Our verdict
CyberGhost suits people who want a long commitment at a low entry rate and a broad platform list, not people who pay month to month. Its long-term plan price is €2.19 on the longest term of 26 months, while the monthly plan costs €11.99 and renews at €11.99.

How it compares on our data
On monthly price CyberGhost ranks 109 of 133, so it sits toward the dear end of the field, and the renewal price matches the entry rate at €11.99. The long-term plan is the opposite story: €2.19 puts CyberGhost at 21 of 112, near the cheaper end of the table. Device allowance of 7 sits at 44 of 80, a middling position rather than a stand-out.

Frequently asked questions
What does CyberGhost cost on a long-term plan?+
The long-term plan works out at €2.19 a month and runs for the longest term of 26 months. That places CyberGhost at 21 of 112 on that measure, toward the cheaper part of the field. It suits readers who can commit once rather than pay monthly.
What do I pay if I subscribe month to month?+
The monthly plan is €11.99, and the renewal price is €11.99 as well, so nothing jumps at renewal on that plan. Monthly pricing ranks CyberGhost at 109 of 133, which makes it one of the pricier monthly options in the group. Short commitments are the weak spot here.
How many devices can I connect at once?+
A single subscription covers 7 devices at the same time, which puts CyberGhost at 44 of 80 on that measure. That is enough for one person on a laptop and phone, or a small household sharing a plan. Larger device counts may need a different provider.
Where does CyberGhost run and which legal entity operates it?+
CyberGhost is run by CyberGhost S.R.L. and its headquarters sit in Romania. Servers are spread across from 100 server countries, well above the middle of the set. No licence or regulator is listed for the service, so check the imprint for yourself.
Which devices and apps are supported?+
Apps cover Windows, macOS and iOS, so the plan works across desktop, mobile, browser and television boxes alike. Split tunnelling lets you route chosen traffic away from the tunnel, and a kill switch cuts the connection if the VPN drops. That makes it workable on a mixed household of devices.
What privacy features does the plan include?+
The plan states a no-logs policy and adds streaming-optimised servers, both of which the data lists for most of this group. Alongside those it includes a kill switch and split tunnelling. Buying with a no-logs promise is common here, so the practical difference is small.
What happens if I want my money back?+
CyberGhost offers a money back period of 14 days to 45, which reads as a range depending on the plan you pick. That makes it one of the more flexible windows in this group. Take the longest window available on the plan you choose, and read the terms before you buy.
How do I get help if something goes wrong?+
Support runs on chat, email and help centre: chat, email and a help centre. Only chat is live, so a quick answer means catching someone in the current window. Email suits written questions where you want a record. There is no phone line listed.
