Short answers, based on our own captures and the data on this site.
On the nearest-European route AdGuard VPN delivered 136 Mbps against Surfshark's 210 Mbps (46% vs 71% of each baseline); on the US route 200 vs 203 Mbps. One run each, so treat small gaps as noise.
We captured AdGuard VPN playing BBC iPlayer. For Surfshark we captured BBC iPlayer. 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.

Surfshark allows unlimited devices on every plan, a meaningful advantage over AdGuard VPN's 10-device ceiling if you're covering a large household or want to run always-on connections on a home server or router for torrenting alongside personal devices.
On network size, Surfshark publishes 4,500+ servers across 100 countries – both numbers AdGuard doesn't disclose (AdGuard states only “75+ locations”). Surfshark also advertises 10 Gbps-upgraded servers, a concrete performance figure with no direct AdGuard equivalent.
Pricing is close: Surfshark's Starter plan runs about €2.49/month on a 24-month term, similar to AdGuard's €2.69/month 2-year plan. Surfshark's no-logs policy is independently audited, which is one verification step further than AdGuard's own unaudited no-logging statement.
Neither Surfshark nor AdGuard names specific streaming platforms in their core marketing, and neither publishes an explicit torrenting policy on the pages we reviewed – though Surfshark's larger, disclosed server network is generally treated as more torrent-friendly in practice across the wider VPN market.
For multi-device households or anyone who wants an audited no-logs claim and a disclosed server count, Surfshark is the stronger pick at a similar price. AdGuard VPN remains competitive only if device count and network size matter less to you than sticking with a long-established privacy brand.
