NordVPN vs Surfshark
Every VPN comparison ranks on the advertised monthly rate. That rate is an introductory price on a multi-year commitment, and it is not what either brand charges from the second term onward. This ranks on the renewal.
· All prices in USD, as published for the United States.
Surfshark is cheaper on both — to start and to keep.
