What is Pitch
Pitch is a team presentation app with a freemium model
Pitch is a presentation software service built for teams that want cloud-based slide creation, sharing, and collaboration. The company behind the service is Pitch Software GmbH, and its listed headquarters address is in Berlin, Germany at Joachimstraße 7, 10119 Berlin.
For users in the Philippines, the practical point is simple: Pitch runs as a recurring subscription service with automatic renewal at the end of each billing cycle, and it also offers a Free plan at ₱0.00. If you paid for Pitch and want to stop future charges, you need to cancel before the next billing date so the subscription does not renew again (pitch.com).
What people usually pay for on Pitch
The paid value in Pitch is mostly about team capacity and advanced sharing. The official pricing structure includes Free, Pro, and Business tiers, with Pro at about $25.00 (₱1,250.00) monthly and Business at about $100.00 (₱5,000.00) monthly based on the pricing data provided.
Free already includes unlimited presentations, custom templates, branded sharing links, PDF exports, and 100 one-time AI credits. Pro adds 2 paid seats, up to 25 workspace members, 25 advanced links with analytics, and shared pitch room features, while Business expands this to 5 paid seats, up to 200 workspace members, and unlimited advanced links and pitch rooms (pitch.com).
How Pitch works in the Philippines
Pitch does not publish Philippines-specific payment channels like GCash or Maya in the verified source set, and the published pricing page is based on foreign currency before conversion to PHP. So if you are subscribing from the Philippines, expect pricing to be shown primarily in foreign currency on the official site, even if this guide converts it into peso for clarity.
Here is the thing: Pitch is usable in the Philippines, but its support hours follow Central European Time, listed as Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. CET. That means replies may land late afternoon or evening Philippine time, and this delay matters if you are trying to cancel close to your renewal date (help.pitch.com).
Why some users decide to cancel
Many users cancel because the Free plan is already generous enough for solo work, while the paid plans make more sense for teams that need analytics, shared rooms, and more member capacity. If you only needed Pitch for one proposal deck or one campaign presentation, the jump from ₱0.00 to about $25.00 (₱1,250.00) per month can feel steep.
Some users also move to Canva, Google Slides, or Microsoft PowerPoint after canceling because those tools may fit local workflows better. Canva is especially common in the Philippines because of its broad template library and familiar design tools, while Google Slides is often enough if your team already uses Google Workspace.
How to cancel Pitch without getting charged again
Do these checks before you click cancel
A lot of frustration starts when people cancel without saving proof. Users have reported continued charges after trying to stop the service, so before doing anything, take a screenshot of your current plan, workspace name, billing page, and the next renewal date shown in your account or invoice record (trustpilot.com).
Also export or save any important presentations, PDFs, links, or analytics you still need. Pitch says that after cancellation you keep access until the end of the current billing cycle and then revert to the free plan, but it does not clearly specify a post-cancellation data retention policy in the verified terms, so do not assume every paid feature or workspace setting will stay available forever (pitch.com).
The exact web cancellation path inside your account
If you subscribed directly on the web, the official cancellation path is short. Click your workspace name, select Billing, open the Subscriptions tab, click Cancel subscription, choose a cancellation reason, and confirm the request (help.pitch.com).
The truth is, Pitch’s process is not hard on paper, but timing matters. Because subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle, cancel at least one full day before your billing date in Philippine time, not just a few minutes before midnight Berlin time, to lower the risk of an extra renewal posting (pitch.com).
- Open your Pitch workspace on the web or desktop app.
- Click your workspace name.
- Select Billing.
- Open the Subscriptions tab.
- Click Cancel subscription.
- Select a reason.
- Confirm the cancellation.
- Save the confirmation screen immediately.
How to cancel if you subscribed through App Store or Google Play
If you started the subscription through Apple or Google, cancel inside that store, not just inside Pitch. This is one of the most common mistakes with app subscriptions, and it often leads to users thinking they canceled when the store-level renewal is still active.
For App Store on iPhone or iPad, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, select Subscriptions, find Pitch, and tap Cancel Subscription. For Google Play on Android, open Google Play Store, tap the menu icon, choose Subscriptions, find Pitch, and tap Cancel Subscription (help.pitch.com).
