How to purchase ExpressKeys via in-app subscription

When you subscribe to ExpressKeys directly within the macOS, iOS, or Android app, you’ll get access to a standalone ExpressKeys plan. You can choose between a 1-month and 1-year subscription, and a free trial is available for new users.

This subscription is managed through your app store account: either the Apple App Store on iOS and macOS or Google Play on Android. Note that subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play are not covered by the ExpressVPN 30-day money-back guarantee. Refunds are issued solely at the discretion of Apple Support or Google Play Support.

For full details on subscription terms, payment, and refunds, refer to our dedicated articles for Apple in-app purchases and Google Play subscriptions.

How to restore your existing ExpressKeys subscription

If you dismissed the account setup prompt, closed the app before completing it, or are setting up ExpressKeys on a new device linked to the same Apple Account (iOS and macOS) or Google Play account (Android) you originally subscribed with, you may be returned to the setup and subscription screens when opening the ExpressKeys app.

In this case, you do not need to purchase a new subscription; you can restore your existing purchase.

To do that, follow these steps on mobile and macOS:

1. Open the ExpressKeys app and skip through the welcome screens.
2. Select Create Account to open the Subscription screen.
3. Tap Restore Purchase. This tells the app store to check your purchase history and restore your subscription in the app.

You’ll see a confirmation that your subscription has been restored, and you can proceed with creating your account or signing in.
