Surfshark VPN Review 2026: Prices, Audits & Unlimited Devices

Surfshark is a low-cost VPN that allows unlimited devices on every plan. During its Black Friday sale, Starter costs $2.49 a month on a two-year term ($67.23 for the first 27 months); Surfshark doesn’t show the renewal price on its pricing page. It suits households and anyone with many devices who wants a good VPN for less. My rating is 4.6/5.

Streaming

Surfshark frames streaming as connecting to your home region while travelling to keep watching what you usually do, and notes that “results may vary depending on the platform”. Which streaming libraries work through any VPN changes often, and streaming services’ own terms may restrict VPN use. Use a VPN to watch subscriptions you already pay for, and check the service’s terms.

Refunds

Surfshark gives a full refund within 30 days of your first purchase. It doesn’t apply to renewals, to accounts already refunded, to purchases outside its authorised billing partners, or to add-ons such as a dedicated IP.

Surfshark vs NordVPN

Surfshark costs less on its sale and has no device limit; NordVPN allows 10 devices and adds more security extras on its higher tiers. See also Proton VPN and my best VPN services comparison.
