Norton VPN Cost and Pricing Plans

You probably know Norton for its antivirus software, but the company offers a wide range of digital security services and products, including a standalone VPN. As you might expect, Norton VPN is a quality service, and we’ve rated it as one of the best VPN services of 2026. It has servers in dozens of countries, offers good speed, and has a built-in tracker blocking feature to keep prying eyes out of your computer.

Unfortunately, it isn’t the most affordable VPN, especially as a standalone service rather than as a part of a Norton antivirus package. After testing Norton VPN for more than a month, we decided to write this pricing review to help you decide if it’s a good pick.

We’ll start by giving you an overview of Norton’s pricing, and then we’ll discuss what those subscriptions include.

Costs

How Much Does Norton VPN Cost?

As a standalone product, the Standard plan for Norton VPN has an average price tag. However, considering that, “the main reasons people opt to use VPNs is to keep personal data safe from hackers amid a steady increase in cyberattacks as life and work become more digital,”1 you may want to consider more than just the Standard plan. The Plus and Ultimate plans bundle in additional digital security features that offer even more digital security and privacy. Consider the three plan tiers below, what they include, and what they cost.

When we last tested Norton VPN, there was a month-to-month subscription available, but the company has since done away with that option. Other than that small detail, our full review dives into what we liked, didn’t like and how we used the VPN.

Is There A Free Trial For Norton VPN?

Unfortunately, no. You need to buy a subscription to test out Norton VPN yourself.

There is, however, a money-back option if it’s your first time buying an annual subscription. It’s good for the first 60 days. If you cancel within that period, you’ll get your money back.

Still, all options from Norton VPN require you to buy a subscription initially. If you’re trying to avoid spending even a dime on a VPN, check out our list of the best free VPNs. They are safe, they work, and best of all, they are free. Although, that’s not to say they give you the same capabilities as paid options.

Our Favorite Norton VPN Features

With a trusted name like Norton comes a fairly robust package of services. That’s why we were pleased to see some of these additional services from Norton VPN.

• Secure VPN: With the Norton name on a product, you can rest easy knowing that the product is safe and secure. As such a large company and big player in the online security space, they have a fantastic track record with keeping their customer’s data safe. The bare minimum of any VPN service is a secure VPN. Norton delivered on this base requirement.
• Bank-Grade Encryption: Unsurprisingly, Norton boasts AES 256-bit encryption to secure our connection, one of the most robust security encryption systems in consumer software.
• Multi-hop: Multi-hop means every time we log on to the VPN, we’re routed through not just one server but multiple servers. This makes it much harder to track our online movements. Unfortunately, multi-hop is only available with some servers, and using it is dependent on just how close you are to those servers.
• Anonymous Browsing: The Norton VPN services let us browse the web anonymously so our privacy was protected from online trackers. To further ensure our anonymity, Norton offered us dynamic IP addresses which changed every time we logged on.
• Mobile Access: Whether you’re jumping on a hotel Wi-Fi abroad or grabbing coffee at your local café, Norton VPN lets you surf the web on the go without stressing about unsecured public connections.
• Block tracking for Ads: We’re always getting ads for things we already bought or are thinking about buying. With Norton, those tracking technologies were blocked so online retailers (looking at you Amazon!) stopped collecting our information.
• Up to 10 Device Connectivity: Some VPNs only support one or two devices at a time. With Norton, we were able to connect every single device we had; this was super useful when we took our tablets to grab coffee around the corner.
• Streaming: We had no issues streaming Netflix using Norton VPN. Without a VPN, we were limited to only the U.S Library, but with Norton Secure VPN, we watched movies and shows only available in other countries, a big win for film nerds like us.
• Kill Switch: The kill switch was a feature of Norton VPN that “killed” our connection to the internet when the VPN disconnected. As we implied before, coffee shops are one of our favorite places to do work outside of the office, but after we lost our connection to Norton Secure while doing some research, we could’ve been exposed to trackers either from advertisers or from the shop’s ISP, who would’ve been able to see all of our web activity. Thankfully, Norton killed our internet connection and prevented any potential exposure.
• Split tunneling: Split tunneling is yet another handy feature Norton VPN offers, though for now only on its Windows and Android apps. Split tunneling allows us to stay connected to a local server at the same time we’re connected to the VPN. That means we can browse recipes for dinner at the same time we’re sending work files through our encrypted VPN.

Norton isn’t the flashiest VPN on the market, but it covers all the essentials without overcomplicating things — a solid pick if you want something simple, reliable, and budget-friendly. Another benefit of Norton VPN is that it bundles well with Norton’s suite of security products. If you opt for Norton’s 360 Security package, you receive access to Norton VPN, Lifelock’s dark web monitoring, among other benefits. To learn more, read our full review of LifeLock.

A Quick Background on Norton

We’ve been talking a lot about how Norton is a trusted name in cybersecurity, but where did they come from? Why should we trust them? We had a lot of these questions too, so we did a bit of research.

In 1990, back when computer viruses were transmitted over floppy disks,2 Peter Norton designed a software suite to help protect, optimize and maintain a computer. Computers that ran Norton Utilities improved speed and overall performance. Flash forward eight years to 1998 and Norton had designed the most complete software to help computers deal with the Y2K bug.

Since then, Norton has become a part of the world’s largest civilian cyber intelligence network, allowing them to identify and protect against advanced cyberthreats. Today, Norton is part of Gen Digital, operating in more than 150 countries, helping to protect against viruses, malware, online tracking, attacks on home Wi-Fi networks, identity theft, and much more.

Canceling Norton VPN

Canceling Norton VPN is fairly easy. We were happy to find out that we could cancel our account without speaking directly with customer service; this helped us avoid anyone trying to sell us on the product again. To cancel, we simply signed into our account, went to the My Subscriptions tab, and turned off our subscription to the VPN. The catch is that if we chose to cancel the automatic renewal on our VPN, we would have to manually renew our subscription before it expired or we would lose it completely.

There is another option to give Norton VPN a try without committing to pay for the full service. If we had purchased Norton VPN within the last 60 days and we notified Norton support before cancelation, we would be entitled to request a refund. To do this we would simply contact Norton support at their support hotline: (855) 815-2726.

Recap

Coming in, we had some preconceived notions about Norton’s VPN service. With serious name recognition in the online security field, we were excited to test out their capabilities. If Norton was able to deliver a good product, at a solid price point, it could be a great option not only for people who already use the Norton suite of services, but for a wider audience as well.

As far as affordability goes, Norton VPN holds its own. The flexibility of the plan structures, alongside the ability to add up to 10 devices depending on your package, is the standout feature Norton brings to the table. Covering just your laptop is fine, but if you’re someone constantly bouncing between your phone, tablet, and laptop — especially on public Wi-Fi — multi-device coverage is a must. Considering the average U.S. household now owns around 22 connected devices, according to Deloitte’s 2024 Connectivity and Mobile Trends survey,3 the 10-device package makes a lot of sense. We were looking for a VPN that balanced strong security with a trusted name, and Norton delivered on both fronts.
