The short version

  • Only NordPass has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: NordPass business plan pricing is rendered client-side per user per month rather than published as a static figure on the 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.
