Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: CyberGhost at $2.5/mo, against Mullvad at €5/mo. That is the entry price in this market on the dates shown, not a judgement about which suits you.
- Free plans: neither publishes one. Any free access here is a trial, which is a deadline.
- How far each ladder goes: CyberGhost tops out at $4.5/mo, Mullvad at €5/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
- CyberGhost: It bills by country — entry £2.25/mo to a UK reader, from our same-day reads.
How to choose in this category
- The intro price is not the price — renewal rates run higher and commitment terms stretch past two years in this set.
- Compare the renewal row, not the banner figure.
- A refund window is not a free tier — look for a plan actually priced at zero.
