Surfshark
Surfshark was founded in 2018 in Lithuania, a notably later entrant into the consumer VPN market than many of its established competitors, and the company differentiated itself specifically by offering unlimited simultaneous device connections per subscription, a feature most competitors capped at a fixed number. That unlimited-device model made Surfshark particularly appealing to families and users with many connected devices, since competing services typically charged more or required separate subscriptions once a household exceeded five or ten simultaneously connected devices. Surfshark merged with Lithuanian antivirus company Nord Security's competitor NordVPN's corporate structure in 2022 under a shared holding company called Cyberspace, while continuing to operate as a distinct, separately branded VPN product rather than being folded directly into NordVPN itself. Surfshark's combination of its differentiating unlimited-device subscription model and its rapid growth into a major VPN brand despite its later 2018 market entry has made it one of the fastest-growing companies in the consumer VPN industry.

ExpressVPN
ExpressVPN was founded in 2009, among the earlier entrants into the modern consumer VPN market, and built a reputation for a particularly extensive global server network spanning dozens of countries relative to many of its competitors at the time. The company registered in the British Virgin Islands, a jurisdiction without mandatory data retention requirements, and built its brand around consistent independent speed test performance, an important differentiator in a product category where connection speed directly affects everyday usability. ExpressVPN was acquired by identity-security company Kape Technologies in 2021 for approximately $936 million, one of the largest acquisitions in the consumer VPN industry, consolidating ExpressVPN under a parent company that also owned competing VPN brands including Private Internet Access and CyberGhost. ExpressVPN's combination of its early-mover position in the modern consumer VPN market and its landmark $936 million acquisition by Kape Technologies has made it one of the most commercially significant VPN brands in the industry.
