  • 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; Zscaler Internet Access the pricing page names two base tiers, Essentials Platform and Zscaler Platform, plus modular add ons including three Digital Experience Monitoring tiers, but publishes no dollar figures anywhere and routes buyers to a demo request for cost
