## Kitsmith's take

Mullvad’s entire pitch is refusing the tricks the rest of this section runs on — one flat €5/month price whether you pay for one month or several, no ballooning renewal rate, and no email required to sign up (accounts are a randomly generated number). Its app source code is public on GitHub, and the company points to its own externally-commissioned security audits rather than asking for trust on faith. The tradeoff for that simplicity is the opposite of NordVPN or Surfshark: there is no free tier, no bundled extras, and pricing is quoted in euros rather than dollars since Mullvad VPN AB is based in Sweden.

## Features

- **Anonymous accounts:** No email or personal info required to sign up — accounts are identified by a randomly generated number.
- **No-logging policy, externally audited:** Mullvad commissions independent audits of its app and infrastructure (most recently by X41 D-Sec and Leviathan) rather than asking users to trust an unverified no-logs claim.
- **Open-source app:** The VPN app’s source code is public on GitHub (mullvad/mullvadvpn-app).

## FAQ

**Why is Mullvad priced in euros?**

Its legal entity, Mullvad VPN AB, is based in Sweden, per the company’s own site — pricing is set in EUR rather than USD.