- App Store path: App Store > Profile icon > Subscriptions > Pitch > Cancel Subscription
- Google Play path: Google Play Store > Menu > Subscriptions > Pitch > Cancel Subscription
- Take a screenshot of the final confirmation page in the store.
- Check your email for Apple or Google cancellation confirmation.
Email, help bubble, and postal mail if the account path fails
Pitch does not list a customer service phone number in the verified support material. Support is available through the help bubble in the bottom right corner of the web or desktop apps, and by email at [email protected], with typical response times of a few hours during Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. CET (help.pitch.com).
If the messenger does not appear, an ad blocker may be hiding it. That detail matters because some users think support is unavailable when the tool is simply blocked in the browser. If you want a paper trail outside the app, you can also send a cancellation notice by post to the Berlin address. Some consumers now use a certified digital mail service such as Postclic instead of traditional registered mail because it creates time-stamped proof of sending, receipt, and opening.
What to watch out for during cancellation
No specific dark pattern is documented in the verified data, but there are user reports of unclear cancellation flow and delayed support. That means your safest move is to rely on the in-account cancellation button first, then back it up with screenshots and an email to support the same day if anything looks unclear (trustpilot.com).
Heads up: if you only email support without completing the account-side steps, you may still be billed if the renewal remains active. One Trustpilot reviewer said support told them to cancel online, which suggests email alone may not stop billing if the self-service process is still available (trustpilot.com).
What changes after you cancel the subscription
Your paid access usually stays until the end of the billing cycle
Pitch’s terms say subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing cycle, and if you cancel, you keep access until the current cycle ends. After that, the account reverts to the Free plan instead of staying on Pro or Business features (pitch.com).
A simple example helps. If your Pro plan renews every 15th of the month and you cancel on March 10, you should keep paid access until March 15, then move to Free on March 16. You are stopping the next renewal, not ending access on the same day.
What happens if you do nothing
If you do not cancel, Pitch renews automatically each billing cycle. There is no minimum commitment period specified in the verified terms data, so the practical risk is not lock-in for many months but forgetting to stop the next monthly renewal (pitch.com).
For Philippine users, that means you should set a calendar reminder at least 3 days before the billing date. This is especially useful if your work card, personal credit card, GCash-linked card, or Maya virtual card is used across multiple subscriptions and charges are easy to miss.
Your files and workspace data after cancellation
Pitch does not clearly specify a data retention policy after cancellation in the verified terms summary. Because of that gap, you should treat all important decks, exported PDFs, brand assets, and analytics as something you need to save before the paid period ends (pitch.com).
If you only need a basic workspace after canceling, the move to the Free plan may be enough. If you need analytics history, shared pitch room access, or advanced links for client reporting, export what you can before the final paid day because the terms do not spell out how long those paid-layer records remain accessible.
Pitch refund policy and what you can realistically expect
Pitch says no refund after cancellation
The clearest verified refund fact is also the hardest one for users: Pitch’s legal page states that there is no refund after cancellation. The research data applies this across the general policy, unused period, and billing error scenarios, so do not expect prorated money back for the remaining days in your cycle (pitch.com).
That means if you cancel halfway through a monthly term, you usually keep access until the end date but do not get cash back for unused days. This is a common pain point because many people assume canceling immediately also triggers a partial refund, and Pitch’s policy does not support that.
Your rights in the Philippines if a charge is wrong
In the Philippines, there is no universal cooling-off period for online subscriptions like Pitch. The Consumer Act of the Philippines, Republic Act No. 7394, supports fair dealing and complaint handling, but the verified Pitch terms do not offer a separate withdrawal right for ordinary online signup cases (pitch.com).
If the issue is an unauthorized charge, continued billing after cancellation, or a processing error, your remedy is usually not a standard refund request but a dispute. For cardholders in the Philippines, banks and e-wallet providers often allow disputes within up to 60 days from the statement date under BSP complaint rules for unauthorized or improper charges.
How to ask for a refund anyway
If you still want to try, use a short, evidence-based request. Email [email protected] and include your workspace name, billing email, transaction date, amount charged, last four digits of the card if relevant, and your cancellation screenshot. The support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. CET, and the help bubble inside the web or desktop app is the other official channel (help.pitch.com).
Your best chance is when you can show a specific billing problem, such as being charged after a confirmed cancellation or being unable to access the service you paid for. Success rates appear limited based on the negative user feedback in the verified reviews, so go in with realistic expectations.
