The short version

  • Only Lark has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Lark lark's own pricing page description states it offers a free starter pack, a Pro plan, and an Enterprise plan, and directs buyers to Contact us rather than publishing Pro/Enterprise figures on the rendered page.; NordVPN the App Store listing states the app is free to download but is non-functional without purchasing a subscription first; no price figure appears anywhere in the listing itself, only the requirement to buy a plan before VPN access works.
  • They diverge on capability: Lark covers Team messaging, NordVPN covers Military-grade encryption.
