The short version

  • Only Anchorfree has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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; EverWebinar there is no free plan; the cheapest entry is a paid $1 trial that converts to $199 per month
  • They diverge on capability: Anchorfree covers Live streaming, EverWebinar covers Evergreen automation.
