A subscription is your ticket to access Everand, Scribd, and SlideShare — one subscription for all three products.

Have a few questions? We thought you might! We’ve answered some of the most common ones below. 

How do I subscribe?

You can find a helpful guide on how to subscribe here.

What are the benefits of having a subscription?

With a subscription, you’ll have access to titles and features across all three of Scribd, Inc.’s products, including:

  • Everand: read and listen to ebooks, audiobooks, and more
  • Scribd: download community-uploaded documents
  • SlideShare: download presentations and other professional content

Do you offer a free trial?

New subscribers are eligible for a free trial to check out all our premium features, including Everand’s extensive library and document downloads on Scribd and SlideShare. Users may encounter limits on how many documents may be downloaded from Scribd during their subscription trial period.

Once the trial period ends, your subscription will renew each month for as long as it remains active. You won’t be charged if you cancel before your trial period ends.

Will my subscription automatically renew?

Yes, your subscription will automatically renew when your free trial period expires, and you will be billed within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period for as long as your subscription remains active. Your subscription is a recurring payment that you can cancel anytime.

  • Your subscription automatically renews monthly unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
  • Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
  • Your subscription can be managed in your account page, and auto-renewal can be turned off at any time. 
  • We have in-depth instructions on how to cancel your subscription available here.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes, of course! After you cancel, you'll keep any remaining paid subscription time. When this time is up, your account will revert to its free features.

Please note: All subscriptions purchased through the App Store or Google Play are solely handled by their respective companies - their security policies prevent us from being able to cancel any charges on our subscribers' behalf. Subscriptions started through Google Play must be canceled through Google Play, while subscriptions started through our iPhone or iPad app using the App Store will need to be canceled through the App Store.

For details on how to cancel your subscription and information on managing additional payment options not mentioned here, please see our support article, "How do I cancel my subscription?"

Are authors being paid when I read books on Everand?
