Business VPN pricing: what teams actually pay per user
Compare published business VPN and zero-trust network access prices across 24 vendors, with the minimum user counts and required fixed charges that decide what a team of your size pays per person.
Personal VPN or business VPN?
For one person
A personal VPN is usually bought for an individual's browsing or privacy needs. Consumer subscriptions are outside this dataset, so the team prices below should not be read as personal VPN prices.
For a team
These business VPN and zero-trust access plans are priced by users, seats, or another stated unit. Compare the billed minimum, required gateway or IP charges, and whether the plan offers the access controls your organization needs. Confirm features on each vendor's page.
What a team pays at 2, 10, or 25 people
Lowest computable paid US dollar plan at each size. Free tiers are excluded because they have different limits. Monthly equivalent with annual billing where stated; minimum seats and required fixed charges included. These are price examples, not product recommendations.

Compare plans for 25 people →Quick answer. For a ten-person team, the lowest published US dollar plan here works out at $4.16 per user per month (Firezone Team, annual billing). Minimum user counts matter most for the smallest teams: NordLayer Core is advertised at $11.00 per user and works out at $47.50 per person for a team of two. Put your own team size into the calculator to re-rank every plan.
Ten of the 21 plans in the ten-user ranking bill a minimum number of users, and four add a fixed monthly charge that does not shrink with the team. Of 24 vendors, 17 publish a price we could read and seven ask you to contact sales.

Why NordLayer Core’s $11.00 becomes $47.50 per person for two users
NordLayer Core is published at $11.00 per user per month, bills a minimum of 5 users, and requires a fixed charge of $40.00 a month (Server with Dedicated IP). A team of two therefore pays $11.00 × 5 + $40.00 = $95.00 a month, which is $47.50 per person, 4.3 times the advertised figure. The same plan at ten users is $15.00 per person. That arithmetic, and nothing else, is what orders every table here.
Priced for one team size
Three pages take a single headcount and run every plan through it, with the minimum user counts and fixed charges that decide the answer at that size, and what the whole bill comes to: 5 users, 10 users, 25 users. Two articles carry the same arithmetic further, to 50 users and 100 users. Any other number goes into the calculator.
Priced by what you are buying
Two pages take one part of the price list and follow it all the way through: what zero-trust network access costs per user, including the vendors in that category that publish no price at all, and what a dedicated IP or gateway charge adds per person, which is the line that decides between two plans with the same headline rate.
One against one
Where two vendors both publish a per-user price in the same currency, there is a page that puts them side by side at two, ten and fifty users, with the minimum user counts and fixed charges that decide the small sizes. The grid of every pairing names the cheaper side of each one and the gap, and says why the vendors that have no pairing have none.
The data, if you would rather have the file
Every figure on this site comes out of two files that are free to take under CC BY 4.0: a JSON file with one entry per vendor and a CSV with one line per priced plan. The dataset page goes through both column by column, says how much of each field the vendors actually publish, and lists what has changed since the data opened.
How to use this
- Find the vendor in the list and read the two-user column as well as the headline.
- Put your real team size into the calculator.
- Check what the published price leaves out before you treat it as a budget.

Business VPN and zero-trust access: why both are in one table
The vendors here sell the same thing to the same buyer: a way for a team's devices to reach company resources over the internet without exposing those resources to everyone. Some call it a business VPN, some call it zero-trust network access (ZTNA), and a few sell both under one price list. The technical difference is real: a VPN typically puts a device on a private network, while ZTNA grants access one application or resource at a time. The pricing difference is not. Both are sold per user per month, both often carry a minimum user count, and both sometimes add a flat charge for a dedicated gateway or IP address.
Because the buyer compares them and the price structure is the same, this site ranks them together and prints the category on every row. If you have already decided on one architecture, the calculator filters by category. Products priced per server or per device rather than per user are shown on their own pages and left out of the per-user ranking, because a per-server figure divided by a team size is a guess, not a price.
What counts as a user, a seat, or a connection
Vendors do not all bill the same unit, and the word on the pricing card does not always say which. This site records the vendor's own word in each plan's notes and treats the following as the unit the formula multiplies:
- User. One person, however many devices they carry. Most of the vendors here bill this way, and it is the unit of every ranking on this site.
- Seat. A vendor's word for one billable unit. On the pricing pages read for this site it is used the way user is, so seat-priced plans are ranked as per user. OpenVPN CloudConnexa prices per seat, and its pricing page asks ‘How many users and connectors will you need?’, so there a seat is a user or a site connector; a team that also connects an office network pays for more seats than it has people.
- Connection or device. One endpoint. A person with a laptop and a phone may be two. Plans billed this way (ZeroTier, for example) are shown on their vendor pages and kept out of the per-user ranking.
- Server. Self-hosted products such as Pritunl bill per server. The per-person cost then depends entirely on how many people share it, so no per-user figure is computed.
- Minimum users. The smallest number of users a plan bills for, whatever your headcount. A two-person team on a five-user minimum pays for five.
- Fixed charge. A monthly amount that does not change with the number of users. It is counted only where the vendor states it is required; optional add-ons are shown and left out.
How we count
Several different totals appear on this site because they answer different questions. All of them are computed from the same dataset at build time; none is typed by hand.
- 24 vendors. One row per vendor, each with a source URL and a check date. 17 publish a price we could read, and 7 ask you to contact sales.
- 67 plans listed. Every plan or tier on those vendors' pricing pages, including contact-sales tiers and add-ons.
- 28 priced plans. Plans with a published price that is not a “from” figure, so the formula can run. This includes plans priced per device or per server.
- 25 published per-user plans. The priced plans that bill per user, across 11 vendors: 22 in US dollars and 3 in euros. Per-device and per-server plans are shown on their vendor pages but kept out of the per-user ranking.
- 21 plans in the ten-user ranking. Per-user plans a ten-person team could buy. Free tiers capped below ten users drop out here, which is why this pool is smaller than the per-user count.
- The calculator's count. It changes with team size, currency and category, because plans with user caps or free-tier limits enter and leave the pool. Its caption always states the number it is showing.
