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

    1. Open any browser and go to My subscription in your ExpressVPN account
