VPN free trials don't come around very often, especially ones from big name providers. But ExpressVPN is giving you the chance to try out its software for 7 days at no cost.
At the time of writing, the 7-day free trial is available globally, including the U.S. and the UK, but there has been reports of the offer not appearing for some people.
It's the first time that this best VPN contender has tested a free trial across all plans and devices, having previously only offered them on iOS and Android.
Unlike with 30-day money-back guarantees, no money is taken beforehand and you only have to pay once the 7-day free trial is over. This makes it one of the best VPN free trials, although you do need to enter your card details when signing up.
ExpressVPN's 30-day money-back guarantee still applies to anyone who takes advantage of the 7-day free trial. If you've paid your money but decide ExpressVPN isn't for you, simply contact ExpressVPN for a full refund.
Is ExpressVPN any good?
ExpressVPN sits at number three on our best VPN list and is one of the best VPNs for beginners.
Protecting your privacy is something ExpressVPN prides itself on and it is the first leading VPN provider to implement ML-KEM post-quantum encryption across all devices.
ExpressVPN's own in-house VPN protocol Lightway has also just been remade in Rust, allowing for even faster speeds and greater security. It's one of the fastest VPNs and best streaming VPNs we've tested.
ExpressVPN did fall behind its competitors in terms of features offered but it's been clawing back lost ground of late. New introductions such as Identity Defender, Dedicated IP, and Credit Scanner have left us feeling that ExpressVPN has become a bargain.
Its 3,000+ strong server fleet is smaller than rivals such as NordVPN and Proton VPN, but don't be fooled. ExpressVPN prioritizes quality over quantity and all of its servers provide rock solid performance. It also obfuscates all its servers as standard. This is where the fact you're using a VPN is hidden and automatically enabling this is something unique to ExpressVPN.
You can protect 8 devices on one plan. This is usually enough for most people but if you require protection for a wide range of devices, then Surfshark and its unlimited connections policy might be better suited.
Overall, ExpressVPN is a seriously powerful VPN – and you no longer need to take our word for it. Simply subscribe to its 7-day free trial and try out ExpressVPN for yourself – but be quick, it launched in January and we're not sure how long it'll stick around.
