VPN providers compared on who owns them, where they answer to, whether the no-logs claim was audited, the features a small team needs (fixed IP, device-to-device networking, SSO), and the price you actually pay: the renewal, not the two-year promo.
The VPN we run our own business on: Swiss jurisdiction, a non-profit foundation as the largest shareholder, five public no-logs audits and open-source apps.
Month-to-month: £7.99/moLongest plan, per month: £2.79/mo (24-month term)Renewal, per month: £5.59/mo
The biggest consumer VPN and the most complete on the features a small team asks for, undercut by the steepest renewal cliff in the field.
Month-to-month: £11.09/moLongest plan, per month: £2.59/mo (27-month term)Renewal, per month: £8.69/mo
The honesty benchmark: one flat price since 2009, no discounts, no renewal games and no email address needed, but five devices, no fixed IP and no team plan.
Month-to-month: €5/moLongest plan, per month: €5.00/moRenewal, per month: €5.00/mo
The device-to-device network done properly: a WireGuard mesh between your own machines with SSO and access policies, free for up to six users, and not a privacy VPN on its own.

The independent's VPN: founder-owned, no two-year plan on principle, unlimited devices, a London static IP and a team plan, with one honestly disclosed 2021 lapse.

The cheapest full-featured VPN here, with unlimited devices, open-source apps and three Deloitte no-logs audits, owned by Kape in the United States.

NordVPN's cheaper sister: unlimited devices, RAM-only servers and Deloitte audits, sold on a headline price that renews at nearly three times as much.
Month-to-month: £13.79/moLongest plan, per month: £2.19/mo (27-month term)Renewal, per month: £6.10/mo
Nord Security's business network, with SSO on every plan and UK dedicated servers, but the features a small business wants sit on a paid server and the top tier, and it logs by design.
Month-to-month: $8/moLongest plan, per month: $6.40/moRenewal, per month: $6.40/mo
Free for a team of up to 50, with SSO, SCIM and device posture, but not a privacy VPN: no choice of exit country, IP logs kept for up to two years and no audit.

The most heavily advertised VPN, technically excellent, and last here for what sits around it: an owner with an adware past that also owns the review sites recommending it.
