  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nTrying to work out whether **NordVPN** , **CyberGhost** , or **ExpressVPN** has the **best VPN deal**?\n\nThere's a _very_ clear winner between these rival brands.\n\nWhile it once had a reputation as a pricier option, **ExpressVPN's decision to overhaul its prices for the first time in 16 years** means it now offers **three subscription tiers at dramatically different price points**. If you'd like access to its award-winning VPN subscription, it costs just **£1.74 per month** —that's cheaper than NordVPN and CyberGhost.\n\nFor that, you'll be able to use ExpressVPN across 10x devices with **no** limits on bandwidth or download speeds. You'll also **get access to the new MailGuard feature** , which creates single-use email addresses that redirect to your Gmail, iCloud, or Yahoo inbox. It means you can sign-up for online accounts or give out your email _without_ worrying about your email address leaking on the Dark Web. You can cancel these privacy-focused emails at any time – cutting off anyone with the MailGuard-generate address from being able to contact you.\n\n  * **Join ExpressVPN TODAY to secure award-winning VPN for 6p a day**\n\n\n\nThe 82% discount available from ExpressVPN at the moment means **you're paying****under 6p a day** for military-grade encryption for your web browsing – hiding your internet history from advertisers, cybercriminals, and even your internet provider – and the inbox safeguarding MailGuard feature.\n\nTo unlock the maximum price cut on offer, you'll need to subscribe to a two-year plan with ExpressVPN. That multi-year contract comes with an **extra four months at no extra cost** , so you won't see another charge from the award-winning VPN brand until ******July 2028**. That certainly makes the £48.80 charge at checkout today for the two-year plan, where you'll find the biggest savings, seem pretty reasonable.\n\nBut what about the competition? NordVPN is running its own sale, with up to £50 Amazon.co.uk Gift Card available when you subscribe to certain price plans. It's paired this giveaway with up to 70% off monthly bills.\n\nUnfortunately, the entry-level NordVPN Basic plan _doesn't_ qualify for an Amazon.co.uk Gift Card at all. With the 70% discount, NordVPN Basic drops to £2.59 per month. That's a decent saving, but still comfortably above the £1.74 plan for ExpressVPN.\n\n### Better than Black Friday! Get ExpressVPN at its lowest-EVER price\n\n\n\n\nProtect your personal information and encrypt everything you do online **for just £1.74** with the latest ExpressVPN deal. That equates to under**6p****per day** _****,_ trouncing NordVPN, its biggest competitor\n\nExpressVPN adds military-grade encryption across up to 10x devices, including iPhone, Android, Linux, Windows, Mac, Fire TV, and dozens more, to secure your internet traffic from prying eyes, advertisers, and governments. We praised its fast connection speeds in our in-depth **ExpressVPN review**.\n\nThe security brand also offers its new MailGuard feature to safeguard your email address at no extra cost. You'll benefit from **an extra 4 months free** with a two-year plan, dropping the effective cost\n\n### ...beating this discount from NordVPN\n\n\n\n\nNordVPN is the main competitor to ExpressVPN. Both brands have a substantial collection of awards for fast performance and advanced features. While NordVPN has sometimes had the edge when it comes to subscription price, that changes with the limited-time sale on ExpressVPN\n\n### ...and cheaper than this 84% price cut to CyberGhost\n\n\n\n\nCyberGhost **has cut its monthly subscription by 84%**. If you sign up for a 24-month plan, you'll be gifted with 2 months of access to the award-winning VPN service for free. CyberGhost has one of the longest money-back guarantee period with **a generous 45 days** to decide if you want to stick with your new VPN subscription\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nAnd CyberGhost? This affordable VPN service has slashed prices from £10.89 down to £1.92 per month on a two-year plan. CyberGhost will bundle 2 months extra for free, so you'll unlock access to its rival service for 26-months across 7x different devices, including iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, and Fire TV Stick, to name a few.\n\nAs noted in our in-depth **ExpressVPN review** , if your priorities are speed and reliability, there's no better choice than ExpressVPN Basic. And at £1.74 per month for this award-winning VPN service, this _really_ is a no-brainer.\n\nExpressVPN supports Klarna and other payment options if you want to split the cost of the subscription.\n\nNot sure whether you need a VPN? These secure apps are designed to keep your activity online secure from prying eyes, thanks to the military-grade encryption applied to _everything_ you do. Not only that, but you'll unlock the ability to stream sports fixtures, movies, and TV shows that you wouldn't otherwise be able to access.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nExpressVPN on up to 10 devices, including iPhone, Android, **Mac** , iPad, **Linux computers** , **Windows 10** , **Windows 11** , Fire TV Stick, and even **your Wi-Fi router** , to name a few. Running a Virtual Private Network (VPN) on _any_ of these gadgets will apply military-grade encryption to _everything_ you do online, keeping your browsing history under lock-and-key from governments and advertisers.\n\nEven your broadband provider won't be able to keep tabs on the websites you're checking — or how often you're visiting them. Not only that, but ExpressVPN will bundle its Lite Protection package, which blocks adverts and malicious websites on your devices to keep your browsing speedy and safe.\n\nWith the latest discount, **ExpressVPN costs just £1.74 a month**.\n\nUnsure about whether you'll get enough use from a VPN? ExpressVPN includes a quibble-free 30-day guarantee on _all_ of its subscriptions.\n\nWith 24/7 customer support, you'll be able to talk to someone from any time zone to get a full refund if you're unhappy with the experience on your devices. Yes, ExpressVPN is _that_ confident.