In some cases, you can get a free trial of a Dashlane plan or a discount when you sign up. Dashlane offers free trials for students and anyone who gets a friend to sign up for a plan. We also offer a discount for non-profits signing up for Dashlane Starter, Team, or Business plans.
Free trials cancel automatically at the end of the trial period. You'll have Dashlane Free unless you buy a subscription to another Dashlane plan. You don't lose any data saved in Dashlane when the trial ends.
Important: If you get Dashlane Premium for free by referring a friend or through our student trial, your plan doesn't include access to our virtual private network (VPN). Free trial versions of Dashlane have the same features as our Advanced plan.

If you don't see your free trial, contact Customer Support and mention your university email address in your message. We may need to add your university to our list of organizations eligible for the student trial.
Note: Free trial versions of Dashlane Premium don't include access to our virtual private network (VPN). Trial plans have the same features as our Advanced plan.
Free Dashlane trial when you refer a friend
Dashlane customers can invite friends to join Dashlane. If your friend accepts your invitation, you both get six months of Dashlane Premium for free. You can refer up to four people for an additional six months of Premium and earn up to two years of free Premium.
Note: Free trial versions of Dashlane Premium don't include access to our virtual private network (VPN). Trial plans have the same features as our Advanced plan.
If you already have a Dashlane subscription when you make a referral, your six months of free Premium begin at the end of your current subscription period.

Why didn't I get six months of free Premium for my referral?
If you referred a friend but haven't gotten your reward, make sure your friend signed up for Dashlane and used the link you sent them when they created their account. If they didn't use the link, contact us and mention both of your email addresses in your message. You can also send the person you referred another invite to a different email address.
If the person already had a Dashlane account for their email address before you referred them, they're not eligible for the referral program, and you can't get a reward for referring them.
You can only refer four people for a maximum of two years of free Premium. If you've reached the limit already, you won't get free Premium for referring more people.
If you had a problem with your referral that we haven't mentioned, contact us and provide your email address and the email address of the person you referred.
