About TunnelGrade

How TunnelGrade makes VPN prices and product claims easier to compare.

The full bill, with the evidence

TunnelGrade compares first payments, renewals, jurisdictions and the documented limits of VPN privacy claims. We publish source dates and explain what is still unknown.

We do not invent speed tests, scores or customer reviews. Commission and affiliate status do not determine the order of providers.

VPN price questions

Are these converted Dutch prices?

No. This version only accepts USD observations collected for United States. We never convert Dutch EUR prices into a local offer.

What if a local price cannot be verified?

The provider remains in the comparison, with a clear indication that its local checkout price has not yet been verified. Missing tax and renewal amounts are never filled in.

Does the monthly price mean monthly billing?

Usually not for a long subscription. A monthly equivalent divides the first invoice by every included month. The full invoice is normally paid upfront.

How is tax handled?

Sales tax can depend on your billing address. A country-level USD observation is not treated as a tax-inclusive final invoice. Check your state and ZIP code with the provider.

How fresh are the prices?

The scheduled price worker attempts a fresh observation every six hours. A failed attempt never refreshes an old observation date; prices disappear after 72 hours.

Does commission change the order?

No. Provider name is the default order. Price sorting uses only confirmed tax-inclusive first invoices; we do not publish a fabricated overall score.
