Rankings in Security & Privacy
vpn
- Best VPN
Seven VPNs priced at what they renew at, not what they advertise. Two of them will not tell you what that is. Figures read from vendor pages and dated.
All reviews in Security & Privacy
- 8.5/10
Prints its renewal price on the pricing card, which most of this category never does.
- 8.1/10
One price for a month or a decade, unchanged since 2009, and no affiliate programme.
- 7.9/10
Had its no-logs claim tested by two governments rather than by an auditor.
- 7.9/10
The best apps here, owned by the company that also owns two large VPN review sites.
- 7.8/10
Advertised at $3.49 a month and renewing at $11.59, which is the widest gap here.
- 7.6/10
Unlimited devices, an audit you can read, and a renewal price it will not name.
- 7.4/10
The lowest headline in the comparison, attached to a renewal price it never states.
