Trend Micro VPN Proxy One free trial: length, terms and payment details

The Trend Micro VPN Proxy One free trial lasts 7 days, and we found it only in the app listing for iOS in the App Store. There is no free plan: you can download the app without paying, but using the VPN beyond a week without a subscription will not work.

What is known about the terms

Whether a bank card is required for the trial and what happens on the eighth day, Trend Micro does not say. For the paid version the company promises unlimited traffic with no speed limits, but it does not state whether the trial has any limits. The paid VPN costs $29.95 per year and covers one device. The subscription renews automatically every year by default, and after the first term it renews at the renewal price, which the company does not announce in advance. If you started the trial through the App Store, check the subscription settings on your iPhone to see when the first charge will happen.

The refund catch

Trend Micro has a 30-day money-back guarantee, but only for purchases in the company's official online stores. The App Store is not one of them, so a subscription taken out after the trial on an iPhone is not covered by this guarantee. If you want to keep your right to a refund, buy on the Trend Micro website; details are in our breakdown of the refund policy.

What to compare it with

The McAfee VPN free trial lasts 30 days, but a card is required, the VPN in the trial version is limited to 500 MB per month, and money is charged automatically once it ends. If you would rather not enter card details at all, take a look at VPNs with a trial that requires no card.
