ExpressVPN Pro vs Basic: which plan offers the best end-of-year promo?

If you want to enjoy ExpressVPN at a low price, now is the perfect time to subscribe. On the occasion of Black Friday, the supplier offered exceptional discounts of up to 74%, accompanied by 4 free months on its 2-year subscriptions. A week later, the offer is still online, allowing access to this premium VPN from €2.99 per month. But between the Basic and Pro offers, which has the best promotion? This comparison will help you make the right choice.

ExpressVPN Basic at €2.99/month: the essentials at the best price

Basic is ExpressVPN’s entry-level plan. This does not mean that it is any less effective than others when it comes to data protection or online privacy. It uses exactly the same technologies and relies on the same infrastructure.

You benefit from AES 256-bit encryption to secure your internet traffic, post-quantum protection, the Lightway protocol, as well as advanced features such as blocking advertisements and malicious sites. The Basic plan also gives access to ExpressVPN’s network of more than 3,000 servers spread across 105 countries.

What Basic doesn’t include are some additional tools like password manager, dedicated IP or other advanced options. However, this makes it more affordable, especially during this end-of-year period when its price is reduced by 82% for a 2-year subscription. Instead of €11.49 per month, it is offered at only €2.10 per month, or €58.80 for 28 months with the 4 free months included.

For this price, you can protect up to 10 devices at the same time with a single account. ExpressVPN is compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Apple TV, Fire Stick, Android TV, as well as some router models.

ExpressVPN Pro at €6.42/month: complete protection at a reduced rate

If you want more than just VPN protection, Pro is ExpressVPN’s most premium plan. As such, it is also the most complete. The subscription includes everything offered in the Basic plan and adds several additional features: a tracker and adult site blocker, the Keys password manager, a holiday.com eSIM, a dedicated IP and a 75% discount on the Aircove Wi-Fi 6 router.

ExpressVPN Keys is one of the best-performing password managers in its class. It allows you to save an unlimited number of passwords and generate secure passwords. The tool also includes handy features like autofill across all types of apps and websites, password security monitoring, and zero-knowledge encryption.

As for the holiday.com eSIM, it allows you to stay connected in more than 150 countries, with 5 days of unlimited data offered with the Pro subscription.

Finally, ExpressVPN Pro offers broader coverage, allowing up to 14 simultaneous connections with a single account.
