Cancellation service #1 in Philippines
Itranscribe is a software service that turns audio into text. It is sold as a subscription product, and its terms show automatic renewal within 24 hours unless you cancel "your account will automatically renew within 24 hours unless you cancel the subscription" (itranscribe.com).
If you are in the Philippines, the frustrating part starts early. Many users get confused because the billing rules are published in the Terms, but the cancellation route is often pushed to support by email at [email protected] instead of a clear one-click account page (itranscribe.co, itranscribe.com).
The paid plans are built around transcription minutes. Based on the published pricing page, the monthly tiers include 120 minutes, 360 minutes, and 900 minutes, plus a prepaid 30-minute option sold separately (itranscribe.it).
The service is aimed at users who need automated transcription, editing tools, and formatted text output. In practical use, that usually means students transcribing lectures, creators adding subtitles, and professionals turning interviews or meetings into text files.
Itranscribe uses recurring billing with possible trial offers. Its Terms say a trial may be free or discounted, but if you do not cancel before the trial ends, you will be charged automatically on a recurring basis (itranscribe.com).
For Filipino users, that matters because there is no stated minimum commitment period in the Terms, but there is also no stated cooling-off period and no general refund after cancellation. The truth is, Itranscribe is simple to buy and less clear to exit, which is why saving proof matters from day one.
The service appears accessible online in the Philippines, and app-based subscriptions are also supported through App Store and Google Play based on the cancellation instructions provided by support. Local support hours are not published, there is no live chat, and no phone number is listed, which can slow down urgent billing concerns (itranscribe.co).
Pricing is published in US dollars, so Filipino users usually pay a converted amount in pesos depending on their card, Apple, or Google billing rate. That also means your final charge in ₱ may differ slightly from the rough converted amount shown on the pricing page.
A lot of subscription complaints come from cancelling too late or using the wrong channel. Before doing anything, check your billing source, your next renewal date, and your current plan name. If you subscribed in the app, cancel in the app store. If you subscribed on the web, contact support by email.
Take screenshots of your active subscription, your latest receipt, and your account email. This matters because one negative user review says the app did not respond to a cancellation request and the card could not be removed, while more charges were still attempted (TrustPilot).
For direct subscriptions, the verified cancellation route is support email. Send your cancellation request to [email protected] and include the email linked to your account, the date of your last charge, and a direct sentence asking them to cancel auto-renewal immediately (itranscribe.co).
Use the support page as your backup reference at Itranscribe contact page. Since there is no published phone number and no live chat, email is the main documented path for web cancellation.
If your subscription was started on iOS, do not email support first and assume that is enough. Apple controls the billing for App Store subscriptions, and the verified path is Settings > your name > Subscriptions > Itranscribe > Cancel Subscription.
This is one of the most common mistakes with SaaS apps. Users send an email to the developer, but the Apple subscription stays active because the billing owner is Apple, not the app's support team.
If you subscribed on Android, use Google Play. The verified path is Google Play Store > menu or profile area > Subscriptions > Itranscribe > Cancel Subscription.
This matters because Google Play renewals usually continue until you cancel inside Google. If you only uninstall the app, the subscription does not stop. That mistake still catches plenty of users every month across app services.
Itranscribe does not publish a support phone number, and there is no live chat. Support hours are also not specified, so if you are close to renewal, send your email early and keep a timestamped copy of the message you sent (itranscribe.co).
If you want stronger proof, you can also send a registered cancellation letter, even though no physical cancellation address was found in the verified sources. Some users now use digital registered delivery services such as Postclic for timestamped proof of sending, receipt, and opening when they want an extra evidence trail without visiting a post office.
Itranscribe states automatic renewal happens within 24 hours unless you cancel, which strongly suggests your access stays active until the end of the already paid billing period, then stops renewing (itranscribe.com). In plain terms, if your renewal date is April 18 and you cancel on April 10, you would normally keep paid access until April 18.
You should still ask support or the app store for the exact end date. Get that in writing by email or screenshot because the Terms do not provide a more detailed access timeline.
The key risk is the 24-hour renewal rule. If you forget to cancel before the next billing cycle, your account may renew automatically and a new charge may appear on your card, Apple account, or Google Play payment method (itranscribe.com).
That is why many users feel annoyed after thinking they had already left the service. Uninstalling the app, logging out, or stopping usage does not equal cancellation.
Itranscribe does not clearly state a data retention policy after cancellation in the Terms. That means the safest move is to export transcripts, download files, and save any work before your paid period ends (itranscribe.com).
Here is the practical takeaway: assume nothing will be stored for you forever. Save your transcripts locally, back them up to cloud storage, and keep copies of invoices and support emails.
The published refund position is blunt. Refunds are generally not available after delivery, and there is also "no refund after cancellation" for the unused period according to the verified support data.
So if you cancel halfway through a billing cycle, do not expect a pro-rated return for the remaining days. Most users should go in assuming the answer will be no unless there was a clear billing problem or technical failure.
