Quick pick

→ PrivadoVPN has the stronger case when built-in multi-hop routing and split tunneling for traffic you do not want inside the VPN are features you will actually use.

→ PrivateVPN still handles router setup, obfuscation, and cryptocurrency payment, but none of those is unique in this matchup.

PrivadoVPN has the clearer functional edge in this pair: multi-hop and split tunneling are both confirmed. PrivateVPN still covers router setup, obfuscation, and cryptocurrency payment, but those are shared rather than exclusive advantages.

PrivadoVPN: when traffic control matters

Multi-hop is confirmed on this side

PrivadoVPN has a confirmed multi-hop route in the current feature set. Built-in multi-hop is not part of PrivateVPN's confirmed feature set. If an extra VPN hop is part of your routine, that difference alone can settle the feature question.

Split tunneling is another direct separator

PrivadoVPN has split tunneling on at least part of its supported platform set. Split tunneling is not confirmed as available for PrivateVPN. That matters when some apps need the VPN and others work better outside it.

PrivateVPN: when the shared basics are enough

Router setup and obfuscation are still covered

PrivateVPN officially documents router setup. PrivateVPN has confirmed obfuscation support for at least part of its current setup. Those capabilities are useful, but PrivadoVPN covers them too, so they do not erase the routing-control gap.

Cryptocurrency payment is shared as well

PrivateVPN supports cryptocurrency payment. If crypto is simply a requirement, both sides meet it; the more meaningful difference remains how much control you want over traffic routing.
