How much does NordVPN cost once the intro price runs out?
Summary
On NordVPN's U.S. pricing page, the one-year and two-year plans all renew at a yearly rate that is well above the intro price: $139.08 a year for Basic, $219.48 for Complete and $296.28 for Prime. Before that, two-year Basic costs $94.23 for its first 27 months and one-year Basic costs $65.88 for its first 12. Paying month to month costs $14.99 for Basic, with no discount at all.
The big per-month figure is a divided total
NordVPN leads each plan card with a monthly figure, such as $3.49 for two-year Basic. You don't pay that monthly. You pay $94.23 up front, which is $3.49 times 27 months (two years plus three bonus months), and the card says so in smaller type.
The "Save 69%" badge is measured against the renewal price, not against the $14.99 monthly plan. The page labels its savings "intro vs. renewal prices," and the struck-through $312.93 on two-year Basic is exactly the $139.08 renewal rate stretched over 27 months.
All three plans on every term
| Plan | Monthly | 1-year, first 12 months | 2-year, first 27 months | Renews at |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $14.99 | $65.88 | $94.23 | $139.08/year |
| Complete | $19.99 | $77.88 | $121.23 | $219.48/year |
| Prime | $29.99 | $113.88 | $202.23 | $296.28/year |
Every plan covers 10 devices at once. Basic is the VPN plus scam and phishing protection and dark web monitoring for up to five email addresses. Complete adds desktop antivirus, ad and tracker blocking, a password manager, 1 TB of encrypted cloud storage, call and message protection, and wider dark web monitoring that includes phone and card numbers. Prime adds, on top of Complete, credit freeze help, $1M of identity theft insurance, $100K of cyber extortion insurance and single-bureau credit monitoring.
Free trial and refunds
- Free trial: seven days, only on one-year or two-year Prime, and only for people who have never subscribed. You need a credit card or PayPal; picking Google Pay or crypto makes the trial unavailable. It's offered in 13 countries including the U.S., Canada and the U.K., and not on app store purchases. If you don't cancel, the plan starts billing when the week ends. Android users who install from Google Play get a separate three-day trial.
- 30-day money-back guarantee: it covers the first auto-renewal subscription bought directly from NordVPN's website. A renewal charge isn't refundable under the policy unless local law says otherwise, and purchases through the Apple App Store, Amazon Appstore or other retailers are refunded by that seller.
