03Which plan should you buy?
| If you are… | Get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Teams needing basic internet security | Lite | It is the entry plan at $8 per user/month with annual billing, but requires at least five users. |
| Teams needing access controls | Core | It is listed at $11 per user/month with annual billing; budget an extra $40/month for its required dedicated-IP server. |
| Teams needing segmentation and site links | Premium | It is listed at $14 per user/month with annual billing and includes a 14-day money-back guarantee; the required server adds $40/month. |
04Is NordLayer worth the money?
NordLayer can be worth paying for when its access controls, dedicated connectivity and segmentation match how your team secures work. But Lite already has a five-user floor, and Core and Premium add a required $40/month server cost; add-ons can raise spend further. For a small team seeking only basic VPN access, the minimum and annual-only listed pricing make value harder to judge. For larger organizations, Enterprise starts lower per user but requires 200 or more seats.
