CyberGhost vs Mullvad
Mullvad is the anonymity purist's VPN: no email required to sign up, a random account number instead of an identity, and a single flat price with no discount games. CyberGhost trades some of that anonymity for a much bigger server network and broader device support.
Side-by-side
| Factor | CyberGhost | Mullvad |
|---|---|---|
| Jurisdiction | Romania (no data-retention law) | Sweden (14-Eyes member) |
| Independent audit | Yes — Deloitte | Yes — publishes audit reports |
| Sign-up requires email | ✓ Yes | ✗ No — random account number |
| Price | €2.19/mo (26-mo plan, billed €56.94 upfront) (intro rate) | ≈ $5.5/mo flat, no discounts or renewal jump |
| Simultaneous devices | 7 | 5 |
| Server network | 100 countries | Smaller, more concentrated network |
Where CyberGhost wins
CyberGhost's 100-country server network and support for Smart TVs, routers and streaming boxes go well beyond what Mullvad offers, and it unlocks more streaming platforms.
Where Mullvad has the edge
Mullvad doesn't ask for an email address at all, accepts cash by mail, and charges one flat price forever — no intro-rate-then-autorenew math to track. Sweden is technically a 14-Eyes member, which is a real trade-off against Romania's jurisdiction, but Mullvad's minimal-data-collection design and pricing honesty are hard to beat for privacy purists.
Choose CyberGhost if you want a large server network, streaming unlocks and multi-device/Smart-TV support. Choose Mullvad if anonymous sign-up and a single honest price matter more to you than jurisdiction or server count.
