PrivadoVPN is a VPN service from a company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Zug, Switzerland. It is available through web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, with servers in 45 countries. The free plan costs nothing and includes 10 GB of data for one device. Paid plans allow 10 simultaneous connections. The 12 Month Unlimited VPN + 3 FREE plan is listed at $1.33 a year, displayed as a monthly equivalent, and the 24 Month Unlimited VPN + 3 FREE plan at $1.11 a year, also displayed as a monthly equivalent. The 1 Month Plan costs $10.99 a month. The service lists streaming and torrent support, a kill switch, and WireGuard support. Its paid plans provide a higher simultaneous-device allowance than the free plan, while the free option has a fixed data allowance. No verified no-logs audit is listed. This gives readers clear distinctions between the one-device free plan and paid plans with up to 10 connections, alongside the available platform and feature details.

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.
