ExitLag is the premium pick for competitive PC players; LagoFast is the budget pick for casual players and those who don't play every day. ExitLag's multipath routing gives it the edge against packet loss. LagoFast is usually cheaper, lets you pause your plan, and adds an FPS booster. Both have free trials, so you can compare them on your own connection.

Routing and performance
ExitLag sends your game traffic over its own network and can duplicate it across multiple routes. That's the main reason competitive players pay more for it: when one path drops packets, another copy usually arrives.
LagoFast also reroutes game traffic through its own servers to find a faster path, and for many players with a simple routing problem, that's enough. Its network is smaller than the market leaders', so results vary more by region.
In short: for long routes, both can help. For packet loss on unstable routes, ExitLag has the stronger approach.
Price and pause-able time
LagoFast's standout feature is that you can pause your plan when you're not playing. If you game on weekends or during holidays only, that can make it much cheaper in practice than a regular monthly subscription.
ExitLag uses standard monthly and multi-month subscriptions, which are better value the longer the plan, but they keep running whether you play or not.

Who should pick which
Pick ExitLag if:
- you play ranked shooters or MOBAs on PC
- your main problem is packet loss or spikes
- you play most days, so a long plan pays off
Pick LagoFast if:
- you play casually or in bursts, and want to pause
- you're on a tight budget
- you also play on console or mobile
How to decide in a weekend
- Write down your normal ping, spikes and packet loss.
- Try the ExitLag trial, then the LagoFast trial, one at a time, on the same server and at a similar time of day.
- If both help equally, LagoFast is the better value. If ExitLag clearly reduces packet loss, it's worth the premium.
