Curiously, a competitor called IPVanish looks to be a worthy opponent and offers unlimited device connections, a high number of country connections, and a slightly lower price. It’s worth considering. That’s because price and value are so closely tied. NordVPN offers far more servers and a more professional and well-designed product. NordVPN is one of our top picks in a crowded market, and the lower price for IPVanish isn’t quite enough to make it a top pick. You won’t be able to experiment as much with IPVanish in selecting a server and checking the speed or in finding workarounds for streaming and downloads from other locations. With IPVanish, there are more countries available—about 75 countries compared to only 60 for NordVPN. IPVanish allows unlimited device connections per account, which increased the value of the product dramatically. Power users who own multiple gadgets like smartphones, tablets, laptops, and gaming consoles will prefer this VPN service because there are no restrictions on how you connect. NordVPN, on the other hand, caps you at six devices.

Pricing: IPVanish offers a lower cost plan than NordVPN by a few dollars. Number of servers: NordVPN has a much higher number of servers available. Number of countries: IPVanish lets you connect in over 75 countries. Number of devices: IPVanish offers unlimited device connections per account.
