All the security you need, without paying for extras

VPN deal of the week: Save nearly $10 on Surfshark’s best-value plan

Surfshark has announced an attractive deal, reducing the cost of its One plan, the most budget-friendly choice, to $67.23 for a two-year subscription, equating to a $10 saving upfront. This appears to be the most economical offer since the company revised its prices a couple of months ago, and it is expected to be the most advantageous deal available until Black Friday.

The One plan encompasses additional security features such as Antivirus, Dark Web Monitoring, and Scam Protection. At $2.49 per month, this deal is $1 cheaper than NordVPN's entry-level tier, resulting in a monthly savings of approximately $27.

This offer is available for a limited time, ending on August 31. After this date, the price will return to $2.79 per month. Surfshark One is particularly recommended for those seeking to secure multiple devices on a tight budget. For under $2.50 per month, users gain access to a suite of security features on an unlimited number of devices, including an alternative email ID, safe search with ad and tracker-free functionality, an integrated Antivirus, personal data, credit card, and ID monitoring alerts, email scam detection powered by AI, and web content blocking to prevent access to unwanted websites.

For those who are uncertain about the service, Surfshark offers a 30-day money-back guarantee or a 7-day free trial, enabling users to test the platform risk-free. Despite a slight increase in price, Surfshark remains one of the top-performing VPNs tested in 2026. It offers download speeds exceeding 1,000 Mbps over WireGuard, unblocks the majority of popular streaming services without issues, and provides a comprehensive range of features to safeguard online data.

Although there has been a recent price increase, the VPN continues to be the most affordable option on the market. Moreover, the user-friendly app is easy to navigate for individuals new to VPNs, regardless of their chosen platform.

Compared to other VPN providers like NordVPN, Proton VPN, and ExpressVPN, Surfshark offers superior value for money. While higher-tier competitors boast slight enhancements in raw speed, privacy, or unblocking capabilities, these differences are often imperceptible during routine internet usage. Therefore, it is questionable whether the extra cost justifies the marginal improvements.
