How to upgrade or downgrade your ExpressVPN subscription

This guide explains how to upgrade or downgrade your ExpressVPN subscription from the ExpressVPN+ dashboard.

What happens after changing your ExpressVPN subscription tier?

ExpressVPN offers three tiers of subscriptions: Basic, Advanced, and Pro. You can learn more about what each tier includes in our guide to available subscriptions.

After upgrading or downgrading your subscription, your ExpressVPN+ dashboard will update to reflect the features included with your new tier.

Depending on the tier you select, you may gain or lose access to certain products and features. For example, downgrading from the Pro plan to the Basic plan removes access to products such as ExpressAI and Identity Defender (available for U.S. users only). Downgrading can also limit how you can use a product or feature, such as ExpressMailGuard.

Your billing, renewal date, or subscription term may also change. Any pricing or renewal changes will be shown during the checkout process.
