What the Community Says
NordVPN comes up a lot as a “solid all-rounder” VPN that’s easy to use and generally feels reliable day to day. People like the speed when everything’s working normally, and it’s often mentioned as a good pick for streaming devices like Firestick. It also gets praise for privacy features like no-logs claims and extras like Meshnet for connecting devices.
The biggest gripe is pricing and renewals: the intro deal can look great, then the renewal jumps hard and leaves people feeling burned. Some also complain about account and billing headaches (especially when mixing website subscriptions with Google Play), plus occasional slowdowns depending on protocol/server. And while many trust it, the old security-breach history still makes some folks uneasy about transparency.
Strengths
- Good everyday speeds
- Easy to use on phones and streaming devices
- Lots of servers and locations
- Privacy-focused features (no-logs claims, extra tools like Meshnet)
- Works well for many people with multiple devices
Weaknesses
- Renewal price can jump unexpectedly
- Billing and account login/device-limit issues
- Can be slow on some settings or servers
- Past security incident still worries some people
- Not the cheapest long-term option

Reviews about "Expensive"
10 reviews"NordVPN worked fine for me but felt pricey compared to others."
"Is NordVPN still worth it in 2026? I want to buy a VPN and I see lots of ads for NordVPN. I heard good things about them a few years ago, but I'm wondering if they'll still be competitive in 2026? Has anyone used them recently? How good i..."
"@ProtonVPN Sure, suggestions? I don't afford Proton VPN, SurfShark, Nord VPN, Mulvad VPN, Avast VPN (HideMyAss!). Know any cheaper one?"
"I dropped NordVPN this year after using it for 3. I'm not paying $15+ a month for a VPN I can get for $3-$5"
"...a paid Atlas VPN user and I got the email saying they were shutting down and migrating all users to NordVPN. I finally got around to trying to use my "migrated" account, and it's a complete mess. I paid for a multi-year subscription with At..."
"I signed up in 2024 with Nord at $82 for 2 years. I just received an email notifying me that the upcoming renewal will cost me $150 a year. I guess I will be looking for alternatives....Proton perhaps."
"More ppl need to know this. Also if you pay for a VPN service like nord or Proton youre being ripped off. VPNs are easy to set up for dirt cheap."
"Nordvpn took 170e out of my bank this year,won't be doing that again,moving to WINDSCRIBE."
"My payment of $150/year for @NordVPN failed - well no shit sherlock - It cost less than $100 to sign up in the first place 2 years ago. I'm not letting you jack up the prices over 50% - F that noise."
"@NordVPN You guys are the real scammers. Significantly raising subscription prices after current one lapses."
