The easiest way to make a VPN cheaper is to opt for a longer subscription. VPN services regularly offer significantly reduced rates for longer commitments.
For example, while a single month of ExpressVPN can cost over $12.95, opting for a 12-month subscription lowers the price by 49% to $6.67 per month. Some providers even offer longer subscriptions, like PureVPN's 5-year offer at just $1.33 per month.