When to use chargeback, App Store refund, or Google Play support
If Pitch charged you after you canceled and support does not fix it, contact your bank, credit card issuer, GCash, or Maya right away and ask for a charge dispute or chargeback. In the Philippines, keep your cancellation screenshots, support emails, and statement copy because BSP-related complaint handling depends heavily on evidence and dates.
If the payment was through Apple or Google, start inside the store ecosystem because they control the billing record. Apple users should manage the subscription in App Store and then use Apple’s billing support channels for refund review. Google Play users should do the same through Google Play billing support after canceling the subscription in the Play Store.
Pitch terms that matter before you subscribe or cancel
Auto-renewal is built into the subscription
Pitch’s terms say the subscription auto-renews at the end of each billing cycle. That is the key clause that affects most cancellation complaints, because missing the deadline means another cycle can be charged automatically (pitch.com).
For practical use, treat every paid Pitch plan as recurring until you actively stop it. Do not rely on deleting the app, leaving the workspace, or emailing a general support note without checking whether the billing status in your account or app store actually changed.
No minimum term is specified, but free trial details are unclear
The verified terms data does not specify a minimum commitment duration, which is good news if you only need the service for a short project. It also does not specify free trial terms in the provided research summary, so you should read the checkout screen carefully if any promotional offer appears before paying (pitch.com).
This matters because one reviewer claimed they tried the software using a trial and then faced billing after the trial ended. Since trial conversion details are not clearly summarized in the verified terms block, screenshots of the offer page and cancellation timestamp are especially useful evidence if a dispute starts later (trustpilot.com).
Data retention and legal venue are not clearly stated in the verified summary
The verified terms summary does not specify a post-cancellation data retention policy, applicable law, or dispute resolution forum. That does not stop you from using the service, but it means you should not guess what happens to old workspace data after a downgrade (pitch.com).
In plain terms, save your work before the plan ends. If a client deck, investor pitch, or sales room matters to your team, export it while your paid features are still active instead of assuming the same access will remain on the Free plan.
Pitch plans and pricing in Philippine peso
Current plan table
| Plan | Price (USD / PHP) | Billing period | Main features |
| Free | ₱0.00 | Monthly | Unlimited decks, PDF export |
| Pro | $25.00 (₱1,250.00) | Monthly | 2 paid seats, analytics |
| Business | $100.00 (₱5,000.00) | Monthly | 5 seats, unlimited links |
Which plan costs the most and who is likely overpaying
Business is the most expensive plan at about $100.00 (₱5,000.00) monthly, while Pro sits at about $25.00 (₱1,250.00) monthly. Free costs nothing and still includes unlimited presentations, so solo users who only need polished slides and exports may be overpaying if they are not using analytics, pitch rooms, or team seats regularly (pitch.com).
Pro makes more sense when two paid seats and up to 25 workspace members are actually being used. If your team in the Philippines mostly collaborates through Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or Canva already, Pitch can become a duplicate tool rather than a necessary one.
Billing notes for Philippine users
The verified pricing notes say the peso values are converted from USD at the exchange rate at the time of publication. So your live charge may move slightly depending on exchange rate changes, card foreign transaction fees, or how your bank posts international software subscriptions (pitch.com).
No cancellation fee or early termination fee was found in the verified terms. That is good news because ending the subscription before the next cycle should not trigger a separate exit charge, even though you also should not expect a refund for unused time after cancellation (pitch.com).
Your rights in the Philippines when a Pitch cancellation goes wrong
The local rules that matter most
For users in the Philippines, the main consumer framework is the Consumer Act of the Philippines, Republic Act No. 7394. For a service like Pitch, this law matters most when there is misleading billing, failure to honor cancellation, or unfair handling of a consumer complaint after a paid subscription charge.
There is no universal statutory cooling-off rule for ordinary online subscriptions in the Philippines. A 7 working day cooling-off period is more commonly associated with door-to-door or direct sales, not standard cloud software signups, so you should not assume you can cancel a Pitch web subscription and automatically reverse the charge under a cooling-off rule.
How Pitch’s terms compare with local expectations
Pitch’s terms say auto-renewal applies and no refund is given after cancellation, while Philippine consumer law focuses more on fairness, accurate disclosure, and complaint remedies when billing is improper. So the key question is not whether you changed your mind, but whether Pitch billed you correctly and whether the cancellation process worked as described (pitch.com).
