MarcoVPN

A small Android and Windows VPN with a Russian-first site

MarcoVPN is a small, single-product VPN service built around two apps: one for Android phones and one for Windows computers. Its homepage is written first in Russian, and a language menu offers the site in 9 languages: Russian, English, Ukrainian, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Turkish. The page advertises its 9 interface languages as a feature in its own right. Prices are shown in US dollars. The Android app is installed from Google Play, and the Windows app is a .exe download, with a separate build for Snapdragon-based computers. The site does not say which countries it sells to, and it names no country where it will not sell. Its guide pages focus on travel, with separate pages for preparing a trip to Europe, the US, Germany and Turkey. The site does not name the payment methods it accepts. The homepage says access is stored in the user's account after payment, so the app is ready to use after signing in.

One inconsistency appears early. The top of the homepage and the download buttons cover only Android and Windows, but a later paragraph says MarcoVPN suits Android and iPhone as well as Windows and Mac. No iPhone or Mac download is offered on the page, so buyers on Apple devices should not assume an app exists.

What the site says about logs, and who runs it

The homepage makes no specific logging promise. It talks about privacy in general terms, saying the VPN helps people use public Wi-Fi more safely, sign in to accounts and keep more privacy while browsing, working and traveling. It also says the account, payments and connections are protected against repeated login attempts and suspicious activity. It never states what data the service keeps about connections, IP addresses or traffic. The footer links a privacy policy, an offer agreement (the Russian-language form of a terms of service) and an account deletion page. The site does not name an independent audit of its logging policy.

On ownership, the footer reads only "MarcoVPN © 2026". The site does not name the company behind it, does not say where the company is based, and names no parent or sister brand.

Apps, servers and how the service works

The service is deliberately simple. The homepage describes a short path: choose a plan, install the app, sign in and connect. One account works on both the phone and the computer, and the app pulls its list of locations and plans from the website, so changes on the site reach the app automatically. The personal account holds the plan, balance, orders, apps and available locations in one place. Users pick a location by country or city and can see each server's current load and response time before connecting.

The network is small and listed openly. The homepage shows 7 named servers: 2 in the Netherlands (Drenthe and Dronten), 1 in San Jose in the United States, 1 in Bucharest in Romania, 1 in London in the United Kingdom, and 2 in Frankfurt in Germany. Each entry shows a live load figure. Four of these (the 2 Dutch servers, San Jose and Bucharest) are marked as available without a plan. London and both Frankfurt servers require at least the Basic plan.

The page does not name a VPN protocol or an encryption standard, and it does not mention a kill switch, split tunneling, ad blocking, a dedicated IP or port forwarding. It does not make streaming or torrenting claims either. The use cases it lists are public Wi-Fi in cafes, hotels and airports, travel, remote work, video calls, online shopping, messengers and everyday browsing, with further guide pages for gaming, study, families and content creators.

Plans, prices and the free tier

The plan table has three tiers, and the numbers on each card do not fully agree with each other.

The Free plan is 0.00 USD a month. Its description promises up to 10 GB of traffic a month at up to 5/5 Mbit, but the bullet list on the same card says up to 2 GB a month, 2 devices and 30 days of access. The site explains the free tier as a way to try the app before paying. It does not say how the free tier is funded beyond the paid plans.

The Basic plan is shown at 4.79 USD a month, with a note that the monthly price applies to a 12-month purchase. The description says up to 100 GB of traffic at up to 20/20 Mbit, while the bullets say up to 200 GB a month, 1 device and speeds up to 20/20 Mbit. A separate figure of 2.99 dollars a month sits above the card without explanation.

The Premium plan is shown at 5.59 USD a month, again for a 12-month purchase. It offers unlimited traffic, 2 devices and speeds up to 100/100 Mbit; the homepage banner repeats "100 Mbit" for Premium, while the bullet list says the speed is unlimited. A figure of 5.99 dollars a month sits above this card too.

The page does not show the total billed for 12 months, the price of shorter terms, or a renewal price. It does not mention a refund policy or a money-back guarantee. The homepage advertises 24/7 access to the service, which describes availability rather than a support desk, and it names no support channel. An FAQ link covers setup questions.

What the site leaves open, and who it suits

The gaps are large for a paid service. The site names no operator and no jurisdiction. It makes no concrete logging statement, so there is no logging claim to weigh at all. It names no protocol and no payment method. The plan cards contradict themselves on data allowances and speeds, and two unexplained dollar figures sit beside the prices. The platform list is also inconsistent: the downloads cover only Android and Windows, but one paragraph mentions iPhone and Mac.

What it does offer is a plain, low-cost setup. The free tier needs no payment, the 4 servers that need no plan cover the Netherlands, the US and Romania, and the paid plans stay at single-digit dollar prices on a yearly term. For a Russian speaker on an Android phone or a Windows laptop who wants a basic tunnel on hotel or airport Wi-Fi, with a short server list shown openly, it is simple to try. Anyone who needs to know who runs the service, what it logs or how it encrypts traffic will not find those answers on the site.
