## ExpressVPN deal: up to 80% off 2-year plans

ExpressVPN is one of the best-known VPN services, used to keep internet traffic private on public Wi-Fi, protect remote work and access the internet as if you were in another country. Right now, ExpressVPN's 2-year plans are discounted by up to 80%, and every plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee for new users.

| Plan (2 years + 4 months) | Price | Discount | Total for the first 28 months | Devices |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $2.99 per month | 80% off | $83.72 | 10 |
| Advanced | $4.49 per month | 73% off | $125.72 | 12 |
| Pro | $7.49 per month | 67% off | $209.72 | 14 |

Prices are from ExpressVPN's order page in October 2026, during a seasonal sale. ExpressVPN changes its offers several times a year, so the exact discount may be different when you sign up. The link on this page always takes you to the current best public offer.

After the first term, plans renew at ExpressVPN's standard yearly price ($99.95 for Basic, $119.95 for Advanced and $199.95 for Pro, as listed on the order page). Put a reminder in your calendar a month before renewal so you can decide whether to keep it.

## Why a VPN matters for startups and remote teams

Most startups now work from laptops on networks they don't control: coworking spaces, cafes, airports, hotels and home routers that nobody has updated in years. A VPN encrypts the traffic between your device and the VPN server, so people on the same network can't read it or tamper with it.

For a small team, that covers a few real situations:

- **Working from public Wi-Fi.** Logging into your admin dashboards, banking, payroll and customer data from a coworking space or airport is safer with the connection encrypted.
- **Travel and remote hires.** Founders and teammates who travel can keep access to the tools and content they normally use, even in countries where some services are restricted.
- **Testing what customers see.** Marketing and product teams can check how a website, ads, search results or pricing look from another country.
- **Privacy from your network provider.** Your internet provider or the network owner sees that you are connected to a VPN, not every site you visit.

A consumer VPN like ExpressVPN is not a replacement for a full corporate network or zero-trust access setup. If you need to restrict access to internal servers by user and device, look at business tools like [Tailscale](https://saasoffers.tech/offers/tailscale) or Twingate. For protecting laptops and phones on untrusted networks, a VPN is the simple, affordable layer most early teams start with.

## What you get with ExpressVPN

- **Servers in over 100 countries,** so you can connect from almost anywhere and pick a location close to you for speed.
- **Lightway,** ExpressVPN's own VPN protocol, designed to connect quickly and stay stable when you switch between networks, for example from Wi-Fi to mobile data.
- **TrustedServer technology:** ExpressVPN servers run from RAM rather than hard drives, so data is wiped on every restart.
- **A no-logs policy** that ExpressVPN says has been checked by independent auditors.
- **Apps for every device:** Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android, browsers and some routers, with 10 to 14 devices per plan depending on the tier.
- **Kill switch,** which blocks internet traffic if the VPN connection drops, so nothing leaks unprotected.
- **Extra tools on higher tiers.** The Advanced and Pro plans add more devices and extra privacy and security features. Check the order page for exactly what each tier includes at the time you buy.

ExpressVPN is owned by Kape Technologies, which also owns CyberGhost and Private Internet Access.

## Which ExpressVPN plan should you pick?

- **Basic** is enough for most founders and small teams who want a VPN on their laptops and phones. At $2.99 per month on the current deal, it is the best value.
- **Advanced** makes sense if you want a couple of extra devices and the additional tools included in that tier.
- **Pro** is for heavy users and households or small teams that need the most devices on one account (up to 14).

For a team where each person needs their own VPN, compare the number of devices with the size of your team. Many founders buy one plan for themselves and the core team's devices first.

## ExpressVPN vs other VPNs

**ExpressVPN vs NordVPN.** Both are large, well-known VPNs with apps for every device and independent audits. NordVPN's long-term plans are often a little cheaper per month, while ExpressVPN focuses on speed, simplicity and its own Lightway protocol. If you want the easiest app to use on every device, ExpressVPN is a strong choice.

**ExpressVPN vs Surfshark.** Surfshark allows unlimited devices on one plan, which can be cheaper for a whole team. ExpressVPN limits devices by tier but is often chosen for reliability and connection speed.

**ExpressVPN vs CyberGhost and Private Internet Access.** All three are owned by Kape. CyberGhost and Private Internet Access are usually cheaper per month, with fewer premium extras. ExpressVPN is the premium option in the group.

**ExpressVPN vs a business access tool (Tailscale, Twingate).** These tools give your team private access to internal servers, databases and admin panels, with access by user. They solve a different problem from a consumer VPN. Many startups use both: a business access tool for internal systems and a VPN for working safely on public networks.

## Tips to get the most from the deal

- **Buy during a sale.** ExpressVPN's biggest discounts come around seasonal sales such as Halloween, Black Friday and New Year. The current offer is one of those.
- **Use the 30-day guarantee properly.** Install it on every device you plan to use and test it on your usual networks and destinations in the first two weeks. If it doesn't work for you, ask for the refund within 30 days.
- **Turn on the kill switch and auto-connect** on laptops, so the VPN starts on its own on untrusted Wi-Fi.
- **Set a renewal reminder** for a month before the end of the term, since renewal is at the standard price.
