VPN deals
A deal here means a price that's really lower than what we've seen the same plan sell for, with the renewal price right beside it.
Last updated 8 Oct 2026
No deals yet. We started checking prices on 5 Oct 2026, and we only call something a deal once we have 30 days of our own prices to compare it with: from around 4 Nov 2026. Until then, here's what we're watching.
How we decide what's a deal
- We compare a plan's first payment today with the middle price we observed for it over the previous 30 days. A drop of 10% or more is a deal.
- Every deal shows that reference price, the dates it covers and today's price, so you can check it against the plan's price history.
- We never use a provider's own "was" price or "save 80%" banner. Those compare against prices few people ever paid.
- The renewal price goes next to every deal, because that's what you'll pay from the second term on.
What we're watching
Each VPN's plan with the lowest cost over three years, as last checked. The big sales are coming: Click Frenzy in November, Black Friday on 27 November, Cyber Monday on 30 November, and Boxing Day.
