There's an "Install an app" button inside our mobile app. When you click on this button you are offered other apps for installation. For each app installed, Betternet earns money from the app publishers.
By clicking on the "Watch a video and connect" button inside the Betternet app, you can watch a short video. Every time you watch a video, you help Betternet earn money.

As you can see on Betternet's "Costs & Income" chart, our free revenue model can only cover our server costs.

But most importantly, the premium service guarantees the highest quality of service for our users.
