If the free Betternet VPN service is your only interest, then please check out the relevant subsection below. As such, any complaints made about Betternet’s free VPN do not necessarily apply to the premium service. The paid Betternet service wasn’t criticized by the CSIRO study and isn’t funded by advertising. This review is of Betternet’s premium (paid) service. Is it any worse than the other 75% of free VPNs out there? Well, with 14 tracking libraries for serving adverts, it may not be worse, but it is definitely better at it. Thus it’s common for free VPN services to create revenue by serving adverts.

This is one reason why regularly reminds consumers about the difference between paid VPNs and free VPNs. However, that same study discovered that 75% of free VPN apps use similar tracking to serve adverts. This is mainly due to a CSIRO study that found it to be serving adverts to its users. It is a free service that has come under a lot of criticism in the past year. Betternet is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) provider with 38 million users worldwide.
