Pros
“Windscribe offers a free plan with limited monthly data. If you require unlimited data, you will need to subscribe to one of their premium plans, which can be relatively expensive compared to other VPN services.”

“Windscibe has a free plan with 10GB month of data plus they also offer a paid pro plan with unlimited data or a custom plan.”

“Windscribe has extensions for almost every browser on a computer/laptop we use, so we can set a different location for different browsers (unlike some VPNs that only run on the Windows level).”

Cons
“The Ui can be a bit overly complicated the application window is a strange shape and personally I don't think you need to see as much data on the main screen other Vpns like Tunnelbear take a more minimalist approach. ”

“On the free plan, the servers available are very limited and have unclear names and the IPs get flagged as spam on most IP checker sites.”

Value for money rating:

Of 52 reviews that provide robust commentary on Windscribe 's price and value, mention it in a positive light.

Most reviewers indicate that Windscribe offers strong value for money, especially due to its generous free plan, which provides a higher monthly data allowance than many competitors. Most users consider the ability to increase free data through referrals and promotions a major benefit, with some saying the referral system even allows them to access paid features at no cost. Most reviewers appreciate the flexibility to choose between a free plan, a paid unlimited plan, or building a custom plan to suit their needs and budget. They say the free tier includes a substantial range of features and is sufficient for many use cases, while the paid plans are described as affordable, with occasional sales and promo codes making them even more accessible. Some users report that Windscribe’s multi-platform support and the ability to pay with cryptocurrency add further value. Some reviewers feel that being able to try the service for free before committing to a paid plan is important. A few users mention that the free tier lacks some features and that pricing can be high for certain regions, but most find the cost-benefit ratio favorable compared to other VPNs.
