The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; SentinelOne pricing is per endpoint rather than per user, with Singularity Complete listed at $179.99/yr per endpoint and Singularity Commercial at $229.99/yr per endpoint, while the top Singularity Enterprise tier is quote only ("Contact Sales for Pricing").
  • They diverge on capability: NordVPN covers Military-grade encryption, SentinelOne covers AI-powered detection.
