ExpressVPN's massive price cut spreads holiday cheer – it's even cheaper than NordVPN

ExpressVPN is celebrating the holiday season in style by offering big discounts on its plans. Two-year deals are all at least 70% off and come with an additional four months of VPN protection for free.

A 28-month ExpressVPN plan starts at $2.79 per month, and there are three tiers of subscription to choose from.

Historically, ExpressVPN has consistently been the most expensive provider featured in our best VPN guide. But it recently overhauled its pricing and plan structure to bring its cost closer to its rivals.

Apart from its Black Friday 2025 deal, this is the cheapest we've ever seen ExpressVPN go. The deal makes it significantly cheaper than NordVPN and Proton VPN, and is well worth checking out – but act fast, it won't be around for long.

ExpressVPN is more affordable than ever

You can pick up ExpressVPN Basic for $2.79 per month – a far cry from the $4.99 per month the provider cost at the start of 2025.

This plan gets you all core VPN features, including fast speeds, streaming unblocking, post-quantum encryption support, class-leading privacy and security features, and 10 device connections.

3,000+ servers cover 188 locations worldwide, with no other major provider boasting more. All servers are RAM-only and obfuscated by default to protect your privacy.

ExpressVPN has always been known for its simplicity and clean design. Its giant on/off button means even VPN beginners can't go wrong.

For $0.80 per month ($22.40 up front) more, you can subscribe to ExpressVPN Advanced. This plan is most similar to the ExpressVPN of old and adds Advanced Protection, a password manager, and Identity Defender Lite. You'll also get protection for up to 12 devices and three days of eSIM data.

For everything ExpressVPN has to offer, the ExpressVPN Pro plan costs $5.99 per month. Dedicated IP and Identity Defender Pro are the big features added here, alongside five days of eSIM data, protection for 14 devices, and everything included in previous plans.

If you're after Dedicated IP – a VPN IP address unique to you – this plan is great value, thanks to Dedicated IP costing $3.75 on its own. If you don't want Dedicated IP, this plan is only good value if you live in the US.

Identity Defender provides ID theft insurance, data removal, and credit monitoring, but it's a US-exclusive. If you're an American after total cybersecurity protection, you can't get a bundle for cheaper – the equivalent NordVPN Prime is $6.89 per month. But if you're outside the US and/or don't want Dedicated IP, you're better off with one of ExpressVPN's cheaper plans.
