Which one is for you
Pick AirVPN if
- Fits if you're on a network that blocks VPNs and need SSH, SSL or Tor tunnels
- Works for people who want an official Linux client and like adjusting OpenVPN and WireGuard settings
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you use an iPhone, as there's no iOS edition of Eddie
- Not for you if you want one big connect button, as Eddie's settings are aimed at experienced users
- Tight if you need to know the price before you look further, as we couldn't read AirVPN's plans
- Watch out: no free plan or trial is on record; the Eddie app is free, but the service behind it is paid
- Watch out: the listing has nothing on server count, device limits or ad blocking
Pick AzireVPN if
- Fits if you want to sign up without an email, address or phone number
- Works for people who prefer WireGuard and a vendor that publishes audits

- Watch out: the money-back guarantee is 7 days and there is no trial
How we grade them
| 1.8GPAAirVPNWeak | 2.0GPAAzireVPNFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price on record: airvpn.org answered our reader with a JavaScript check, so the plans couldn't be read. With nothing published to compare, it sits at C, the grade for no stated price. | CEUR 3.75 a month on the 12-month plan, about the category's cheapest quarter, with no dollar price shown and renewal terms not stated. |
| Free plan and trial | FNothing free on record. The Eddie app is free and open source, but it's only the client: the AirVPN service behind it is paid, and no free plan or trial is listed. | FNo free plan and no trial; a 7-day money-back guarantee is not a trial. |
| Features | CWireGuard, Amnezia WireGuard and OpenVPN, a network lock, SSH, SSL and Tor tunnels, and per-app routing on Android, so getting past blocks is covered. But the listing has nothing on its servers, device limit or ad blocking. | CWireGuard, kill switch, port forwarding and audit claims, but no Linux app and a smaller feature set than the big providers. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record, and Eddie's custom OpenVPN directives and routing rules suit experienced users more than beginners, so expect a learning curve. | BNo rating on record, but it is an app you install and press connect. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWindows, Mac, Linux, Android and Android TV, and it works with Tor. But there's no iPhone edition of Eddie and no API on record, so it stops at B. | BWindows, Mac, iOS and Android apps, with no integrations or API listed. |
| Best for | getting past networks that block VPNs | a privacy-minded VPN with no sign-up details |

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
