PIA in itself does not offer a free option. It’s not that there is a version with fewer options that you can just download and use. You will always have to pay for your subscription. That does not alter the fact that there are some possibilities to use the service for free. For example, PIA regularly offers promotions, whereby you can use the service for free for a certain period of time. An annual subscription of which the first two months are free is an example of this. So you can at least work with PIA for free for a certain period of time. There is also the 7-day money-back option. After a week you can still get out of your contract and therefore get your money back. In that case, you could have worked with PIA for free for at least seven days. However, you cannot call this a free option, of course. It is important to make this distinction.
