Cloudflare WARP vs Speedify

Cloudflare WARP is a client that sits between a device and the Internet, with modes intended to provide a faster, more secure and more private connection. Its 1.1.1.1 with WARP mode replaces the device's Internet connection with an optimized protocol, and WARP encrypts more traffic leaving the device to limit snooping. It runs on the same network as Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver. WARP+ subscribers can access a larger network with more cities, which may reduce latency to a Cloudflare data center and improve browsing speed. Organizations can integrate WARP with Gateway to enroll devices and protect remote workers. The client supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows, with up to five simultaneous devices. Cloudflare says it collects limited DNS query and traffic data, excluding payload, while the app is enabled. Some app and site traffic using microphone or camera access can bypass WARP and expose the original IP. Encryption may reduce throughput, particularly for desktop users on high-speed broadband, and location-dependent licensed content may not work properly.

Speedify combines Wi-Fi, cellular, Ethernet, Starlink and satellite links into a single connection. Its packet-level channel bonding distributes traffic across available connections and can use up to 95% of their combined throughput. If one link drops, automatic failover can move traffic to the remaining links without resetting a call or transfer. Users can set connection priorities and data or rate limits for metered links. Pair & Share lets Speedify users on the same local network share 4G and 5G connections. Streaming traffic is prioritized automatically; listed compatible services include Twitch, YouTube Live, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. Speedify lists servers in 35 countries, supports streaming and torrents, and includes a kill switch. It offers a free plan and a 7-day trial. Individual monthly access costs $14.99 a month for up to five devices; the Family monthly option costs $22.50 a month for five accounts and 25 devices total. Team monthly access costs $14.99 a month for five users with five devices per user. The maker also offers an SDK for embedding bonding, failover and encrypted tunneling.
