NordVPN is located in Panama, allowing it to take full advantage of the country’s lack of data retention regulations. The provider keeps no logs of any kind, and it accepts various cryptocurrencies as payment for their services.

IPVanish is located in the less-than-privacy-friendly United States, but maintains that it keeps no logs of any kind related to their users’ online travels. U.S. online privacy laws are in a constant state of flux, so all of this could change at any time. This provider does not accept Bitcoin or any other privacy-preserving method of payment.

Supplementary question ... why? Depending on what you're wanting to use it for, some providers may be better than others.

Itll be mostly for streaming tv/film, region free etc

Streaming through official (Netflix, Prime Video etc.) or unofficial channels? A bit of Googling will tell you which providers Netflix etc. try to target to stop people getting around region locks.

A lot of streaming sites know if you're on a VPN and will still restrict you.

Install realdebrid not only give you better quality download links,also has its own VPN. 3$ a month.

Mullvad is better than both and probably cheaper (€5/month).

NORD has worked really well for us on Netflix and American Tv channels, if one server doesn't work the next one will. Have just renewed for 3 years. Best thing about it is that its based in Panama so unlikely any country able to get info unless terrorism related. And if they request logs they don't keep them. There was a scare story circulated recently but if you google NORDS response it is self explanatory

So the issues seem to be
1) cost
2) security- is it based in a country with a prying government and can it reveal yur identity
but can we also add
3) is it easy for a non-IT expert to use?
How do they compare?

Cheapest way to buy it was through Quidco a few months back, haven't checked recently as after cashback got 3 years for around 50
