I was not terribly alarmed with the pricing, and am pleased with the fact that a home license is included with each business license. I think that the price of LastPass is a fair value, considering its ability to ensure that our employees' credentials remain secure. We're going to try and buy things as inexpensively as we possibly can, but I don't know that I was terribly put off or surprised at the fees being charged. We do have other products that I've looked at and thought that there's no way that the product is worth that. In the case of LastPass, however, we aren't disappointed with the cost. They had told us that they were going to change the program a little bit, such that it would include a home user license with each business license. For me and the people at my company, that was very attractive. Having LastPass at home seems like an advantage from a selfish standpoint, although it is better than that because the habits that you get into at home will carry over to the business. It reinforces the use of LastPass at work if people are using it at home. From a company standpoint, it makes us more secure, but from a practical standpoint, it's going to make the home user also more secure. It's a win-win.
In terms of pricing, my feeling is that they are all roughly the same. LastPass is in line with its competitors, plus or minute a dollar or two per month. Personally, I was quite insensitive with respect to pricing. I was more concerned with the reputation of the company and the friendliness of the interface, or the way the product has been designed. We have an annual subscription that we access and update directly on their website.
LastPass was cheap as chips. It was very cheap, hence one of the reasons we went with it. If you're a small organization and you're after something that'll do 90% of your requirements, it's very good. Licensing and all that was really cheap and simple to understand.
It would be nice to do a quarterly true-up process with them versus having to buy 50 licenses at a time when we realize we're out, then we have to buy more. So far, they have been nice about letting us exceed our allotment and just letting us true-up on our own, but a more robust quarterly true-up process would be good. The pricing and licensing are okay. Basically, at the last contract negotiation, they attempted to jack the rate up and we just said, "No." We still did negotiations with them, but they bumped everything up quite a bit. I understand that we are old clients and were paying an older rate, but it was something that we would never do to one of our customers. We would work with a customer to move them up to the new standard rate, but not all in one year. Therefore, we were miffed at how much they wanted to bump up the price right away. They came back and were reasonable in the end. However, it was all sort of shocking.
The previous pricing was of good value. I don't really know, as of now, whether the new pricing is. The Enterprise license is $48 per license per year now. That is a steep increase of $24, which is what it was when we first signed up. We have roughly 200 licenses so that double price definitely adds up pretty quickly.

Licensing costs are annual.
The subscription model is rated at a fair price.

You do not have to purchase licenses for your entire organization. You can scale as adoption grows.
