How does auto-renewal work?

Auto-renewal means that a subscription automatically renews at the end of its current billing term. By default, auto-renewal is turned on for supported payment methods, such as credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.

If your current subscription is set to auto-renew, you will be charged again when the subscription expires, unless you cancel it before the renewal date by following the steps in our guide to canceling your ExpressVPN subscription.

If auto-renewal is canceled, you can continue using the services linked to your ExpressVPN subscription until the end of your current billing term. After that, your access will be suspended until you make a manual renewal payment.

Note: When you first subscribe, your initial and renewal price and your renewal frequency will be clearly disclosed at checkout, immediately above the subscribe button. When you sign up for a 12-month subscription or 2-year offer, you may receive a special introductory discount applicable to the first period only. After this initial term, your plan renews at the rate disclosed upon checkout. The renewal rate is subject to change with advance notice to you.

How to check your subscription’s auto-renewal status

Note: This guide applies to subscriptions purchased through the ExpressVPN website. If you purchased your subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play, you’ll need to check the status of your automatic renewal through your app store account. For more information, check our guides to iOS in-app purchases and Play Store in-app purchases.

To see if auto-renewal is enabled or disabled:

Go to the My subscription page in your ExpressVPN+ dashboard.
- If prompted, enter your email address and click Send Code.
- Enter the verification code and click Continue.
Check the Automatic renewal status.
- ON means that auto-renewal is enabled for your subscription.
- OFF means that auto-renewal is disabled for your subscription.

How to check upcoming auto-renewals

Note: This guide applies to subscriptions purchased through the ExpressVPN website. If you purchased your subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play, you’ll need to check upcoming renewals through your app store account. For more information, check our guides to iOS in-app purchases and Play Store in-app purchases.

If auto-renewal is enabled for your subscription, you can check upcoming charges by looking at the text under Subscription ID.

Your payment method will automatically be charged on the specified billing term. After that, renewals continue automatically until you cancel. Monthly plans renew automatically on the same date each month, yearly plans automatically renew on the same date once per year, and 2-year offers automatically renew yearly at the end of the initial 2-year period.
