What is Qrfy
Qrfy is a subscription QR code platform
Qrfy is a SaaS tool for creating dynamic QR codes, tracking scans, and editing linked content after a code is published. The service runs on a paid subscription model with auto-renewal, and its official terms are published at Qrfy terms.
If you are in the Philippines, the tricky part is not creating a QR code. The frustrating part is often billing. Many users complain about unclear cancellation steps, charges that continue after they thought they had canceled, and refund requests that go nowhere. That is exactly why you need to know the billing rules before you click anything.
What people usually pay for
According to Qrfy's published pricing references, paid plans include unlimited dynamic QR codes, multiple download formats, unlimited users, QR analytics, and editing tools. The listed monthly plan rates are about ₱1,770 for the 3-month plan, ₱1,470 for the 6-month plan, and ₱1,170 for the 12-month plan, based on converted pricing references from Qrfy's pricing sources.
In plain language, you are paying for dynamic management and tracking, not just for generating a basic QR image. If you only need a static QR code that never changes, Qrfy can feel expensive. If you need analytics and editable destinations for campaigns, the paid features make more sense.
How Qrfy behaves for users in the Philippines
Qrfy does not publish Philippines-specific billing in pesos on its main terms page, so the PHP figures above are approximate converted prices. Some banks may add a small international transaction fee on top of the base amount, which matters if you used a Philippine credit card, debit card, GCash-linked card, or Maya card for payment.
The good news is that Qrfy's free trial does not automatically become paid unless you actively upgrade, according to its terms. Once you do subscribe, though, the subscription renews automatically at the same date and time as the original purchase unless you cancel at least one day before renewal. That one-day cutoff is the detail many users miss.
How to cancel Qrfy without getting charged again
Checks to do before you cancel
Before you start, log in and look for your next billing date in the billing area. Qrfy's own subscription guidance says you should cancel at least one day before renewal to avoid another charge. If your renewal is tomorrow, do not wait until the last minute.
Take three screenshots before canceling: your current plan, your billing date, and the page that shows the last four digits of the card or the payment channel used. Also save or export any QR code data, campaign links, and analytics you still need. After the paid period ends, Qrfy says you will lose the ability to create, download, edit, or view statistics for QR codes.
Cancel from the Qrfy website account
This is the main method if you subscribed directly on Qrfy. The path given by Qrfy is simple: log in to your account, go to the Billing section, click Cancel Subscription, then confirm the cancellation. The support collection for subscription management is here: Qrfy subscription help.
Once you confirm, save proof immediately. Take a screenshot of the final confirmation screen and keep any email confirmation. If the button is missing, do not delete your account as a substitute. Qrfy's terms say deleting your account does not remove payment obligations for an active subscription.
- Log in to your Qrfy account
- Open the Billing section
- Select Cancel Subscription
- Confirm the cancellation prompt
- Save screenshots and confirmation email
Cancel through App Store or Google Play if that is where you subscribed
If you bought Qrfy through Apple or Google, cancel inside that store, not only inside the Qrfy dashboard. This is a common mistake with SaaS apps. Qrfy lists store-based cancellation steps for both iOS and Android subscriptions.
For iPhone or iPad, open App Store, tap your profile icon, open Subscriptions, choose Qrfy, then tap Cancel Subscription. For Android, open Google Play Store, open the menu or profile area, tap Payments and subscriptions or Subscriptions, choose Qrfy, then tap Cancel Subscription. After that, take a screenshot showing the end date.
Email and registered letter options when the dashboard fails
Qrfy lists [email protected] as its support email. There is no public phone number and no live chat listed, and support hours are not specified. If the cancellation button does not work, send an email from the address linked to your account with your account email, billing date, payment amount, and a clear request to cancel auto-renewal.
You can also send a registered letter if you want stronger proof, especially for a billing dispute. Some users in the Philippines prefer a digital registered delivery service such as Postclic because it creates timestamped proof of sending, delivery, and opening without a physical branch visit. Use this as a backup option, not your only step.
