Michael Thomas - My experience with RapidVPN has been a love/hate relationship. I wish they had more countries and locations available, because the price, and payment options have been easy to manage, and afford for what they provide.
rapidvpn Overview
Payment options include:
- Credit Card

Pricing
Plan prices vary depending on location, but they’re all reasonably priced. For U.S. dedicated IPs plans are priced anywhere from $7.90 to $10.50 billed monthly, while European locations range from a monthly $5.90 to $9.50, They all have similar subscription options to the other plans ranging from 1,2,3,6 and 12 month options, with discounts for longer deals, so a $7.90 a month dedicated US IP costs $4.41 over a year.)
RapidVPN offers dedicated IP plans with addresses in Canada, 5 European countries (Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, UK) and 12 US locations (Philadelphia, Boston, Ashburn, Bend, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Garden City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Phoenix.)
For online gaming we recommend their Offshore VPN plan.