If you were charged after a confirmed cancellation, or if the service failed to provide the paid access you bought, that is where a complaint becomes stronger. Save dated screenshots, invoices, card statements, and the exact wording of the confirmation message because those are the facts DTI, your bank, or your e-wallet provider will look at.
How to file a complaint in the Philippines
Start by sending one concise complaint to Pitch support with your evidence. If there is no satisfactory resolution, you can escalate to the Department of Trade and Industry for an online consumer complaint under RA 7394, and to your bank or e-wallet provider for the payment dispute side.
If the transaction ran through a card or wallet, request a chargeback or dispute within up to 60 days from the statement date where possible. If your issuer is supervised by BSP, you can also escalate unresolved financial complaints through BSP channels after trying the provider’s own dispute process first.
Useful authorities and what they handle
DTI handles consumer complaints involving online services, misleading offers, and seller conduct in the Philippines. BSP is relevant for payment disputes involving banks, credit cards, and e-money issuers such as GCash or Maya when a charge appears unauthorized or continues after cancellation.
Use DTI for the merchant behavior side and BSP or your issuer for the payment side. That two-track approach is often faster than waiting on merchant support alone when the billing date is already on your statement.
What customers say about canceling Pitch
The overall verdict from the available reviews
Based on the verified review set here, cancellation looks difficult rather than smooth. The trend is clear: 0 positive and 3 negative unique reviews about refunds, charge after cancel issues, and weak follow-up, so the sentiment in this sample is fully negative (trustpilot.com).
That does not mean every user has a bad experience. Pitch still offers a clean self-service cancellation path on paper, and the product itself may work well for team presentations. But if something goes wrong, the review pattern suggests support can feel slow or hard to pin down.
Recurring themes
| Theme | Frequency | Typical example |
| Charge after cancel | High | Billed for later months |
| Refund refusal | High | Only one month refunded |
| Slow support | Medium | Weak follow-up |

Individual user comments
- "I signed up for pitch.com and I wanted to cancel my account so I emailed them. I spoke with Elisa on 12/24 and she told me she couldn't find my account. I got charged December, jan, and feb. I didn't get a payment confirmation for any of those months except for feb. Finally, when I got the feb confirmation she said she can only refund me for February. They are running a full on scam at this company." (Trustpilot)
- "I've luckily blocked their payments from my credit card. I tried their software using their trial, realized it was not what I needed. Reached out to support and they just told me I should cancel online. Then tried to bill me after the trial ended." (Trustpilot)
- "I know you can do better and follow up to a request." (Trustpilot)
Your documentation checklist before and after cancellation
What to save before canceling
Before canceling, gather proof that shows exactly what plan you had and when it renews. A simple screenshot pack should include the Billing page, Subscriptions tab, current plan name, renewal date, workspace name, and any recent invoice or receipt.
Also save the work itself. Export important decks as PDF, keep copies of presentation links, and store any analytics or shared room information you may still need for client reporting, because Pitch does not clearly state data retention after cancellation in the verified terms summary (pitch.com).
- Screenshot of Billing page
- Screenshot of current plan
- Screenshot of renewal date
- Copy of latest receipt or invoice
- Exported decks and PDFs
What to keep for refund or dispute requests
If a payment problem happens, evidence wins cases. Keep the transaction date, amount charged, statement screenshot, support ticket number, cancellation confirmation image, and the email address used on the account.
For Philippine users, this is especially useful when raising a dispute with a bank, GCash, Maya, or a credit card issuer. The clearer your proof, the easier it is to show that a continued charge happened after cancellation or that a trial converted in a way you did not expect.
Canceling through the wrong channel
A classic mistake is emailing support when the subscription was actually created through App Store or Google Play. In that case, the store controls the billing, and canceling only inside Pitch support may not stop the renewal.
Solution: match the cancellation channel to the original purchase channel. Web subscription means use the Billing page in Pitch. Apple billing means cancel in App Store. Google billing means cancel in Google Play.
Waiting until the billing day itself
Some users leave cancellation to the last minute, then get charged and spend weeks trying to reverse it. Because Pitch renews automatically each billing cycle, late-night cancellation on the due date can be risky if time zone timing or delayed processing gets in the way (pitch.com).
