Frequently asked questions

How many tools are in the Security, VPN & Privacy Tools directory?

None of the listings in this category advertise a free plan. Many vendors still offer a trial, so check each pricing page for the current terms.

Are the prices on this page current?

Treat them as a starting point. Vendors change plans, introductory discounts and renewal prices often, and a listing that says paid plans, see vendor has no verified starting price recorded. Confirm the price, billing period and renewal rate on the vendor's pricing page before you pay.
