Mega Cloud Services Limited review

Pros and cons

Who it suits

• People covering 10 devices on Android, iOS and Windows who want a kill switch and split tunnelling in the same subscription.
• Business buyers, the audience the service is aimed at, who need Zero-knowledge (user-controlled) end-to-end encryption in place.
• Readers comfortable signing up under NZ law with MEGA Networks LLC named as owner.

Who should look elsewhere

• Anyone who needs a wider device range on one plan: ESET Brasil covers 3 to 25, well past the 10 allowed here.
• Readers after multi-hop or obfuscated connections, since neither sits in kill switch and split tunnelling.
• Shoppers weighing only the entry rate, since the monthly figure ranks 25 of 133 here while Sinew Software Systems charges $1.99 for its paid tier.

Where it sits among rivals

Across the three measures readers weigh first, Mega Cloud Services Limited sits in the middle rather than at either edge. Device allowance places it 3 of 80 brands, and the long-term plan price 7 of 112. The monthly price is the weaker of the three, at 25 of 133, so the case for this one rests on what a subscription includes rather than on the entry rate.

Pricing

Entry and renewal are the same figure: the monthly plan costs $3.99 and renews at $3.99. The long-term plan is the cheaper route at $1.67, and the longest term available runs 24. Both figures are quoted as app store prices, which is the purchase path mobile buyers use. A reader who renews without thinking pays the entry rate again, while a reader who holds the long term pays noticeably less per period.

Apps and devices

The apps cover Android, iOS and Windows, and a single subscription allows 10 devices connected at once. That figure is a shared pool across those systems rather than a per-device charge, so a phone and a laptop draw on the same allowance. The platform list is short, so anyone whose household kit runs on something outside it should check their own systems first.

Privacy and jurisdiction

The service operates under NZ law, and MEGA Networks LLC is named as the owner. Encryption is user-controlled end to end, as Zero-knowledge (user-controlled) end-to-end encryption sets out, so the company holds no readable copy of the data it stores. The same operator runs the VPN and the storage product, which suits a reader who already holds one and wants the other on the same account.

What it does well

The plan includes kill switch and split tunnelling, and 10 devices are covered across Android, iOS and Windows. A kill switch closes the tunnel when the connection drops, which stops traffic from spilling onto an open network, and split tunnelling sends chosen apps or sites around the VPN while everything else stays protected. Both are the kind of feature people notice only after a drop, and both are listed on the pricing page for the plan.

Who runs it

The contract sits with MEGA Privacy (NZ) Limited, headquartered in New Zealand, and the service has been running since 2013. Support runs on email and help centre, so an answer comes by email or from the help centre, and there is no same-day voice line for a problem that needs talking through. The help centre carries the routine questions; anything beyond that waits on a written reply.
