When choosing between the two, it may be worth considering which countries you plan to connect your VPN through the most often, and whether the provider has servers in your country of choice rather than sheer number of servers. Having a network spread across such a wide range of countries is especially helpful if you’re trying to access geo-restricted content. Where HMA truly stands out is in the number of locations: the company has servers in more than 210 countries, while, for example, Hotspot Shield has around 3,200 servers spread over around 80 countries. The number of servers a company has can help increase the chances that you’ll have a fast connection. In terms of server network, HMA has about 1,090 servers, which is fewer than both Private Internet Access and Hotspot Shield. The number commonly ranges from five to 10, and some providers allow unlimited connections. When it comes to the number of devices you can use with your subscription, HMA is on the lower end.
At the same time, Private Internet Access offers a two-year plan for a total of $69.95 (or $2.69 per month). When you commit long term, you’ll be billed $107.64, which comes out to $2.99 per month, instead of $4.99 per month for the one-year plan.
What sets HMA apart from its competitors is that prices become significantly more competitive when you sign up for a three-year plan. HMA is not the most expensive VPN on the market, but it isn’t the cheapest either.
