VPN plans and pricing

Every plan is the same service. The only differences are how long the term runs and how many devices can be connected at the same time.

There is no feature tiering here. A one-month subscription reaches exactly the same servers as a twelve-month one.

• Every server in the fleet — no region, location or server is reserved for a higher tier. You can see the whole list, and its live state, on the server status page.
• No activity logs — we do not record what you browse or watch. What we do keep, and for how long, is listed in full on our no-logs page.
• Every device we support — the Android app covers phones, tablets, Android TV boxes and Fire TV devices, and anything with an OpenVPN client can use a downloadable profile.
• Cancellation at any time — you are not locked into the next renewal.

This is the part people most often get wrong, so it is worth being precise. The limit on your plan is the number of devices connected at the same time, not the number of devices you may install the app on. Install it everywhere you like.

A television, a phone and a laptop all connected at once count as three. The same three devices with only the television connected count as one.

If you need to cover a whole household on a small plan, running the VPN on the router is the usual answer — everything behind it is covered by a single connection. That approach, and its trade-offs, is covered on the Fire Stick and Android TV page.

The price shown is the price for the whole term, charged up front and again each time it renews. A six-month plan is one charge every six months, not a monthly instalment. The per-month figure on each card is there only so terms are comparable at a glance.

Renewal is automatic unless you cancel, and it renews at the rate you originally bought. We do not run introductory pricing that jumps at the first renewal — a practice common enough in this industry that it is worth stating plainly that we do not do it.

Payment processing has a fixed cost per transaction, and a subscriber who renews once a year costs us a twelfth of the processing of one who renews monthly. Longer terms also make capacity planning less guesswork. The discount is that saving passed on, not a promotional rate that expires.

If you are not sure the service suits you, start with the shortest term. It costs more per month and that is the honest trade — you are paying for the option to walk away.

Listing this is more useful than another feature table, and it saves you finding out after you have paid.

• No free tier and no trial on retail plans. A free tier is funded by making the paid product worse, and we would rather not.
• No dedicated or static IP address. You share an address with other subscribers, which is part of what makes a VPN worth using.
• No port forwarding.
• No promise about any particular streaming service. We do nothing to defeat a given platform’s VPN detection, and any provider claiming a guarantee there is describing a race they lose regularly. What a VPN changes is who can see your traffic.

If one of those is a dealbreaker, better to know now. What a VPN does and does not do goes through the boundaries in more detail.
