Hide My IP, as stated on its homepage, takes pride in concealing your online identity with the click of a button to access blocked websites and enjoy private web surfing. Hide My IP is a VPN software designed for desktop computers on the Windows OS and Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6. Does it live up to the standards of premium VPNs like NordVPN? No, especially since it's no longer able to unblock Netflix.
I like the Hide my ip lifetime VPN planHide My IP seems to be one of the few VPN services that you can use with a one time payment. I bought it 8 years ago (paid $29.95), and my license still works with the latest version. Most other vpns charge a monthly fee (Hide My IP does too, but it is for the premium plan).
I also like their Chrome extension, the only VPN provider I used that can still unblock streaming sites like netflix, using the extension's Floating IP feature.
I spoke with them a few times on their support line, they were more than helpful, I have been quite happy with them.

Hide My IP cannot be trusted- do not buy itWhen you subscribe with the premium annual subscription they begin degrading your access by month 2, then totally convert it to standard by months 3-4. At first we thought this was just a glitch, but after subscribing for the second time (Yes! We were naive enough to trust them again), the access limitation and account conversion to standard has happened again. While their product is good their practice is terrible. No stars for these thugs.

Hotspot Shield is a popular VPN service with over 650 million users and multiple servers in 55+ countries.
In fact, the website claims it is the #1 grossing app for productivity in the US App Store. (When we checked the App Store source, it actually indicated #8, which is still an impressive ranking.)
One of the features that make Hotspot Shield special is its unique Catapult Hydra protocol,
Fast VPN!Based on my trial tests, I am very pleased with the speed and access to streaming sites like Hulu and Amazon Prime. I knew I will get good speed in the US. I am impressed with the speed internationally. I haven’t tried additional services yet.

Great but file size, and where they keep it, is a problem***Hotspot shield*** is a **simple, affordable **and **great** software, did me a lot of service for free, even though *torrenting and privacy may not be reliable*, pretty much anything else you’d do using the internet (including streaming) works fantastically.
But, it has been almost a year I didn’t use it, and now when I was trying to clean some useless things from my C drive, I found **22GB text file** in my **C Drive **(or the Drive where Windows is installed or whatever you call it) **from Hotspot Shield, **I was **astonished** as I have never seen such a Huge text file ever even in Software development field… I was gonna uninstall it as I didn’t use it anymore, I just found a new reason to why…
Valet mellan dessa två är svårt. Båda erbjuder hög hastighet, men Hide My IP är lite bättre för streamingtjänster som Netflix. Hotspot är en av de bästa på att gömma data, men Hide My IP har stöd för regioner såsom Sydasien, Mellanöstern och Afrika. Vi kan säga att vinnaren är Hotspot Shield, då de skyddar data bättre och fungerar därmed som en mer praktisk VPN. Däremot är Hide My IP fortfarande ett bra alternativ.
Det är intressant, att om du jämför Hotspot Shield med NordVPN, vilket är våra topprankade vpn:s, kommer du'se att Hotspot Shield har mycket att lära av NordVPN. Jämför Hotspot Shield with NordVPN
