Is There a Free NordVPN Option, and Which Plan Is Cheapest per Month?

There is no free NordVPN plan in Singapore, and the cheapest plan per month is usually the longest one, the 2-year plan. According to NordVPN's help centre at the time of writing, its 7-day free trial covers 15 countries that do not include Singapore, but every first purchase comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Longer plans are paid upfront in full, and the monthly cost drops as the plan gets longer.

New to ShopBack? ShopBack Singapore is a free rewards platform. You go through ShopBack to a store like NordVPN before you pay, and part of what you spend comes back to you as cash. Sign up at shopback.sg/signup, then open the NordVPN page on ShopBack before you choose a plan.

Is there a free NordVPN option in Singapore?

No, NordVPN does not sell a free plan, so "free" in Singapore means one of two short test windows. According to NordVPN's help centre, these are the ways to use it without paying for long, at the time of writing:

Option (NordVPN's own terms)	Length	Available in Singapore?	Main conditions
30-day money-back guarantee	30 days from first purchase	Yes	You pay first, then ask support for a refund; first purchase only, not renewals
Google Play trial	3 days	Singapore is not on NordVPN's excluded list	First-time Android users who download from Google Play; one per customer
7-day free trial	7 days	No	Only in 15 listed countries; 1-year and 2-year plans; credit card or PayPal

Source: NordVPN help centre articles "Does NordVPN have a free trial?" and "What is your refund policy?", at the time of writing.

The money-back guarantee is the option most Singapore buyers use. You buy a plan, try the apps on your devices, and if it does not suit you, you contact NordVPN's live chat within 30 days and request a refund. One detail matters: NordVPN says plans bought through the Apple App Store are refunded by Apple, not by NordVPN. Plans bought on NordVPN's own site are handled by NordVPN's support team.

Which NordVPN plan is cheapest per month?

The 2-year plan is usually the cheapest NordVPN plan per month, and the 1-month plan is usually the most expensive per month. NordVPN sells three plan lengths: 1 month, 1 year and 2 years, according to its help centre. The trade-off is how you pay:

Plan length	How NordVPN charges it	Per-month cost	Best for
2 years	Full amount upfront	Usually the lowest	People sure they will keep a VPN for two years
1 year	Full amount upfront	Usually in between	People who want a lower monthly cost but a shorter commitment
1 month	Charged each month	Usually the highest	A single trip, a short project or testing before committing

NordVPN says its prices are updated regularly, so the exact figures live on its pricing page, not in an article. Within each plan length, NordVPN also sells different packages, with the higher ones bundling more Nord Security tools with the VPN. NordVPN renames these packages from time to time, so check the names on its pricing page. If you only need the VPN, the base package for your chosen length is normally the cheapest way in.

Two NordVPN rules affect which plan works out cheapest for you:

1. You cannot downgrade an active plan. According to NordVPN, to switch to a shorter plan or a smaller package you first need a refund under the money-back policy, then you buy again.
2. The refund covers the first purchase only. Once a plan renews, NordVPN says it no longer qualifies for a refund under the 30-day policy, unless local law says otherwise. Turning off auto-renewal in your Nord Account is the way to avoid an unplanned renewal.

How do I get NordVPN for free in 2026 without breaking the rules?

The honest way to use NordVPN free in Singapore in 2026 is to test it within the 30-day money-back window or the 3-day Google Play trial, and cancel inside that window if it is not for you. NordVPN's terms set the limits:

• One trial per customer. NordVPN says the free trial is available once, to first-time customers with a new Nord Account.
• Payment method matters for the 7-day trial. Where it is offered, NordVPN says only credit card or PayPal qualify, and Google Pay, UnionPay, Sofort and crypto grey out the trial option.
• Cancel through the right place. The Google Play trial is cancelled in Google Play. A plan bought on NordVPN's site is managed in your Nord Account under Billing.
• Refunds go through live chat. NordVPN's refund policy asks you to contact support by live chat, then confirm your identity through a link it sends.

