VPNZONE › NordVPN & Surfshark alternative
A simpler, cheaper alternative to the big VPN brands
NordVPN, Surfshark, ExpressVPN and Proton VPN are good products, but their low prices usually need a one- or two-year prepayment, and their monthly plans cost around $10–15. VPNZONE is $3 month to month, with everything included.

Competitor figures are typical public list prices at the time of writing (November 2026) and change often, especially during promotions. Check each provider's own pricing page. NordVPN, Surfshark, ExpressVPN and Proton VPN are trademarks of their respective owners; VPNZONE is not affiliated with them.
Where the big brands are stronger
To be fair: they have far more countries (often 50–100+), streaming-specific servers and years of independent audits. If you need a server in a specific country we don't cover, they are the better choice. VPNZONE covers 16 locations in 11 countries, the ones most people actually use: US East and West, Canada, London, the main EU hubs, Switzerland and Singapore.
Where VPNZONE is better
- No lock-in: the cheap price is the monthly price.
- One plan, everything included: no Basic/Plus/Ultimate tiers, no add-ons.

Frequently asked questions
Is VPNZONE as good as NordVPN?
For everyday privacy, public Wi-Fi and a US, UK or EU IP address, it offers the same core protection (WireGuard, no logs, malware blocking) for much less. The big brands have more countries and streaming-specific servers.
Why is VPNZONE so much cheaper?
No celebrity marketing, no affiliate commissions and a lean network of single-purpose WireGuard servers.
Can I switch without losing money?
Yes. Try VPNZONE 7 days free while your current VPN is still active, then decide. Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time.
