Compare every VPN, spec by spec
Click any column header to sort. Prices are the cheapest advertised long-term rate per month; we also list renewal pricing because that's what you'll actually pay in year two. Best value in each row is highlighted.
Average download speed (Mbps)
Averaged across independent 2026 lab tests on 1 Gbps lines, including long-distance routes. Higher is better — the spread between #1 and #7 is roughly 100 Mbps.
Server count vs. countries covered
A bigger fleet is not automatically better, but more countries means more options to look like a local wherever you are. PIA and Proton lead on raw numbers; NordVPN leads on country coverage.
Compare two VPNs directly
Pick any two providers to see a side-by-side breakdown of every metric we score, with the winner of each row highlighted.
