## Key features

- **Server network:** More than 9,600 servers in over 100 countries on 10-Gbps networks, with unlimited bandwidth.
- **Seven devices:** Every plan allows 7 VPN connections at the same time; a router setup can cover devices without their own app.
- **Content Blocker:** Blocks DNS requests to domains known for ads, trackers and malware.
- **Protocols, kill switch and split tunneling:** Switch between OpenVPN, WireGuard and IKEv2, with an automatic kill switch and split tunneling.
- **ID Guard and Privacy Guard:** Included at no extra cost with multi-year plans; every plan also gets email leak monitoring.
- **Add-ons:** A dedicated IP and the CyberGhost Security Suite for Windows can be added at checkout for 1 month, 6 months or 2 years.

## Good for

- Trying a VPN on a computer for a day without entering a card
- Households with up to seven devices
- Buyers who want the longest money-back window on a long plan

## Worth knowing

- The $2.19 a month covers only the first 26 months of the long plan; it then renews at $56.94 every year.
- Seven devices at once on every plan; covering more needs a router setup.
- The monthly plan gets a 14-day money-back guarantee instead of 45 days, and mobile trials need a payment method.
- Prices for the dedicated IP and Windows Security Suite add-ons are not shown on the plans page.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 17, 2026. CyberGhost's long plan is one of the cheaper ways into a VPN: $56.94 covers the first 26 months, and it renews at that same price each year. You get 9,600+ servers in over 100 countries and seven devices at once. The trial is the weak spot, at just 24 hours on a computer.

- **Value for money: B.** The long plan bills $56.94 for the first 26 months, so two years cost about $2.37 a month, inside the cheaper quarter of VPNs but above the $2 an A needs. It then renews at $56.94 a year, still below the middle. The monthly plan is $12.99.
- **Free plan and trial: D.** A 24-hour trial on a computer with no card, or 3 days on Android and 7 on iPhone with a payment method. Short either way, and the money-back guarantee doesn't count.
- **Features: B.** 9,600+ servers in over 100 countries, OpenVPN, WireGuard and IKEv2, a kill switch, split tunneling, ad and malware blocking, and ID Guard on the long plan. It covers the whole job, though 7 devices at once is fewer than some rivals allow.
- **Ease of use: C.** 4.23 from about 39,600 App Store ratings, below the 4.3 a crowd that size needs for a B and lower than most VPNs here.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android, TVs and browser extensions. There's no integration list or API on record, so it stops at B.

These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from CyberGhost's own pages on 17 October 2026, and its App Store rating. Its plans page turned our reader away when we checked it again that day. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace CyberGhost you would be making servers in dozens of countries, kept fast and private. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $56.94 a year.

- You could make: Ad and tracker blocking: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Servers in dozens of countries, kept fast and private.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
