Comparing different VPN services makes sense since you want to ensure the plan you ultimately choose will protect your data and allow you to work at faster speeds. Three other contenders, NordVPN, Hotspot Shield and Surfshark, offer similar features and competitive prices.
ExpressVPN vs. NordVPN
NordVPN offers a higher number of services and a maximum number of simultaneous devices, but it does not offer the option of a VPN router like ExpressVPN. However, users who want a dedicated IP address will like that NordVPN offers this service for an extra $5.99 USD ($8.02 CAD) per month. For business users, NordVPN also offers a business-tier subscription called NordLayer.
ExpressVPN vs. Hotspot Shield
Hotspot Shield offers a similar number of servers as ExpressVPN for about the same price, but it has slightly lower user reviews. This option may be a solid choice for users having trouble committing, as it’s one of the only reputable VPNs with a free version. Though when it comes to privacy and security, we don’t recommend relying solely on a free VPN.
ExpressVPN vs. Surfshark
ExpressVPN and Surfshark have a lot in common. Neither VPN offers a dedicated IP (DIP), which grants you the ability to access IP-restricted networks while maintaining your anonymity.
Both VPNs come with 24/7 access to customer support as well as a 30-day money-back guarantee period, have around the same number of servers (ExpressVPN has 3,000 while Surfshark has 3,200) and are compatible with Android, iOS, Mac, Windows and Linux. Surfshark is also compatible with Fire TV.
While ExpressVPN limits the number of devices you can use to five, it offers a higher-speed internet connection and more than double the number of server locations as Surfshark. On the other hand, Surfshark allows users to connect to an unlimited number of devices.
