Examined Sep 25, 2026 Renews at $11.99 a month 30 days on the web, 7 in the app Everand's free trial is 30 days if you sign up on the website and 7 days if you sign up in an app, it renews at $11.99 a month, and cancelling during the trial ends your access that minute.
The homepage says it in two lines: “Read free for 30 days” and “From $11.99/month after trial. Cancel anytime.” The help center's trial article adds the part the homepage leaves out. The 30 days apply if you subscribed on the Everand website; it is “7 days if you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play.” Everand is a service of Scribd, Inc., the name on your card statement; the subscription does not include Scribd or Slideshare.
What pays what
| You, subscribing on the Everand website | 30 days free, 1 unlock |
|---|---|
| You, subscribing through the App Store or Google Play | 7 days free, 1 unlock |
| Standard, after the trial: 1 unlock a month | $11.99 a month |
| Plus, after the trial: 3 unlocks a month | $16.99 a month |
| Deluxe, after the trial: 5 unlocks a month | $28.99 a month |
| Cancelling partway through a paid month | No refund, access to the end of the period |
An unlock is one audiobook or ebook from the full catalog, yours to read for as long as you stay subscribed; a smaller selection, including Everand Originals and podcasts, needs no unlock. Over a year, twelve months at $11.99 is $143.88, twelve at $16.99 is $203.88 and twelve at $28.99 is $347.88. Unused unlocks roll over for up to six months and then expire.
Do this, in this order
- Sign up on everand.com, not in the app. The trial article is explicit that the length depends on where you signed up: 30 days on the website, 7 days through the App Store or Google Play. You will need a payment method, and “Some payment methods show a temporary authorization or pending charge when you start your trial.” The article calls it a hold, not a charge.
- Open account settings and write down the trial end date. The Subscription section shows the trial end date and the next billing date. Everand says it will email you before the end, but the rule is yours to keep: “Your trial renews automatically into a paid subscription unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.” No page names a time of day, so treat the day before as the deadline.
- Spend the unlock, then read. “During your trial, you get 1 unlock to use on any book in the catalog, regardless of which plan you selected.”
- Cancel from the place you signed up, at least 24 hours before the end. Web sign-ups cancel from the Subscription section of account settings. If Apple bills you, the cancellation article says to cancel through your Apple account, because cancelling on the Everand website will not stop those charges; the same goes for Google Play.
- If you stay, know the two refund rules. Everand considers refunds only for charges within the last 30 days and only in listed cases, such as a charge for a month you did not use at all. “Partial refunds. We don't offer partial refunds.” A cancelled paid plan runs to the end of the period; unused unlocks expire with it.
All fees and charges are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits, except as expressly set forth in our Refund Policy
The agreement, updated November 10, 2025, repeats it in the cancellation section: Everand will not refund subscription fees, in full or in part, when a subscription is cancelled. The refund article's exceptions are technical issues, defective content, fraud, a payment error and unused subscription time.
What Everand does not publish, and where its pages disagree
Who gets a second trial. The trial article says “One trial per account.” and, in the same breath, that trials are available to new and returning subscribers who have not used one recently. The Subscriber Agreement says trials are only for users who have not previously completed a Free Trial. No page says how long recently is. If you have had one before, do not count on another.
A referral program or sign-up bonus. None appears on the homepage, in the Subscriber Agreement, in the Global Terms of Use or in any of the help articles we read. The agreement does govern promo codes: “Only one (1) Promo Code may be redeemed per household/per account/per promotion. Promo Codes are not transferable and are not redeemable for cash.” And “Free Trials may not be combined with any other offer.”
The price can rise, with notice. The agreement reserves the right to change subscription fees at any time. If the recurring fee rises above what you were quoted, Everand says it will notify you before charging the new amount at a renewal, and you will have a chance to cancel; stay silent and the new fee applies from the next billing period.
A refund right that stops at the border. “If you're in the EU or UK, you have a legal right to withdraw from your subscription within 14 days of purchase and receive a full refund.” No equivalent is offered to subscribers in the United States; for them the rules are the ones above.
Is it worth your time?
If you want one particular book or audiobook this month, yes: sign up on the website, take the 30 days and the one unlock, and set a reminder for two days before the end date in your account settings. The catalog is the same on every plan, so Standard at $11.99 is the right default if you stay. A trial that costs nothing and needs no code is a fair deal for a careful reader.
Think twice if you would sign up from your phone, where the same trial lasts 7 days, or if you tend to forget subscriptions. A forgotten Standard plan costs $143.88 over twelve months, no part of a used month comes back, and Everand cannot refund any charge older than 30 days. And if you cancel early to be safe, remember that with Everand the trial ends the moment you do.
