Who should choose which
Choose ExpressVPN if:

- Consistently unblocks all major streaming platforms
Choose IVPN if:
- Independently audited — one of the only VPNs with no account system, no email, no logs, and open-source apps
- No email, no account name — sign up with a random account ID only
- Multi-hop (WireGuard Multihop) routes traffic through two servers by default on Pro tier
