ExpressVPN has never been cheaper
Until recently,. ExpressVPN was an expensive VPN. In 2025, it addressed this by launching three tiers of plan, with a completely new pricing system. Since then we've seen it drop below $3 per month a handful of times.
But this limited-time deal has seen its price drop to the lowest it's ever been. Plans start at $2.27 per month, and you can get everything ExpressVPN has to offer for less than $5 per month.
You'll see the cheapest monthly price with two-year plans, with three options available:
- ExpressVPN Basic – $2.27 per month ($63.52 upfront pre-tax)
- ExpressVPN Advanced – $2.92 per month ($81.72 upfront pre-tax)
- ExpressVPN Pro – $4.87 per month ($136.32 upfront pre-tax)
Each plan comes with four extra months of protection for free, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. One-month and one-year plans are also available.
ExpressVPN Advanced hits the sweet spot
The reason for ExpressVPN's switch to a tiered subscription model was to give users more control and choice over the features they pay for. If you're just after a VPN, you don't need to subscribe to a plan that includes a load of extra features – you don't need to pay for it either.
For me, ExpressVPN Advanced hits the sweet spot in balancing value for money and extra features.
Alongside the core VPN features, you'll receive access to at least three more privacy apps – ExpressMailGuard, ExpressKeys, and most of Identity Defender. Only ExpressMailGuard is included with ExpressVPN Basic plans.
ExpressMailGuard acts as a "VPN for email" and allows you to create email aliases to protect your real email address from scams and trackers.
ExpressKeys is ExpressVPN's password manager, giving you the ability to create and store secure passwords. Identity Defender provides ID theft protection through credit monitoring, Dark Web data alerts, a data removal service, and insurance coverage up to $3 million – however Identity defender is currently a US exclusive.
For $0.65 per month more than ExpressVPN Basic, you unlock a huge amount. You'll also see your device protection limit rise from 10 to 12. You'll benefit from ExpressVPN's Advanced version of threat protection, and there's three days of unlimited holiday.com eSIM data.
ExpressVPN Advanced | 2 years + 4 months FREE | $2.92 per month
ExpressVPN Advanced balances value for money, with powerful extra features. One subscription unlocks four individual privacy apps.
What you'll get...
✨ All core VPN features
🔒 Four privacy apps in one subscription
📱 Protection for up to 12 devices
🌍 3 days of unlimited eSIM data
A 28-month ExpressVPN plan starts at $2.92 per month ($81.72 upfront, pre-tax) and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

ExpressVPN Pro does include some extra Identity Defender features, but it's still a US exclusive. Your device limit will rise to 14 and there's five days of eSIM data rather than three. The biggest addition with ExpressVPN Pro is Dedicated IP. This grants you a VPN IP address that's exclusively yours.
It typically costs a couple of dollars extra per month. So if you absolutely know you're going to use it, consider ExpressVPN Pro while it's less than $5 per month. But for most people, ExpressVPN Advanced is the best value.
