What happens when you cancel
Access and service period
When you cancel a prepaid subscription, auto‑renewal stops but access typically continues until the end of the paid period.
Workspace and data
For certain refund approvals (annual Group), Expensify may delete the workspace after processing a refund request, so retain needed data before requesting deletion.
Billing stops but records remain
Charges will not continue after successful cancellation of auto‑renewal, but keep billing receipts and cancellation confirmations for your records.
Will I get a refund?
General refund policy
Expensify’s Terms of Service state that fees and charges are non‑refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods.
See the official Terms: Expensify Terms of Service.
Exceptions and platform refunds
- Exception: annual Group Workspace plans billed once may be eligible for a refund via Settings → Account → Subscription → “Request a Refund”, if there is no outstanding balance.
- Subscriptions purchased via the App Store or Google Play are refunded under Apple’s or Google’s policies, not Expensify’s policy.

Your consumer rights in India
Legal context
Indian consumer law (e.g., Consumer Protection Act, 2019) does not explicitly guarantee a universal 14‑day cooling‑off for all digital subscriptions.
Refund rights depend on the provider’s terms and the contract you agreed to when subscribing.
Practical advice
- Keep records of purchase receipts, cancellation attempts, and correspondence with Expensify or platform providers.
- If you believe a breach occurred, you can consider escalation to local consumer forums, providing your documented evidence.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
- Users praise SmartScan receipt capture, intuitive interface, and time savings for expense workflows.
- India‑based reviewers note simplicity, efficient integrations, and ease of use (see Capterra): Expensify on Capterra.
Negative feedback
- Complaints include slow or unhelpful customer support and difficulties with Concierge assistance.
- Some users report trouble cancelling subscriptions, unexpected fees, billing issues, and occasional software bugs (see aggregated reviews): Expensify on Trustpilot.
Documentation checklist
What to save before cancelling
- Subscription receipt and invoice showing billing period and amount.
- Screenshot of subscription settings page and any cancellation confirmation screens.
Evidence for disputes
- All emails or support chats with Expensify or platform providers about cancellation.
- Bank or card statements showing charges after attempted cancellation, if any.
Common mistakes
Assuming in‑app cancellation works for store subscriptions
Many users try to cancel inside the Expensify app even when the subscription was purchased via Apple or Google.
Always cancel via the platform (Apple ID or Google Play) if purchased there to stop future billing.
Not keeping proof of cancellation
Failing to save confirmation screens or emails can make disputes harder to resolve with billing providers or consumer forums.
Always capture timestamps, screenshots, and reference numbers when available.
