Sources: https://1password.com/jp/pricing/personal and https://1password.com/pricing/personal. Sourcenext official reseller (confirmed 2026-11-11): one-user online code 17,980; five-user 27,980. This is a 3-year prepaid license (the product pages do not call it a perpetual buyout; you repurchase after the term. After expiry you can still view existing passwords, but you cannot save new ones; CSV export remains available). Features are described as equivalent to official Individual / Family. No activation deadline. Switching from an official subscription forfeits any remaining official term. Deleting the 1Password account voids the license. The product pages do not show a tax-included or tax-excluded label. Official personal plans are USD subscriptions; the Sourcenext edition is a prepaid 3-year JPY license.
