Youll probably want to consider couple different VPNs before committing to one. In order to make your search easier, weve compared HotSpot Shield with two of its competitors, ProtonVPN and CyberGhost.

HotSpot is by far the most expensive option, but it does come with some features that could potentially make it worth it, depending on what your priorities are. Hotspot Shield comes with a password manager and a spam blocker as part of its plan. This includes a platform to manage your passwords, generate unique ones and notifications when your account or passwords have been compromised. The spam blocker will block calls that are spam but also allow you to look up numbers to verify whether or not they are spam. If these two tools are ones you plan to use, or are already paying for, it may factor into the total cost of the service.

Hotspot Shield also offers a free version, which many VPN services do not offer. The free version allows you to connect one device and has limited data of up to 500 MB per day. However, if you havent used a VPN before, or want to get a sense of Hotspot Shields user interface, it could be a good option to start with.

Hotspot Shield allows you to connect up to five devices for its standard paid plan. With the premium family planwhich costs $11.99 per month or $143.88 annuallyyoull be able to share the VPN with up to five members, and each member will be able to use up to five devices. The company outshines the competition with its money-back guarantee policy of 45 days, while the industry standard is 30 days or less.
