Cancellation Screencastify: Easy Method
What is Screencastify
Screencastify is a browser‑based screen recording and video‑editing tool that lets users capture their screen, webcam, and microphone, then save or export recordings to Google Drive and other destinations. It is commonly used in education and for quick tutorials, offering basic editing, drawing tools, and integration with Chrome.
How to cancel Screencastify
There are a few ways to stop future billing or request full cancellation. The primary methods are to disable auto‑renew in your account or to contact Screencastify support if you need cancellation outside the active subscription term. If your organization uses a license manager, the license manager follows the same steps via the Subscription page.
- Via the Web: Sign in at Screencastify, go to My Account > Billing, then click "Cancel Subscription" to disable auto‑renew so the subscription will not renew at the end of the current term. This prevents future charges but does not necessarily delete the account. For full cancellation outside the current term, submit a support ticket via Screencastify support. See Screencastify cancellation help.
- Via License Manager: License managers should use the Subscription page and confirm "Yes, Cancel" to stop auto‑renew, or submit a support ticket for cancellation outside the term. See license manager cancellation instructions.
- Via App Store / Google Play: Screencastify documentation does not provide explicit steps for App Store or Google Play cancellations; the official guidance points to web cancellation or support ticket submission. For store purchases, you may need to check your Apple or Google account subscriptions and the respective store refund policies. See the refunds article: Screencastify refund policy.
What happens when you cancel
When you disable auto‑renew via your Screencastify account, the subscription remains active until the end of the paid term; you retain access to the paid features through that date. Disabling auto‑renew prevents future billing but does not automatically delete your account or necessarily remove any stored recordings or settings. If you request full cancellation via support, communicate whether you also want account data deleted; data removal may be subject to separate policies and timelines.
Will I get a refund?
Screencastify’s stated policy is that they do not provide refunds - neither full nor prorated - for subscriptions. Users may disable auto‑renew to avoid future charges but, per Screencastify documentation, are not entitled to reimbursement. Screencastify’s help articles do not acknowledge a statutory 14‑day cooling‑off period or similar consumer refund entitlements in the Canadian context; if you believe a statutory right applies, you should raise it with Screencastify and, if necessary, a consumer protection body.
Screencastify plans and pricing
| Plan | Price (approx.) | Period | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter (annual) | approx. C$244.40/year | Annual | Unlimited videos, 60 min recording, remove watermark, basic editing |
| Estimated Starter (monthly) | approx. C$20/month | Monthly equivalent | Same as annual Starter, prorated |
Your consumer rights in Canada
Canadian consumer protection laws may provide statutory rights for digital subscription purchases, including cooling‑off periods or disclosure requirements; however, Screencastify’s published policies do not expressly acknowledge these rights. If you are in Canada and believe your statutory rights apply (for example, under provincial consumer protection statutes), consider contacting the Competition Bureau or your provincial consumer protection office for guidance. Bringing documentation and clear timelines will help any inquiry or complaint you pursue.
Customer experiences
Public reviews show a mix of positive and negative experiences. Many users (for example on Capterra) praise Screencastify for its simplicity, low cost, ease of browser integration, drawing tools, and Google Drive export - features that make quick instructional videos straightforward. Other reviewers report reliability problems over time, including glitches or failures to record, and some on review sites have accused the company of restrictive or deceptive practices when handling licenses and access. These mixed reports suggest that while the product can be effective for basic use, issues can occur and customers sometimes face difficulties with billing or access.
Documentation checklist
- Account email and username used for the Screencastify subscription
- Order confirmation, receipt, or invoice showing subscription dates and payments
- Subscription ID or billing reference (if available)
- Screenshots of your My Account > Billing page showing current status and any "Cancel Subscription" actions
- Copies of support ticket submissions, responses, and dates of communication
- If sending written notice, a copy of the registered mail dispatch receipt and tracking number
Common mistakes
A frequent error is assuming that clicking "Cancel Subscription" immediately removes access and deletes your account. In reality, disabling auto‑renew typically preserves access until the paid term ends; you must request account deletion separately if desired. Another common mistake is expecting a refund after cancelling mid‑term - Screencastify’s policy states refunds are not provided. Users who purchased through Apple or Google sometimes attempt cancellation only in the Screencastify web interface; for store‑mediated purchases you should also check your Apple or Google subscription settings and their refund procedures. Finally, many customers forget to keep documentation (receipts, confirmation screenshots) which makes disputes harder to resolve.
Comparative recap
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Web: My Account > Billing → Cancel Subscription | No (per Screencastify policy) | Easy |
| Support ticket (request full cancellation outside term) | No (per Screencastify policy) | Moderate |
| App Store / Google Play purchases | Store refund policy may apply; Screencastify does not document refunds for store sales | Varies (depends on store) |
After cancelling
After disabling auto‑renew or confirming cancellation with support, keep copies of all confirmations and continue to monitor your billing statements to ensure charges stop at the next renewal date. If you need proof of a written cancellation request, send a registered letter (for proof of delivery) to Screencastify’s business address and retain the receipt.
