ExpressVPN: free trial and refund

How does the free trial work?

Although it doesn’t offer a free trial period as such, ExpressVPN does offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, applicable to all of its monthly, semi-annual and annual plans.

This guarantee implies that subscription fees must be paid in full, but allows Internet users the possibility of withdrawing at any time, for 1 month. In the event of dissatisfaction, they will be refunded the entire amount paid at the time of subscription without needing to justify their withdrawal.

How does reimbursement work?

The refund occurs after the Internet user has explicitly contacted Express VPN customer service and expressed their desire to withdraw. The refund of advanced fees is made using the same payment method as that used when subscribing.

Any complaint must be made within the 30-day period granted by ExpressVPN. Beyond this deadline, payment will be considered final for the entire duration of the subscribed package.

How to take advantage of the free trial?

Since the free trial offered by ExpressVPN consists of a money-back guarantee, you must register for the service and pay your subscription in full.

To request a refund of the subscription during the 30-day guarantee period, have your reference/file number ready. In your browser, connect to your ExpressVPN online space, locate the Live Chat button at the bottom right of the interface.

In the dedicated field, enter the email address used to subscribe to ExpressVPN, then click Start Chat. You are quickly connected to a customer support member from whom you can request your refund.

Note that ExpressVPN support is very responsive. Therefore, full refund of subscription fees occurs within the week following the complaint.

ExpressVPN, the best offer after the free trial

More expensive than the competition, ExpressVPN nevertheless strives to offer decreasing prices depending on the duration of the commitment:

• €12.58/month for 1 month, billed in US dollars ($12.95)
• €9.70/month for 6 months, billed once in US dollars ($59.95)
• €6.48/month for 1 year + month, billed once in US dollars ($99.95)

As the same 30-day guarantee applies to all the packages offered, we advise Internet users who wish to use a VPN daily to immediately subscribe to the 1 year + 3 months package, marketed at €6.48/ month instead of €12.58, i.e. a smoothed reduction over 15 months of 49% compared to the monthly offer.

On the other hand, if you wish to temporarily acquire a VPN for specific uses (travel abroad, for example), the monthly offer remains more economical. Simply remember to deactivate the tacit renewal of the subscription from your ExpressVPN online space > My account > Subscription > Deactivate automatic renewal.
