I use mullvad and the main reasons I pay the 5$ a month are:

1) I do believe it is quite private

2) the socksv5 proxy is useful to prevent qbittorrent connecting to the internet at work by mistake

3) if the network is spotty or a bit unstable the vpn hides the instability from apps

4) I don't trust my isp DNS

5) geoblocking (mullvad is not the best at this though)
