What is Celtx
Overview
Celtx is a cloud-based application for screenwriting, story development, and production planning. It provides script formatting, collaboration tools, and pre-production features for film, TV, and video projects.
The service is subscription-based and accessed via web and mobile platforms, with account management and billing handled through Celtx or the app stores depending on where you subscribed.
Primary uses
Writers and production teams use Celtx for scriptwriting, storyboards, and scheduling to centralise project work in the cloud.
Its collaborative features allow multiple contributors to work on scripts and production documents simultaneously.

For step-by-step details see Celtx's support article: How do I cancel?
Cancel via Google Play or App Store
- If you purchased through Google Play or the Apple App Store, cancel the subscription in that store - Celtx cannot cancel store purchases for you.
- Open the respective store app (Google Play or App Store), locate your subscriptions, and cancel from there.
- The subscription remains active until the end of the current billing period managed by the store.
Celtx explains that store purchases must be handled through the platform where the purchase was made: see the company legal/support pages for details.
What happens when you cancel
Access and billing
After cancellation you keep access to paid features for the remainder of the billing period you already paid for.
Your subscription will not renew after the current paid period ends, and no further charges will be made by Celtx for web subscriptions.
Data and projects
Your projects and account data remain in your Celtx account after cancelling; you can export or continue to view them according to your access level.
Export important files (scripts, storyboards, reports) before access changes or if you plan to stop using the service long-term.
Will I get a refund?
Website payments and the refund policy
Payments made to Celtx via the website are generally non-refundable, except as specifically described in the Sales Policy or as required by law.
Celtx states that "all fees are non-refundable except as required by law" - check the legal page for the official statement: Celtx legal.
Trials and app-store purchases
- Free trial: Celtx's trial does not require billing info and is never charged without explicit consent, so no refund is expected after trial expiry.
- App Store / Google Play purchases: Refunds must follow each store's refund policies; Celtx does not process those refunds directly.

Your consumer rights in India

Celtx's terms say fees are non-refundable except where required by law, so Indian consumers may have additional rights depending on the circumstance.
App store purchases and dispute routes

A frequent error is attempting to cancel a subscription on the Celtx website when the purchase was made via the App Store or Google Play.
Remember: store purchases must be cancelled through the store where the purchase occurred.
Assuming automatic refunds
Many users expect an automatic refund after cancelling; Celtx's stated policy is that website payments are non-refundable except as required by law.
