Cancel via mobile store subscriptions
- If you subscribed through Apple App Store, cancel via iOS Settings under your Apple ID > Subscriptions.

What happens when you cancel
Account access and billing
After cancelling a paid ConvertKit subscription via the dashboard, your account remains active until the end of the current billing period.
No additional fee is charged at the moment of cancellation; the subscription simply does not renew at the next billing date.
Data retention and exports
Your account data (subscribers, sequences, forms) typically remains available while the account is active through the paid period.
If you want to keep records, export subscribers, broadcasts, and other data before access changes or before deleting the account.
Will I get a refund?
30‑day money‑back guarantee
ConvertKit offers a 30‑day money‑back guarantee for new subscribers on monthly and annual plans if you request a refund within the first 30 days after signup.
Request the refund promptly within the 30‑day window to qualify; supporting documentation or account details may be requested.
After 30 days and exceptions
After the initial 30‑day period, refunds are generally not available. You will typically retain access until the end of the paid billing cycle but will not be reimbursed for unused time.
If you subscribed through Apple or Google, refunds and refund policies may be governed by those stores' processes and requirements.

Your consumer rights in Nigeria
Local consumer protection overview
There is no indication ConvertKit provides Nigeria‑specific variations to cancellation or refund policies; published terms appear uniform globally.
Nigerian consumers are covered by laws such as the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA), which require fair treatment and transparent terms.
Practical steps for Nigerian users
- If you want a refund, act quickly within ConvertKit’s 30‑day window and document your request.
- If problems arise (undisclosed charges, inability to cancel), you can file complaints with local consumer protection authorities under FCCPA guidance.
- Keep receipts, screenshots of billing, and copies of support correspondence to support any dispute.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Some users praise ConvertKit for its simple UI and ease of use, especially for beginners building email lists and landing pages.
Reviews note helpful analytics, effective opt‑in tools, and straightforward automation for audience growth.
Negative feedback
Other users report issues with pricing surprises, difficulty downgrading, and occasional billing problems or charges after cancellation.
Complaints also include frustrating support experiences and automation glitches that affected workflows, as described in user reviews.
Documentation checklist
Before you cancel
- Account email and login credentials.
- Subscription details: plan name, billing period, date of last payment.
- Screenshots of billing or invoices and any messages confirming subscription changes.
When requesting a refund or dispute
- Proof of purchase (receipt, bank statement showing charge).
- Support ticket numbers and correspondence with ConvertKit or app store.
- Exported data you want to retain (subscriber lists, sequences, broadcasts).
Common mistakes
Assuming deleting the app cancels billing
Example: Users sometimes delete the mobile app but forget that App Store or Google Play subscriptions continue until explicitly cancelled.
Always cancel within the store where the subscription was purchased to stop future charges.
Missing the refund window
Example: Waiting beyond 30 days to request a refund often leaves users without recourse from ConvertKit’s published policy.
Act promptly within the 30‑day money‑back guarantee and keep records of your refund request.
