The short version

  • Only LastPass has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: LastPass free plan limited to 1 device type only; 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: LastPass covers Password vault, NordVPN covers Military-grade encryption.
