TorGuard alternatives: where to switch for privacy, price or a trial
6 alternatives to TorGuard (4.15) from the same segment, by features, price and owner. Highest: Xeovo VPN (4.17).
TorGuard ranks 27th out of 377 with a score of 4.15 out of 10. Its network is strong: over 50 countries, 3000 servers, a dedicated IP and streaming on the Pro plan. The weak spots lie elsewhere. The company is based in the US, part of the 5 Eyes alliance, there is no no-logs audit, and it scores 2.3 for privacy. A month of Standard costs $10.99, Stealth mode is only available in Ultimate for $19.99, and the refund window is 7 days, for first-time customers only, and it does not cover payments made with cryptocurrency or gift cards.
Privacy and price: Xeovo VPN
Xeovo VPN from Finland scores 4.17 and costs €2.99 a month on the yearly plan. No email is required to sign up, you can pay in cash or with Monero, and there is a 30-day refund window (except for payments in cryptocurrency). AmneziaWG, VLESS, Trojan and Shadowsocks are available with no extra charge for a higher tier. You pay for this with the network: 27 countries and 60 servers, Netflix blocks its addresses according to the service itself, and there is no live chat. Xeovo does not say whether its apps have a kill switch or DNS leak protection.
A trial with no card: Trust.Zone
Trust.Zone from the Seychelles (3.97) offers 3 days free with no card, though only for one connection. The two-year plan comes to €2.00 a month, there is a 10-day refund window, and a warrant canary is in place. The catch is the limit: 3 devices against 8 on TorGuard Standard, and the privacy policy has not been updated since 2018.
Who on the list is not worth taking?
StelsVPN comes closest to TorGuard in feature set and offers a free plan, but it scores 1.3 for privacy. Witopia, 12VPX and Celo VPN score between 2.08 and 2.70, below TorGuard itself. If you rely on a dedicated IP, port forwarding and 10 Gbps servers, no other option on this list is a better fit.