Solution: cancel at least 24 hours before renewal, and 3 days earlier if you want extra safety. Then take a screenshot showing the subscription status after cancellation.
Expecting a prorated refund for unused days
Many SaaS users assume that if they cancel halfway through the month, the company will return the unused portion. Pitch’s verified policy says no refund after cancellation, including unused period scenarios, so that expectation leads straight to disappointment (pitch.com).
Solution: cancel as soon as you know you will not renew, but plan on using the remaining paid time until the cycle ends. Download what you need before the downgrade to Free happens.
Not saving confirmation proof
Review complaints about continued billing show why proof matters. If you have no screenshot, no confirmation email, and no timestamp, it becomes harder to show that you actually completed cancellation before the charge date (trustpilot.com).
Solution: save the final confirmation screen, email receipt, and a copy of your bank statement. Put a reminder in your phone to verify the next statement after the billing date passes.
Relying on support alone when the self-service path exists
One reviewer said support told them to cancel online, which suggests support may not manually close billing for you when a self-service path is available. If you only wait for a reply, the renewal can still happen.
Solution: use the in-account cancellation flow immediately, then contact support only to document the issue or confirm the result. That gives you both the fastest route and the strongest paper trail.
A side by side recap of your cancellation options
Comparison table
| Method | Notice period | Fee | Difficulty |
| Web/account | Before next billing | No fee found | Easy, direct path |
| App Store (iOS) | 5-10 business days | No fee found | Higher, better proof |
| Google Play (Android) | Before next billing | No fee found | Medium, store managed |
The key takeaway from the table
The best option depends on where you bought the subscription. Direct web purchases are fastest to stop inside the Pitch Billing page, while App Store and Google Play are better when Apple or Google handled the payment because the store confirmation gives you a stronger billing record.
No cancellation fee or early termination fee was found in the verified terms. The real risk is not a penalty fee but missing the renewal cutoff and then having to argue over a charge that already posted (pitch.com).
What to do right after canceling so the charge does not come back
Your immediate post-cancellation routine
Right after you cancel, check for a visible confirmation on screen and in email. Take one screenshot of the final status, one screenshot of your billing page, and add a calendar reminder for the day after the next expected renewal date.
This small routine saves a lot of stress. If the charge does not appear, you can archive the proof. If a charge does appear, you already have the evidence package needed for support, DTI, or your bank.
How long to monitor your bank, card, GCash, or Maya records
Monitor at least the next statement cycle after cancellation, and ideally the following month too if the billing history has been messy. Look for the exact merchant name, the same amount as the last Pitch charge, and any foreign exchange conversion differences that may make the amount look slightly different in peso.
If an unauthorized or continued charge appears, contact your bank, card issuer, GCash, or Maya and request a dispute or chargeback. In the Philippines, cardholders often have up to 60 days from the statement date to dispute a transaction under BSP-related banking practice, so act quickly and attach your cancellation proof.
Alternatives if you still need a presentation tool
If you cancel Pitch but still need a similar tool, Canva is the easiest local-style alternative for many users in the Philippines because it combines presentation templates, design assets, and a familiar editor. Its Pro plan is listed at about $12.99 monthly, roughly $12.99 (₱650) before issuer conversion fees.
Google Slides is the simplest low-cost option if your team already lives in Google Workspace, while Microsoft PowerPoint remains the strongest choice for traditional business decks and offline editing. Prezi and Zoho Show are also available if you want a different presentation style or a Zoho-based workflow.
Useful links
Pitch cancellation address and when to use it
The physical company address
If you want to send a written notice by mail, use the company’s registered headquarters address:
- Pitch Software GmbH, Joachimstraße 7, 10119 Berlin, Germany
This is not presented in the verified sources as a cancellation-only address, but it is the company address available in the service context provided for this guide. For most users, the online account route is still faster and easier to prove.
Should you cancel online or by mail
For ordinary subscription cancellations, the fastest method is the web account path or the relevant app store path. Postal mail is useful when you want an extra paper trail for a dispute, especially if support is unresponsive or the account interface is unavailable.
If you do send mail, include your billing email, workspace name, last charge date, and a direct statement that you are canceling the recurring subscription. Then keep a copy of the letter and the delivery proof together with your screenshots and bank records.
