How we rank

The Overall score is calculated mechanically by our algorithm.

Each data point has two settings: an importance tier (1 = most important, 2 = medium, 3 = least) and a direction (is lower or higher better?). For example, Price sits in tier 1 (most important) with direction low (lower is better), while ad blocker sits in tier 3. For each provider the values are normalized against the lowest and highest value across providers and combined into a score between 0 and 100.

Think the weighting is off? Drag the sliders yourself above the list — the ranking is recalculated based on what you find important, on a sliding scale.

The data is collected from each provider's own pages. Every provider decides which data they publish, so not all providers have every data point. Errors can sneak in from time to time, and we fix them as soon as we hear about them. Spotted a mistake on our site? Get in touch.

Frequently asked questions

What is VPNSeekr?
An independent comparison site for VPN services.
How often is the information updated?
At least once a week. The information is pulled fresh from the provider and overwrites last week's values.
How are providers ranked?
Through our unique algorithm that assigns an importance tier to each data point. Want a ranking that fits you better? Drag the sliders yourself at the top of the page.
What do you mean by "independent data"?
That the numbers come from the provider's public information, not from press releases or a marketing department. We pull the same data points from every provider in the same way.
Do you make money from the site?
Some "Visit site" buttons are affiliate links — we earn a commission if you sign up for a subscription through them. It does not affect the ranking. We do not rank providers based on whether they offer this kind of link or not. More details on Privacy.
Why is the price in a different currency than what the provider advertises?
Providers price in different currencies (USD, EUR, SEK and others). We normalize everything to EUR per month and then convert to your region's currency using ECB exchange rates, so you can more easily see what it will cost you.
Where can I find explanations of the technical terms?
The Glossary has a short explanation of every data point and term that appears in the table.
