Ivacy VPN Review 2026: Now Powered by PureVPN
Ivacy is no longer an independent VPN purchase: existing accounts are being handled by PureVPN, while new Ivacy subscriptions are unavailable.
You cannot buy Ivacy as a separate VPN anymore. Existing customers can migrate their account and keep the subscription PureVPN says it will honor, but new buyers should assess PureVPN on its current price, privacy evidence, and limitations instead of relying on an old Ivacy deal.
What we liked
What could be better
The answer is now simple: you cannot buy Ivacy as an independent VPN. Ivacy’s official site says new Ivacy subscriptions are no longer available and describes the service as “Ivacy Powered by PureVPN.” Existing customers are being moved to PureVPN, which says it will honor their current Ivacy plans and add-ons.
That changes the purpose of an Ivacy VPN review. New shoppers should not compare a discontinued Ivacy price with active VPN plans. Existing customers should instead check whether their account has been ported correctly, whether auto-renewal still suits them, and whether the PureVPN service they now receive meets their needs. The site’s 8.4/10 historical score describes the former standalone review; it is not a recommendation to buy a separate Ivacy subscription in 2026.
Can you still buy Ivacy VPN?
No new Ivacy subscriptions are available. The buttons on Ivacy’s site now lead users toward a service managed by PureVPN, and the site’s FAQ states that future purchases will be handled through PureVPN. A price attached to an old Ivacy plan is therefore not a current offer for an independent product.
This distinction matters because an unusually cheap multi-year Ivacy deal used to be the brand’s main selling point. That comparison is obsolete. If you are shopping now, compare the active PureVPN offer with other active providers and read the renewal terms shown at checkout.
| Your situation | What to do next |
|---|---|
| You already pay Ivacy directly | Sign in to the Ivacy member area and complete the PureVPN porting flow if prompted. |
| You bought through Google Play or Apple’s App Store | Follow Ivacy’s instruction to cancel the store subscription before porting, then verify the new billing state. |
| You have a lifetime Ivacy account | The migration guide says lifetime users can skip adding payment details during porting. Confirm the resulting expiry and renewal status in PureVPN. |
| You want to buy Ivacy for the first time | Do not use an old Ivacy price or review as a checkout guide. Review the current PureVPN product instead. |
What changes for existing Ivacy customers?
PureVPN’s migration guide says clients have been moved to “Ivacy Powered by PureVPN.” You do not need to create a new account. The documented route starts in the Ivacy member area, sends you to a migration notice, and then transfers you into the PureVPN member area using your existing credentials.
The provider says your Ivacy subscription and add-ons will be honored. That is reassuring, but it is still worth saving a copy of your old plan details before you port. Record the remaining term, original renewal price, enabled add-ons, billing method, and whether auto-renewal is on. After migration, compare each item with the PureVPN account page.
The payment step differs by billing channel. Ivacy says customers who paid it directly through providers such as PayPal or Stripe do not need to change their payment method. Customers billed by Google Play or Apple’s App Store are instructed to cancel the store subscription before porting. That extra step is important because it reduces the risk of an old store renewal continuing alongside the migrated account.
If the account state does not match what you bought, stop before purchasing another plan. Contact PureVPN support with the old invoice, the migration confirmation, and screenshots of the current subscription page. A second purchase can make a billing problem harder to untangle.
What service do migrated users receive?
The practical product after migration is PureVPN, not the old standalone Ivacy service. PureVPN currently lists apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Android TV, Fire TV, Apple TV, and compatible routers. Its current support documentation allows 10 simultaneous connections on a standard account.
PureVPN’s server page lists 6,000+ servers in 65+ countries and 80+ locations. Those are PureVPN figures. They should not be presented as proof that the old Ivacy network, apps, or routing remain unchanged. Existing customers should check the PureVPN app for the locations and features they actually use.
The same rule applies to streaming and speed. Old Ivacy results do not establish how a migrated PureVPN account will perform on a particular connection or video service. Test the exact country, device, and service you need after porting. If you rely on an incoming port, dedicated IP, or another add-on, verify that it appears in the new account before assuming continuity.

What happens to pricing and auto-renewal?
