If you're willing to commit for a few years of your chosen service, there aren't many other providers out there that can match what these two are up to - it's the main reason why you may be looking at one of these instead of the relatively costly ExpressVPN. ![]() It's no surprise that both these providers feature in healthy spots on our cheap VPN countdown. Hotspot Shield vs Surfshark: Plans, pricing and trials Indeed, because of the way that Hotspot runs with its own proprietary protocol, it actually means that using it on such a large breadth of different devices is tricky anyway. ![]() While the latter point is unlikely to cause too many issues day-to-day, Surfshark may swing your opinion if you do like to use your VPN on every laptop, phone, tablet, router, smart TV, games consoles and TV streaming device going. Specs-wise, Surfshark has got Hotspot Shield licked when it comes to simultaneous device connections (unlimited plays six) and server count (3,200 almost doubles Hotspot's 1,800).