What to watch for during cancellation
No specific dark pattern was confirmed in the source material, but user complaints suggest confusion around when paid access starts and how renewal works. Heads up: if you see wording about keeping access until the end of the current term, that does not mean a refund is coming. It usually only means auto-renewal has been stopped.
The practical rule is simple. Do not leave the page until you see a direct confirmation, and do not assume silence from support means the cancellation is done. If you get charged again, your screenshots will matter much more than a memory of what you clicked.
After you cancel: what stays active and what stops
Your paid access continues until the end of the current term
Qrfy says that if you cancel subscription renewal, your dynamic QR codes remain active until the end of your current subscription period. So if your billing cycle ends on April 30, your paid features should stay available until April 30 even if you cancel on April 10.
This is useful if you still need your campaigns to keep working while you move away from the service. The catch is that the cancellation stops the next renewal, not the current paid period. You are still paying for the already billed term.
What happens if you do nothing
Qrfy's terms say subscriptions renew automatically at the same time and date as the original purchase unless canceled at least one day before renewal. If you subscribed on January 1 at 12:00 pm CET, renewal would happen on February 1 at 12:00 pm CET for a monthly cycle, based on Qrfy's own example.
That means time zone issues can trip you up in the Philippines. CET is behind Philippine Time, so canceling on what looks like the same calendar day locally can still be risky. Give yourself at least 48 hours of buffer if you want zero drama.
Your QR data after the subscription ends
After the paid period ends, Qrfy says you will no longer be able to create, download, edit, or view QR code statistics. If you delete your account, your dynamic QR codes are deactivated and customers can no longer access the content behind them.
That is why exporting campaign info before canceling matters. If a QR code is printed on packaging, posters, menus, or flyers in the Philippines, deleting the account too early can break a live customer journey overnight.
Qrfy refund policy: the hard truth before you ask
General refund rule in Qrfy's terms
Qrfy's published policy is strict: subscriptions are non-refundable, there are no price adjustments for unused months, and canceling before renewal does not entitle you to a refund for the unused portion. The policy also says that even canceling on the same day you signed up does not qualify for a refund.
The truth is, this is tougher than many users expect. A lot of people assume canceling quickly means money back. Qrfy's policy says the opposite. If your payment was valid and the plan was purchased successfully, refund chances are generally low.
Your rights in the Philippines when the service is defective or misleading
Philippine law does not give a general cooling-off period for every online subscription under the Consumer Act, Republic Act No. 7394. But if a service was misrepresented, not delivered properly, defective, or charged unfairly, you may still have grounds to demand a remedy such as refund, correction, or charge reversal.
For Qrfy, that matters if you were billed after canceling, if key features failed, or if the offer was presented in a misleading way. In those cases, do not argue only about "unused time." Focus on defective service, continued billing, or deceptive presentation, because those are stronger complaint grounds.
How to request a refund anyway
Start with [email protected] and write a short, factual message. Include your account email, plan name, charge date, amount, and evidence such as the cancellation screenshot or proof of feature failure. If your issue is a billing error, Qrfy specifically tells users to contact support for review.
- State the exact charge amount and date
- Attach your cancellation confirmation
- Attach card or wallet transaction proof
- Ask for reversal of the specific charge
- Give a reply deadline of 5 business days
Chargeback, card dispute, and store refund routes
If Qrfy refuses and the charge was unauthorized or continued after cancellation, ask your bank, credit card issuer, GCash, or Maya for a dispute or chargeback. In the Philippines, cardholders typically have up to 60 days from the statement date to dispute a transaction under BSP complaint practice. Keep screenshots, emails, and statements together in one folder.
If the subscription was billed through App Store or Google Play, also use the refund or billing dispute tools inside that store because the store controls the payment. Use chargeback as a last resort when merchant support fails and you have strong proof.
