Head-to-head comparisons
Common questions about Surfshark plans
How many devices can I use with one Surfshark subscription?
As many as you like. All three plans allow unlimited devices at the same time, so one subscription can cover the whole household.
Why is the advertised price so much lower than the monthly price?
The headline price is for a 2-year introductory deal paid all at once. Paying month by month costs far more, and after the introductory term the subscription renews at Surfshark's standard price.
What is the difference between One and One+?
One+ adds Incogni, a service that contacts data-selling companies and asks them to delete the information they hold about you, plus identity theft coverage for eligible US customers.
Can I get a refund?
Surfshark advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee on all plans, and a 7-day free trial through the mobile app stores.

Prices come from the price table published in Surfshark's own blog article 'Surfshark VPN plans explained' (24-month, 12-month and 1-month columns), because the Surfshark pricing page itself only renders the 24-month introductory offer. CONFLICT NOTED: a separate official Surfshark blog article, 'VPN cost: how can you save?', gives a single monthly figure of $15.45 and a 1-year figure of $3.19/month without saying which plan those refer to, so the exact monthly prices should be re-checked at purchase. Surfshark does not publish renewal prices anywhere public; its terms only say 'Upon renewal, you will be charged the applicable renewal price'. All annual amounts here are the advertised 12-month per-month rate multiplied by 12 and are likely to be introductory. Dedicated IP and Alternative Number are paid add-ons on any plan.
