What is Duet
What you are actually paying for
Duet is a subscription software service that turns an iPad, Android tablet, Mac, or PC into a second display or remote workspace. In practice, people in the Philippines usually subscribe for extra screen space, wired or wireless display extension, graphics tablet features, or remote desktop access, depending on the plan shown on Duet’s billing pages and signup flow at Duet signup.
The core business model is recurring billing. Duet’s terms say auto-recurring subscriptions keep charging your payment method until you cancel, and the company expects cancellation at least 24 hours before the end of the billing period to avoid the next renewal charge "if you purchase an auto-recurring periodic subscription" (duetapp.net).
Plans, trials, and how users get locked into renewal
Duet sells several paid tiers, including Duet Air at $4.00 (₱226), Duet Studio at $5.00 (₱282), Duet Pro at $6.00 (₱339), and Duet Business at $6.00 (₱339) per user per month on annual billing. The research data also shows monthly billing can be higher, with Duet Pro at $10.00 (₱565) per month and Duet Remote Access at $15.00 (₱848) per month, both with a 7-day free trial.
Here is the thing for Philippine users: the service does not publish peso-native pricing in the verified material, so you will usually see US dollar pricing and your card, GCash-linked card, Maya card, or bank may apply its own forex conversion. If you joined through a free trial, Duet’s terms say you will be charged on the last day of the trial unless you cancel before it ends (duetapp.net).
How Duet behaves in the Philippines
Duet is available online and through app ecosystems used in the Philippines, including App Store and Google Play for subscription management. Local support details are limited: no phone number is listed, no live chat is available, and support is handled by email at [email protected] according to Duet’s help data.
That matters because many users get frustrated when cancellation is unclear, when charges continue after an attempted cancellation, or when refunds are denied. The truth is, Duet’s setup is simple when the cancel button appears, but support escalation is thinner than what many Filipino consumers expect from subscription services with recurring billing.
How to cancel Duet without getting charged again
Checks to do before you press cancel
Before cancelling, open your account and note your exact billing date, current plan name, and purchase channel. This matters because Duet can be billed directly on the web, through App Store, or through Google Play, and cancelling in the wrong place is one of the most common reasons users get charged again.
Take screenshots of your current subscription page, your latest receipt, and any trial end date. If your setup includes remote access or display profiles you care about, save what you can locally now, because Duet does not clearly state a post-cancellation data retention timeline in the available terms.
Cancel through the Duet website account page
If you subscribed directly with Duet, the official web path is clear on paper. Log in at Duet Account Management, then go to Account > Profile or Account > Your Plan, click Manage Subscription, and select Cancel Subscription "to complete the process" (duetdisplay.com).
This is the fastest route when the option is visible. A useful backup is Duet’s official help page at How to cancel your Duet subscription, which confirms the same click path and is worth opening in another tab while you cancel.
- Log in to your Duet account page.
- Open Account.
- Choose Profile or Your Plan.
- Click Manage Subscription.
- Select Cancel Subscription.
- Save a screenshot of the final confirmation.
Cancel through App Store or Google Play
If you bought Duet through Apple, you must cancel inside Apple’s subscription settings. On iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your Apple ID, choose Subscriptions, select Duet Display, then tap Cancel Subscription. Duet’s own help page also warns that uninstalling the app does not cancel the subscription (duetdisplay.com).
If you bought through Google Play, open the Google Play Store app, tap your profile icon, go to Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions, select Duet Display, and tap Cancel Subscription. Again, deleting the app is not enough. If your payment was routed through Apple or Google, Duet support usually cannot directly stop renewal inside those store systems.
Email support and postal backup if the button is missing
Some users report that the cancellation option on the website is missing or hard to access. If that happens, email [email protected] the same day with your account email, order ID, purchase channel, screenshot of the missing cancel option, and a plain request to stop auto-renewal before the next billing date. Duet does not list a phone number or support hours in the verified support data.
If you want extra proof, you can also send a cancellation notice by registered mail to the company address listed later in this guide. Some consumers now use certified digital letter services such as Postclic instead of traditional registered mail because they create timestamped proof of sending, receipt, and opening. For Duet, postal notice is a backup record, not the main cancellation channel.
After you cancel, this is what changes on your account
Access usually continues until the current paid period ends
Duet’s available terms do not promise pro-rated refunds for unused time, which usually means cancellation stops the next renewal rather than ending access immediately. If you cancel halfway through a monthly plan, expect to keep access until your already paid billing period expires, then lose premium features at renewal end.
