ExpressVPN vs Sophos Home

ExpressVPN is a premium consumer VPN known for fast speeds, a large global server network, and a very easy setup, with an audited no-logs policy. It is a mainstream, polished choice.

Sophos Home brings the same predictive AI threat detection and SophosLabs-powered malware engine used in Sophos's business endpoint products to home users. It covers ransomware rollback protection, real-time scanning, web/phishing filtering, banking protection, and remote management so a household can monitor security across all its computers from one online dashboard, plus parental web filtering for family use.

• Fast and reliable
• Very easy to use
• Large server network
• Good for streaming

• Uses the same detection engine as Sophos's enterprise endpoint products, which perform well in independent lab tests
• Ransomware rollback can restore encrypted files rather than just blocking the attack
• Single license covers unlimited iOS and Android devices alongside up to 3 PCs/Macs
• Central web dashboard makes it easy to manage security for a whole family remotely

• No free tier
• Pricier than rivals
• Fewer power-user features

• The permanent free tier has been discontinued and replaced with only a 30-day trial, so ongoing protection now requires payment
• Device limit for computers is capped at 3 per license even on the top subscription tier, low compared to some competitors
• No Linux support for the consumer product
