Every VPN sells the same way, with a monthly rate small enough to feel like nothing attached to a term long enough that it adds up. NordVPN’s August coupon page advertises a two-year plan at $4 a month, but the company’s ordinary pricing page will sell you 27 months for $94, which is both cheaper per month and three months longer.
The NordVPN Coupon Deal
The NordVPN coupon page is currently running three offers, all measured against a struck-through $12 a month.
The two-year plan is listed at $3.89 a month, which comes to roughly $93 across 24 months, and carries a “Save 68%” badge.
A 20-month plan runs $4.49 a month, or about $90 for the full term, badged at 64%.
A three-month plan is $7.99 a month, which totals about $24.
Every plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee and covers 10 devices at once.
Pricing is accurate as of publication and can change without notice.
Why the Pricing Page Beats the Coupon Page
NordVPN’s standard pricing page lists the two-year Basic plan at $94 for the first 27 months, because the two-year term currently comes with three extra months attached.
That is $1 more than the coupon page’s 24-month equivalent, for three additional months of service, and it works out to about $3 a month against the coupon page’s $4.
The coupon page also never says which plan tier its prices apply to, while the pricing page breaks out Basic, Complete, and Prime with the features attached to each.
Complete, which adds antivirus, a password manager, and 1 TB of cloud storage, is $121 for the same 27 months.
Prime, which layers on credit monitoring and identity theft insurance, is $202.
What the Discount Percentage Actually Measures
The savings badges are not measured against a normal retail price, and NordVPN says so in its own footnotes.
The comparison figure is the renewal rate, so the struck-through $313 on the Basic plan is simply 27 months priced at what you will pay once the intro term ends.
Calculated that way the Basic discount is about 70%, which is accurate as arithmetic and close to meaningless as a guide to whether $94 is a good price.
The number that matters more is the renewal itself, since Basic renews at $139 a year.
Year three alone therefore costs $45 more than the entire first 27 months combined, which is the part of the offer the badge is built to distract from.
Who Should Skip It
Anyone who wants to pay month to month should look elsewhere, because Basic is $15 a month on a rolling plan, roughly four times the two-year rate.
The 30-day money-back window covers the start of the subscription and not the renewal, so the guarantee does nothing for the moment the price actually jumps.
There is also a live legal wrinkle for one group of buyers, since Utah’s SB 73 is the first US state law aimed at VPN use to get around age verification, and Utah agreed to hold off enforcement until Sept. 3, 2026 while the law is challenged in court.
If that is your reason for subscribing, the picture in that state changes in nine days, and it is worth watching how the case lands before committing to a two-year term.
