Does Meta Verified auto-renew?

Yes. Meta Verified is a **monthly subscription that renews automatically** at $11.99/month (web) or $14.99/month (in-app) for the Standard tier. You'll keep getting charged every month until you cancel through the channel you used to sign up, web, App Store or Google Play.

Is there a free trial for Meta Verified?

Meta Verified doesn't offer a traditional free trial, but new subscribers get a **14-day money-back guarantee**, effectively a paid trial. If you cancel and request a refund within 14 days of your first charge, Meta will refund the month. The badge and benefits are removed once the refund is processed.

What happens if I cancel Meta Verified, do I lose my badge straight away?

If you cancelled through the **web**, your badge and paid benefits normally remain until the end of the paid period (up to ~1 month). If you cancelled via the **App Store or Google Play**, benefits may be removed immediately depending on the store's policy. Either way you won't be charged again at the next renewal date.

Meta Verified support isn't responding, what can I do?

Many subscribers report Meta Verified 'priority support' replies with templated denials and says it can't escalate Instagram or Facebook account issues. If you've been charged and ignored: (1) re-open the support chat citing the **14-day money-back guarantee** in writing; (2) dispute the charge with your card issuer (Section 75 in the UK, chargeback in the US/EU); (3) for serious account loss, users have reported small-claims court as the only reliable lever.

Why is my Meta Verified more expensive in the app than on the web?

Because Apple and Google charge a commission on in-app purchases, which Meta passes on to you. Standard is **$11.99/month on the web** and **$14.99/month in-app**, same product, $3 difference. Cancel the in-app one and re-subscribe via browser if you want the lower price (note this restarts the verification process).

REFUND GUIDE

How to Get a Meta Verified Refund in 14 Days.

Inside 14 days their own policy is on your side; statutory cooling-off rights may stack on top. Outside it, you've still got tools, a clear email, a card-issuer chargeback, the lot. Here's the playbook for Meta Verified.

The short answer

Meta Verified offers a 14-day satisfaction-based money-back guarantee for new subscribers who sign up directly. Outside that window, Meta does not pro-rate refunds for mid-period cancellations unless required by law or because verification failed. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, refunds are governed by Apple's or Google's policies, not Meta's. Cancel via web at least 24 hours before renewal to avoid the next charge; your badge typically stays for the remainder of the paid period (up to a month).

What Meta Verified actually says

“Meta is now offering a 14-day money back guarantee on a Meta Verified subscription if you're not totally satisfied with the product.”

How long does a Meta Verified refund take?

Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.

Note Meta Verified’s own policy works on a 14-day window, ask inside it and the request is routine; outside it you’re relying on goodwill or statutory rights.
