Hotspot Shield's clients have more power and features, but Kaspersky Secure Connection gives you access to some of the same locations, and all the same performance, for a fraction of the price. That's a fraction of what you'll pay if you go direct to Hotspot Shield, where the annual plan costs a chunky $7.99 a month. Pay for a year upfront (opens in new tab) – card or PayPal supported – and the price plummets to an effective $1.67 a month. Buying a monthly account direct from Hotspot Shield costs $12.99.

This gets you unlimited data use, full access to all locations and support for up to five simultaneous connections, all for the very low price of $4.99. But such a low daily limit means you'll struggle if you want to download or stream very much, and if you're willing to hand over your email address, there are better options around (Windscribe's free account gives you 2GB a month, but rises to 10GB if you register.)įortunately, the picture improves significantly if you sign up for a paid monthly account (opens in new tab). Even that 200MB per day translates to around 6GB a month without requiring handing over any personal data.
