Pros and cons
HideMy.name
Pros
- Trial access with limits of 24 hours, no registration, access code by email only lets you check fit before paying
- Covers platforms of Windows, Android and iOS with allowance of 5 for home and travel use
- Includes privacy tools of kill switch, split tunnelling and multi hop alongside protocols of OpenVPN and WireGuard
Cons
- Server reach of 42 sits below the typical peer level of 45, which may matter for varied routing
- Device allowance of 5 sits below the peer typical level of 6.5, unlike ESET Brasil with 3 to 25
- Long term option lasts 12 with price of $4, giving a shorter commitment window than extended rivals offer
Surfshark One (Antivirus)
Pros
- Extras include a VPN, so protection and privacy arrive on one subscription (vpn)
- Covers 5 devices on Windows, macOS and Android
- A trial of 7 days lets you test the paid tier first

Who each suits
HideMy.name
Who it suits
- You value phone plus email help through email, phone and help centre while Ivacy offers a different support mix
- You want trial limits of 24 hours, no registration, access code by email only to assess fit while FastestVPN leans toward paid entry from the start
Who should look elsewhere
- You need far larger simultaneous use than 5, so ESET Brasil with 3 to 25 may fit better
Surfshark One (Antivirus)
Who it suits
- Readers who already pay for a VPN and want malware protection on the same bill
- Households that fit within 5 covered devices
- People who want one subscription across security tools rather than several separate buys
Who should look elsewhere
- Apple Inc. users, who get security features across iOS, iPadOS and macOS from the operating system itself
- Comodo (Xcitium) users who need room for 50 devices on a single plan
- ESET Brasil readers after a different first-year quote, since its first-year price is BRL 64.22

Questions about each
HideMy.name
What will you pay on the monthly plan versus the long term plan+
The monthly plan price is $11 while the long term plan price is $4 for the plan length of 12. You keep entry and renewal thinking separate, since the longer span lowers the average outlay across the term.
Where can you install it and how many devices are covered+
You can run service on platforms of Windows, Android and iOS and share use across devices of 5. That mix covers desktop, mobile and router use, so you can protect home and travel setups under the same allowance.
Surfshark One (Antivirus)
What does Surfshark One cost at the start and after renewal?+
The first-year price is €75.33, and the monthly option is listed at €2.49. Set the opening figure against the group median of €49.95. What a renewal costs depends on the checkout terms, so the total shown at the point of payment is the figure to check.
Does the plan include a VPN or is that bought separately?+
A VPN is bundled into the same plan and listed among the extras, so antivirus and privacy cover arrive on one subscription rather than two. That bundling is what separates this offer from antivirus sold on its own. Around 97.1% of the products in this group also bundle a VPN.
