More comparison labs

The same transparent scoring for every category.

How we score: each raw value maps to 0–100 points via a fixed table (e.g. Switzerland = 100, USA = 40), so a provider's grade never changes just because another joins. Missing info is not counted against a provider. Features everyone has are mandatory badges worth 0 points. Prices are renewal prices, so all are comparable. Winner means best overall grade — not paid placement.

Good to know

  • We always compare each provider's base plan, so the comparison stays like-for-like — higher tiers can offer more.
  • Prices and specs can change at any time — we don't guarantee they are always current. Every figure shows its source and date; check the provider's site before you buy.
  • Prices shown are regular/renewal prices incl. tax and can vary by country and offer — the amount at checkout may differ.
  • Scores follow our own fixed, published rules and change with the priorities you set — they are our transparent assessment, not an absolute truth.
  • Brand names and logos are the property of their owners. Cryvor is independent and not endorsed by the providers.
  • This comparison is for information only — do your own research before deciding.
