Surfshark Promo Codes: 87% Off | October 2026
Surfshark is one of our favorite VPNs for bypassing geographic restrictions on content (like accessing Netflix) and for protecting your web traffic when using an open Wi-Fi hotspot. It’s secure and offers great value if you pay for two years upfront. We also like that Surfshark’s plans are simple: a single Surfshark subscription works on multiple devices at once and protects your entire household. No multiple accounts, no confusion. Get award-winning security that’s even more budget-friendly with our roundup of top Surfshark coupons, plans from $3 per month, and 3 free months on 1- or 2-year subscriptions.
Right now, you can get a 7-day free trial, an extra 3 months free on all 1-year and 2-year plans, and up to 87% off with active Surfshark coupon codes. The Surfshark Starter Plan is still the cheapest—now it starts at $2 per month on a 2-year plan, compared with $20 per month if you were paying month to month. The most comprehensive plan is Surfshark One+, now 81% off at $4 per month. Even the basic Surfshark Starter plan includes unlimited devices, ad and cookie pop-up blockers, double encryption, and alternative IDs.
Surfshark also offers Surfshark One Plus for $6 per month, with 3 months free. Surfshark One adds features like real-time credit card and ID breach alerts, personal data security reports, and antivirus and anti-malware software. One Plus includes all that and adds data removal services. You can see the full breakdown of services and a comparison of the plans on the Surfshark website.
In my testing over the years, Surfshark has consistently delivered some of the best speeds of any VPN I've used. I have never had any problems streaming HD content through Surfshark. It's fast enough that you won't notice any speed degradation.
If you’re feeling commitment-shy, fear not. There is a 7-day free trial on all plans, plus a 30-day refund period if Surfshark isn’t right for you. Just contact Surfshark, and you’ll receive a full refund within 30 days with their money-back guarantee. With your Surfshark free trial, you can change your IP with 3,200+ encrypted servers, encrypt your connection to stop data tracking, and more.
Students can get an even better deal on Surfshark by adding an extra 15% discount to VPN and Antivirus plans, on top of the coupons above. To receive your discount code, first verify your student status through StudentBeans on Surfshark’s website. Graduate students can get the graduate discount of 15% off the already great price of $1.99 per month.
When you invite friends to use Surfshark, you can earn cash rewards. With the refer a friend program, you can now choose between getting up to 3 free months of Surfshark or receiving the equivalent amount via PayPal (up to $38). If your invited friend purchases 1 month of Surfshark, you’ll both get 1 month free. If your invited friend purchases a longer Surfshark plan, you’ll both get 3 months free. To redeem, share the unique referral link in your Surfshark app with as many friends as you want. When each friend signs up and keeps their account active for 31 days, you’ll be able to choose whether you want money in your account or free months added to your Surfshark subscription.
Surfshark knows how important it is to protect your privacy and secure your devices. That’s why Surfshark Antivirus is here to guard all your devices without interruption. The Surfshark Antivirus software supports up to 5 devices, provides regular updates, and includes advanced security features that protect you (and your devices) from a wide range of online threats. Plus, you can lock your camera and get alerted if a website tries to access your webcam without your permission. The Antivirus app is also customizable, depending on how you want to use it. You can exclude files and schedule full or quick scans.
