked) and ratings volume (57K vs 9K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LastPass Password Manager sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $35.99 per year and Proton Pass sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $35.90 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Proton Pass holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LastPass Password Manager has 57K ratings behind it against 9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of LastPass Password Manager's written reviews are positive against 68% of Proton Pass's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 13, 2026.
