Cancel Scrimba: Easy Method

What is Scrimba

Overview

Scrimba is an online learning platform focused primarily on front-end web development and interactive coding lessons. It combines screencast-style lessons with an in-browser IDE so you can follow and edit code as you learn.

Who uses it

Users include beginners learning web development and experienced developers refreshing skills or completing project-based courses. Scrimba operates internationally and offers paid Pro access for extra features.

How to cancel Scrimba

Cancel via the Scrimba website (direct subscription)

• Sign in to your Scrimba account on the web.
• Go to Settings → Subscriptions.
• Click the “x” icon next to your active subscription to cancel.
• You retain access to Pro until the end of the current billing cycle.

Cancel App Store or Google Play subscriptions

• App Store (iOS): Cancel through your Apple ID Subscriptions in your device Settings; Scrimba support cannot cancel App Store subscriptions for you.
• Google Play (Android): Open the Play Store → your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → select Scrimba → Cancel Subscription.
• For purchases through Apple or Google, use the respective platform's subscription management - do not rely on Scrimba support to remove those platform-managed subscriptions.

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

If you cancel a direct web subscription, you will keep access to Pro features until the end of the current billing cycle. Access does not immediately terminate on cancellation.

Renewals and platform-managed subscriptions

For App Store and Google Play subscriptions, cancellation stops future renewals but you generally retain access until the paid period ends. Platform stores manage billing and renewals independently of Scrimba.

Data and account status

Cancelling a subscription does not delete your Scrimba account or learning progress by default. Your profile, completed courses, and certificates typically remain accessible on a free account.

Will I get a refund?

Standard refund policy

Scrimba offers a full refund if requested within 7 days of the initial purchase. This is limited to one refund per account and excludes bank or currency exchange fees.

Exceptions and renewals

• Refunds are generally not provided for renewals or prorated days after cancellation.
• Although policy excludes renewal refunds, support has sometimes issued refunds flexibly for accidental renewals when users contacted help.
• App Store and Google Play purchases follow Apple’s and Google’s refund procedures; contact those stores for refunds of platform-managed purchases.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand

Cooling-off period and refunds

Under New Zealand consumer law, online subscription purchases typically have a 7-day cooling-off period. Scrimba’s 7-day refund policy aligns with this expectation for initial purchases.

Consumer Guarantees and Fair Trading

The Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act protect consumers against misleading conduct and require services to meet reasonable standards. Limitations on refunding renewals may conflict with some consumer expectations.

Practical steps if you have a dispute

• Contact Scrimba support first and provide purchase details and reasoning for the refund request.
• If unresolved, consider contacting Consumer Protection New Zealand or using dispute-resolution services.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Many users praise Scrimba’s interactive front-end courses and the in-browser IDE experience for hands-on learning. Several reviewers also report successful refunds when contacting support.

Negative feedback

Some customers complain about unexpected automatic renewals and difficulty cancelling in older site versions. Others note back-end or AI course quality as uneven compared with front-end offerings.

Documentation checklist

What to gather before contacting support

• Account email address used for the Scrimba account.
• Order or transaction ID from your receipt or platform billing.
• Purchase date and the platform used (Web, Apple App Store, Google Play).
• Screenshots of the billing statement or subscription page if available.

Platform-specific notes

• If purchased via Apple, have your Apple receipt and subscription details ready.
• If purchased via Google Play, include the Play Store order number and app purchase email.

Common mistakes

Relying on support to cancel platform subscriptions

People sometimes ask Scrimba support to cancel App Store or Google Play subscriptions. Those subscriptions must be cancelled through Apple or Google account settings.

Missing refund windows and renewal surprises

Waiting beyond the 7-day refund window often means the standard policy won’t apply. Accidental renewals can be frustrating; contact support promptly and provide documentation.
