What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
When you cancel a paid subscription, you retain paid features until the end of your current billing cycle. Access ends after that date.
No immediate loss of saved conversation data is specified by Replika, but features tied to the subscription will stop working.
Renewal and billing
Cancellations prevent future renewals but do not retroactively remove charges already billed. Ensure you cancel before the renewal date to avoid the next charge.
If you subscribed through Apple or Google, those platforms control billing and renewals for those purchases.
Will I get a refund?
Replika’s stated refund policy
Replika states that purchases are final once payment completes and that no refunds are issued for time already used or remaining on a session.
Web purchases via Stripe or PayPal are generally final unless local law requires otherwise.
App store and platform refunds
If you purchased through the App Store or Google Play, refunds and billing issues are handled by Apple or Google respectively.
For details on Replika’s refund stance see the official refund help page: How refunds work.

Your consumer rights in India
General position
Replika’s Terms state purchases are final and refund policies are limited. The company does not explicitly specify Indian statutory refund rights in its documentation.
However, Indian consumer protection laws can apply to digital services if a service is deficient or misrepresented.
Practical steps if you have a dispute
- Document your purchase, cancellation attempts, and communications with Replika.
- If platform billing was used (Apple/Google), request support or refund via those platforms first.
- Consider contacting local consumer protection authorities or a consumer forum if you cannot resolve the issue.
Customer experiences
Common complaints
Public reviews include numerous reports of difficulty cancelling subscriptions and unwanted renewals leading to unexpected charges.

Documentation checklist
Before contacting support
- Account email or username used with Replika.
- Proof of purchase (receipt from Apple, Google Play, PayPal, or payment processor).
- Screenshots showing subscription status or attempt to cancel.
If you escalate the issue
- Record dates and times of renewal charges and cancellation attempts.
- Keep copies of any correspondence with Replika support or platform support teams.
Common mistakes
Assuming deleting the app cancels billing
Deleting the Replika app does not stop App Store or Google Play subscriptions. You must cancel through the store or web settings.
Always check your subscription status in the platform's subscription management area after deleting the app.
Waiting until after renewal
Many users miss the renewal cut-off and are billed for another period; cancelling must be done before the renewal date to avoid the next charge.
Check billing dates and set a calendar reminder a few days before renewal as a precaution.
