What is PRTG
Overview
PRTG is a network monitoring software that lets organisations monitor devices, traffic, and applications in real time.
It provides dashboards, alerts, and reporting to help IT teams detect and resolve issues quickly.
Primary uses
Common uses include uptime monitoring, bandwidth analysis, and custom alerting for infrastructure components.
PRTG is available via Paessler’s portal and through mobile app stores for iOS and Android.
How to cancel PRTG
Cancel a portal (direct) subscription
- Log in to your Paessler account on the Paessler/PRTG portal where you purchased the license.
- Locate your subscription or license management page and choose the cancel/terminate option.
- Ensure cancellation is completed at least 90 days before the renewal date for web (portal) purchases to avoid automatic renewal.
- Confirm cancellation and retain any confirmation or ticket number for records.
Cancel via mobile stores
- For iOS purchases, open the Apple App Store subscriptions settings and cancel there; Paessler does not manage iOS cancellations.
- For Android purchases, use the Google Play Store subscription management to cancel; Google Play handles these subscriptions.
- Paessler’s support cannot perform cancellations inside App Store or Google Play - use the platform controls and receipts there.
What happens when you cancel
Access and service
For web/portal subscriptions, access to the monitored installation is removed when a cancelled subscription reaches its end date.
If cancellation is not done before the 90-day renewal window, the subscription may auto-renew for the next term.
Data and configuration
After the subscription ends, monitoring data and the installation become inaccessible under the standard licence terms.
Plan ahead to export critical reports and configuration before the license expiry if you need records after cancellation.
Will I get a refund?
Paessler refund policy (portal purchases)
Paessler offers a 30-day money-back guarantee for purchases made via their portal.
To request a refund under this guarantee, submit the request within 30 days of purchase, following Paessler’s refund process.
Exceptions and platform purchases
- Purchases through the Apple App Store or Google Play are subject to those platform refund policies, not Paessler’s portal guarantee.
- There is no explicit mention in Paessler documentation of India’s statutory 14-day cooling-off right; assume the 30-day guarantee applies unless otherwise stated.

Your consumer rights in India
Refund and cooling-off expectations
Rely on Paessler’s explicit 30-day money-back guarantee for portal purchases unless other terms apply to a reseller sale.
There is no explicit mention in Paessler documentation of India’s statutory 14-day cooling-off period; do not assume it applies unless stated by the seller.
Auto-renewal and notice periods
- Web/portal subscriptions auto-renew after the initial 3-year term; cancel at least 90 days before renewal to prevent charges and loss of access.
- App store subscriptions follow Apple/Google renewal rules; check the platform’s subscription notices and management settings for rights and timelines.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Users in India report ease of setup, clear dashboards, and reliable alerting as key strengths of PRTG.
Global reviews often praise PRTG’s flexibility and comprehensive monitoring feature set.
Negative feedback
Common complaints include perceived high cost and steep price increases with subscription models.
Some users report slow or unsatisfactory support experiences, with tickets taking longer to resolve in certain cases.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before cancelling
- Account login and subscription ID or license key.
- Purchase receipt and date to check eligibility for the 30-day refund guarantee.
- Renewal date and any auto-renewal notices to respect the 90-day cancellation requirement.
What to export and save
- Export configuration backups and scheduled reports you need after cancellation.
- Save screenshots or copies of cancellation confirmations and any support ticket numbers.
Common mistakes
Missing the renewal window
Waiting until too close to renewal is a frequent mistake; for portal purchases cancel at least 90 days before renewal to prevent charges.
Relying on calendar reminders only can be risky - verify cancellation completion and save confirmation.
Expecting app-store refunds from Paessler
Users sometimes contact Paessler expecting Apple/Google refunds; platform purchases must be managed through the respective store.
Do not assume Paessler can reverse App Store or Google Play charges - use the platform’s support and refund tools.
