The short version

  • Only Marvel has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: ExpressVPN the App Store listing (seller Expressco Services, LLC) states subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the billing period, and that any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited on purchase; Marvel pricing is not shown on the product pages
  • They diverge on capability: ExpressVPN covers Lightway protocol, Marvel covers Drag-and-drop prototyping.
