VPN cost calculator: what you really pay with renewals
Choose services, how long you need a VPN and on how many devices. The calculator adds the first payment and every renewal at the published renewal price, so you see the full cost, the price per device and how much more a monthly plan would cost.
What popular VPNs really cost
One device, in US dollars (other currencies converted at the rates in our data). Each cell is the cheapest way to cover the period: the first payment plus renewals at the published renewal price.

“Renewal price not published”: the provider lists only the first payment, so a period longer than the first plan cannot be priced honestly. Prices from each provider’s site.
