In a rare move, Hotspot Shield also has a family subscription for up to 25 devices, which has great per-device value, especially if you can split the costs.īy far the best way to get Hotspot Shield, though, is as part of a Dashlane password manager subscription. There’s also a seven-day trial when you sign up, but don’t forget to set a calendar reminder if you intend on switching VPNs. Hotspot Shield offers a decent free VPN and a generous 45-day money-back guarantee. There are some saving graces when it comes to pricing, though. Even then, the three-year subscription is inexplicably hidden and requires some illogical clicking.
It’s great that it’s offered in Australian dollars, but it’s nowhere near the cheapest option for monthly, annual and multi-year pricing of all the VPNs I’ve reviewed. No matter which way you cut it, the regular version of Hotspot Shield is very expensive.
