Prices are in USD and were checked on September 6, 2026. Refer to current pricing and checkout for live availability and offers. Card subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. After the second band, each tier continues at up to 24 Mbps without a data cutoff. Actual speeds depend on connection conditions.
Measured speed and plan limits
FreeGuard internal tests cover Asia, the Middle East, North America and Europe. Pro and Max high-speed bands reached speeds up to 10 times those of other VPNs in tested scenarios. Plus later speed bands reached up to 2 times those of other VPNs, with both the 100 Mbps and 24 Mbps stages included in testing. These multipliers apply to the plans and network scenarios tested; actual speeds vary. They are separate from the service speed limits listed above.

Which tier should I choose?
Choose Plus if its first 300 GiB meets your normal monthly usage. Consider Pro when you need more high-speed data. Consider Max when Pro’s 1 TiB first band is regularly too small. Pro and Max share the same top speed limit; their allowances differ.
Which option has the smallest upfront payment?
Among the standard paid card offers above, Plus weekly has the lowest initial payment. This is different from the lowest cost for continuing use. Compare Plus weekly and monthly and look at the total due today, renewal frequency and intended duration.
Does payment renewal reset the data allowance?
No. Allowances reset with the UTC calendar month, not each card renewal. Weekly, monthly and yearly describe billing. They do not change the allowance reset rule.
Can I pay for every tier with cryptocurrency?
No. Wallet payment currently supports Plus only and uses its own prices and durations. Pro and Max use card checkout. Moving from a Pro or Max selection to wallet payment means selecting Plus; review the changed entitlements and payment terms.
What if I already subscribe or a payment failed?
Manage the existing subscription and review the available change and charges. For an unsuccessful payment, distinguish a price concern from a payment-method problem. If the original charge is confirmed, processing or unclear, verify its status before attempting another payment. Do not assume that returning from checkout means the payment failed.
