IPVanish vs PrivateVPN

IPVanish gives you the stronger combination of an independent audit, unlimited paid-plan devices, multi-hop, and split tunneling. PrivateVPN's clean counterpoint is payment flexibility through cryptocurrency.

The no-logs claim has an independent audit behind it

IPVanish's no-logs claim has an independent audit behind it. PrivateVPN does not currently have a completed independent no-logs or security audit. If you want an outside check rather than only a provider promise, this is the strongest trust difference in the pair.

The connection model is more flexible

IPVanish's paid plans do not make you count simultaneous devices. PrivateVPN uses a connection cap rather than an unlimited-device model. IPVanish has a confirmed multi-hop route in the current feature set. Built-in multi-hop is not part of PrivateVPN's confirmed feature set. That combines less device-count housekeeping with an extra routing option.

Crypto payment points this way

PrivateVPN supports cryptocurrency payment. IPVanish does not currently support cryptocurrency payment. If that payment method is part of how you want to buy a VPN, it is a simple and concrete reason to prefer this side.

Router setup and streaming access are shared

PrivateVPN officially documents router setup. PrivateVPN currently supports access to major streaming platforms. PrivateVPN still covers those everyday jobs; they just do not distinguish it from IPVanish.
