NordPass alternatives for when the free plan stops at one device

If NordPass Free stops you at one device, pick Bitwarden Free or Proton Free. Both run on unlimited devices and cost $0.

The NordPass plans page lists access on multiple devices as not included on its Free plan.

NordPass also set June 15, 2026 as the end of support for iOS 15, iOS 16, and older Android app versions, per its support page.

NordPass Premium costs $23.88 for the first 12 months on the one-year view of its plans page.

The page shows no price for the years after that.

Short answer

• Bitwarden: free on unlimited devices. Premium costs $19.80 for the year.

• Proton Pass: free on unlimited devices. Plus shows $2.99 a month with yearly billing, which is $35.88 for the year.

• 1Password: no free plan. It costs $47.88 for the year at list price, or $35.88 in year one with the new customer deal.

Why do people leave NordPass?

Four reasons show up on NordPass's own pages and in its reviews.

• The free plan covers 1 user account. Access on multiple devices, Password Health, Data Breach Scanner, and File Attachments are not included.

• The price after the first term. The one-year view shows $1.99 a month, with $35.88 struck through and $23.88 for the first 12 months.

  The two-year view shows $37.53 for the first 27 months. Neither view shows a price for later terms.

• Older devices. The next section covers the June 15, 2026 cutoff.

• Login steps. An August 2026 review on Trustpilot describes a double login on Linux, the Nord account first and then the vault password.

  The same reviewer reports a browser extension overlay that stayed frozen after signing in with Windows Hello on Windows, and says NordPass support replied that it could not reproduce the problem.

Here is NordPass's pricing table as of November 5, 2026.

Does NordPass still work on an old phone?

NordPass set June 15, 2026 as the end of support for iOS 15, iOS 16, older Android app versions, and desktop app version 5.29.

Its support page tells iPhone users to "Update your device to iOS 18 or later." An iPhone that cannot run iOS 18 falls outside that list.

The same page names the app versions to install:

• iOS: NordPass 4.9.0 or newer.

• Android: NordPass 5.8.0 or newer.

• Desktop app: NordPass 7.1.0 or newer on Windows, macOS, Apple Silicon macOS, and Linux.

The page says that without an update, you can only use NordPass on supported devices. It also asks you to know your master password and keep your recovery codes safe first.

The pricing pages of the tools below list no minimum iOS or Android version. Check the App Store listing for your phone before you pay.
