What changes when the first term ends
The 15-month and 28-month plans are sold at an introductory price that only covers the first term. Any bonus months are part of that first term, which is why it does not run a whole number of years. When it ends, the plan renews at ExpressVPN's regular price, and the price you paid up front no longer applies.
The 1-month plans have no introductory price. They renew at the price you start on: Basic $14.99, Advanced $16.99 and Express Pro $22.99 a month.
