iTop VPN vs Psiphon

iTop VPN encrypts the connection between a user’s device and an iTop server to hide the user’s IP and help access online content. It is available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. The free plan costs nothing and includes 300 MB of data per day, with 20 servers across five locations. Paid plans list unlimited data and bandwidth, 3,200+ VIP servers, and eight simultaneous connections. Plan details vary: 12 Months costs $3.99 a year, 6 Months costs $6.99 a month, and 1 Month costs $11.99 a month. Other 1-Year and 2-Year plans list annual prices of 47.99 USD and 59.99 USD. Features include streaming and torrent support, a kill switch, WebRTC leak defense, and IPv4, IPv6, and DNS masking. The Windows page also lists Double VPN, split tunneling, ad blocking, and a dark web monitor. iTop VPN says it was founded in 2016.

Psiphon routes internet traffic through its network to help users reach websites and services that may be blocked or restricted. It automatically tries different connection methods and adapts when network conditions change. The app is intended for browsing, messaging, calls, video, gaming and downloads, and users can install and connect without an account or email address. Psiphon says its network includes more than 50,000 servers across 33 countries. Its free Basic plan is ad-supported, has reduced features and costs nothing; Plus costs $2.88 a month and is described as offering the full network, no ads and every feature. Premium, Premium Monthly and Premium Annual are also listed, with no prices stated; their listed benefits are fewer ads and a faster VPN. Psiphon says it processes limited technical information to operate, secure and improve its network, without building identity or browsing profiles. Client apps and core tunnelling technology are open source, and the Trust Center lists independent reviews including Cure53 audits from May 2024. Android, iOS, Windows and macOS appear in the platform facts, though the native macOS app is in development.
