ExitLag is the plug-and-play choice with multipath routing; Mudfish is the cheap, technical choice where you pay for traffic and pick nodes yourself. If you play every day and want it to just work, ExitLag. If you play occasionally, don't mind some setup, or use Linux or a router, Mudfish can cost far less.

Pricing: time vs traffic
ExitLag charges per period. The longer the plan, the lower the monthly price. You pay whether you play or not.
Mudfish charges for traffic. Online games send small amounts of data, so occasional players can spend very little. Heavy players, or anyone routing more than game traffic, will spend more.
Rule of thumb: play a few hours a week → Mudfish is usually cheaper. Play daily → compare ExitLag's long plans with a promo code.
Ease of use
ExitLag: choose your game, connect, and optionally switch routes.
Mudfish: choose nodes manually, understand which are close to the game server, and configure the client. That gives experienced users full control, and beginners a learning curve.
Performance
ExitLag's multipath sends the same data over several routes at once, which is very effective against packet loss on unstable paths.
Mudfish's performance depends on picking good nodes. Done well, it can produce a great route. Done badly, it can make things worse.
Platforms
Mudfish wins on coverage: Linux and routers are supported, which is rare among boosters. ExitLag focuses on Windows and macOS.
Who should pick which
- ExitLag: competitive PC players, packet loss problems, no time for setup.
- Mudfish: occasional players, Linux users, router setups, people who like control.
