Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 20 of the 27 other VPNs we grade
Speedify is channel-bonding software that combines several internet connections (Wi-Fi, 4G/5G, Ethernet, satellite) into one encrypted connection, and it is sold alongside its own server network as a VPN-style service. Apps cover Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and OpenWrt routers. The first 5 GB of use each month is free, and paid plans remove the data cap.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Speedify, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It's an app you install and connect, though bonding several links takes some setup.
- 1
Best for bonding Wi-Fi and mobile data into one connection
Speedify joins Wi-Fi, cellular, Ethernet and other links into one encrypted connection, which suits streaming and calls on shaky networks.
- 2
Paid plans start at $4.99 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $4.99 per month on the Individual 3-year plan, billed $179.99 every 3 years.
- 3
There is a free plan
The first 5 GB of Speedify data each month is free, per the download page.
- 4
It runs on 5 platforms
Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android.
- 5
Channel bonding
Combines Wi-Fi, cellular, Ethernet, tethered phones and satellite into a single connection so traffic keeps flowing if one link drops.
- 6
Streaming priority
Livestreams on the major platforms are given priority automatically, and the vendor lists support for OBS, Streamlabs, StreamYard and others.
- 7
Encrypted traffic
Traffic is encrypted, and the vendor says this also stops an ISP from telling browsing from streaming or gaming.
- 8
A 2.8 GPA, above 20 of 27
That is against the other VPNs we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Speedify you would be making servers in dozens of countries, kept fast and private. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for bonding Wi-Fi and mobile data into one connection
Speedify joins Wi-Fi, cellular, Ethernet and other links into one encrypted connection, which suits streaming and calls on shaky networks. The free allowance is 5 GB a month, one account covers only 5 devices, and the cheap price needs a 3-year commitment.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $4.99 a month needs 3 years paid up front ($179.99). A year is $89.99 ($7.49 a month) and monthly is $14.99, which sits in the dearest tenth. |
| Free plan and trial | C | 5 GB of data a month on any platform. It's a cap a regular user will hit, and then it's the paid plan. |
| Features | B | Channel bonding, automatic priority for livestreams, encryption, premium servers in 50+ locations, plus teams features and an API. Nothing core is missing for the job it does. |
| Ease of use | B | No store rating on record. It's an app you install and connect, though bonding several links takes some setup. |
| Platforms and integrations | A | Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android and OpenWrt routers, with OBS, Streamlabs, StreamYard, Twitch and Zoom listed, and a CLI and API on Teams. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Speedify is for
- Fits if you stream or take calls over mobile data and want several links to back each other up
- Works for small teams who want a dashboard and API
Who it is not for
- Tight if you're staying free, with only 5 GB a month
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $14.99 for one person
- Not for you if you hate long commitments: the $4.99 price is a 3-year plan
- Watch out: one Individual account works on 5 devices at once, and Router plans and dedicated servers cost extra
- Watch out: dedicated servers start at $75 a month billed yearly
Good to know
Good for
- Streamers and remote workers who want to bond several connections
- Travelers combining campground Wi-Fi, cellular and Starlink
- Teams that need a central dashboard and an API
Worth knowing
- The free allowance is 5 GB a month, so regular use needs a paid plan.
- Each account works on up to 5 devices at once; the Family plan has 5 accounts.
- Dedicated Server add-ons start at $75 a month billed yearly ($120 billed monthly); self-hosted servers start at $25 a month billed yearly ($40 monthly).
- Router plans are priced by monthly prioritized data, from 100GB at $129 a year to 3TB at $450 a year, and are not listed in the plan table above.

20/27
Other VPNs it is graded above
Speedify's GPA of 2.8 is higher than 20 of the 27 other VPNs we grade, and level with 4.
It stands best on platforms and integrations (A, above 27 of 27) and worst on value for money (C, above 2).
Its paid plans start at $4.99 a month, against a middle price of $5 for the category: 9 of the 26 others that charge start lower.
On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 3.3 out of 4, and no tool on the category's chart scores higher without costing more.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Speedify you would be making servers in dozens of countries, kept fast and private. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 20 of the 27 other VPNs we grade. It costs $59.88 a year.
What you could not
- Servers in dozens of countries, kept fast and private.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It plugs into other products, OBS, Streamlabs and StreamYard among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Speedify’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
