Price Winner: Tie between PureVPN and PIA
PureVPN's 2-year plan ($2.11/mo) and PIA's 3-year plan ($2.03/mo) are neck and neck. Both dramatically undercut ExpressVPN. If you want a short-term commitment, PureVPN's 1-year plan at $3.99/mo is close to PIA's $3.33/mo. ExpressVPN at $8.32/mo is 2–4x the price and doesn't justify that premium for most streaming use cases.
Streaming Winner: PIA for consistency
PIA unblocks 17+ Netflix libraries vs PureVPN's 12+. PIA's unblocking rate is more consistent — PureVPN occasionally requires switching servers to find one that works for a specific library. PureVPN's dedicated streaming servers are a genuine advantage over PIA's general servers, but PIA's larger server network compensates. For Netflix power users, PIA edges ahead.
Best for 10+ Devices: PIA wins on unlimited
PureVPN allows 10 simultaneous connections vs PIA's unlimited. For a family with multiple streaming devices (phones, tablets, smart TVs, laptops), PIA's unlimited connections policy is superior. PureVPN's 10-device limit is generous — it's only a weakness compared to PIA, not compared to ExpressVPN (8) or NordVPN (6).
Privacy: PureVPN advantage (BVI jurisdiction)
PureVPN is based in the British Virgin Islands, outside Five/Nine/Fourteen Eyes jurisdiction. PIA is US-based. Both have audited no-logs policies — but for users who care about VPN jurisdiction, PureVPN's BVI base is a genuine advantage over PIA. ExpressVPN (also BVI) matches PureVPN on this dimension.
