How Much Does Surfshark Cost? (2026)
Updated October 2026
Surfshark's three tiers run $2.49, $2.79, and $4.49 per month on the 27-month promo — Starter (just the VPN), One (VPN + security bundle), and One+ (which bundles the Incogni data-removal service). The headline number is the promo; renewals jump toward the annual rate, so the tier decision and the term decision are separate decisions.
| Tier | Promo rate | Term price | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surfshark Starter27-month promo term | $2.49/mo | $67.23 sale (vs $444.15 list) | The core VPN: unlimited devices, CleanWeb, kill switch, no-logs (Deloitte-audited). |
| Surfshark One27-month promo term | $2.79/mo | $75.33 (vs $511.65 list) | Adds the security bundle: Antivirus, Alert (breach monitoring), Search (private search), Alternative ID. |
| Surfshark One+27-month promo term | $4.49/mo | $121.23 (vs $589.95 list) | Adds Identity Guard (dark-web monitoring) and Incogni data-broker removal at a bundled price. |
Which tier is worth the extra $0.30–$2?
For $0.30/mo over Starter, One adds antivirus, breach alerts, and private search — good value if you'd otherwise pay for a standalone antivirus. One+ ($4.49/mo) is only worth it if you'd use Incogni anyway: bundled, it's cheaper than buying data-broker removal separately (see our Incogni cost page for the standalone price ladder).
The renewal jump
The 27-month promo is an initial-term price; on renewal Surfshark moves you to its then-current annual rate — in our dataset a 45–100% jump versus the promo, and the single most recurring complaint in Surfshark reviews. That still tends to be competitive on price, but price the renewal, not the promo, if you plan to keep the subscription past the first term. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee on long plans.
