Fast, private internet on every device. Try it free — no credit card needed. No logs, ever We don't track, record, or analyze what you do online. Your data is never sold, never shared. No Traces, No Tells Even knowing you use a VPN is information you didn't mean to share.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StarSpeed at none against HZVPN's 16. StarSpeed also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). HZVPN's advantage is rating (3.4 vs 3.1) and ratings volume (111 vs 19). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
