What is Birdeye
Service overview
Birdeye is a customer experience and reputation platform that helps businesses collect reviews, manage listings, and engage customers online.
The platform is used by businesses to boost visibility, send review requests, and centralise customer feedback management.
How Birdeye is typically contracted
Birdeye is generally provided under a commercial contract or subscription agreement that sets terms for billing, renewal, and cancellation.
Pricing and specific terms are usually quoted per business and may not be published publicly; customers receive a contract at signup.
How to cancel Birdeye
Check your contract first
Cancellation rights are governed by the contract you signed; early termination is only possible if an early opt-out or pause clause is included.
If your contract does not include early termination or pause terms, you typically cannot cancel before the agreed term ends.
Steps to request cancellation
- Locate your signed contract and note any cancellation, notice period, and auto-renewal clauses.
- Contact Birdeye support via [email protected] and billing via [email protected].
- If needed, reference Birdeye’s cancellation policy at https://birdeye.com/cancellation-policy/.
- Request written confirmation of cancellation and any effective date; keep copies of all communications.
- If you were billed via a third-party app store, mention the payment channel when you contact support, although Birdeye’s terms indicate cancellation is contract-driven.
What happens when you cancel
Access and feature availability
Access to Birdeye services typically continues until the end of your current paid term unless the contract states otherwise.
After the contract end date, user access and active features are usually disabled unless a renewal or new agreement is in place.
Renewals and automatic billing
Many contracts include auto-renewal clauses; failure to provide the required notice may result in continuation or renewal charges.
If you need to adjust billing timing, Birdeye may allow a billing-date change of up to 14 days where no pause clause is provided.
Data and export
Before cancellation, export any essential data such as reviews, customer lists, and settings because access may be removed after termination.
Request confirmation from Birdeye about data retention periods and whether they will retain or delete your account data after cancellation.
Will I get a refund?
General refund policy
Birdeye’s published terms state purchases are generally final and non-refundable unless otherwise required by law or offered specifically.
Refunds or credits may be granted at Birdeye’s sole discretion and are not guaranteed by default.
Third-party payment fees and exceptions
If a refund is issued for a payment processed by a third-party (for example, Stripe), Birdeye’s terms indicate payment processing fees may not be returned and the client remains liable for those fees.
There is no explicit statutory 14-day cooling-off right mentioned in Birdeye’s terms; check local consumer law for any applicable rights.
Birdeye plans and pricing
How pricing is provided
Birdeye pricing is typically gated and provided as a custom quote in USD based on business size and selected features.
Public exact pricing for Nigeria or fixed EUR/Naira prices are not published; you must request a quote from Birdeye sales.

Your consumer rights in Nigeria
Relevant Nigerian enforcement bodies
In Nigeria, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) handles consumer protection complaints and enforcement matters.
For unresolved disputes, you can consider contacting the FCCPC or seeking advice from a local legal advisor.
Practical rights and steps
Contracts with clear cancellation terms usually govern the outcome; statutory cooling-off periods like EU-style 14-day rights are not guaranteed for all services.
If you believe terms are unfair or you were misled, keep documentation and file a complaint with your bank, the processor, or the FCCPC as appropriate.
Customer experiences
Positive reports
Many users praise Birdeye for improving online visibility, generating reviews, and having helpful support staff in some cases.
Customers report notable review growth and increased visibility when the platform is properly configured.
Negative reports
Common complaints include difficulty cancelling subscriptions, unexpected charges after cancellation requests, and long notice requirements in contracts.
Other negative feedback cites inconsistent support responsiveness, setup delays, perceived high cost, and occasional technical issues with review delivery.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before you cancel
- Copy of the signed contract, including cancellation and notice clauses.
- Invoices, payment records, and proof of any cancellation requests sent.
- Account ID, username, and the email address used for the Birdeye account.
Additional helpful items
- Exported data: reviews, customer lists, reports, and any API keys or integrations documentation.
- Screenshots or records of conversations with Birdeye support and billing teams.
- Bank or payment-processor communication if you need to dispute charges.
Common mistakes
Missing the contract details
A frequent mistake is assuming you can cancel anytime; many customers discover their contract requires a notice period or disallows early termination.
Always read and follow the exact notice and renewal requirements in your agreement to avoid unexpected charges.
Poor documentation and timing
Not keeping written records of cancellation requests or confirmations leads to disputes over whether you submitted proper notice.
Another example is waiting until the renewal date to act; submit termination requests well before any required notice window ends.