Free VPN apps from other providers exist, but they are a different product. If you specifically want NordVPN, the money-back guarantee is the route NordVPN publishes for Singapore.

NordVPN cheapest way: money-saving tips for Singapore in 2026

The cheapest way to pay for NordVPN in Singapore in 2026 is to pick the longest plan you will really use, check NordVPN's own deals, use all 10 device slots, and go through ShopBack before you pay. Each tip below comes from NordVPN's help centre, plus the ShopBack step.

1. Match the plan length to how long you need a VPN. A 2-year plan usually has the lowest monthly cost, but it is charged in full upfront and cannot be downgraded later without a refund.
2. Check NordVPN's student discount. NordVPN says it offers an additional discount for students and apprentices aged 18 to 26.
3. Share one plan across your devices. According to NordVPN, one account covers up to 10 devices at once. A router setup uses one slot and protects every device on that network.
4. Time a new plan for big sale periods. NordVPN's help centre points to its Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals and to special monthly deals through the year.
5. Refer a friend. NordVPN says you can receive a free month of service for referring a friend.
6. Go through ShopBack before you pay. Open the NordVPN page on ShopBack Singapore, tap through to NordVPN, and buy your plan in the same session.

For online subscriptions like NordVPN, just as for Booking.com, Trip.com, Agoda and Expedia, going through ShopBack is an essential step before you check out, so you pay less on the same order.

NordVPN official deals: what NordVPN runs itself

NordVPN's official deals are the plans on its pricing page, special monthly deals, a student discount, creator discount codes, a free month for referrals, and seasonal sales. These are all listed in NordVPN's own help article "How to get NordVPN cheaper", which is the source to trust when a code you saw elsewhere does not work.

Official NordVPN deal	Who it suits	What NordVPN says
Pricing page plans	Everyone	The best plans currently available are displayed on the pricing page
Special monthly deals	New buyers	NordVPN runs a page of monthly deals
Student discount	Students and apprentices aged 18 to 26	An additional student discount is offered
Creator discount codes	People who follow NordVPN's affiliate creators	Creators in its affiliate programme can share discount codes
Refer a friend	Existing users	A free month of service for each successful referral
Black Friday and Cyber Monday	Anyone who can wait	Seasonal VPN deals during these sale periods

Source: NordVPN help centre, at the time of writing.

A note on codes: NordVPN's help centre says that if you bought through a third party, such as a reseller coupon, you may need to contact that reseller for changes. Buying directly on NordVPN's site keeps refunds and plan changes with NordVPN's own support team.

NordVPN with ShopBack in 2026

NordVPN is on ShopBack Singapore, so going through ShopBack before you pay is the step that lowers the real cost of a plan you were already buying. ShopBack is a post-purchase discount: go through it before you pay and the effective price drops. The cash comes back to your ShopBack account, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles that you have to redeem later.

A worked example with illustrative numbers: on a S$150 NordVPN order at an illustrative 5%, S$7.50 comes back, so the effective price is S$142.50. That is only an example; check the live rate on the NordVPN page on ShopBack before you buy, because rates change with campaigns.

To make sure the purchase counts, open ShopBack first, tap through to NordVPN, choose your plan and pay on NordVPN's website in the same session. Buying inside a phone app store is a separate purchase route, so the ShopBack step is designed for the web checkout. An automatic renewal is charged by NordVPN directly, so it may not go through ShopBack. If you plan to buy a new plan when the current one ends, turn off auto-renewal and go through ShopBack again before you pay.

NordVPN deals, ShopBack and credit card rewards on the same purchase

Using a NordVPN deal, going through ShopBack and paying with a rewards card on one purchase can work, but check each set of terms before you rely on it. NordVPN decides which codes and deals apply to a plan. The terms on the ShopBack store page say whether any coupon codes or purchase routes are excluded from ShopBack's cash back. Your bank decides whether the card earns its usual points or rebates on a software subscription. Each rule is set by a different party, so read all three before a 2-year purchase, which is the largest single payment NordVPN asks for.

