Surfshark’s Early Black Friday Sale: Up to $509 Off, and Antivirus Upgrade Is Free

Pay nothing for the first week, then the full bundle for the VPN’s price.

Reading time 2 minutes

Surfshark’s Black Friday deal is already live, and this year it comes with a twist. Surfshark One, the plan with antivirus and scam protection, now costs exactly the same as the basic VPN. Same $2.49 a month, same three free months, way more stuff.

And it gets better: through our link, every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, so you pay nothing for the first week. If you were planning to buy Surfshark anyway, the upgrade is basically free, and so is the test drive. Here’s the full Black Friday price list.

Surfshark Black Friday Prices at a Glance

  • Starter: $2.49 per month, 87% off + 3 free months (27 months total)
  • One: $2.49 per month, 88% off + 3 free months (27 months total)
  • One+: $3.99 per month, 83% off + 3 free months (27 months total)

That’s up to $509 saved compared to Surfshark’s regular prices, with no coupon code to hunt for. The discount applies automatically through the link.

Every plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Try it, keep it if you like it, ask for a refund if you don’t.

Starter vs. One: Why Would You Pay the Same for Less?

Short answer: you wouldn’t. Starter gives you the VPN, the CleanWeb ad blocker, and Alternative ID (a masked email and fake persona for sketchy sign-ups). That’s a solid package on its own, and the VPN is great for streaming and works on unlimited devices.

But for the exact same price, Surfshark One adds:

  • Antivirus with real-time protection, scheduled scans, and webcam protection
  • Scam protection that flags fake delivery texts and phishing emails before you click
  • Alert, which warns you when your email, credit card, or Social Security number shows up in a data breach

A standalone antivirus suite often costs about as much as this entire bundle, VPN included. Black Friday is also peak season for fake “your package is delayed” texts, so the timing couldn’t be better.

Is One+ Worth the Extra $1.50?

Only if identity theft keeps you up at night. One+ adds up to $1 million in identity theft insurance (US residents, except New York) and Incogni, which removes your personal data from data brokers and people search sites.

Here’s my take:

  • Want a fast VPN for streaming, public Wi-Fi, and blocking ads? Surfshark One covers it, and costs nothing extra over Starter.
  • Your details already leaked in a breach, or you’re tired of spam calls? One+ is worth the extra $1.50 a month.
  • Starter? Honestly, skip it this time.

Should You Wait Until Black Friday?

Why would you? The deal is live now, the price is locked for the full 27 months, and between the free week and the 30-day refund window, there’s zero risk in buying early. Surfshark hasn’t said when the sale ends, and once it does, the free upgrade to One is gone.
