Quick pick
→ PureVPN fits better when official router setup documentation and native TV-app coverage solve the devices you are trying to cover.
→ PrivadoVPN fits better when a continuing free plan matters as an entry point and built-in multi-hop routing is a separate feature you know you will use.
PureVPN and PrivadoVPN pull in different directions before you even get to the smaller features. PureVPN is easier to picture in a home setup with routers and TVs; PrivadoVPN gives you a lower-commitment way to start and a separate multi-hop option.
PureVPN: when the VPN has to cover more than a laptop
The router and TV paths are already documented
PureVPN officially documents router setup. PureVPN includes native TV-app coverage in its current device mix. That combination makes sense if the awkward devices in the house are the reason you are comparing VPNs in the first place.
Streaming guidance is part of the package too
PureVPN has streaming-focused server tools or labels, so you are not starting every stream with blind server roulette. The free-plan advantage on the PrivadoVPN side lowers the commitment before you subscribe; this side gives you more streaming guidance after you do.
PrivadoVPN: when you want to try first and still keep routing options
The free plan lowers the cost of finding out whether the service fits
PrivadoVPN has a continuing free plan. That is useful if your biggest uncertainty is whether you want another subscription at all. If the free plan is the reason you are leaning this way, check its feature limits first.
Multi-hop is a separate reason to stay interested
PrivadoVPN has a confirmed multi-hop route in the current feature set. Built-in multi-hop is not part of PureVPN's confirmed feature set. If chaining VPN hops is part of your actual routine, the difference survives even after the free-plan question is out of the way.
