How to choose privacy & virtual cards tools
Virtual card tools give you a substitute card number to use online, so your real card details stay off merchant databases. A few criteria separate the options:
- Pricing model. Privacy.com is freemium, with paid plans from $5/mo. MySudo doesn't publish pricing in our listing, so check its site before you commit.
- Where you shop. Privacy.com is built for US shoppers. If you're outside the US, make sure a tool works in your country before you sign up.
- Platforms. Privacy.com runs on the web, iOS, Android, as a Chrome extension and through an API. MySudo is listed with a Chrome extension.
- Scope. Privacy.com is about the cards themselves: you can lock a card to one merchant and cap how much it can spend. MySudo goes wider and pairs virtual cards with separate identities, which helps if you also want to keep your shopping personas apart.
If you're a developer who wants to automate creating cards, note that only Privacy.com lists an API.
