How we grade them
| 2.0GPAIVPNFair | 1.6GPAMozilla VPNWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStandard is $60 a year and renews at that, so two years cost $120, about $5 a month, right in the middle of what VPNs charge. Monthly is $6, and Plus and Pro Suite are $80 and $100 a year for the email aliases, DNS filtering and app firewall. | C$59.88 a year, shown as $4.99 a month, with no intro deal, so two years cost $119.76, about $4.99 a month. That's exactly the middle of what VPNs charge. Monthly is $9.99, and tax comes on top. |
| Free plan and trial | FNothing free: no free plan and no trial. IVPN points you to a $2 one-week plan for trying it, and the 30-day refund is once per customer. Neither of those is a trial. | FNothing free: no free plan and no trial. The 30-day refund is only for first-time subscribers who paid on Mozilla's website, and a refund isn't a trial. |
| Features | CMulti-hop, the AntiTracker blocker, WireGuard with key rotation, and V2Ray and obfs4 for networks that block VPNs. But the listing names the gaps: no port forwarding, no streaming promises, 5 devices on Standard and servers in 41 countries. | CWireGuard on Mullvad's network, ad, tracker and malware blocking, multi-hop, app exclusions and custom DNS. But the listing shows the limits: 5 devices, about 500 servers in 30+ countries, and the Firefox per-site rules work on Windows only. |
| Ease of use | BNo App Store rating on record. You generate an account ID instead of signing up with an email, then install the app and connect, with nothing to configure first. | D3.44 from about 500 App Store ratings, the lowest on record among VPNs here and under the 3.8 a C needs. |
| Platforms and integrations | BMac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and Android, all with open-source apps. There's no integration list or API on record, so it stops at B. | BWindows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android, plus a Firefox extension. There's no integration list or API beyond Firefox, so it stops at B. |
| Best for | a private VPN you can try for a week | a plainly priced VPN from the Firefox people |
