What a business VPN costs per user, at your team size
Type the number of people who need access. The list re-ranks itself, because minimum user counts and fixed charges decide small teams and barely touch large ones.

Why the ranking moves so much
Two things move it. A minimum user count makes a plan expensive per person for a small team, and stops mattering once you are past it. A fixed monthly charge does the same thing more sharply, because it does not shrink at all. Set the number to two and then to fifty and watch the order change.
A third thing moves the published figure itself: the billing term. Where a vendor prints both, the annual rate is the one used here, and paying by the month runs 18% to 29% higher.

What changed here
Seven entries are recorded, for Firezone and OpenVPN CloudConnexa, the latest on 2026-09-05. Each one keeps the old value, the new value and the reason. The change log lists every entry by month, and the RSS feed carries them as they are recorded.
Saving it for next time
Save this scenario in this browser keeps the team size, currency, type and the vendors you ticked in this browser's own storage, with the date. Nothing goes to us. When you come back, the top of this page lists every change this site recorded for those vendors after that date, with the old value, the new one and whether it was the vendor changing its page or us correcting a figure. Mark as seen moves the date forward; Forget it clears the lot.
If you know when your current contract renews, put the date in and Reminder 30 days before renewal gives you a calendar file (.ics) for that day, holding the link to this scenario and nothing else. Most renewals need notice, so that is the last comfortable day to re-check the table.
Who this is not for
If you are choosing based on security architecture, device support or throughput, this tool has nothing to say. It compares published prices and does not know whether any of these products is any good.
