NordVPN plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $3.99/month | 5 | Entry tier |
| Plus | $4.99/month | 4 | +$1/month, 4 more features |
| Complete | $5.99/month | 3 | +$1/month, 3 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring NordVPN in for vpn, privacy, online security. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to NordVPN are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for NordVPN
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between $3.99/month and $5.99/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare NordVPN against the tools that do have one before committing.
NordVPN runs on web, desktop, mobile, api, and is published by Nord Security of Panama. The full record is on the NordVPN review.
NordVPN pricing questions
- How much does NordVPN cost?
- NordVPN publishes 3 tiers, from $3.99/month for Standard up to $5.99/month for Complete. The cheapest paid tier is $3.99/month.
- Does NordVPN have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: NordVPN is listed as subscription. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.
- What is the difference between Standard and Plus on NordVPN?
- Plus costs $4.99/month against $3.99/month, and adds all standard features, threat protection pro, nordpass password manager, data breach scanner.

- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is all plus features, nordlocker 1tb encrypted cloud, identity theft protection. It costs $5.99/month against $3.99/month for Standard. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with NordVPN?
- The record lists 30 features across 6 areas: core, integrations, security, deployment, platform, localization. In practice it is brought in for vpn, privacy, online security.
- Does NordVPN charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these NordVPN prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare NordVPN against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to NordVPN to make a useful price comparison.
