Best for a low-priced password app with a 25-record free plan
SplashID Pro 9 is a password manager for phones, desktops and browsers with a free plan of 25 records on one installation. Sync, sharing and automatic backups need the Pro plan at $29.99 a year, and an older edition and a Teams edition sit alongside it.
Who SplashID is for
- Fits if you want a cheap manager with sync on every device
- Makes sense if you are moving over from SplashID Safe
Who SplashID is not for
- Tight if you keep more than 25 records, as the free plan stops there
- Watch out: sync, sharing and automatic backups all need Pro
- Watch out: the page does not state how much the yearly price saves against monthly
- Skip it if you want a Teams plan, as this listing covers only SplashID Pro 9

Keep SplashID, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace SplashID you would be making a password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 32 of the 49 other password managers grade higher. It costs $29.99 a year.
What you could not
- A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves.
- Files kept in step across devices without losing one.
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. SplashID’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
