The short version

  • Only Sticky Password has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • 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.; Sticky Password offers no dedicated family plan, requiring individual licenses or a Teams plan to cover a household.
  • They diverge on capability: NordVPN covers Military-grade encryption, Sticky Password covers Autofill and capture.
