Subscribe to our newsletter Significant price shifts are rare in the budget VPN market, making Private Internet Accesss (PIA) drop from $2.03 to just $1.75 per month a notable event.

While PIA has recently been overshadowed by rising competitors like Norton
VPN , this new low price reasserts its value. Since I've been reviewing VPNs, its price has always been between $1.98 and $2.03 a month, making it a firm resident in our best cheap VPNs guide. Beyond the savings, it remains one of the most customizable tools on the market and is perfect for power users who want to hyper-optimize their connection.

At $45.55 upfront for 24 months, its now cheaper than our current budget champion, Surfshark. Plus, you're getting comparable app support and more technical flexibility for less. Private Internet Access: now only $1.75/month ($45.55 total) PIA is a veteran VPN that's perfect for experienced users. It gives more customization options than almost any VPN out there, with servers in 91 countries. It also works well with streaming services and offers unlimited simultaneous connections, so you're never stuck with a device you can't secure. All PIA plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee , so if you're unhappy, you get your money back. View Deal If PIAs utilitarian interface and complex settings feel like overkill, there are several user-friendly alternatives to consider.

ExpressVPN remains my top recommendation VPN for beginners. Right now, it's only $2.77/month, which is cheap for most VPNs. Its significantly faster than PIA and offers a more seamless experience for unblocking global streaming libraries.

Surfshark is another strong contender. It currently clocks in faster and cheaper than ExpressVPN, though its security suite is slightly leaner. While the extra speed is a bonus, don't expect it to outperform ExpressVPN when it comes to consistently unblocking streaming services.

For those who want the best of all worlds, NordVPN is the answer. As our #1 rated VPN, it commands a slight premium typically starting just north of $3 per month.

For that extra dollar, youre getting industry-leading security, elite streaming performance, and a perfect balance of "set-and-forget" ease with enough customizability for when you want to tinker. +4 MONTHS FREE ExpressVPN 24 month 1.99 /mth View Deal +3 months free Surfshark 24 Months 1.49 /mth