A practical example: if your renewal date is April 28 and you cancel on April 10, you would usually keep paid access until April 28, then the next charge should not happen. Because Duet does not publish a detailed post-cancel access schedule in the verified help article, save your own screenshots showing the expiration date.
What happens if you do nothing
Duet’s terms are direct about auto-renewal. Your payment method continues to be billed until you cancel, and if you do not stop auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the subscription period, Duet treats that as acceptance of continued charging under your chosen billing cycle (duetapp.net).
This is especially relevant for free trials. Duet says trial users who entered billing information will be charged on the last day of the free trial unless they cancelled before the trial expired (duetapp.net). Set a calendar reminder at least 2 days early, not just 24 hours early, to avoid timezone mistakes or store processing delays.
Your data and account details after cancellation
Duet does not clearly spell out data retention after cancellation in the available sources. If you need account deletion or want specific stored information removed, the safest move is to email support and state that request separately, because cancelling a subscription is not the same as deleting account data.
Before cancelling, save receipts, screenshots of your plan page, and any work setup information tied to your devices. If you later need to dispute a continued charge with your bank, those records become your timeline of evidence.
Duet refund policy and the reality for Philippine users
General refund rule: expect no pro-rated refund
Many users get annoyed here, and honestly the policy is stricter than people expect. Duet’s policy says there are no refunds or credits for partial months, unused time, or upgrades and downgrades, with refunds generally limited to duplicate payments or other cases approved by billing support (postclic.com summary based on Duet policy, duetapp.net terms).
Duet’s terms also say that if you stop using the service during the validity period, the company is not responsible for refunding the fee for the remaining period (duetapp.net). In plain terms, if you cancel after renewal, most users should assume the current month or year is already paid and non-refundable.
Your rights in the Philippines if billing goes wrong
For Philippine consumers, the Consumer Act of the Philippines or RA 7394 and the E-Commerce Act or RA 8792 are the key laws to know. There is no universal statutory cooling-off period for ordinary online subscriptions like Duet, so you usually cannot rely on a simple no-questions-asked withdrawal right after buying a digital plan.
You do still have remedies if the charge was unauthorized, duplicated, or continued after a valid cancellation. In those cases, the practical path is to complain to the merchant, then your bank, card issuer, GCash, or Maya, and if needed escalate to DTI for the consumer side of the complaint.
How to request a refund step by step
If your issue is a billing error, email support with your order ID, purchase channel, amount charged, date charged, and a short explanation. For direct Duet transactions, the terms say billing issues are handled case by case and requests should go to [email protected] according to the terms summary, while current support contact data lists [email protected]. To avoid delay, send to [email protected] and include the terms reference from duetapp.net in your message.
If the purchase was through App Store or Google Play, Duet says refunds are administered by the store, not by Duet. That means Apple purchases should go through Apple’s refund route, and Google Play purchases should go through Google’s refund process, because Duet support usually cannot reverse those store-managed charges.
Chargeback, GCash, Maya, and bank disputes
If Duet keeps charging after cancellation or the charge is clearly unauthorized, chargeback is the last resort. In the Philippines, cardholders typically have up to 60 days from the statement date to dispute a transaction under BSP-related banking practice, so do not wait too long. Save screenshots of your cancellation confirmation, support emails, and statement entries before you file.
If you paid with a credit card, debit card, GCash-linked card, or Maya card, ask the provider to open a dispute for continued or unauthorized recurring billing. DTI handles consumer complaints under RA 7394, while BSP is relevant for payment disputes with banks and electronic money issuers.
Terms of service details that affect your Duet subscription
Auto-renewal and commitment terms
Duet’s terms say recurring subscriptions continue billing until you cancel, and cancellation should happen at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period to avoid the next charge (duetapp.net). No minimum commitment duration is specified in the available terms, so the practical commitment is the billing cycle you chose, usually monthly or annual.
No early termination fee was found in the verified material. That is the good news. The less good news is that the absence of an early termination fee does not mean a refund for unused time, because the same terms say unused periods are generally not refunded.
Free trial conversion and missing data points
The free trial clause is the one most likely to catch people off guard. Duet says that if you enter billing information for a free trial, you will not be charged until the trial expires, but on the last day of that trial you are automatically charged unless you canceled in time (duetapp.net).
