Welcome

GPA, above 0 of the 16 other VPNs we grade

One subscription covers 5 devices on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android, with more than 500 servers in 30+ countries. Its apps are open source and have been audited by Cure53.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Mozilla VPN, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The report card
Best for a plainly priced VPN from the Firefox people
Mozilla VPN is the Firefox maker's VPN, running on Mullvad's servers with open-source apps audited by Cure53. The price is plain: $59.88 a year or $9.99 a month, with no first-term deal that jumps later. But there's no free plan or trial, it covers 5 devices, and its App Store rating is the lowest on record among VPNs here.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Free plan and trial | F | Nothing 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 | C | WireGuard 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 | D | 3.44 from about 500 App Store ratings, the lowest on record among VPNs here and under the 3.8 a C needs. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android, plus a Firefox extension. There's no integration list or API beyond Firefox, so it stops at B. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Mozilla VPN is for
- Great if you live in Firefox on Windows and want per-site VPN rules
- Handy when you want a price that won't jump after the first year
- Good for people who want open-source, audited apps on up to 5 devices
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want to try it free first, as there's no free plan or trial
- Skip it if you live outside the 57 countries where Mozilla sells it
- Tight if you have more than 5 devices to cover
Good to know
Good for
- Firefox users who want per-site VPN rules in the browser
- People who want an open-source, audited VPN on up to 5 devices
- Buyers who want a plain two-plan price list with no first-term deals
Worth knowing
- Sold only in 57 listed countries, including the US, UK, Canada, India and every EU member; you must be in one to use it.
- One subscription covers 5 devices, and the network has about 500 servers in 30+ countries.
- The 30-day refund applies to first-time subscribers who paid on Mozilla's website; App Store and Google Play purchases follow store rules.
- There is no free plan or free trial, and prices are shown before tax.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Mozilla VPN 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.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 16 of the 16 other VPNs grade higher. It costs $59.88 a year. Mozilla VPN is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could make
- Ad and tracker blocking: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Servers in dozens of countries, kept fast and private.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. Mozilla VPN’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
