IPVanish has two tiers to choose from: essential, which has all the basic features, and advanced, which adds a secure browser, cloud backup, file sharing and phone support. The essential tier costs £9.99 if you pay monthly, £2.92 per month when you pay yearly and £1.58 per month when you pay for two years. The advanced plan costs £11.49 monthly, £3.27 yearly and £2.39 for a two-year plan.

The prices are roughly in line with the rest of the VPN market. We’d recommend steering clear of two-year plans unless you’re absolutely sure the VPN is right for you, as you could end up locked into a service that doesn’t work for your purposes or gets slow speeds in your area – but the one-year plans beat NordVPN’s pricing (£3.79 per month for basic and £6.49 for ultimate).

There’s no free trial for IPVanish and payment is upfront, though you can cancel any time within the first 30 days and receive a refund. IPVanish recently started accepting GBP too, so you’ll avoid currency conversion fees when you sign up. The advanced tier comes with 1TB of online storage with LiveDrive, priced separately the service is expensive at $14.99 (£12) per month, $4.49 (£3.65) per month for a one-year plan and $3.29 (£2.60) per month for a two-year plan.

There are much cheaper cloud storage options out there, and some free alternatives if you don’t need that much space. Dropbox and Google Drive offer 2GB and 15GB of free online storage respectively. Dropbox Plus offers 2TB (2,000GB) of storage for £7.99 per month, while Google One offers 2TB of storage for £7.99 per month.
