Introductory pricing works. A provider that advertises $1/month will win more signups than one advertising its real $14/month rate, even when the second is cheaper over three years. The companies on this list have chosen to compete on the honest number instead, which usually means their headline price looks worse and their long-term price looks better.
Mullvad and Windscribe run no affiliate programme. There is no arrangement under which they could ever pay this site a penny. They sit at the top of this list anyway, because the only thing our score measures is what happens to your price when the first term ends. Any site that ranks providers by what they pay cannot show you this list.
Which hosting has no renewal price increase?
Of the providers we track, 12 charge the same at renewal as advertised. Web hosting is the worst category for increases; software and VPN providers are more often flat.
Is a flat price guaranteed forever?
No. Flat means the advertised price equals the renewal price today. Any provider can change list prices later, which is why we chart every price we track, daily.
Do the fair providers pay you?
Two of them cannot: Mullvad and Windscribe run no affiliate programme at all. They are on this list purely because of what their pricing does.
