The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Pro is $29.99 a year, or $2.99 billed monthly, which is the category middle. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free is 25 records on a single installation with no sync, sharing or backups, and a person will hit that. |
| Features | C | Records, extensions and sharing. Sync, sharing and automatic backups are Pro only. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and you set up accounts and extensions first. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows and browser extensions. No web app and no integrations list. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who SplashID is for
- Fits if you want a cheap manager with sync on every device

Who it is not for
- Tight if you keep more than 25 records, as the free plan stops there

- 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 it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
