Introducing Tiered Pricing: A new way to subscribe to ExpressVPN


For 16 years, ExpressVPN offered one comprehensive subscription option. That plan took us from a small startup in 2009 to one of the most trusted privacy brands in the world. It carried our users through the rise of mobile internet, the explosion of data collection, the battles over censorship, and a wave of new online threats.
Today, we’re making the biggest pricing change in our history. We’re introducing three new plans: Basic, Advanced, and Pro. This marks a fundamental shift in how ExpressVPN is offered, built on the reality that the internet has changed along with your privacy needs.
Why one plan is no longer enough
Back in 2009, the job of a VPN was simpler: encrypt your internet traffic and hide your IP. That was enough for most people. But in 2025, threats don’t stop at your IP address.
Your personal data may be traded by brokers without your knowledge. Your identity could be compromised by a breach long before you realize it. Your travel may require secure mobile data when you step off a plane in a new country. Your household may now have 10, 12, or even 14 devices online at once, each needing protection.
The world has moved on. One plan can’t serve everyone equally anymore. That’s why we built a new model: to give you the flexibility to choose the protection that matches your life.
What’s new: three plans, three levels of coverage
All of our plans are built on the same foundations: speed, privacy, and trust. But now you can choose how far beyond VPN you want to go.
Basic: The trusted VPN experience
Basic gives you what ExpressVPN has always stood for: fast, secure, private connections, now for up to 10 devices at once, up from 8. It’s the best choice for those who want streamlined VPN protection at the lowest long-term price, starting at just 3.49 USD/month on a two-year plan.
Advanced: More privacy, more peace of mind
Advanced builds on that foundation. It includes:
- Keys, our built-in password manager, so you can secure your logins without juggling extra apps.
- Advanced Protection to shield you from online threats as you browse.
- Identity Monitoring with fraud alerts and restoration, so if your email or personal data shows up in a breach, you’ll know (and you’ll have support.)
- 3 days of unlimited eSIM travel data, letting you connect securely the moment you land in another country. No hunting for Wi-Fi, no risky networks.
- Coverage for 12 devices at once, enough for households that are always online.
- Discounts of up to 50% on Aircove, our Wi-Fi 6 router that extends VPN protection to your entire home.
From 4.49 USD/month on a two-year plan, Advanced gives you deeper, everyday coverage for modern privacy.
Pro: The complete suite
Pro is for those who want every possible safeguard we can provide. Alongside everything in Advanced, it adds:
- Dedicated IP: one of the most requested features from our longtime users. A stable IP address of your own, useful for secure remote work, banking, or streaming services that require consistency.
- Data Removal services to help wipe your personal information from data broker lists, cutting off one of the most invasive forms of online surveillance.
- Monthly credit reports and insurance coverage, giving you an early warning and backup if your identity is misused.
- 5 days of unlimited eSIM travel data, covering entire trips or busy workweeks abroad.
- Support for 14 devices simultaneously, enough for large households or power users.
- Discounts of up to 75% on Aircove, to protect your home network at a fraction of the price.
From 7.49 USD/month on a two-year plan, Pro is our most powerful package yet.

What hasn’t changed
No matter which plan you choose, the foundations remain the same. Every member gets:
- Lightway, our VPN protocol designed for speed, stability, and efficiency.
- TrustedServer, which ensures no data is ever written to a hard drive.
- Threat Manager, which blocks unwanted trackers from other apps.
- A strict no-logs policy, independently audited and verified.
- Our global network of secure VPN servers in more than 90 countries.
- A 30-day money-back guarantee (unchanged since 2009).
Privacy isn’t tiered; these protections remain universal.
Why this matters
The new plans are designed to reflect the way you use the internet today, giving you the level of coverage that fits your life.
When we built TrustedServer, it was because we saw that running servers on hard drives created unnecessary risks. When we built Lightway, it was because old VPN protocols weren’t fast or reliable enough for a mobile-first world. When we launched Aircove, it was because homes had become multi-device environments that needed protection beyond the laptop.
Now, with tiered plans, we’re addressing another reality: that privacy itself has become more complex. Some of you want the same fast VPN you’ve always had. Some of you need eSIM travel data to connect safely abroad. Others want identity monitoring and Data Removal to protect you beyond the VPN tunnel. For the first time, you get to decide how far you want your protection to go.
What about current members?
If you’re already an ExpressVPN subscriber, nothing changes unless you want it to. Your plan continues as is, at your current renewal rate. When your renewal comes up, you’ll have the option to switch to Basic, Advanced, or Pro. But you won’t lose features you already rely on, and you won’t be downgraded without your consent.
