Surfshark vs CyberGhost in Australia

Comparevs

Surfshark and CyberGhost both bill in Australian dollars, so you can compare their prices without a currency conversion. Surfshark puts no limit on devices; CyberGhost, according to CNET, is owned by Kape Technologies. We retested Surfshark from Melbourne in October 2026; our CyberGhost results date from August 2021.

On our latest figures, Surfshark covers unlimited devices and was tested by us more recently; CyberGhost is slightly cheaper per month and gives you longer to ask for a refund.

Surfshark costs from A$3.49 a month on its cheapest plan, and CyberGhost from A$3.27. That makes CyberGhost about A$0.22 a month cheaper on current prices. Surfshark offers a 30-day money-back period and CyberGhost 45 days. Surfshark covers unlimited devices and CyberGhost 7 devices at once. Both list servers in 100 countries. On a local server in our own tests, Surfshark kept 94% of our download speed (October 2026) and CyberGhost 93% (August 2021). Those results come from different test rounds on different connections, so compare them with care. Tested on an account Surfshark gave us free of charge (16–25 Oct 2026). In our current calculated comparison, Surfshark is number 1 and CyberGhost number 7.
