What We Like

What We Don't Like

  • Pricey subscriptions: Going premium means paying $12.99 per month or $95.99 per year, which is not very affordable for a VPN of Betternet’s caliber.
  • Sluggish upload speed: While the download speed was stellar, our upload speed took a hit when we connected to Betternet.
  • Split tunneling on desktop: The split tunneling feature on Betternet’s desktop apps isn’t as comprehensive as on mobile.

Bottom Line

Betternet isn’t going to kick out any VPN on our list of the best VPNs, but it’s an adequate option with strong security features and fast speeds. The free version is a nice addition, and we like that it offers the same level of security as the premium version.
