Firezone pricing

The cheapest way in is €3.58 a month, paid upfront for the longest term. After that term, Firezone renews at its standard price, the same per month as the first term. Market median across the main ranking: €3.13 a month.

Real cost over 1, 2 and 3 years

What you pay to keep Firezone running: the first term, then renewals at the published renewal price. Where no renewal price is published, plans shorter than a year are counted as repeat payments at the current price; longer plans show a dash after their term. Converted to euros at the rates used in our data (1 USD = €0.86). The lowest cost for each period is marked.