Some details are simply not spelled out in the available sources. Applicable law, dispute resolution, and precise data retention after cancellation are not specified clearly in the verified materials, so if those points matter for your case, ask support in writing and keep the reply.
Duet plans and pricing in Philippine peso
Subscription price table
Plan | Price (USD / PHP) | Billing period | Main use |
Duet Air | $4.00 (₱226)* | Monthly | Second display |
Duet Studio | $5.00 (₱282)* | Monthly | Graphics tablet |
Duet Pro | $6.00 (₱339)* | Monthly | Remote desktop |
Duet Business | $6.00 (₱339)* | Per user monthly | Team management |
Prices are approximate, converted from USD at the rate 1 USD ≈ 56.5 PHP, and you should check the official website for exact local prices.
Which plan costs more and where savings may be overstated
Among the plans listed in the verified pricing data, Duet Air is the lowest at $4.00 (₱226) and Duet Pro and Duet Business are the highest listed at $6.00 (₱339) on annual-style pricing. The pricing notes also show monthly billing can jump much higher, with Duet Pro at $10.00 (₱565) and Duet Remote Access at $15.00 (₱848), which tells you annual billing is used to make the headline price look lower.
If you only need a basic second screen, Duet Air is the easiest plan to justify. If you signed up for Pro during a short-term project and forgot to cancel, the real overpayment risk is not a hidden fee but an unnecessary auto-renewal on a higher monthly tier.
Your rights in the Philippines when cancelling a digital subscription
Laws that matter for a Duet dispute
For a Philippine user, the main laws are the Consumer Act of the Philippines or RA 7394 and the E-Commerce Act or RA 8792. These laws support fair dealing in online transactions and give you a basis to complain when a merchant continues billing after cancellation, misrepresents terms, or fails to respond properly to a digital purchase problem.
Duet’s terms are stricter on refunds than many users expect, but local law still matters when the issue is not simple buyer’s remorse. If the problem is unauthorized charging, duplicate billing, or a failure to honor a valid cancellation, your complaint is stronger than a request based only on unused time.
Cooling-off rights and what they do not cover
In the Philippines, a 7 working day cooling-off period is recognized mainly for door-to-door sales, not as a universal rule for ordinary online software subscriptions. For online purchases, there is no general statutory cooling-off rule that automatically lets you reverse any digital subscription like Duet after purchase.
That means you should not assume you can cancel today and recover a full payment just because you changed your mind. For Duet, your best case for money back is usually a duplicate payment, billing error, or unauthorized recurring charge, not simple non-use.
How to file a complaint with DTI or raise a payment dispute
If Duet support does not resolve the issue, gather your evidence: cancellation screenshot, renewal receipt, card or wallet statement, and emails sent to support. Then file a consumer complaint with DTI, explaining the timeline and attaching the proof. Mention RA 7394 and state clearly whether the issue is continued billing, non-disclosed renewal, or refusal to address a duplicate charge.
If the problem is payment-related, contact your bank, GCash, Maya, or card issuer and request a dispute or chargeback within 60 days from the statement date where possible. BSP is the regulator to know for payment-system complaints, while DTI is the agency to know for the subscription dispute itself.
Useful authority contacts
For Duet-related consumer complaints in the Philippines, start with DTI for the merchant issue and your financial provider for the charge dispute. Because official contact details can change, use the current government websites when filing.
What customers say about cancellation and support
Overall verdict based on the limited review data
Based on the review set provided here, cancellation and support look more difficult than easy. The sentiment trend is 0 positive and 2 negative out of 2 unique reviews, and the local issue data also says some users struggle to find the cancel option on the website or report continued charges after attempting cancellation.
That does not prove every user has a bad experience, but it does tell you to document everything. On the positive side, Duet does publish an official help article with direct cancellation steps, which is better than services that hide the process completely.

- "Travellers, be aware that Duet needs a near constant connection to the internet. Weird, because most apps only need to verify the initial use, but Duet has organized it that way that you need it every time you start using your computer/laptop." (TrustPilot)
Documents to prepare before and after you cancel
Checklist before cancellation
Start with four basics: screenshot your plan page, note the next billing date, save your latest receipt, and confirm whether you subscribed on the web, App Store, or Google Play. Those four items solve most disputes faster than long email explanations.
