How to compare before you switch

  1. Check the details that affect your use. VPN users can compare renewal terms, device support, protocols, and controls. Proxy users can compare proxy type, billing unit, traffic limits, and rotation.
  2. Confirm current terms with the provider. The snapshots below are dated and are not live checkout quotes or independent performance tests.
  3. Plan the change. Review your current account, subscription renewal date, required apps, and any configuration you need to export before cancelling.
