In these increasingly stressful times, protecting your privacy online is more important than ever. You have no idea how much of your Internet browsing is being monitored, recorded, and analyzed. One of the most cost-effective ways to throw a wrench in the gears of the surveillance state is by piping your service through a virtual private network, and a new announcement from ExpressVPN makes professional-grade protection more affordable and flexible than ever.
In our review of ExpressVPN’s service, senior security writer Justyn Newman declared that it was “a global juggernaut with impressive technology,” calling out the company’s massive army of servers and routers all over the world, as well as their continually updated Lightway security protocols that stay on the bleeding edge of encryption to keep your data safe from prying eyes. He gave it an Editors’ Choice award and an “Excellent” rating, but there’s always room for improvement.
His major complaint? Prices and plans. When our product experts say things like “you have to parse the checklists, bonus months, and yearly renewal math just to get a general idea of what you’re actually paying for,” you know there’s room for improvement. Thankfully, ExpressVPN listened and learned, and just rolled out three simple tiers with clear value propositions. Here’s how they stack up.
ExpressVPN
10 devices, 3,000+ servers, 105 countries
$3.49
at ExpressVPN
$12.99
Save $9.50
Basic Plan: Starting at $3.49/month for a 2-year plan

Advanced Plan: Starting at $4.49/month for a 2-year plan
For just a dollar more a month, you get a ton of privacy and security tools in addition to the standard VPN coverage:
Pro Plan: Starting at $7.49/month for a 2-year plan
The strongest protection available for power users, with more of everything you love, including extra connections, more eSIM data for mobile browsing, and a dedicated IP address.
This is way easier to understand than what ExpressVPN had going before: a clearly demonstrated hierarchy with a very attainable entry-level option that should work for the vast majority of users. This used to cost $12.95 a month, so there’s a serious discount going on here. If you need more devices, more protection, or want a dedicated hardware solution, the Advanced and Pro plans will hook you up. We applaud ExpressVPN for making this significant change to their business model, and will be updating our review to reflect it shortly.
