About iTop VPN

iTop VPN is a consumer VPN operated by iTop Inc., a software company founded in 2016 that also develops products like iTop Screen Recorder. Its Scout Score sits at 65, with a privacy sub-score of 62 and a jurisdiction rating that places it in Tier 3, reflecting Hong Kong governing law. That jurisdiction is worth understanding rather than fearing: Hong Kong is not a member of the 5/9/14 Eyes intelligence-sharing arrangements, but its legal environment carries its own well-documented complications. Compounding that, the company publishes no verifiable corporate address, which limits transparency about who ultimately stands behind the service.

On logging, iTop's privacy policy claims it keeps no activity logs, and the service ships a kill switch. The important caveat is documentary: that no-logs claim has never been independently audited. In our framework an unaudited policy is a promise, not verified evidence, and that gap is a large part of why the privacy score lands where it does. Buyers who prioritise externally validated logging claims should treat this as unverified rather than proven.

Pricing is heavily promotion-driven, and the intro rates should be read carefully. The documented plans are: 3 Years (structured as 24 months plus 12 free promotional months) at an intro $1.66/mo, billed $59.99; 2 Years at an intro $2.50/mo, also billed $59.99; and 1 Year at an intro $3.99/mo, billed $47.99. Every plan is backed by a 30-day money-back window. The significant honesty note is that renewal prices are not disclosed on any tier, so the long-term cost after the first term is unknown at purchase.

We do not run a lab, so we make no speed or throughput claims here; performance ranking falls outside documented evidence and is handled separately in our score methodology. On fit: iTop may suit casual users chasing a low first-term price who accept an unaudited policy and undisclosed renewals. Skip it if you require an independently audited no-logs claim, clear corporate transparency, or predictable renewal pricing — those are exactly the areas where the documentation is thin or absent.
