Use this when the user wants to compare VPN subscriptions, find the cheapest VPN, or choose a VPN for streaming or torrenting. Ranks a curated catalog of US-priced (USD) VPN plans (NordVPN, Surfshark, ExpressVPN, Proton VPN, Private Internet Access, CyberGhost), cheapest first, by effective monthly cost over the preferred term including renewals, and shows the upfront price, renewal price, devices, money-back days, audited no-logs (with auditor), jurisdiction and RAM-only servers; privacy facts not confirmed on the provider's own pages are marked unconfirmed. Prices are US/USD prices; local checkout prices may differ. The catalog is a selection, not the whole market; each result states the oldest price-check date. Inputs, all optional: term_months (1, 12, 24 or 36), min_devices, needs (streaming, p2p; plans where the feature is unconfirmed are excluded), country (only adds a note when not US) and checkout (default false: pricing-page links; true: plan-preselected checkout links). No personal data is used. Keywords: best VPN, cheapest VPN, VPN comparison, VPN deals, VPN for streaming, VPN for torrenting.
