VPN services compared: prices and price hikes
Compare personal VPN services by what one person on 5 devices, a 10-device household and a dedicated-IP setup actually pay month to month, how their prices have changed, and which features each alternative really replaces.
Prices at 5 devices
- Proton VPN: $9.99/mo · last hike Jul 2023
- ExpressVPN: $14.99/mo
- NordVPN: $14.99/mo · last hike Jun 2026
- Surfshark: $16.45/mo
Prices are USD per month at the regular month-to-month rate (no first-term promos or multi-year deals, which are often far cheaper), for the cheapest plan with unlimited data and the full server network. The headline is one person on 5 devices at once; the other figures are 10 simultaneous devices and 5 devices plus a dedicated US IP address.
