All plans are available free of charge for a 1 month period, so you can fully evaluate our service before committing.

You can cancel your service any time. However, no refunds are offered for any unused portion of time in a billing period.

EU VAT
In order to comply with the EU's 2015 rules on the supply of electronic services, Blogtrottr is obliged to charge VAT on invoices to EU consumers, in accordance with the local VAT rate of the member state where the customer belongs.
EU businesses who supply a VAT number will be charged no VAT, as it will be for them to account for the tax under the EU VAT reverse charge mechanism.
Blogtrottr currently trades below the UK VAT threshold, and thus no VAT will be added for UK customers.
