VPN Super Unlimited review: fast and cheap but too barebones to compete

VPN Super Unlimited presents an interesting contradiction. It’s backed by executives from Rakuten, Dropbox, and Electronic Arts, yet it delivers notably bare-bones functionality. Desktop apps conspicuously lack kill switches, split tunneling is Android-only, and promised features like V2Ray remain unimplemented.

VPN Super Unlimited presents an interesting contradiction. It’s backed by executives from Rakuten, Dropbox, and Electronic Arts, yet it delivers notably bare-bones functionality. Desktop apps conspicuously lack kill switches, split tunneling is Android-only, and promised features like V2Ray remain unimplemented. Still, it proved a relatively reliable unblocker in testing, and speed tests showed competitive retention rates. Yet a lack of independent privacy audits and inconsistent feature sets across devices mean the VPN’s high-profile team doesn’t compensate for the simplified product experience overall.

VPN Super Unlimited has amassed various forms of attention. Be it the experienced lineup of executives, the boom of popularity in Australia, or the reasonable price tag, there are several understandable reasons why.

That said, there's clear room for improvement. We've put it through our rigorous processes involving proprietary testing and everyday use and it raises some concerns.

Barebones feature sets, missing security functionalities, and limited privacy policies raise the biggest alarm bells. That said, what it does have, seems to work very well for such a cheap provider. Read on to see just why it might be the VPN for you, or why you should steer clear for now.

Unlike a growing cohort of VPNs that have introduced multiple subscription tiers with varying feature levels, VPN Super Unlimited keeps things simple.

There’s just one subscription tier available, meaning your only decision involves choosing between billing durations: a one-month plan ($8.79), a six-month plan ($5.59/month billed as $33.55), and a one-year plan ($4.79/month billed as $57.50).

VPN Super Unlimited’s one-month plan substantially undercuts most competitors. For comparison, NordVPN charges $14.99 and Surfshark $16.45 for the same duration – a difference approaching double the cost.

However, the annual pricing strategy reveals a more complicated picture. The yearly rate of approximately $57.50 puts it directly alongside these established providers despite offering considerably less functionality overall, making the price harder to justify.

The six-month option stands out as genuinely uncommon among major VPN providers. Most push binary choices – premium monthly rates or annual discounts only. This middle-ground flexibility bridges the gap between short-term commitment and a meaningful discount.

A free tier exists but carries significant limitations requiring careful consideration. You don’t need to sign up to connect to its servers. However, the service runs on ads.

During testing, my desktop experience (macOS) remained ad-free, but iOS suffered from aggressively intrusive full-screen video pop-ups nearly every time I opened the app or connected to a server. Static banner clutter occasionally appeared beneath the connection interface.

VPN Super requests consent to share personal data with over 300 third-party vendors. Collectible information includes current IP addresses, device identifiers, and browsing history unless specifically toggled off during initial setup – which I strongly recommend you do.
