Our verdict
CyberGhost is slightly cheaper on a two-year plan and offers a generous 45-day money-back guarantee. But Surfshark takes this duel: speeds were higher in our tests, streaming was more dependable, and you get unlimited devices against seven at CyberGhost. For the small difference per month, Surfshark is the more complete service.
“Unlimited devices for a few dollars a month is a combination nobody else matches. Speeds held up well in our tests and streaming worked fine. The best value in this lineup.”Editorial team, on Surfshark
“A huge server network and a 45-day money-back guarantee on long plans. Speeds are good but not top-tier. For the promo price, you get a lot for your money.”Editorial team, on CyberGhost
