LastPass is one of the most popular password managers available on all major mobile OSs. And today it's introduced some significant changes to how its freemium app model works.
Up until now, LastPass was free for desktops and laptops, but if user wanted to use it on smartphone or tablet user had to go the Premium route, which costs $12 per year.
From this point on, users will be able to use LastPass for free on the class of device user've signed up on. So, new users who get started on a smartphone will be able to use the app for free, not only on that smartphone, but on any other smartphone they may own - with password syncing between them built-in.
Similarly, if user create account on a tablet, the app will be free to use on all tablets. And if user sign up from a computer, user'll get free use on all computers user have.
If, however, user want to benefit from password syncing between your smartphones, tablets, and computers, then user'll still need to spend the $12 per year and get the Premium plan. This comes with a 14-day free trial.
All of the above applies only to new users. Existing users will see nothing change in the way they are able to take advantage of LastPass. Essentially, existing users are thrown into the "got started on a computer" category, so use (and syncing) between computers is free, while for everything else user need to pay.
LastPass says it's targeting "mobile-only" users with these changes, making it possible for them to use the app for free.
