VPN comparison: CyberGhost or Surfshark, the match!

On YouTube or on TV, VPNs are everywhere. These software and applications make it possible to encrypt your data and your traffic on the Internet, to mask your geographical location and to circumvent censorship and geolocation (banned sites, locked content, etc.) Among these services, two stand out: CyberGhost and Surfshark. Why ? While they offer the same features as their competitors, these two VPNs are offered at very low prices: €2.19 and €2.30. Interesting prices when you know that ExpressVPN is offered at €7.02 and that for NordVPN, you will have to pay outright €5.49 monthly.

Why pay more?

The price difference between all these services is above all justified by the cost of marketing each other. A VPN doesn’t have to cost that much. If you hear about NordVPN everywhere it’s because it spends lavishly on partnerships and advertisements. This cost is passed on to the customer…

CyberGhost and Surfshark are the two cheapest in the industry and yet they do not offer fewer features than the others. They also work the same way when it comes to payment. Because in the small world of VPNs, you don’t pay per month with a commitment: you pay the whole amount at once at the start. This avoids the worries of tacit renewal of the contract.

By opting for one or the other, you can protect all your devices: PC, mobile (Android and iOS), Mac, smartTV, console, router, etc. Passing Internet traffic to your computer and smartphone through a VPN is the bare minimum. Let’s compare the two offers…

CyberGhost VS Surfshark

At Surfshark you will have to pay €59.76 for 26 months (2 years + 2 months free), which amounts to paying €2.30/month. At CyberGhost, the price is 56.94 for 26 months (2 years + 2 months also free) which amounts to €2.19/month. In terms of price, the two are neck and neck. Be aware, however, that the reflection period is 30 days for Surfshark and 45 days for CyberGhost.

A few small differences here and there…

• Number of servers: 9265 in 91 countries for CyberGhost and 3200 in 99 countries for Surfshark
• Device Types Protected: Windows, Android, Mac, iOS, Router, Browsers, FireTV, Consoles, etc.
• Number of devices protected at the same time: 7 for CyberGhost and unlimited for Surfshark
• Speed: On the servers in France, the two are really equal (slight advantage to CyberGhost on the ping).
• Other features: both VPNs offer MultiHop (traffic goes through two wire-to-wire servers), Killswitch, a whitelist system and the new WireGuard protocol.

The advantages of both:
