Both are free to download. Dashlane Password Manager sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Stash Password Manager sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Dashlane Password Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dashlane Password Manager has 107K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Dashlane Password Manager's written reviews are positive against 100% of Stash Password Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
