VPNs are less safe than TOR. It's really simple, TOR has many nodes and no centralized auditing. VPNs are single node with centralized auditing (logs). See what happened to lavabit and you'll see why no VPNs are safe.
I use VPNs just for watching netflix and getting around Geo-restrictions ONLY. Although, sadly, using a VPN just flags my connection in way that makes it more likely to be monitored by an analyst. I sure as heck wouldn't use a VPN for something dirty (which I don't even do unless being a racist is somehow illegal).
