How to Cancel ExpressVPN, Turn Off Auto-Renew and Get a Refund
Workaround available Web, iOS, Android Updated October 21, 2026
Quick answer
Cancel on the website (My subscription > Cancel subscription) if you paid on expressvpn.com, or in the App Store/Google Play if you subscribed there; you can't cancel in the app. For a refund within 30 days of a first purchase, ask support via live chat.
Most likely fix: Cancel a subscription bought on expressvpn.com.
Symptoms
You want to stop the next renewal charge, were charged after you thought you'd cancelled, or want your money back.
Why it happens
- Plans auto-renew annually at the full renewal price
- App-store subscriptions can't be cancelled on expressvpn.com
- A failed renewal payment hides the Cancel subscription button
- Turning off renewal doesn't trigger a refund