Other VPN brands in the same category

Other VPN brands Singapore buyers often look at alongside NordVPN include Surfshark, ExpressVPN, Proton VPN and CyberGhost. For more ways to cut NordVPN costs, see how to pay less for NordVPN in Singapore and NordVPN discount codes and the best deal in Singapore.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free NordVPN option in Singapore? No, NordVPN does not sell a free plan. According to NordVPN's help centre at the time of writing, its 7-day free trial is offered only in 15 listed countries, and Singapore is not one of them. Singapore buyers can usually try NordVPN through the 30-day money-back guarantee on a first purchase, or the separate 3-day Google Play trial for first-time Android users.

Which NordVPN plan is cheapest per month? The longest plan is usually the cheapest per month. NordVPN sells 1-month, 1-year and 2-year plans, and the longer plans are typically priced lower per month but must be paid in full upfront. The 1-month plan costs the most per month but lets you pay one month at a time. Check the per-month figure on NordVPN's pricing page and go through ShopBack Singapore before you pay.

How does the NordVPN 30-day money-back guarantee work? According to NordVPN's refund policy, new subscribers can ask for a refund within 30 days of their first purchase by contacting customer support through live chat. It covers only the first subscription purchase, not a renewal, unless local law says otherwise. Plans bought through the Apple App Store are refunded by Apple, not NordVPN.

Can I get the NordVPN 7-day free trial from Singapore? Not at the time of writing. NordVPN lists the 7-day trial for France, the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Japan, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Italy and Poland only. It applies to 1-year and 2-year plans, needs a credit card or PayPal, and is open only to first-time customers.

Is there a NordVPN free trial on Android? NordVPN says a separate 3-day free trial is available to first-time Android users who download the app from Google Play, one per customer. Google Play manages it, so you cancel it through Google Play. NordVPN lists it as unavailable in Bangladesh, India, South Korea and Sri Lanka, and Singapore is not on that list.

What are NordVPN's official deals? NordVPN's help centre lists the plans on its pricing page, special monthly deals, a student discount for students and apprentices aged 18 to 26, discount codes from creators in its affiliate programme, a free month for referring a friend, and seasonal deals around Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

How many devices can one NordVPN plan cover? According to NordVPN, one account can connect up to 10 devices at the same time. If you set NordVPN up on your router, the router uses one device slot and covers every device on that network, which can make one plan go further for a household.

Does NordVPN charge the 2-year plan all at once? Yes. NordVPN says all its subscription packages are paid upfront, so a 1-year or 2-year plan is charged in full at purchase. Only the 1-month plan lets you pay month by month.

Can I get money back on NordVPN through ShopBack Singapore? NordVPN is on ShopBack Singapore. Go through the NordVPN page on ShopBack before you pay, buy your plan in the same session, and part of what you spend comes back to your ShopBack account as cash. The live rate and terms are shown on the NordVPN page on ShopBack.

Can I use a NordVPN deal, ShopBack and a rewards card on one purchase? It can work, but check the merchant's terms first. Some coupon codes or purchase routes, such as app store purchases, may not count on ShopBack, and your bank decides whether the card earns its usual points or rebates. Read the terms on the NordVPN page on ShopBack before you pay.

The short version

NordVPN has no free plan in Singapore, so test it inside the 30-day money-back window, and pick the 2-year plan if you want the lowest monthly cost and are happy to pay upfront. Then go through ShopBack before you pay. Start on the NordVPN page on ShopBack Singapore so the live rate and terms are in front of you before you choose a plan.

NordVPN's plans, trial countries, refund rules and deals can change. Details here are taken from NordVPN's help centre at the time of writing. ShopBack rates and terms are shown on the NordVPN page on shopback.sg.