Ivacy says the existing auto-renewal preference carries over during porting and that current pricing will be retained unless the customer turns renewal off. Treat that as a provider commitment to verify against your own account. Save the pre-migration terms and set a reminder before the next charge.
There is no meaningful new-customer Ivacy price to list. For comparison, PureVPN’s official order page showed its Standard plan in US dollars at $58.20 for the first 27 months when checked on July 22, 2026. PureVPN displayed that as $2.15 per month, while dividing the total by 27 rounds to $2.16. The plan then renews at $47.95 per year. Promotions, tax, and regional checkout terms can change, so the total and renewal price on the final checkout screen are the controlling figures.
PureVPN states that eligible initial purchases have a 31-day refund window, while renewal payments are excluded. That policy applies to PureVPN purchases. It should not be used to promise a fresh refund period for a migrated Ivacy subscription.
Privacy and security after the migration
An old Ivacy privacy assessment is no longer enough to judge the service handling current traffic. The relevant current entity is PureVPN and its operator, GZ Systems Private Ltd in the British Virgin Islands. PureVPN’s privacy policy, last updated February 25, 2026, says it does not keep logs that identify or monitor a user’s activity.
PureVPN also advertises an Always-On assessment arrangement. The public evidence needs careful wording: the available KPMG letter covers work performed in February 2023, with post-assessment validation in March and April 2023. KPMG sampled 7 VPN servers and supporting infrastructure in 6 countries, and explicitly said the engagement was neither a full privacy assessment nor a cybersecurity assessment.
That evidence is more useful than an unsupported no-logs slogan, but it is not a blanket guarantee for every app, server, or future configuration. Existing Ivacy customers should decide whether PureVPN’s current policy, legal entity, and published assessment scope meet their threat model. Our full PureVPN review covers that trust question and the provider’s history in more depth.
Is Ivacy still a real alternative to PureVPN?
No. Ivacy may remain visible as a brand and login path, but it is no longer an independent purchase that diversifies you away from PureVPN. Comparing Ivacy against PureVPN as though they were separate providers creates a false choice.
New customers should compare PureVPN with genuinely separate services. Our PureVPN vs Surfshark comparison examines the active products, while the best VPN services guide provides a broader shortlist.
If PureVPN is the right fit after that comparison, use the current PureVPN offer, not the retired Ivacy checkout path. Confirm the first-term total, annual renewal, and any paid add-ons before submitting payment.
Who should migrate, review, or cancel?
Migrate and keep the service if your existing Ivacy term is still good value, the PureVPN account preserves the promised expiry and add-ons, and the current apps work on your devices. There is no reason to discard prepaid time solely because the brand changed.
Migrate, then turn off auto-renewal if you want to use the remaining term but do not yet want a future charge. Check the member area after changing the setting and save the confirmation.
Contact support before proceeding if the remaining term, billing method, lifetime status, or add-ons differ after porting. Do not buy a replacement plan until the original entitlement is documented.
Compare alternatives before renewing if you chose Ivacy because it was independent, because of an old five-year price, or because a specific old app feature mattered. The product and trust decision now belongs to PureVPN.
FAQ
Did Ivacy shut down?
Ivacy did not simply disappear, but it is no longer sold as an independent subscription. Its official site calls the current service “Ivacy Powered by PureVPN,” and PureVPN handles migrated accounts, existing subscriptions, and new purchases.
Can I buy a new Ivacy subscription in 2026?
No. Ivacy’s official FAQ says new Ivacy subscriptions are no longer available. New purchases are handled through PureVPN, so compare the current PureVPN offer and renewal terms instead of relying on an old Ivacy deal.
Will PureVPN honor my existing Ivacy plan?
PureVPN says it will honor existing Ivacy plans and add-ons. Save your original invoice and plan details, then confirm the expiry, renewal setting, and add-ons after migration. Contact support if anything differs.
Do I need a new PureVPN account?
No. The migration guide says you can port the account with your existing Ivacy credentials. Customers billed through an app store have an extra step: cancel the store subscription before completing the migration.
Is Ivacy still independent from PureVPN?
No. The current Ivacy site and PureVPN support documentation describe Ivacy as merged into “Ivacy Powered by PureVPN.” New shoppers should not treat the two names as separate provider choices.