A refund may be issued within 30 days of the charge date if you experienced documented technical failures that prevented the service from functioning as described. That is the strongest refund route in the available data, and the word documented matters.
If the app failed to process audio, blocked access to paid minutes, or charged you while the core service did not work, collect screenshots, error messages, and receipts. Without evidence, refund requests are much harder to win.
Use the same support email, [email protected], and send a short factual message. Include your account email, charge date, amount, device used, and a clear description of the technical issue within 30 days from billing.
If your purchase was through Apple or Google Play, use their refund system too, because the payment processor may be Apple or Google rather than Itranscribe itself. For web billing, email support and attach all proof in one message to avoid delays.
In the Philippines, there is no general cooling-off period for all digital subscriptions under the Consumer Act of the Philippines, Republic Act No. 7394. That means you usually cannot rely on a broad automatic cancellation window just because you changed your mind.
If the charge was unauthorized or continued after cancellation, you can dispute it with your bank, card issuer, GCash, or Maya. Under BSP complaint practice, cardholders often have up to 60 days from the statement date to raise a dispute, and DTI can also handle online consumer complaints under RA 7394. Keep screenshots of your cancellation confirmation because that is the evidence you will need.
The Terms say your account automatically renews within 24 hours unless you cancel (itranscribe.com). No minimum commitment duration is specified, which is good news if you only want one month, but you still have to stop the renewal yourself.
There is also no cancellation fee and no early termination fee found in the available terms data. So the real cost risk is not a penalty fee. It is forgetting the renewal deadline.
The trial clause says Itranscribe may offer a free or reduced-rate trial depending on promotions, subscription type, and term selected. It also says the company may determine eligibility and may cancel or change the trial at any time (itranscribe.com).
The practical part is this: if you start a trial with valid payment details and do not cancel before it ends, regular charges can begin automatically. If you only wanted to test the service, set a calendar alert 2 days before the trial end date.
The Terms do not clearly specify data retention after cancellation, applicable law, or a dedicated dispute resolution process (itranscribe.com). That lack of detail makes documentation even more important if a billing issue appears later.
For Filipino users, the gap means you should rely on your receipts, screenshots, and local complaint channels such as DTI and your payment provider if support does not respond.
Plan | Price (USD / PHP) | Billing period | Included minutes |
|---|---|---|---|
Basic | $8.00 (₱440)* | Monthly | 120 minutes |
Professional | $16.00 (₱880)* | Monthly | 360 minutes |
Agency | $32.00 (₱1,760)* | Monthly | 900 minutes |
Prices are approximate, converted from USD at the rate of 1 USD ≈ 55 PHP. Check the official website for the exact local amount and app store billing total.
The cheapest recurring plan is Basic at $8.00 (₱440)* per month, while the most expensive is Agency at $32.00 (₱1,760)* per month (itranscribe.it). If you use transcription heavily, Agency gives more minutes overall, but Basic is enough for occasional lectures, interviews, or short meetings.
There is also a prepaid option with 30 minutes for $3.00 (₱165), but it is not a recurring subscription tier. If you barely use transcription every month, the prepaid route may be cheaper than forgetting to renew a monthly plan.
No annual savings are published in the verified pricing sources, so there is no confirmed discount comparison between monthly and yearly billing. There is also no published cancellation fee in the terms data.
Your card or app store may apply taxes, rounding, or currency conversion, so your final peso charge can be slightly above the rough figures shown here. That small gap is normal, but a full extra renewal is not. Watch for that on your statement.
For users in the Philippines, the main law is the Consumer Act of the Philippines, Republic Act No. 7394. If Itranscribe billed you after cancellation, used misleading claims, or failed to provide the promised service, you can raise a consumer complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry, or DTI.
There is no general cooling-off period for all online subscriptions under RA 7394. A 7-day cooling-off rule exists for some specific transactions such as certain door-to-door sales, but that is not a blanket rule for software subscriptions.
You have a stronger case if there was misrepresentation, fraud, unfair terms, or a breach of warranty. In simple terms, if the service did not work as advertised, or if you were misled into subscribing, you can ask for cancellation and possibly a full or partial refund.
This matters for Itranscribe because its own refund policy is narrow. If support denies a refund even though there was a real service failure, your next step is not to argue in circles by email for weeks. Move the complaint to DTI or your payment provider with proof attached.
Start by sending one final written complaint to Itranscribe support with your evidence. Give a short deadline such as 5 business days for a response. If nothing useful happens, file with DTI and also contact your bank, GCash, Maya, or card issuer for a billing dispute if a charge is involved.
DTI handles consumer complaints for online subscriptions and service issues under RA 7394. BSP is relevant for payment disputes involving banks, cards, and regulated payment providers.
For Itranscribe specifically, DTI is the better route for misleading service or refund issues, while BSP-linked complaint channels help when the problem is an unauthorized or continued charge on your financial account.
