Pros and cons
IceVPN
Pros
- Monthly plan billing at $4.99 sits below Ivacy billing at $12.95 for short term users
- Long term plan billing at $2.99 for 12 months lowers recurring spend for steady users
- Network reach across 70 countries supports streaming and everyday browsing with varied endpoints
Cons
- Device allowance capped at 5 devices may feel tight next to Kaspersky which allows 10 devices
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, without wider routes beyond the listed channels
- Long term cover tied to 12 months lacks extended multi year choice found with other VPN rivals
Trend Micro
Pros
- Free utilities are on offer, with a scanner, a deepfake inspector and a password generator
- The subscription adds a VPN, a password manager and parental controls to the antivirus core
- Maximum Security runs on Windows, macOS and Chrome OS and covers 3 to 10
Cons
- Maximum Security at $74.95 for the first year sits above the €49.95 site median
- The free plan limits cover single-purpose utilities only, so a household needs a paid plan for full protection
- The logging policy holds what you supply plus some data read automatically from your device, with an opt-out per product
