How we grade them
| 1.6GPAMozilla VPNWeak | 1.8GPAMullvad VPNWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | C€5 a month flat, about $5.62, whether you pay for one month or a year ahead, so two years come to €120. That's a little above the middle of what VPNs charge, with no first-term discount to expire. Paying in cryptocurrency takes 10% off. |
| Free plan and 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. | FNothing free: there's no trial, and the 14-day money-back guarantee excludes cash and, on the VPN page, crypto payments too. A money-back guarantee isn't a trial anyway. |
| Features | 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. | CAnonymous numbered accounts, DAITA against traffic analysis, quantum-resistant tunnels, multihop, obfuscation and DNS blocking. But the listing names the gaps: 5 devices, no port forwarding and no dedicated IPs. |
| Ease of use | D3.44 from about 500 App Store ratings, the lowest on record among VPNs here and under the 3.8 a C needs. | C4.1 from about 1,500 App Store ratings, below most VPNs here. You sign up with a generated account number rather than an email, so keep that number somewhere safe. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWindows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android, plus a Firefox extension. There's no integration list or API beyond Firefox, so it stops at B. | BWindows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android, with open-source apps. There's no integration list or API on record, so it stops at B. |
