What is Kahoot
Overview
Kahoot is a game‑based learning platform for creating and running quizzes, surveys and interactive lessons. It is used in classrooms, workplaces and social settings to engage groups in real time.
Main uses
Users can join live games or run self‑paced quizzes, and creators can buy subscriptions for premium features or content. Subscriptions are available on web and via app stores.
How to cancel Kahoot
Web (website)
- Sign in at kahoot.com and open Account settings.
- Go to Billing → Manage Subscription and choose Cancel renewal.
- Cancellation stops future renewals; you keep access until the end of your prepaid cycle.
- See the official instructions: How to cancel a renewal of your web subscription.
Mobile (iOS and Android)
- iOS subscriptions are managed in your Apple account settings; cancel in the App Store subscription area.
- Android subscriptions are managed in Google Play; cancel in Google Play → Subscriptions.
- Kahoot cannot cancel App Store or Google Play subscriptions directly. See: How to manage my mobile subscription.
Notes and tips
- Cancel before the next renewal date to avoid another charge.
- Keep screenshots or confirmation emails as proof of cancellation.
What happens when you cancel
Access and renewal
Cancelling a renewal prevents future automatic charges but does not remove access immediately.
You retain premium features until the end of the current prepaid cycle. After that period your account reverts to the free plan.
Data and account
Your account, created kahoots and results remain available on your account unless you delete them separately.
Deleting your account is different from cancelling a subscription and may require separate steps in account settings.
Will I get a refund?
Standard refund policy
Kahoot’s policy gives consumers a 14‑day right to withdraw from feature (Paid Service Plan) subscriptions purchased directly on the web.
To request a refund you must contact Kahoot support in writing within 14 days. See details: Kahoot refund policy.
Exceptions and third‑party purchases
- Content subscriptions (AccessPass, Marketplace content) are excluded from the withdrawal right because access is immediate and the right is waived at purchase.
- If you purchased via Apple, Google or other app stores, refund requests must go through those stores under their policies; Kahoot cannot process those refunds.
- Simple cancellation stops renewals but does not automatically refund amounts already paid; exceptions require a support request and are handled case‑by‑case.

Your consumer rights in India
14‑day withdrawal right
Indian consumers have the 14‑day cooling‑off right for feature subscriptions purchased directly (web), allowing a refund if requested in writing within 14 days.
Make the request with order details and proof of purchase to support within the 14‑day window. See the refund policy: Kahoot refund policy.
App store purchases and local law
If you buy via Apple or Google in India, refunds and disputes are subject to those stores’ policies and processes.
Kahoot cannot override app store refund decisions; you should follow the store’s refund request flow for third‑party purchases.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Many users praise Kahoot for being engaging and easy to use in group and classroom settings.
Reviewers note it helps learning through interactive quizzes and is simple to set up and run. See community reviews: Kahoot on Trustpilot.
Negative feedback
Common complaints concern difficulty cancelling subscriptions and unexpected charges, especially around perceived monthly vs annual billing.
Users also report challenges reaching helpful customer support and instances of wrongful renewals not being resolved promptly.
Documentation checklist
Before contacting support
- Account email and username used for the subscription.
- Order receipt or invoice showing date and amount.
- Subscription source (Web, Apple App Store, Google Play) and screenshots if available.
When requesting refunds or dispute help
- Screenshot of billing in your bank or app store transaction history.
- Cancellation confirmation or timestamps showing attempts to cancel.
- Written support request saved as evidence (required within 14 days for web refunds).
Common mistakes
Mistaken cancellation route
Users often try to cancel an App Store subscription from the Kahoot website; keep in mind mobile subscriptions must be cancelled via Apple or Google.
Attempting the wrong cancellation route delays the process and may result in continued charges.
Expectation errors about refunds
Many expect immediate refunds after cancellation; cancelling only stops future renewals and does not automatically refund past payments.
Content purchases with immediate access typically waive the withdrawal right and are not refundable under standard policy.
Comparative recap
Web vs Mobile summary
| Channel | How to cancel | Refund route | Access after cancel |

| iOS (App Store) | Apple account settings → Subscriptions | Request refund through Apple App Store policies | Until end of paid cycle |
| Android (Google Play) | Google Play → Subscriptions | Request refund through Google Play policies | Until end of paid cycle |
Quick takeaway
