hide.me is the one VPN in this comparison that explicitly lists “Streaming Support” and “Dynamic Port Forwarding” as named features – exactly the specificity AdGuard VPN's marketing avoids.

Short answers, based on our own captures and the data on this site.
On the nearest-European route AdGuard VPN delivered 136 Mbps against hide.me's 222 Mbps (46% vs 74% of each baseline); on the US route 200 vs 200 Mbps. One run each, so treat small gaps as noise.
We captured AdGuard VPN playing BBC iPlayer. For hide.me we captured Netflix. Missing results mean not captured, not failed.
Same line and machine with a fresh baseline for each, but the server country and protocol can differ; the table lists them.
The screenshots and recordings for AdGuard VPN are on its tests pages. We publish captures only for the VPN each site is about.
hide.me's pricing page lists its Premium plan features as a checklist: unlimited data, “92 Locations / 2,600 Servers,” 10 simultaneous connections, no logs, a fixed IP option, “Streaming Support,” and “Dynamic Port Forwarding.” That last two are direct, named answers to exactly the questions AdGuard VPN leaves open.
Price is almost identical: hide.me's Premium plan runs €2.69/month on a 24-month term – the same headline price as AdGuard VPN's 2-year plan. At that price, hide.me discloses a specific server count and specific streaming/torrenting-relevant features; AdGuard discloses neither.
hide.me also offers a genuinely usable free tier (8 locations, 1 connection, unlimited data at restricted speed) alongside a no-credit-card trial path, which is a different shape from AdGuard's free plan (3 GB/month cap, 2 devices) but comparable as a way to test before paying.
AdGuard's advantages here are brand history – 17 years as a privacy-tools maker – and the Exclusions split-tunneling feature, which hide.me's public pricing page doesn't call out by name.
At essentially the same price, hide.me states plainly what AdGuard VPN leaves unstated: a real server count and named streaming/torrenting-relevant features. For an unlock-focused buyer specifically, that specificity makes hide.me the easier recommendation.
