Kind of interesting idea, but looking at the per gb price, not really sure who this is targeting. 100gb is $4, which is at or more than the monthly price of many vpn companies. So downloading is out of the question, leaving only just web browsing really.
Honestly I feel vpns are just kind of like gym memberships, it's not expected for everyone who gets one to use it every day, even though they could.
- hackan 3y agoYeah, the price is huge! I use terabytes of VPN traffic per month...
- WheatMillington 3y agoSurely though you realise that's not typical.
- FinnKuhn 3y agonor the intended customer base. This seems more for someone who needs to use a VPN occasionally, for example to watch a specific movie or VPN back into their home country while on vacation
- KomoD 3y agoEven on vacation it could probably be more than a normal 1 month subscription.
- FinnKuhn 3y agodo you go on vacation every month?
- KomoD 3y agoI never said so? Just dont pay for more than 1 month lol??
- FinnKuhn 3y agoMost of them a subscription services though? When you are using little bandwith every now ans then this service could be the better option. Not saying it is better for every use case, but I can see situations where it is more practical and easier to use (no subscriptions to cancel)
- Crosseye_Jack 3y agoDon't forget the per/hour connected price if you stayed connected 24/7 for 30 days thats $14.40 + BW charges. The only real use case I can foresee this for is for people who might use a VPN for a few hours, a few times a month. With that kind of usage pattern $10 (The min topup value by the look of it) could last you a fair few months so works out cheaper than some of the other mainstream VPN providers who offer a flat fee service.
- gigapotential 3y agoI like your analogy of gym membership to other VPN providers! If I may use analogy to describe UpVPN - its like buying Milk - you pay upfront you bring it home consume it and go to grocery store and buy more. UpVPN is an option in spectrum of VPN providers. Only you can determine based on your usage if this option makes sense for you. What UpVPN does provide (unlimited devices without subscription and your never expiring balance stays if you come back months later) other providers do not. And vice-versa UpVPN for its pricing model does not provide unlimited usage.
