Start with Dashlane Free if you want to try before you buy, then upgrade to unlimited devices and dark-web monitoring with Dashlane Advanced for US$33 per year or US$3.99 per month.Īccording to Dashlane, Premium is the most popular subscription tier, which costs US$3.99 a month or US$39.96 per year for everything in Dashlane Advanced alongside a virtual private network (VPN), which is a great way to access Hotspot Shield.
