The short version

  • Only Anchorfree has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 6Connex 6connex.com now redirects to Brandlive, so the product is no longer sold or priced under its own name; Anchorfree the vendor's own domain (anchorfree.com), as captured by the Internet Archive on 11 January 2023, redirects to and displays the Pango Group corporate site, stating Pango Group is owned and operated by Aura and describes itself as a portfolio of consumer security brands; AnchorFree's original product (Hotspot Shield) survives only under the Pango/Aura ownership structure, confirming the acquisition in the vendor's own words rather than a third party account
  • They diverge on capability: 6Connex covers 3D virtual environments, Anchorfree covers Audience management.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.
