Astrill VPN vs Hide.me Comparison

• 1 month: Billed monthly, no discount
• 1 year: $180.00 for 12 months
• 2 years: $300.00 for 24 months (list price $720, marketed as 58% off)

• Premium, 1 month: Billed monthly, no discount
• Premium, 12 months: $54.99 billed every 12 months
• Premium, 26 months: 24 months + 2 bonus months, $69.99 billed every 26 months. hide.me's own pricing page states, as a labeled 'Pricing Guarantee': 'Your plan always renews with the same price and duration' — a clear, explicit claim, but still the provider's own statement rather than independent third-party verification

Most recent of two substantive no-logs audits, nine years apart: Defense Code Ltd audited hide.me's no-logs claim in 2015, and Securitum, a Polish cybersecurity firm, reviewed server configuration, network architecture, and logging infrastructure in July 2024, finding no evidence of activity-log creation or storage on the production fleet. hide.me also holds a VPN Trust Initiative (VTI) Trust Seal, first awarded 2023 and re-accredited late 2025 — an industry-consortium compliance certification, not a full independent technical audit.
