ExpressVPN vs hide.me

ExpressVPN and hide.me both list 57 countries. 56 countries are listed only by ExpressVPN, and 0 only by hide.me.¹

What our measurements show

• ExpressVPN's list gives no server addresses, so none of its locations can be measured. The measurements on this page cover only hide.me.
• 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.
• ExpressVPN's list shows which locations are virtual: 104 of 226. hide.me's list has no such field, so it does not tell you whether any of its locations are virtual.
• On a first visit, ExpressVPN's home page loads 5 advertising or analytics services and hide.me's loads 0, before anything is clicked.

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
