NordVPN reveals $1M identity theft coverage in Prime plan update
What happened
Between the Apr 20, 2026 and Apr 27, 2026 captures of NordVPN's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Prime plan insurance benefits now show explicit dollar amounts ($1M identity theft insurance, $100k cyber extortion insurance) instead of vague 'Advanced Identity protection against cyber crimes' description. Pulse files it as a product change (feature change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 26, 2026) lists Basic at $3.09, Complete at $3.99 and Prime at $6.99.
It lands 3 days after NordVPN's previous change, "NordVPN consolidates Dark Web Monitor tiers, simplifies feature labels" (Apr 24, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "All 2-year plan monthly prices decreased: Basic $3.39->$3.09/mo, Plus $3.89->$3.59/mo, Complete $" (Apr 9, 2026), "NordVPN Raises 2-Year Plan Prices Up to 13%, Sweetens Deal With Gift Cards" (Apr 3, 2026) and "NordVPN expands dark web monitoring to cover phone numbers" (Mar 16, 2026). NordVPN has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window Surfshark, ExpressVPN, CyberGhost VPN and Hotspot Shield also changed their Cybersecurity & Identity Management pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
