ExpressVPN’s Spring sale is live, and it’s genuinely the lowest entry price I’ve ever seen from this provider, thanks to its new tiered plans starting at just $3.49 a month with long‑term deals and stacked seasonal discounts.
- ExpressVPN’s Spring sale brings its Basic plan down to around $3.49 a month on long-term subscriptions, up to about 73 percent off plus extra free months on select deals.
- You still get the same core ExpressVPN experience: a strict no‑logs policy, audited infrastructure, and ultra‑fast Lightway/Lightway Turbo protocol, just at its lowest‑ever effective price.
- Advanced and Pro tiers pile on extras like a password manager, email privacy, identity protection (U.S. only), and even dedicated IP, so the sale isn’t just about a cheap VPN; it’s about a full security bundle for less.
If you’ve been holding off because ExpressVPN was “too premium” for your budget, this Spring promo is the moment where that excuse kind of dies.

What is actually on sale?
ExpressVPN quietly restructured its pricing into three tiers—Basic, Advanced, and Pro—and those are exactly what the Spring sale is discounting. The big news is that the long‑term Basic plan now hits $3.49 a month when you lock in a multi‑year deal, with up to 73 percent off and bonus free months stacked on top in some promos.
Here’s a quick look at how the tiers line up during this sale (pricing will vary slightly by region and exact promo):
| Plan | Best long‑term price (approx) | Typical discount | Key extras in this tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $3.49/month on 2‑year plans, often with extra months free. | Up to 73% off. | Full VPN, up to around 10 devices, post‑quantum encryption, Lightway/Lightway Turbo, TrustedServer, 30‑day money‑back. |
| Advanced | Around $4.19–4.49/month on long‑term deals when discounted. | Around 60–67% off. | Everything in Basic plus ExpressKeys password manager, more devices, extra eSIM data, and access to Identity Defender in supported regions. |
| Pro | Around $7.49/month on the longest plans, heavily discounted versus standard monthly. | Around 60–63% off. | All Advanced features, higher device limit (up to 14), dedicated IP, more eSIM data, bigger router (Aircove) discounts, full identity‑protection bundle for U.S. users. |
Why this sale matters (and why ExpressVPN is still “premium”)
ExpressVPN has always been one of the pricier VPNs around, but it backed that up with genuinely strong tech and independent audits. With the new pricing, you’re basically getting that same premium stack for the kind of money that used to buy you a mid‑tier competitor.
A few standout points that justify jumping on the Spring sale rather than just chasing the cheapest VPN on paper:
- Long‑term privacy track record: ExpressVPN has been around since 2009 and is based in the British Virgin Islands, a jurisdiction with no mandatory data‑retention laws, which is why it leans so heavily on the “no activity or connection logs” pitch.
- Audited no‑logs stance: The company points to more than twenty independent audits (KPMG and others) validating its privacy claims and infrastructure design.
- TrustedServer infrastructure: All servers run on RAM‑only TrustedServer tech, meaning data is wiped on every reboot by design instead of being written to disk.
- Real‑world speeds: Its in‑house Lightway protocol, now boosted by Lightway Turbo, has pushed ExpressVPN into the top tier of speed tests, with internal and third‑party testing showing drastic gains—Tom’s Guide clocked it ahead of NordVPN in some scenarios.
Put that together and the Spring sale isn’t just “ExpressVPN is cheaper now,” it’s “a historically expensive VPN is finally priced like a mainstream choice, without gutting the feature set.”
What do you get across devices and use cases?
ExpressVPN has leaned hard into “protect everything with one subscription,” and the sale applies to that whole cross‑device story.
Here’s what that looks like in day‑to‑day use:
- Streaming: You can use ExpressVPN on Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux, and routers, with its MediaStreamer DNS feature helping with smooth streaming on smart TVs and consoles. That’s especially useful if you want to access home streaming libraries or sports subscriptions while you travel.
- Gaming: There’s a massive 10Gbps server network in 105 countries and all 50 U.S. states, plus 170+ locations overall, aimed at lowering ping, dodging congestion, and even mitigating DDoS for online games.
