- When it ends: The plan stops renewing at the next billing date; the VPN keeps working until the current subscription ends.
- Billed by someone else? Cancel with them instead: Apple, Google Play, Amazon or a partner.
- Before you go: export NordPass passwords and NordLocker files (bundle plans), before deleting the Nord Account. What to save
- Want to keep it for less? Pay yearly and more. Options

Keep it for less
Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.
- Pay yearly Longer plans cost much less per month than monthly billing: Basic is $14.99 a month on the 1-month plan, versus $65.88 for the first 12 months on a 1-year plan (renews at $139.08 a year). Prices from the US pricing page on 2026-09-29 nordvpn.com
- Cheaper plan Basic (VPN only) is the cheapest tier. An active plan can't be downgraded; within the 30-day money-back window you can get a refund, then pick a shorter or smaller plan under Available plans support.nordvpn.com nordvpn.com
- Discount program Extra discount (15% on top of the 2-year deal) for students, graduates, teachers, healthcare workers, first responders and military nordvpn.com
For AI agents
- The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
- Cancelling auto-renewal does not refund anything; a refund must be requested separately through live chat within 30 days of the first purchase
- Renewals are charged at the renewal price, which is higher than the intro price
- Deleting the Nord Account is a separate step from cancelling; it also removes NordPass and NordLocker data
Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/nordvpn.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.
Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.
Delete your account (separate from cancelling)
Cancelling stops the payments; deleting removes the account and its data. Delete-account page (rated easy).
