AzireVPN vs hide.me

AzireVPN and hide.me both list 34 countries. 2 countries are listed only by AzireVPN, and 23 only by hide.me.¹

What our measurements show

34 countries are in both lists. Our measurements confirm the listed country for AzireVPN in 32 of them and for hide.me in 32. In the rest, no location has been measured yet, or the measurement does not allow a conclusion.
For 2 of hide.me's 64 measured locations, the server is outside the listed country. Measurements on two days showed this, and hide.me's list does not mark any of them as virtual.
Neither list has a field for virtual locations, so the lists do not tell you whether either provider uses any.
In 4 of the 34 countries both list, servers of both providers are in the same network, for example Datacamp Limited in Australia. In those countries, switching to the other provider does not get you a different network.
Neither home page loads advertising or analytics services on a first visit.

From our own data: the server lists we read, our measurements, and our check of each home page. Apps, speed, and streaming are not tested.²