Overall rating trend: 0 positive and 1 negative review in the available cancellation-related sample. That is a very small sample, so it is not enough to judge the whole service, but the only recorded cancellation review is negative and points to a failed cancellation experience.
My reading is straightforward: cancellation looks possible, but the process is less transparent than it should be. That fits the local pain points too, especially difficulty finding support contact information and the lack of live chat.
Theme | Frequency | Typical example |
|---|---|---|
Cancellation trouble | High | Request not processed |
Card billing worry | High | Charge still attempted |
Support limits | Medium | No live chat |
Source | Rating | Main topic | Sentiment |
|---|---|---|---|
TrustPilot | 1/5 | Ease of cancellation | Negative |
Since only negative cancellation feedback was available, honesty matters here. There is no balanced positive cancellation review in the supplied data. On the positive side, the official sources do provide real cancellation routes for web, App Store, and Google Play, which is better than services that publish none at all.
Prepare your evidence before contacting support or opening the app store subscription page. This saves time if you need a refund or a billing dispute later.
If you are asking for a refund within the 30-day technical failure window, send all proof in one message. Scattered follow-ups often delay support handling, especially when no live chat or phone hotline exists.
Once cancelled, save the confirmation email, the app store cancellation screen, or the sent email timestamp if you used the web route. Then check your next bank, GCash, Maya, or credit card statement for at least 1 full billing cycle.
This step sounds basic, but it is where many users drop the ball. If a charge reappears and you have no proof, your dispute becomes harder.
If you subscribed through Apple or Google Play, emailing Itranscribe alone may not stop billing. A common real-world scenario is sending a support email, getting no clear reply, and then seeing the subscription renew in the app store anyway.
Fix: match the cancellation route to the billing owner. App Store subscriptions must be cancelled in iPhone Settings. Google Play subscriptions must be cancelled in Google Play.
Itranscribe says auto-renewal can happen within 24 hours unless you cancel (itranscribe.com). If you wait until the last minute, you risk missing the cutoff and getting billed for another cycle.
Fix: cancel at least 2 days before your renewal date and save proof immediately. That buffer is especially helpful when support hours are not published.
The available refund data says no refund after cancellation for unused time. Many users assume monthly software plans work like a prorated utility bill, but that is not how this service presents its refund policy.
Fix: use the paid period you already covered, but do not count on getting money back for the remaining days unless there was a documented technical failure within 30 days of the charge.
The negative review in the available data mentions a failed response to cancellation and continued charge attempts. That is exactly why screenshots and timestamps matter.
Fix: save the screen that says cancelled, the support email you sent, and any reply confirming the end date. Put them in one folder with your receipts.
Deleting the app from your phone does not end a recurring subscription. This mistake is common with SaaS apps and often leads to surprise charges 1 month later.
Fix: after uninstalling, open your App Store or Google Play subscriptions page and confirm that Itranscribe no longer appears as active.
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 best proof |
The best method depends on where you originally subscribed. Web users should use email support and the contact page. iPhone users should cancel in Apple settings. Android users should cancel in Google Play. Registered mail is slower but useful if you want extra proof.
No dark patterns were specifically identified in the available research, but the weak point is still support visibility. If you are in a hurry, rely on the payment channel that controls the billing.
Once you cancel, save proof on the same day. Screenshot the confirmation, note the expected end date of access, and set a calendar reminder for the day before your next normal renewal date.
If you cancelled by email, wait for written confirmation. If no response arrives within a few business days, follow up using the same message thread so the timeline stays clear.
Check your bank, credit card, GCash, or Maya statement for at least 1 more billing cycle after cancellation. If any unauthorized or continued charge appears, contact the payment provider immediately and prepare a chargeback request.
In the Philippines, users can dispute unauthorized or continued charges through their bank or e-wallet provider, and cardholders often have up to 60 days from the statement date to dispute a transaction. DTI handles the consumer complaint side under RA 7394, while BSP-related channels matter for payment disputes.
If you are cancelling because value or support fell short, there are workable alternatives. GoTranscript is a human transcription service priced from $0.90 per minute (about ₱49.50). Rev starts at $1.50 per minute (about ₱82.50), and Otter.ai offers automated transcription from $8.33 (about ₱458.15) per month billed annually.
For content creators, VEED bundles subtitle and video editing tools from $12 (about ₱660) per month. For meeting-heavy teams already paying for Zoom, Zoom AI Companion may make more sense because transcription is built into the wider workflow.
No physical cancellation address was found in the verified sources for Itranscribe. That means the process is effectively online only, with email support at [email protected] and store-based cancellation through App Store or Google Play where applicable.
If you prefer paper evidence, you can still prepare a formal cancellation letter, but without a verified postal address in the official sources, the practical route remains email plus store cancellation if the subscription was bought through Apple or Google.
Use the contact page and the support email published in the verified data. Those are the strongest documented channels currently available for Filipino users trying to stop renewal or raise a refund request.