- Work, travel, and public Wi-Fi: The VPN encrypts your entire connection in a single tap, which is critical if you’re working from cafés, airports, or hotels that you don’t fully trust.
- Censorship and restrictions: ExpressVPN doesn’t market itself as a “geo‑dodging” tool, but openly acknowledges that many users rely on it to reach services that might be blocked on local networks, such as school or office firewalls.
On top of that, there’s the 30‑day money‑back guarantee on all plans, which means you can jump on the Spring pricing now and still bail out if speeds or app behavior aren’t what you expect.
The new 5-in-1 suite: more than “just a VPN”
The other angle that makes this sale interesting is ExpressVPN’s shift into a full security suite, especially on the Advanced and Pro tiers. You’re no longer paying purely for a VPN tunnel; you’re buying a bundle of privacy tools that usually cost separate subscriptions.
The stack currently includes:
- ExpressVPN (core VPN): Encrypted tunnel, IP masking, smart location picker, built‑in speed test, Threat Manager, ad blocker, and parental controls, all integrated into updated apps with a new UI and Dark Mode.
- ExpressKeys: A standalone password manager app for Android and iOS that stores unlimited passwords, cards, notes, and 2FA codes, with breach alerts and zero‑knowledge encryption baked in, included on Advanced and Pro at no extra cost.
- ExpressMailGuard: A secure email relay service that hides your real address behind aliases so you can sign up for services without turning your primary inbox into a spam magnet.
- Identity Defender (U.S. only, on Advanced and Pro): An identity‑protection suite that handles data‑broker removal, dark‑web and ID alerts, credit scanning, and even ID theft insurance, plus a new “Neighborhood Watch” feature that flags registered sex offenders moving into your area.
- ExpressAI: An AI platform running on a confidential‑computing architecture, designed to keep prompts and outputs private while you leverage advanced models.
In other words, even if you start on the cheapest Basic plan now, you’ve got a clean upgrade path to a full “online life” protection bundle later, without leaving the ecosystem.
Dedicated IP, routers, and travel perks
There are a few niche features that might quietly tip you towards the higher tiers while this sale is running:
- Dedicated IP (Pro only): Pro plans now include a dedicated IP as standard, giving you a unique address rather than sharing with other users. This is ideal for remote workers who need an IP that can be whitelisted by corporate IT, or for services that don’t like constantly changing addresses, and ExpressVPN’s design keeps it anonymous even to the company itself.
- Aircove VPN routers: ExpressVPN’s own Wi-Fi 6 routers (Aircove and Aircove Go) bake the VPN into your home network, so anything that joins your Wi-Fi—TVs, consoles, smart home gear—automatically benefits from the tunnel. Pro plans even offer steep discounts on Aircove hardware during long‑term deals.
- eSIM data for travelers: Advanced and Pro subscribers get a one‑time bundle of free eSIM data (three or five days) to stay online securely when they’re abroad, which is a nice sweetener if you’re traveling during the Spring sale window.
All of this is still bundled under the single subscription you’re buying at the current, heavily reduced Spring pricing.
So, who should grab which plan during this sale?
If you want something concrete, here’s how I’d think about it as a buyer staring at the Spring deals page:
- You’re on a budget and just want a fast, safe VPN for streaming, browsing, and gaming: Go Basic on the longest‑term Spring deal. You’re essentially getting classic ExpressVPN for the price of many budget VPNs, and you can always upgrade later.
- You want “set and forget” security across accounts and identity, not just your IP: Aim for Advanced while the Spring promo is active. The bundled password manager, email relay, and identity tools justify the jump if you’d otherwise pay for those separately.
- You’re a power user, remote worker, or small team: Pro makes sense during this sale if you can use a dedicated IP, higher device limits, eSIM travel perks, and the deeper identity‑protection stack. It’s also where router discounts really shine.
The nice part is that all three are sitting at their best‑ever effective monthly pricing right now, thanks to the Spring sale and the broader 2026 discounts, so you’re not paying “old ExpressVPN tax” anymore.
Note: ExpressVPN’s Spring sale will run until April 2, 2026.
