In PCMag's review, Windscribe VPN earned an Editors' Choice award for its strong speed test results, audited privacy practices, and dedication to purely physical servers across 69 countries. The reviewer highlighted its flexible plans, including an ad-free 10GB monthly free tier with email signup, custom location bundles starting at $3 per month, and full plans at $9 monthly or $69 annually. However, PCMag noted key drawbacks, including the absence of 24/7 live human chat support, missing split-tunneling on iOS, and a strict refund policy capped at seven days and 10GB of usage.
