Custom subdomains are available for non-paying users too. You just need to create a free account.

That isn't true for ngrok2. Ngrok 1 allowed for this but has been sunset.

It's absolutely possible. Admittedly I'm still running 2.1.18, but I just tested it there and it still works.

edit: Just in case, I updated to 2.2.4 (newest) and it's still possible to use custom subdomains.

This doesn't work. I just checked.

Tunnel session failed: Only paid plans may bind custom subdomains. Failed to bind the custom subdomain 'blahblahblah' for the account xxx

Strange. Did you have the account back when it was still possible? They may have grandfathered the older accounts in.
