DuckDuckGo has introduced a new paid subscription service called 'Privacy Pro,' which includes a VPN, personal data removal, and identity theft restoration.
The expansion comes as DuckDuckGo's market rises. Estimates gathered earlier this year show DuckDuckGo has amassed a user base of 46 million people, with an estimated 3.1 billion searches per month, as of January 2024.
The Breakdown
The VPN service provided by DuckDuckGo emphasizes privacy, security, and simplicity, with a strict no-logs policy and encryption of internet traffic.
The subscription cost for Privacy Pro is $9.99/month or $99.99/year, offering all three services at one-third of the price of purchasing them separately.
DuckDuckGo's launch of Privacy Pro expands its privacy-focused offerings and enters the competitive VPN market, aiming to provide users with a comprehensive solution for protecting their online privacy and security.
