Windscribe doesn't quite have the lowest headline prices, then, but it's monthly-billed plans are as cheap as you'll get.

That's a little below average, although if you're willing to sign up for longer then there are savings to be made with some rivals.įor instance, the three-year plan from Private Internet Access is $2.19 a month, and VyprVPN gives you three years for $1.81 a month.
