For those aiming to enhance online privacy in the coming year, ExpressVPN's current promotion makes it more affordable. The company's two-year subscriptions are discounted by as much as 78 percent: the Advanced option costs $101 over two years, including four extra months at no charge. This equates to $3.59 monthly while the offer lasts.
ExpressVPN has earned our ongoing approval for its speed, user-friendliness, and extensive server coverage worldwide. It remains our top recommendation among premium VPN services. The primary downside has been the elevated pricing, which this promotion effectively addresses for now.
Secure two years of service, along with four complimentary months, at $101.
During testing, we observed strong performance in download and upload speeds, with just a 7 percent drop in downloads and 2 percent in uploads across global locations. The service reliably bypasses Netflix restrictions in various regions, and its applications for mobile and desktop devices prove straightforward to navigate. Overall, we rated ExpressVPN at 85 out of 100.
ExpressVPN currently offers three subscription levels. The Basic package provides essential functions at a lower price point, the Pro version commands a higher fee for added benefits such as compatibility with 14 devices at once and an integrated password manager, and the Advanced tier balances the two with the password manager but limits support to 12 devices.
At present, the Basic subscription stands at $78 for 28 months, reduced from $363, while the Pro is $168, slashed from $560—representing 78 percent and 70 percent reductions, respectively. Every option includes a 30-day refund policy for first-time subscribers, allowing a risk-free trial before full commitment.
