GearUP is third because it reaches more devices than any other booster here. The Windows client is joined by mobile apps and by GearUP Router and HYPEREV, which bring the same routing to PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck and VR headsets. The company calls its method Adaptive Intelligent Routing and says it cuts ping, packet loss, jitter and cross-region instability, with 3,000+ supported games and 8M+ monthly active users. Extras include LAN Play for playing LAN games with remote friends, a Ping Test that estimates your gain before you install, and one-click Twitch Drops. GearUP also lists partnerships with Escape from Tarkov, PUBG and ASUS, whose selected routers bundle it. On the US App Store a month costs $9.99 and a year $59.99, and Windows has a free trial. It costs more than ExitLag or NoPing, and console players need extra hardware, but no other booster here covers the living room as well.
