CyberGhost is one of the cheapest well-known VPNs on this list if you commit to its longest plan, which works out to $2.19 a month, just above PIA's $2.03. It backs that plan with a 45-day money-back guarantee, the longest window here, so you have six weeks to test streaming and speed. Every plan covers 7 devices and access to servers in 100 countries, with 24/7 live support and an optional dedicated IP. The apps are aimed at beginners, with clear presets rather than walls of settings. The compromises are easy to spot. Seven devices is fewer than NordVPN's 10 or Surfshark's unlimited, the monthly plan costs $12.99 with only 14 days to claim a refund, and the order page leans hard on countdown timers. If you want the lowest long-term price from a big-name VPN, CyberGhost delivers it.
