Business VPN cost for 10 users

What a team of 10 actually pays per person for a business VPN or zero-trust access, once the minimum user counts and the required fixed charges on the vendors' own pricing pages are put back in.

Other team sizes: 5 users · 25 users. Any other number goes into the calculator.

Quick answer. At 10 users, the 15 paid per-user plans we hold in US dollars work out at between $4.16 and $18.00 per person per month, with a middle figure of $8.00. The cheapest is Firezone Team at $4.16 per person, published at $4.16 per user on annual billing.

As a whole bill, 10 people cost $42 a month on that plan and $180 a month on the most expensive one (Tailscale Premium) — a difference of $4,982 over three years. Two of those 15 plans cost a team of this size more per person than the figure on the vendor's own page. All of them add a monthly charge the vendor requires on top of the per-user price.

Every plan a team of 10 can buy, in price order

Every per-user plan published in US dollars that a team of 10 could buy, ordered by what it works out at per person. Zero-trust and business VPN plans sit in one table because they are bought for the same job; the Type column keeps them apart. Currencies are never converted, so each market is ranked on its own.

How that is worked out

users billed = max(users you have, minimum users the plan bills) user subtotal = published per-user price x users billed fixed charges = the mandatory gateway, server or base fee, where the plan requires one monthly total = user subtotal + fixed charges effective per user = monthly total / users you have uplift = effective per user / published per-user price three-year cost = monthly total x 36 + setup fee

Nothing else is added. Optional add-ons are shown in the tables and left out of every computed figure, and so are taxes, which none of these vendors publishes. Every figure here is a floor. The full method is at Method.

What 10 people cost in total

The same three plans read as a whole bill rather than a per-person rate. Monthly figures are what the vendor would invoice for this many people, including any required fixed charge; the three-year column is that monthly figure over 36 months plus any setup fee. Nothing is discounted for volume unless the vendor publishes the discount.
Position	Vendor and plan	Monthly bill	Per person	Three-year cost
Cheapest paid plan	Firezone Team	$42	$4.16	$1,498
Middle of the table	Tailscale Standard	$80	$8.00	$2,880
Most expensive paid plan	Tailscale Premium	$180	$18.00	$6,480

What is still free at 10 users

Nothing. Every free tier we hold is capped below 10 users, so none of them appears in the table above.

Capped below this size: Firezone Starter (up to 6), OpenVPN CloudConnexa Starter (up to 5) and Tailscale Personal (Free) (up to 6).

A free tier is only in these tables where the vendor publishes it as a plan with a stated user limit. We do not compute a price for a plan past the limit its own page states.

Whether the minimum seat count still bites at 10

It does not, and at this size that is worth knowing. The largest minimum anyone here bills is 5 users (GoodAccess, NordLayer and UTunnel VPN), so a team of 10 is at or above every minimum in the dataset and never pays for an empty seat. Below that line the arithmetic is different: at two users, 7 of the 15 paid plans that fit bill for more people than the team has, which turns NordLayer Core’s published $11.00 into $47.50 a person — 4.3 times. At 10 the same plan is $15.00. Why the smallest teams pay the most per person works through that.

What a required fixed charge costs each person at 10

NordLayer Core: $40.00 a month (Server with Dedicated IP), which is $4.00 per person at 10 users on top of the published $11.00 — a total of $15.00 each.
NordLayer Premium: $40.00 a month (Server with Dedicated IP), which is $4.00 per person at 10 users on top of the published $14.00 — a total of $18.00 each.

That is the one line on the bill that does not scale. The same $40.00 is $20.00 per person for a team of two and $0.40 for a team of a hundred, which is most of why the gap between advertised and actual closes as a team grows.

Where the published price holds at this size: Firezone, Twingate, Windscribe ScribeForce, UTunnel VPN, GoodAccess and OpenVPN CloudConnexa charge what they advertise for a team of 10.

What changes if the team is not exactly 10

The paid US dollar plans run at each team size. “Plans that fit” changes because user caps let plans out. “Costing more than advertised” counts the plans whose effective price per person is above the vendor’s own published per-user figure at that size. Free tiers are left out of every column here and dealt with separately above.
Team size	Paid plans that fit	Lowest per user	Middle	Highest	Costing more than advertised
2 users	15	$4.16	$15.00	$55.00	7
5 users	15	$4.16	$8.00	$22.00	2
10 users — this page	15	$4.16	$8.00	$18.00	2
25 users	15	$4.16	$8.00	$18.00	2
50 users	15	$4.16	$8.00	$18.00	2
100 users	13	$4.16	$8.00	$18.00	2

The per-user prices themselves barely move between these rows. What moves is how far a minimum seat count and a fixed charge are spread: 7 of the 15 paid plans that fit a two-person team cost it more than the advertised figure, against 2 of 15 at 10.

Who this is not for

This is not a list of the best products for a team of 10. It is every plan we could compute at that size, in price order. We have not used these products, we do not rate them, and no position on this page is for sale. If price is not your constraint, this page will not help you.
