Cancellation Perplexity: Easy Method
What is Perplexity
Perplexity is an AI-powered search and question-answering service that combines web sources, large language models, and citation tools to provide concise answers, research assistance, and generative features such as image and video creation. It is offered as a free tier plus paid "Pro" options for heavier or commercial use, with separate subscriptions available through the Perplexity web site, Apple App Store, and Google Play Store.
How to cancel Perplexity
- On the web: Sign in at Perplexity Help - Canceling a subscription, go to Settings → “Manage Subscription” under Perplexity Pro, then choose “Cancel subscription.” Your service continues until the end of the current billing cycle.
- On iOS (App Store): Open the App Store → tap your profile icon → Subscriptions → select “Perplexity - Ask Anything” → Cancel subscription. See Perplexity Help - Canceling a subscription for reference.
- On Android (Google Play): Open the Google Play app → Payments & subscriptions → select “Perplexity - Ask Anything” → Cancel subscription. See Perplexity Help - Canceling a subscription.
- Important: Deleting your Perplexity account does NOT automatically cancel your paid subscription. You must cancel via the web, App Store, or Google Play as applicable.
What happens when you cancel
When you cancel a Perplexity subscription, your paid access remains active until the end of the current billing period; you will not be billed for the next cycle. Your account and any data associated with it (history, uploads, settings) generally remain available according to Perplexity’s data and account retention policies, but deleting an account is a separate action and does not substitute for canceling a subscription. If you cancel through a platform (App Store/Google Play), account-level settings may persist on Perplexity’s site and you should verify access and data retention there.
Will I get a refund?
Perplexity’s published refund windows for customers in Canada are: monthly subscriptions - refunds can be requested up to 24 hours after purchase; annual subscriptions - full refunds are available only within 72 hours of purchase and reportedly no exceptions are made after that window. Platform purchases (App Store/Google Play) are also subject to the store’s refund policies, which may differ from Perplexity’s web policy. If you believe you were billed in error, billed after cancellation, or experienced misleading terms, document the issue and request a refund promptly; disputes may require escalation to the platform (if purchased there) or to consumer protection authorities if Perplexity declines a refund you consider unfair.
Perplexity plans and pricing
| Plan | Price | Period | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perplexity Pro (Individual) | C$25.00 per month or C$300 per year (approx.) | Monthly/Annual | Unlimited Pro searches, file uploads, image/video generation, advanced AI models |
| Perplexity Pro (via Perplexity web pricing) | Approximately C$27.00 per month (USD $20 → CAD ≈ C$27) | Monthly | Same Pro features via web |
| Education Pro (Individual) | C$6.75 per month (USD $4.99 → CAD ≈ C$6.75 with student verification) | Monthly | All Pro features plus Study Mode, extra citations, education discounts |
Notes: App Store pricing in Canada has been listed as C$25/mo or C$249/yr, while Perplexity’s official web pricing is shown in USD (USD $20/mo or USD $200/yr, which converts to roughly C$27/mo or C$270/yr). Prices and exchange-rate conversions are approximate and subject to change.
Your consumer rights in Canada
Canadian consumer-protection frameworks generally offer recourse against misleading practices or unconscionable terms, and provinces may provide additional protections for digital subscriptions. Perplexity’s strict published refund windows (24 hours for monthly, 72 hours for annual) could be challenged if a business practice is unfair or deceptive in specific circumstances. Enforcement and remedies depend on provincial laws and the specific facts of a complaint; users who believe they were misled or improperly charged should document the facts, seek a refund promptly, and consider filing complaints with regional consumer protection agencies or with the Competition Bureau if necessary.
Customer experiences
Reviews of Perplexity in Canada are mixed. Positive feedback (for example, on GetApp) highlights Perplexity as a powerful daily research tool with a clean interface and the ability to choose different AI models, calling it factual, concise, and useful for quick answers. Negative reports (for example, on Trustpilot and the BBB) focus on difficulties with cancellation, unexpected or continued billing after cancellation, and limited or unsatisfactory customer support when seeking refunds, particularly for annual plans outside the narrow refund window. These differing experiences suggest that the cancellation process itself is straightforward when done through the correct channel, but issues can arise around refunds and billing disputes.
Documentation checklist
- Account email and username; subscription receipt or invoice showing purchase date and amount.
- Screenshots of subscription settings showing active/cancelled status and timestamps.
- Records of cancellation attempts (screenshots or confirmations) and dates/times.
- Copies of correspondence with Perplexity support, App Store, or Google Play about billing or refunds.
- Bank or card statements showing the charge(s) in question.
Common mistakes
Users commonly assume that deleting their Perplexity account cancels the paid subscription; it does not. Another frequent mistake is canceling on the wrong platform (for example, canceling a web subscription in the App Store or vice versa) - refunds and cancellations are handled by the platform where the purchase was made. Waiting too long to request a refund is another error: Perplexity’s stated windows are short (24 hours for monthly, 72 hours for annual), so delayed requests are often declined. Finally, failing to capture proof of cancellation or billing can make disputes harder to resolve.
Comparative recap
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Web (Perplexity account) | Refund requests accepted per Perplexity policy: monthly within 24 hours, annual within 72 hours; web purchases follow Perplexity’s stated windows. | Medium - cancellation via Settings is straightforward, but some users report billing or refund disputes. |
| iOS (App Store) | Refunds governed by App Store policies; you must request via Apple. Perplexity’s refund windows still describe their policy for direct sales. | Low - managed through the App Store interface, but outcomes depend on Apple’s review and store policies. |
| Android (Google Play) | Refunds governed by Google Play policies; you must request via Google Play. Perplexity’s direct-policy windows apply to web purchases. | Low - cancellation via Google Play is straightforward; refund decisions follow Google’s rules. |
After cancelling
After you cancel, confirm that your subscription status shows as cancelled and retain copies of cancellation confirmations and final invoices. If you need to request a refund or dispute a charge, use Perplexity’s help pages: Canceling a subscription and Refunds. If you purchased through the App Store or Google Play, also check and follow the store’s refund process. For unresolved disputes you believe involve misleading terms or unfair practices, consider filing a complaint with Canadian authorities such as the Competition Bureau or your provincial consumer protection office.
