FAQ: About the ExpressVPN trial
Explore common questions about features, trials, and risk-free use
Is there an ExpressVPN free trial?
Yes, ExpressVPN offers a 7-day free trial on iOS and Android when you sign up through the app. For new users who subscribe on Android or directly through the website, ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee with the option to request a refund within 30 days.
Can I start the free VPN trial without a credit card?
The ExpressVPN 7-day free trial is available on Android and iOS. To activate it, you’ll need a valid payment method linked to your App Store or Google Play account.
Am I getting full access to all features with the trial VPN?
Yes, during the trial period, you can access and use all ExpressVPN features included with the subscription you select. Every plan includes 256-bit AES encryption, leak protection, a kill switch, and our speed-optimized Lightway protocol to keep your data secure and your connection fast.
How many devices can I connect during the trial and on which platforms?
It depends on your subscription: Basic supports 10, Advanced supports 12, and Pro supports 14 simultaneous connections. You can also protect more devices with ExpressVPN’s Aircove, a router that secures every device on your home network while counting it as a single connection.
Is ExpressVPN safe to use and legal in my country?
VPN use is legal in most countries. Still, a few countries ban or limit VPN use, so it's best to familiarize yourself with the laws in your country. Plus, any illegal activity remains illegal, even with a VPN. Always use VPNs within legal limits.
What is the difference between a free VPN trial and a money-back guarantee?
ExpressVPN offers a 7-day free trial when you sign up on iOS or Android. On iOS, billing is handled by Apple, and the 30-day money-back guarantee does not apply. On Android, new users can start with the 7-day free trial and still request a refund under the 30-day money-back guarantee. New users who subscribe through the ExpressVPN website are also eligible for the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Will using the trial VPN slow down my internet or affect streaming quality?
ExpressVPN’s Lightway protocol and 10 Gbps servers are optimized for speed, supporting fast, stable streaming and browsing whether you connect to a nearby server or across the globe.
How does ExpressVPN’s trial compare with a VPN free for iPhone?
Free VPNs often impose bandwidth limits, weaker encryption, and minimal privacy safeguards. ExpressVPN offers fast, stable connections, 256-bit AES encryption, and a verified no-logs policy. During your refund period, you experience the same premium protection trusted by millions—without the risks of free VPNs.
How do I claim a refund or cancel if I decide not to keep it?
First-time ExpressVPN customers can request a refund within 30 days by contacting 24/7 live chat support, available in multiple languages. Subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store are subject to Apple’s refund policy.
