Third-Party VPN Vs. Google’s VPN

If you have no problem with Google gaining more information on you, you may opt for a third-party VPN. Some of them include NordVPN, StrongVPN, Opera VPN, and Express VPN. Nonetheless, these third-party VPNs can gather and store your information. Google relies on the fact that its users are more likely to use Google One VPN than the same provision from a competitor.

The competing brands offer VPN services at a minimum of $3 every month. On the other hand, Google charges a minimum of $9.99 each month. However, with Google, you are gaining more than a VPN. A third-party VPN such as StrongVPN is necessary when changing your server. For example, if you are moving from Los Angeles to Paris, you may want to consider this option.

Google VPN does not have a data cap, and as such, there is no limit on the amount of data that can go through this VPN. This is another advantage that Google has over its competitors.