- Screenshot of Account > Your Plan or Profile page
- Receipt email or store receipt
- Billing date and trial end date
- Payment method used
What to keep for refund or charge disputes
If you later ask for a refund or file a bank dispute, specific transaction details matter more than general complaints. Save the transaction ID, exact amount such as $10.00 (₱565) or whatever appears on your receipt, the date charged, and the cancellation confirmation screen or email.
- Order ID or subscription ID
- Charge date and amount
- Cancellation confirmation screenshot
- Email thread with support
- Bank, GCash, or Maya statement entry
Using the wrong cancellation channel
A very common mistake is cancelling on the Duet website even though the subscription was bought through Apple or Google. If your receipt came from App Store or Google Play, renewal must be stopped there, not just on the Duet account page.
Real-world example: you uninstall the app on your iPad and assume the subscription is gone. It is not. Duet’s own help page says uninstalling does not cancel the subscription (duetdisplay.com).
Waiting until the last day of renewal
Duet’s terms mention a 24-hour cutoff before the end of the billing period. If you wait until the final hours of a trial or renewal date, timezone differences, app store processing, or a missing cancel button can leave you too late for that cycle.
A safer habit is to cancel 48 hours early. That buffer is especially useful if you are in the Philippines and the merchant platform is operating on another timezone.
Expecting a refund for unused days
Many users cancel and assume they will get money back for the unused remainder of the month or year. Duet’s policy points the other way: no refunds or credits for partial months or unused time, except cases like duplicate payments or billing-approved exceptions (duetapp.net).
If you renewed today and cancel tomorrow, the likely outcome is no pro-rated refund. Go into the process with that expectation so you can focus on stopping future charges and preserving evidence.
Not saving proof when the cancel option is missing
Local issue reports mention the website cancel option may not always be visible or accessible. If that happens and you simply close the page, you lose your strongest evidence. Screenshot the missing menu, email support immediately, and note the date and time.
This can make the difference if a new charge appears later. A bank or wallet dispute is much easier when you can show you tried to cancel before renewal.
A quick comparison of Duet cancellation methods
Method table
Method | Notice period | Fee | Difficulty |
Web/account | Before next billing | No fee found | Easy |
App Store (iOS) | Before next billing | No fee found | Medium |
Google Play (Android) | Before next billing | No fee found | Medium |
Registered mail | 5-10 business days | No fee found | Higher but strong proof |
Key takeaway before you choose a method
The best method depends on where you subscribed. Direct web purchases fit the Duet account portal, App Store purchases belong in Apple subscriptions, and Google Play purchases belong in Google Play subscriptions. Registered mail is slower but can help if you need an extra paper trail.
No cancellation fee or early termination fee was found in the verified material. The real risk is not the fee but a missed renewal because you used the wrong channel or waited too long.
What to do right after cancelling
Immediate checks in the first 10 minutes
Right after cancelling, look for a confirmation screen, a confirmation email, or a changed renewal status in your account. Screenshot all of it and save it in one folder with your receipt. If you cancelled a trial, add a calendar reminder for the trial end date anyway, just in case the status does not update properly.
Then check the billing page one more time. If you still see Manage Subscription without any cancelled status, email support the same day and attach your screenshots.
Monitor statements and know your backup options
Watch your card, GCash, Maya, or bank statement through the next billing date and for at least one full cycle after that. If an unauthorized or continued charge appears, contact the provider quickly and ask for a dispute or chargeback within the usual 60-day window from the statement date.
If you are replacing Duet, alternatives in this category include Splashtop at about $5.00 to $20.00 per month (₱282 to ₱1,130), iDisplay at $9.99 (₱564) one-time, and Air Display at $19.99 (₱1,129) one-time. Splashtop is more remote-access oriented, while iDisplay and Air Display are closer to extra-screen use cases.
Useful links
Duet cancellation address and when to use it
Physical mailing address
If you want to send a written cancellation notice or preserve extra proof, use this address:
- 335 S Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33131, USA
This should be treated as a backup record, not the main route. For most users, the account page, App Store, or Google Play will stop billing faster than postal mail.
When online cancellation is enough
In most cases, Duet is an online-first service and the online account route is the practical option. If the cancellation works in your account or store subscription page and you save proof, that is usually enough.
Use the address only when the online method fails, the cancel button is missing, or you are building a stronger evidence trail for a refund fight, DTI complaint, or bank chargeback case.
