ExpressVPN-specific things to know

ExpressVPN subscriptions can work differently depending on your plan or how you signed up. These tips cover common edge cases.

30-day money-back guarantee applies
If you cancel within 30 days of signing up, you can request a full refund through customer support or live chat.
Service continues until period ends
After cancelling, your VPN access continues until your current billing cycle expires. You won't lose access immediately.
Annual plans renew automatically
Even yearly subscriptions auto-renew unless you cancel. Set a calendar reminder before your renewal date.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.

1. Check who's billing you

Make sure ExpressVPN is charging you directly. If you signed up through an app store or reseller, you'll need to cancel through them instead.

2. Note your renewal date

Your service continues until your billing period ends. Cancel before the renewal date to avoid being charged for another cycle.

3. Deleting the app doesn't cancel

Removing the ExpressVPN app from your devices doesn't cancel your subscription. You'll still be charged until you properly cancel through your account.

Alternatives to cancelling your subscription

If cost is your concern, you might be able to downgrade or change billing cycles instead of cancelling completely.

Switch to a different plan

ExpressVPN doesn't offer different speed tiers, but you can change from annual to monthly billing if you want more flexibility.

Switch Your Billing Cycle

Switch from monthly to annual billing to reduce your per-month cost significantly.

Annual plans offer up to 49% savings compared to monthly billing.

Negotiate a Deal

ExpressVPN customer support may offer discounts or extended trial periods if you mention you're considering cancelling due to price.

Alternative ways to cancel ExpressVPN

If you can't cancel through your ExpressVPN account, you may need to go through app stores or live chat. The right option depends on how you're being billed.

Apple App Store

If you subscribed through the App Store on iPhone or iPad, you'll need to cancel through your Apple ID subscription settings.
