Cancel Rise: Easy Method
What is Rise
Overview
Rise is a sleep and alarm app that uses data and AI-based coaching to help users improve sleep timing, manage sleep debt, and optimise wake times.
The app includes features such as sleep debt tracking, wind-down reminders, caffeine and light guidance, and access to expert content.
How Rise is delivered
Rise is available as a mobile app listed in the App Store and Google Play, and as a subscription purchased either through those stores or directly via the RISE website.
Subscription billing may be handled by Apple, Google, or RISE depending on where you started the subscription.
How to cancel Rise
If you subscribed via App Store (Apple)
- Open the RISE app → Profile → Subscription → Cancel Subscription Renewal.
- Alternatively, open your Apple device Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions → select Rise → Cancel.
- Note: Deleting the app or your RISE account does NOT stop billing. Cancel via Apple subscriptions to stop charges.
If you subscribed via Google Play
- Open the RISE app → Profile → Subscription → Cancel Subscription Renewal.
- Or open the Google Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → select Rise → Cancel.
- Deleting the app or your RISE account does NOT stop billing. Cancel via Google Play subscriptions to stop charges.
If you subscribed via the RISE website
- Open the RISE app → Membership → Subscription → Cancel Subscription Renewal to cancel website-managed subscriptions.
- Subscriptions started on the RISE website are billed by RISE and will not appear in App Store/Play subscription lists.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period.
You will retain access to premium features until the paid period expires.
Billing and renewals
No further auto-renewal charges will occur after cancellation takes effect at period end.
There are no pro-rata refunds for unused time when a subscription is cancelled mid-period.
Account data
Canceling a subscription does not necessarily delete your account or personal data; check RISE settings or contact support if you want data deletion.
Deleting the app from your device does not automatically delete account data or stop billing.
Will I get a refund?
General refund policy
RISE does not provide automatic refunds once a paid subscription charge has processed.
Cancellations do not trigger pro-rata refunds; charges processed remain unless a refund is approved via the applicable channel.
How to request a refund
- App Store purchases: request a refund from Apple via reportaproblem.apple.com.
- Google Play purchases: request a refund through the Google Play refund system in your Google account or Play Store help.
- Website purchases: submit a refund request to RISE using their “Submit a request” support form on their help site.
Trial period and exceptions
RISE offers a free 7-day trial; cancel within that 7-day trial to avoid being charged.
If you believe a charge was made in error, provide receipts and subscription evidence when requesting a refund from Apple, Google, or RISE.

Customer experiences

Many users praise Rise for improving sleep, increasing energy awareness, and helpful AI-based coaching.
Features commonly appreciated include sleep debt tracking, wind-down reminders, caffeine and light timing, and access to experts.
Negative feedback
Several users report being charged despite cancelling free trials, with confusion over whether the subscription started in the App Store or on the website.
Other complaints include deleting the app or account not stopping billing, unintuitive cancellation flows, and occasional support responsiveness issues.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before contacting support
- Receipt or proof of charge (App Store, Google Play, or RISE receipt).
- Date and time you first subscribed and date you attempted cancellation.
- Screenshot showing subscription source (App Store/Play listing or RISE membership page).
- Any confirmation emails or messages from App Store, Google Play, or RISE.
How to present your case
- State clearly where you purchased the subscription (Apple, Google, or RISE website).
- Include screenshots and transaction IDs to speed up the refund or cancellation review.
Common mistakes
Deleting the app without cancelling
Many users assume deleting the RISE app or their account will stop billing; it does not.
You must cancel the subscription in the App Store, Google Play, or RISE membership settings depending on where it was purchased.
Not checking subscription source
Confusion over whether the subscription was started via Apple, Google, or the RISE website can delay cancellations and refunds.
Always check your purchase receipt or the subscriptions section of your device account to confirm the billing source.
