Pros and cons

Mysterium VPN

Pros

  • 15 devices on one account is the widest device limit among the 80 brands scored on it, well past the 7 category median.
  • Servers in from 100 countries sit above the 48.5 median for the category.
  • The client is open source, a choice 56.6% of the brands in the ranking make.

Cons

  • Monthly pricing of $10.49 to $18.49 places it at 86 of 133 on cost, above the €7.89 category median.
  • The long term plan at $2.59 to $4.79 ranks 23 of 112, so the discount is thinner than most rivals manage.
  • Support runs on email, chat and help centre only.

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

Who each suits

Mysterium VPN

Who it suits

  • Households and small teams that want 15 device slots on one account, well above the 7 median.
  • Readers who want a browser extension and desktop and mobile apps on the same plan, since Android, iOS and macOS covers all of them.
  • People who put a written no logs pledge and open source code above a low monthly price.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Apple Inc., whose own privacy subscription is $0.99 a month, if a light browsing tool is enough.
  • Sinew Software Systems at $1.99 a month, when stored passwords are the real problem.
  • ESET Brasil, which covers 3 to 25 on its antivirus plans, when you want endpoint protection instead of a tunnel.

Trend Micro

Who it suits

  • Households mixing desktop and mobile across Windows, macOS and Chrome OS
  • Parents wanting screen time and web filtering in the same subscription
  • People after protection and a VPN together, a pairing 97.1% of the brands here offer

Who should look elsewhere

  • Apple Inc., when the devices in the household are Apple hardware
  • Comodo (Xcitium), whose free edition reaches 50
  • ESET Brasil, whose first-year price is BRL 64.22

Questions about each

Mysterium VPN

What does Mysterium VPN cost month to month and on a long term plan?+

The monthly plan costs $10.49 to $18.49. Longer commitments are cheaper per month, with the long term plan at $2.59 to $4.79 and the longest term running 24 months. Both figures sit above the €7.89 monthly median for the category, so the saving comes from committing rather than from a lower opening rate.

How many devices can one Mysterium VPN account cover?+

One account covers 15 devices, and the plan places 1 of 80 brands on that measure. For context, the median device allowance in the category is 7, so a household with a phone, a laptop, a desktop and a browser extension stays inside the limit.

Trend Micro

What does the first year of Maximum Security cost?+

Maximum Security lists $74.95 for the first year, and the same figure appears as the yearly price of $74.95 on that plan. That sits above the €49.95 median first-year price across the brands compared here.

How many devices does a subscription cover?+

Maximum Security covers 3 to 10 depending on the plan, which reaches the 10 upper quartile for device counts among the brands here. A larger household would look at a higher tier rather than this range.
