Save on ExpressVPN, NordVPN, ProtonVPN
Most providers offer plans ranging from $2 to $13 per month, often tempting customers with discounted introductory rates that increase after the initial term. To assist you in finding a budget-friendly plan for the short and long term, we compile a weekly roundup of the best deals on all the VPNs we’ve personally tested. Check out our top picks as of Nov. 29 below, including some lingering Cyber Week offers and an early Christmas deal.
NordVPN
Sign up without hesitation for NordVPN Standard (2 years + 3 months), an industry giant catering to power users. This VPN service combines high customizability with advanced security features, including Tor access, a dark web monitor, and malware protection. During the Christmas sale, new users can grab a 27-month Standard plan for just $2.99/month (billed $80.73 upfront), a 77% discount from the usual $12.99/month rate and the lowest price of the year. If the discount isn’t visible, try accessing the NordVPN website in an incognito window. The plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee and renews annually at $8.29/month after the initial term.
Optional add-ons include:
- Dedicated IP — $3.79/month
- Incogni data removal tool — $3.69/month
ExpressVPN
ExpressVPN (1 year + 3 months)
Choose ExpressVPN, a well-established VPN service with a globally diverse server network, a user-friendly app, a built-in tracker blocker, and a strong commitment to user privacy. While the monthly rate is on the higher side at $12.95, we recommend the 15-month plan at $6.67/month (billed $99.95 upfront) — offering a 49% savings and backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Note that the ExpressVPN website labels it as a Cyber Monday deal, but this rate is available year-round. Your subscription will automatically switch to an $8.32/month annual plan after the initial term.
Proton VPN
Consider Proton VPN for privacy enthusiasts, offering open-source apps and transparent company policies. While it provides a decent free plan, we suggest opting for the Plus tier to unlock full access to its server network, streaming and P2P support, multi-hop, up to 10 simultaneous connections, and Tor access. The usual monthly subscription is $9.99, but you can save 60% and pay only $3.99/month (billed $119.70 upfront) by committing to a 30-month plan during its Cyber Week sale. A 30-day money-back guarantee also applies in this case.
