In short

A strength is something at most 3 of the 11 providers we follow offer; a weakness is something at most 3 of them lack. From the facts below, with sources.

Strengths

  • Strength: Identity theft insurance also at Surfshark
  • Strength: Travel eSIM included also at PureVPN

Only at ExpressVPN

  • ExpressAI: AI chatbot in the browser that, according to the provider, processes conversations in a secure hardware enclave and does not train on them.
  • ExpressVPN MCP server: Optional local bridge that lets AI coding tools check and change VPN settings (connect, switch location, diagnostics); it rejects remote connections.
  • Fortify: ExpressVPN's own router with the VPN built in, so every device on the home network uses it without an app.
  • Built-in speed test: Speed test inside the app to find the fastest server.
