How to Get a 7-day NordVPN Free Trial

It’s not possible to use NordVPN completely free forever. However, NordVPN does offer a 7-day free trial to new Android subscribers.

NordVPN also operates a no-questions-asked refund policy. If you don’t own an Android device, you can still use NordVPN for free by subscribing to NordVPN and asking for your money back within 30 days. However, this does not apply if you subscribe to NordVPN via the Apple App Store.

If you don’t cancel your Android free trial, you can also combine the 7-day free trial with the money-back guarantee to use NordVPN 100% for free for up to 37 days.

NordVPN’s 7-day free trial is only available if you sign up on an Android device via the Google Play Store.

However, once you’ve signed in on Android, you can use your free trial account on any device for 7 days. NordVPN allows 10 simultaneous connections, which means you can use the VPN for free on all your other devices at once.

To get NordVPN’s free trial, follow the steps below.

1. Go to the Google Play Store and download the NordVPN Android app to your smartphone or tablet.

   

2. Once installed, open the NordVPN app and tap Sign up. Enter your email address. You won’t be asked to submit payment details to sign up for the free trial, but the payment method stored in your Google Play account will be used to charge you once the seven-day trial period has ended.

   

3. Once your account has been created, you will see an automatic offer for a 7-day free trial. Tap Try for $0.00 or Start your free week.

   

4. You will now have full access to NordVPN for one week before being charged. To avoid being charged for a NordVPN subscription at the end of your free trial, head to your Google Account and select Payments and subscriptions. Tap your NordVPN subscription.

   

5. Select Cancel subscription at the bottom of the window and then confirm that you wish to cancel your NordVPN subscription. We recommend doing this as soon as you sign up, as you can still use NordVPN for the rest of the trial period and you won’t risk forgetting to cancel.

   

NordVPN doesn’t offer a 100% free trial for 30 days, but it does offer a risk-free money-back guarantee once you subscribe. This is also the easiest way to get NordVPN for free if you don’t have an Android device.

This method involves paying for a subscription upfront, but you’re guaranteed 100% of your money back — just as long as you ask for it within the 30-day refund window.

You can do this on any device, but this refund policy does not apply if you subscribe to NordVPN via the Apple App Store.

To get NordVPN for free for 30 days, follow these steps:

1. Subscribe to NordVPN via the NordVPN Website

Go to NordVPN’s website and select the Get NordVPN button. This will take you to the subscription page.

Select a subscription plan, create an account, and enter your payment details. To reduce the upfront cost, we recommend signing up to the 1-month ‘Basic Plan’.

2. Download NordVPN & Login

Go to the download page of the NordVPN website and download the NordVPN app onto the device of your choice. Follow the installation prompts.

Open the NordVPN app and log in with your account details. You are now able to use NordVPN unrestricted for 30 days on up to 10 devices simultaneously, including NordVPN’s app for Windows, macOS, Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, and more.

3. Cancel Your Subscription & Get a Full Refund

Within 30 days of beginning your NordVPN subscription, contact NordVPN’s customer support. The best method is through live chat on NordVPN’s website, which runs 24/7. You can find the chat bubble in the bottom right corner of the website’s contact page.

Inform the NordVPN chatbot that you would like a refund. You will then be prompted to login to your NordVPN account where you can manage your subscription and request your refund. You will receive your refund within 5-10 business days.

You can use NordVPN for free by taking advantage of its 100% free trial or its money-back guarantee. There are no differences between these two methods when it comes to NordVPN’s functionality. You can stream, torrent, and use as much data as you want.

Although they have the same outcome, there are some important differences between these two methods:

Free Trial

NordVPN’s free trial is only available when signing up on Android, and lasts for just 7 days. Although it requires a valid payment method (stored in your Google Play Store account), the free trial doesn’t take any payment until the trial period is over.

Money-Back Guarantee

NordVPN’s money-back guarantee is available on all devices and lasts for 30 days. You will have to pay the $12.99 subscription fee upfront, but you’re guaranteed a refund if you cancel within 30 days.

Here is a quick summary of the pros and cons to using NordVPN’s free trial or money-back guarantee:

Pros	Cons
Free use of a top VPN for up to 30 days	Payment details required
No data cap or restrictions	Android or tablet required for free trial
Works with Netflix, Max, Hulu & more	PayPal not accepted
Fast speeds with no throttling	Unable to bypass censorship
Access to full suite of apps
Torrenting is allowed

In our estimation, NordVPN ranks #4 for the best VPN free trials. The best is CyberGhost as you don’t require any payment details at all, you can sign up via desktop or mobile, and it has an extended 45-day money-back refund guarantee.