\n\nIt comes days after **ExpressVPN has started to overhaul its desktop apps for Mac, Windows, and Linux**. Some of these apps are in beta testing, while others are available to download today.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTo **unlock this ludicrous 82% discount** , you'll need to subscribe to a two-year plan.\n\nThat might sound intimidating, especially if you haven't subscribed to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) before, but ExpressVPN offers a no-quibbles 30 day moneyback guarantee so you can try out _every_ feature on _every_ device before deciding whether to move ahead with the full 24-month contract.\n\nEven better, ExpressVPN will bundle four months of extra access at no cost — so you'll be able to encrypt and secure your connection for 28 months without paying any more than a two-year plan. ExpressVPN uses military-grade AES-256 encryption, the same standard trusted by the US government to guard classified information.\n\nExpressVPN **unveiled the biggest shake-up to its subscriptions in 16 years earlier this summer**. It ditched its one-size-fits-all approach, in favour of three price plans: **Basic** , **Advanced** , and **Pro**.\n\nThe decision to offer different plans enables this award-winning VPN to be more competitive.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe name of this bundle undersells it slightly. Granted, it misses out on the ExpressVPN Keys secure password manager to store, manage, and generate ultra-secure passwords for all your logins, eSIM data when travelling abroad, and exclusive discount on Aircove Wi-Fi router that you'll find with other price plans... but Basic still offers access to the VPN service that earned ExpressVPN its reputation.\n\nFor example, Basic subscribers spending **under 6 pence a day to access ExpressVPN** will still benefit from its core VPN features. That includes the fast Lightway protocols and your choice of over 3,000 servers worldwide, including a dedicated location in every US state.\n\nThere's also its top-tier post-quantum encryption — a feature that sets ExpressVPN apart from its competitors.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nFor those who don't know, as quantum computers become more powerful, these machines will eventually be able to crack encryption algorithms that are currently deemed secure.\n\nExperts estimate that it'd take a current-generation computer around 300 trillion years to break a standard RSA-2048 bit encryption key, while a quantum computer with enough qubits could crack it in a matter of days. That could flip encryption on its head, with systems used by banks and password managers at the moment suddenly penetrable to anyone with a powerful quantum computer in under a week.\n\nBy default, ExpressVPN now relies on a supercharged form of encryption that will _not_ be susceptible to these advances. It's part of an update rolled-out to its Lightway encryption system.\n\nElsewhere, **the £1.74 ExpressVPN Basic plan** offers protection for 10 devices simultaneously, and there's still the same 30-day money-back guarantee. The company has confirmed DNS-based ad-blocking is coming soon to Basic plans too.\n\nSo, what's missing from this most affordable ExpressVPN plan?\n\nYou won't enjoy benefits like ExpressVPN Keys password manager, threat protection features, or the Identity Defender suite. The latter boasts four essential products — ID Alerts, ID Theft Insurance, Data Removal, and Credit Scanner — designed to help you block criminals from stealing your identity.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nIn the latest Black Friday sale,******ExpressVPN's Advanced subscription costs £2.44 per month****.** For that, you'll benefit from its Keys password manager, plus three days of unlimited mobile data to use _anywhere_ on the planet via an eSIM plan courtesy of Holiday.com.\n\nThe device limit increases to 12 simultaneous connections, plus you'll gain access to identity monitoring with fraud alerts and restoration services – though these ID features only work if you're in the US.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThere are also built-in features to block adverts, trackers, malicious sites, and more.\n\nIt could be the sweet spot if you want more than ExpressVPN Basic, but don't need _all_ the premium features. If you're already subscribed to a password manager like LastPass, 1Password, or Dashlane, it could be cheaper to just subscribe to ExpressVPN for its VPN _and_ ability to suggest (and autofill) secure passwords.\n\nLastly, ExpressVPN Pro is the most expensive — and feature-packed — subscription tier.\n\n**Priced at £3.84 per month** , this is the _only_ subscription that includes one of ExpressVPN's most requested features – a dedicated IP address that's exclusive to you. You won't have to share it with other VPN users, and it's so private that even ExpressVPN can’t trace it back to you.\n\nThis was previously an optional add-on for ExpressVPN subscribers, so it's interesting to see the much-loved feature included as part of a monthly subscription... even if it happens to be the priciest one.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nYou'll get everything included with the more affordable tiers, plus 5 days of eSIM data, monthly credit reports, and data removal services for US users.\n\nThe device limit increases to 14, and you'll receive up to 75% off Aircove routers, which run ExpressVPN software so that _every_ device connected to Wi-Fi is secured via VPN.\n\nIt's worth noting that if you're outside the US, you won't benefit from these Identity Defender features, making this tier less appealing for international users.\n\nWhether you're looking for a cheaper ExpressVPN plan, or you're currently paying an additional fee for access to a dedicated IP address and can now fold it into your subscription, this shake-up will impact users on _every_ price plan.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**MORE LIKE THIS**\n\n  * **Best VPN deals **\n  * **How to install a VPN on your Wi-Fi router ******\n  * **What does VPN mean? ******\n  * **How to install ExpressVPN on Windows 10 **\n  * **How to install ExpressVPN on Windows 11 **\n  * **Am I using a VPN?
