VPN price tracker
The headline price is a per-month average on a plan you pay for upfront. Here is every plan, the bill you actually get, and what it costs after the intro term ends.
Total cost
What you pay over the years you keep it
Intro deals usually renew at a higher standard rate. This adds the renewals up, so a cheap first bill doesn’t hide an expensive second one.
Best-value plan, then renewals at the provider’s standard rate.
Surfshark$52.56
CyberGhost$52.56
Private Internet Access (PIA)$52.56

We earn a commission if you buy through our links. It never changes a score: rankings are computed from the data. How we make money
Turn off auto-renew
You can usually switch it off the day you subscribe and still keep the full term. You choose again at the end instead of paying the standard rate by default.
Use the refund window
Test speed, streaming and every device during the money-back period. Refunds through app stores follow Apple’s or Google’s rules, not the provider’s.
Compare the bill, not the badge
A $2.19/mo price on a 24-month plan is a $52.56 bill today. Check how many months you are buying before comparing per-month prices.
