Surfshark is leading the early Black Friday charge with a headline deal on its Surfshark One package: this sees the price slashed to just $2.19 per month on a 24-month plan with additional months added for free, as if you’re not getting enough value already.
Packaged together in one subscription, the service bundles in a full VPN, antivirus coverage, data breach alerts, and private search for buyers looking for broad protection without dealing with several different apps or bills.
Why This Surfshark One Early Deal Is Perfect
Value is the hook here. Surfshark is already cheaper than many big-name competitors on a month-by-month basis, and the One plan generally costs more than its VPN-only tier. And lowering it to $2.19, while throwing in more free months at that price too, gets you one of the stronger early-season security deals out there.
There’s also something inside the sticker price. Surfshark can connect an unlimited number of devices at once, which is rare in the VPN market where five to 10 devices is the norm. Its network covers some 100 locations around the world, and it has apps you can rely on across Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and browser extensions — a consideration if you’re outfitting a household or setting up for hybrid work.
For privacy, Surfshark’s no-logs assertions have been audited independently by Deloitte, which is more than some VPNs can claim. Speeds may not be as fast out of the gate (ahem, “express” ones), but the WireGuard protocol typically provides smooth HD streaming and stable video calls for most average internet users. For its part, there’s a 30-day money-back guarantee that takes the edge off the risk.
What You Get With Surfshark One in This Bundle
The One bundle includes four essential layers: VPN, antivirus, breach monitoring and privacy-first search. The VPN features contemporary cryptographic protocols (WireGuard, IKEv2, OpenVPN), RAM-only servers and an optional ad, tracker, and malware blocker (CleanWeb) that can reduce the risk of page bloat and phishing.
The antivirus portion provides real-time protection, as well as “scheduled scans that if you schedule them for when you’re not at your PC will run quietly so it doesn’t kneecap device performance.” It offers less than the most full-featured suites, but that should cover what most users want, including quarantine, ransomware flags and automatic updating.
Surfshark Alert monitors for exposed credentials at all times, and informs you when your email gets leaked or new password dumps are found as an easy-to-use supplement to the ever-growing breach magnitude. New analysis from the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report underlines how prevalent stolen credentials are in compromises, and the U.S. consumer watchdog has made repeated warnings about skyrocketing identity fraud losses.
Also included in the bundle is Surfshark Search, which sidesteps profiling and ads; an optional masked identity feature creates alternative emails to help reduce unwanted messages and minimize data exposure when signing up for services.
How the Pricing Here Breaks Down Over the Term
Surfshark One frequently hovers around $2.49 per month on longer plans. At $2.19, that discount effectively grows to about 12% off every month and all those extra free months stretch the available value out even further. Over a base 24-month term, that $0.30 difference can multiply; spread across the additional time, and we’re back at the lower effective monthly rate.
That’s par for the course in the VPN industry, which also generally requires upfront payment for the full term, and keep in mind that renewal rates are likely to jump once promotions have run their course. If you’re bargain-hunting, do give it a go and if less than happy then be sure to reconsider before the end of the subscription period and exploit the 30-day money-back guarantee to check performance on your own networks and devices.
Who Should Consider It and Why This Bundle Fits
Unlimited connections are most useful to households with numerous devices. Those who are constantly on the go will benefit from secured browsing via the VPN’s encrypted tunnel, and antivirus coverage on popular public Wi‑Fi for remote work and study. A breach scanner provides direct value to anyone who reuses passwords (which, despite years of security warnings, many still do).
Small teams and solo entrepreneurs, meanwhile, get a neat bundle: one subscription to protect laptops and phones, real-time malware protection, and alerts if business emails turn up in a breach. Streamers will see mixed results depending on region, but for most WireGuard is a good option for HD content and normal browsing.
Caveats and Buying Advice Before You Subscribe
Connection times to servers can sometimes be slower than the fastest competitors, speeds can vary from server to server, and peak-hour performance can be unknown. If you require the best possible throughput and features or extra security gadgets available in heavyweight antivirus packages, check to see whether Surfshark’s laid-back attitude toward these areas is acceptable.
That said, the breadth of the bundle at this price is one hell of a deal. Boasting independent privacy auditing, unlimited device coverage and a competent antivirus—and including data breach alerts for good measure—the $2.19 early deal is a solid all-in-one option for those looking to up their baseline security without shelling out egregious amounts—particularly with the wave of later-season sales looming.
