There's a five-user minimum, but you'll pay just $3 each, billed monthly, for access to the full and unrestricted service. Surfshark's monthly-billed plan is more than four times as expensive at $13, for instance – okay, that's the full service with all the locations, but if you don't need them, who cares?Īnother option, ScribeForce, enables signing up a group of users (a business, a family) with the same account. If you only use a VPN for occasional short trips, say, that looks like a great deal.

You can upgrade to unlimited data for another $1, or a total of just $3 a month, billed monthly (not just $3 because you've signed up for three years). Add the US and UK locations, and you'll get 30GB of data for $2 a month.

Each location adds 10GB to your free bandwidth allowance, and your plan must have a minimum of two locations.įor example, providing your email address gets you 10GB data a month. Windscribe's ' Build a Plan' scheme cuts costs by allowing you to buy only the locations you need, for $1 each. Hand over $69 to Windscribe and you get one year of protection give Ivacy just $72 and you’re covered for five.īut that’s not the end of the story. Sure, we don't like long-term contracts either, but look at the totals. As we write this, Private Internet Access has a three-year plan that’s only $2.03 a month for the first term, while Ivacy’s five-year offering is only $1.19 monthly. If low prices are top of your priority list, though, there’s money to be saved elsewhere. (ExpressVPN and both ask $8.32 a month on the annual plan, NordVPN charges $8.29 from the second year.) That’s a significant increase on the $4.08 we saw last time, but it’s also within the range we expect for a premium VPN, and it’s still far cheaper than many. Pay for a year upfront and the price falls to an equivalent $5.75. Monthly billing is only only $9 – many VPNs charge $10-$13. You can set up and use the service wherever you like, as long as the devices are yours (the small print forbids sharing your account with others). There are no annoying limits on simultaneous connections, either. Upgrading to a commercial plan gets you unlimited data and access to all 110 locations.
You're limited to 11 countries – North America, across Europe, and Hong Kong – but that's still far better than you'll get with many free services ('sorry, our free app only connects to Brunei, is that a problem?'). Windscribe's free plan offers a generous 10GB of data transfer a month if you register with your email address, 2GB if you don't. In addition to paid plans, Windscribe also offers a very generous free plan (Image credit: Windscribe) Windscribe pricing It’s good to see a VPN provider move beyond the usual identikit extras (do you really care if your app now has a Dark Mode?) and come up with some ideas of its own. But if you’re a journalist or a political dissident in a country where that’s very dangerous, then it should add a valuable extra layer of protection.
Turn this on and the app creates huge amounts of fake traffic, making it far more difficult for anyone to pick out your real internet activity.ĭecoy Mode generates a lot of data, potentially many gigabytes per hour, so this really isn’t a feature for the average user.

The Android app has gained ‘Decoy Mode’, a unique privacy feature which protects against traffic correlation attacks (a method of identifying VPN users by monitoring the amount and timing of data uploads and downloads). This has security and privacy benefits as data can’t be left on the server for a lengthy period of time (it disappears whenever the server is rebooted), and the company also told us it brings significant speed benefits.
The big news since our last review is Windscribe’s move to RAM disk-based servers, where data is stored in server memory rather than on hard drives. The Android app has a new ‘Decoy Mode’ which is an interesting privacy feature (Image credit: Windscribe) What’s new?
