ExpressVPN switches to multi-tiered pricing plans, letting users tweak features to plan duration

ExpressVPN has introduced a new tiered pricing structure, offering three levels of service - Basic, Advanced, and Pro. Each level can be purchased for monthly, yearly, or two-year durations, providing users with more flexibility in choosing the plan that best suits their needs. The Basic plan includes core VPN functionality, while the Advanced plan adds features like ad blockers, parental controls, and identity protection services. The Pro plan further enhances the offering with dedicated IP addresses, more simultaneous connections, and deeper discounts on ExpressVPN's Aircove router. The new pricing structure is similar to the approach used by other major VPN providers, such as NordVPN and Surfshark. It allows users to tailor their subscription to their specific requirements, rather than being locked into a fixed set of features based on the plan duration. The article notes that the new pricing options are generally more cost-effective than the previous ExpressVPN subscription model, with the two-year Basic plan costing around 30% less than before. However, the author cautions that the Basic plan may be lacking in certain key features, and recommends waiting for further confirmation before making a decision.
