Mullvad vs. Windscribe: best VPN for monthly service
- Most VPN services require an annual or longer subscription paid in advance but some VPNs offer affordable prices with just a monthly commitment. Mullvad and Windscribe are two VPNs that offer unique monthly pricing and in this head-to-head comparison, we'll explore the features, customer support, and security to help you decide which offers the best value.
- Mullvad’s VPN pricing is remarkably simple at 5 euros per month. Mullvad allows five simultaneous connections and is a full-featured, fast VPN with apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
- Windscribe has cross-platform support and, within reason, allows you to connect unlimited devices. The most interesting low-cost monthly option from Windscribe is the Build-A-Plan, which costs as little as $3 monthly. Windscribe even lets you change the locations during the month and prorates your bill if you only use a partial month.
- Mullvad and Windscribe are fast enough for global web browsing and sufficient for high-quality streaming. Mullvad was generally faster than Windscribe but it varies depending on the time of day, distance from the server, and load on the server.
- Customer service is acceptable for inexpensive services. Mullvad and Windscribe both offer email support. If you anticipate needing quicker help, Surfshark has fast, helpful live chat that’s available around the clock.
- Mullvad and Windscribe break the VPN mold with unique pricing and policies while offering enough features and global performance to be intriguing. Mullvad wins in this challenge to find the best VPN for monthly service.
- Mullvad offers a full-service VPN in 47 countries for a little over $5 monthly, total anonymity, excellent privacy protection, and impressive server speeds worldwide.
- Windscribe matches Mullvad’s privacy policies and security despite its base in Canada, a Five Eyes country. With Build-A-Plan you can use a data-capped VPN with servers in three locations for just $3 monthly. A 30GB limit feels too restrictive for some users, but you can upgrade to unlimited data for only $1 more.
- Hackers are becoming more sophisticated. The best way to secure your data is to keep it offline. For absolute anonymity, Mullvad assigns a number when you create an account and you don’t have to provide your email address. Email is optional for Windscribe users also.
- If you want to break out of long-term VPN subscriptions or a constant hunt for the best VPN deal, both Mullvad and Windscribe are worthwhile.
