Ivacy

The pricing is the product. A month costs $12.95, which is at the upper end of ordinary; commit two years and three extra months and it falls to $2.14 a month billed $53.75; commit five years and it falls to $1.69 a month billed $101.55. Every discount is a function of how far ahead you are willing to pay, and the applications cover desktop and mobile in the usual way.

Two things about that ladder deserve reading closely. The billed figures are described as covering "the first" two or five years, and no renewal rate is published beside them, so what happens at the end of a five-year term is unstated. And a five-year prepayment is an unusually long bet on a consumer VPN brand remaining in business and remaining the same product.

The cost is that the thing you research and the thing you buy have come apart. Ivacy merged into a larger provider in 2024 and its clients were carried across with subscriptions honoured, which is the gentle version of that outcome. But Ivacy's own pages still name no legal entity or country, while the service behind them belongs to a company that publishes both — named in the jurisdiction note here. Paying five years ahead now buys a brand rather than an operator.
