Before you choose
Start with the free offer
Check whether the service lists a free plan, a free trial or both. Betternet Free lists a free plan and a seven-day trial.
Read the free data allowance and the paid-from price together. A free plan can suit light use, while a paid option may change the limits.
Match your devices
Confirm support for the platforms you use: Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux or the web. Android support appears widely across the list, while platform coverage differs by service.
A service that works in a browser may fit a shared computer, while an app may suit a phone or tablet.
Read the privacy details
Compare the logging policy and the ads shown on the free plan. These fields describe how the maker presents its free service.
If access to code matters, check whether the service identifies itself as open source before choosing it.
Check service limits
Free server choice, free speed policy and free device limit can change how a service fits your connection and hardware.
Review these fields before you rely on a service across a phone, laptop and other devices.
Use a trial carefully
A free trial can let you review the paid service before a purchase. Check the trial terms and the paid starting price shown for that service.
Services on the list include hide.me, Windscribe, Proton VPN and Cloudflare WARP, so compare their published fields rather than relying on a name alone.
