ExpressVPN Plans Overview: Basic, Advance, and Express Pro
ExpressVPN has stacked its lineup with three clear tiers – Basic, Advance and Express Pro – each built on the same high-speed backbone but aimed at very different types of users.
At the heart of every plan is the same core promise: a fast VPN running on 40Gbps servers in key locations, with a network that stretches across 113 countries. The differences arrive when you look at how many devices you can cover, how aggressive the protection is, and what extras are bolted on.
Basic plan – entry point with essentials
The Basic plan is the gateway. It connects up to 10 devices at once and uses Lite Protection to strip out ads and block malicious and adult sites. It doesn’t include a dedicated IP by default, but you can pay extra to add one.
Email privacy comes through ExpressMailGuard, limited here to a 10MB per month private email relay and 10 shared aliases. It’s a slim package, but it gives newcomers a taste of the ecosystem without overloading them.
Pricing is flexible: you can stay on a one‑month rolling contract, or lock in for longer. A 12‑month commitment (one year plus an extra three months) cuts the cost by more than 60%, while the two‑year option (two years plus an extra four months) pushes savings to 80%. All of it sits under a 30‑day money‑back guarantee for new users.
Advance plan – the crowd favourite
The Advance plan is pitched as the most popular for a reason. It keeps the same 40Gbps, 113‑country network, but raises the ceiling to 12 devices at once and upgrades security to Advanced Protection, which not only blocks ads and malicious and adult sites, but also targets trackers.
A dedicated IP is again available as a paid add‑on rather than standard, but the real jump comes with the bundled tools. ExpressMailGuard is upgraded to a 100MB per month private email relay, 50 shared aliases and a custom domain. On top of that sits ExpressKeys, a password manager that supports an unlimited number of passwords and folds in a 2FA authenticator.
Those willing to commit get aggressive discounts. The 12‑month plan (one year plus three extra months) trims the price by more than 60%, while the two‑year deal (two years plus four extra months) pushes savings to 73%. Both long‑term options add a travel perk: a 3GB holiday.com eSIM, valid for three days in more than 150 destinations. The 30‑day money‑back guarantee remains in place.
Express Pro – top tier, fully loaded
At the top of the tree sits Express Pro. It uses the same high‑speed, 40Gbps server network across 113 countries, but stretches coverage to 14 devices at once and keeps Advanced Protection in place to block ads, trackers and malicious and adult content.
Here, a dedicated IP is no longer an extra – it’s included. The surrounding toolkit is also cranked up to maximum. ExpressMailGuard removes the caps, offering an unlimited private email relay, unlimited shared aliases and support for 20 custom domains.
ExpressKeys stays in place with unlimited password storage and a 2FA authenticator, but Express Pro adds one more layer: ExpressAI. This AI assistant offers 500 credits a day, access to six AI models, integrated web search and 2GB of storage.
The pricing structure mirrors the rest of the range. There’s a one‑month rolling option, but the real value lies in longer commitments. A 12‑month plan (one year plus three extra months) brings savings of around 60%, while the two‑year version (two years plus four extra months) lifts that to 67%. Long‑term subscribers also receive a 3GB holiday.com eSIM, this time valid for five days in more than 150 destinations. As with the other tiers, new users are covered by a 30‑day money‑back guarantee.
Three plans, one network, and a clear split: entry‑level basics, a feature‑rich middle ground, and a fully loaded flagship for users who want every tool on the table.
