Pricing Issues Reported by Users
Surfshark renewal price much higher than the price you signed up at
The advertised $1.78-$4.18/month only applies to the first 27-month term. Plans then renew yearly at $79 (Starter), $99 (One) or $119 (One+) before tax; Tom's Guide calculated renewal increases of around 230% for Starter and One and 149% for One+. Users who paid ~$2/month report being charged $80+ for 12 months without realising.
Surfshark auto-renewed without warning and won't refund
About half of recent 1-star Trustpilot reviews are about refunds refused or past the window. Surfshark's policy excludes renewed subscriptions from the 30-day guarantee, and its renewal reminder email is not sent for 1-month plans, so users who miss the email are charged with no refund route.
Surfshark One+ price raised twice in early 2026
Pricing trackers recorded a 7% One+ increase in January 2026 and a 19% jump to $4.99/month on the 2-year deal in March, before a later cut to $4.18. One was also raised from $2.29 to $2.49 in February. Intro prices change often, so the deal you see this month may not be the one you get next month.
Surfshark monthly plan is expensive
Paying month to month costs $15.45 (Starter) to around $20.85 (One+), roughly 8-10x the 2-year rate. Reviewers call the monthly Starter price one of the worst values among VPNs, which pushes buyers into long upfront commitments.
Antivirus and identity extras inflate the price
One and One+ bundle antivirus, alerts and Incogni data removal, which raise the price over VPN-only rivals, and some extras such as identity theft coverage are US-only (excluding New York) while Incogni covers only the US, UK, EU, Switzerland and Canada.