Terms that matter before your next renewal hits
Auto-renewal and commitment period
Qrfy's terms say the subscription renews automatically at the same time and date as the initial purchase unless canceled at least one day before renewal. They also say the available commitments are quarterly, bi-annual, or annual, and that partial payments or changes to the contract duration are not possible because of system setup.
For you, this means two things. One, the deadline is strict. Two, choosing a longer plan is not flexible later. If you bought the wrong term, Qrfy does not promise a downgrade or shortened billing period.
Free trial and what it does not do
Qrfy says the free trial does not automatically switch to paid at the end of the trial. You only get charged if you actively upgrade to a paid plan. That is one of the clearer parts of the policy and a useful point if you are trying to reconstruct how a charge happened.
If you were billed, Qrfy's position is that an upgrade decision was made from the account. So when reviewing your records, look for the exact date when the plan changed from free to paid.
Applicable law and dispute handling are not clearly stated
Qrfy's terms do not clearly specify which country's law governs the contract, and they do not clearly explain a dispute resolution process. That lack of detail is not helpful when a Philippines-based user needs to escalate a billing problem.
In practice, if support does not resolve the case, you will likely deal with your payment provider, DTI, or BSP channels instead of relying on a detailed internal dispute system from Qrfy.
Qrfy plans and pricing in Philippine pesos
Current plan table
Plan | Price | Billing | Main features |
3-Month Plan | ₱1,770 monthly | Quarter commitment | Dynamic QR, analytics |
6-Month Plan | ₱1,470 monthly | Bi-annual commitment | Dynamic QR, analytics |
12-Month Plan | ₱1,170 monthly | Annual commitment | Dynamic QR, analytics |
Which plan costs more over time
The highest monthly rate is the 3-month plan at about ₱1,770. The lowest monthly rate is the 12-month plan at about ₱1,170. That means the annual option is around ₱600 less per month than the shortest paid commitment.
Over a year, the monthly-rate difference is significant. If you stayed on a short plan for 12 months at the 3-month rate, you would pay far more than someone on the 12-month rate. This is exactly why users should check whether they are overpaying before a renewal locks in.
Billing notes for Philippine users
The published PHP figures are approximate converted prices, and your final amount can shift with exchange rates. Some Philippine banks also add a small international processing fee. If your card statement shows a slightly higher PHP amount than expected, that may be why.
No cancellation fee was found in the terms. But no fee does not mean no cost. The real cost is that unused months are not refunded once billed.
Your rights in the Philippines if cancellation goes wrong
What RA 7394 can do for you
The Consumer Act of the Philippines, Republic Act No. 7394, does not provide a universal cooling-off period for all online subscriptions. For a Qrfy subscription, that means you usually cannot rely on a simple "changed my mind" argument after payment.
You may have a stronger case if the service was misrepresented, the features failed materially, the billing continued after cancellation, or the terms were unfairly presented. In those situations, RA 7394 is relevant because it protects consumers against deceptive, unfair, and defective transactions.
Cooling-off and withdrawal in plain language
Some transactions in the Philippines, such as certain door-to-door sales, can have a 7-day cooling-off period. That is not a general rule for all digital subscriptions. Qrfy's own terms also do not offer a cooling-off period or a right of withdrawal for subscription purchases.
So the practical takeaway is this: do not expect an automatic refund window after buying Qrfy. If you want money back, you need a specific reason such as billing error, misrepresentation, non-delivery, or an unauthorized renewal.
How to file a complaint
If support does not fix the issue, prepare a simple complaint packet with screenshots, emails, invoices, and card or wallet statements. For consumer complaints involving online subscriptions, DTI is the main public agency to contact in the Philippines. For card and e-wallet dispute handling, BSP and your financial provider matter too.
- Write a short timeline of what happened
- Attach cancellation proof and charge proof
- State the remedy you want, such as refund or charge reversal
- Submit to DTI and your bank or wallet provider
Useful authority contacts
For consumer issues, start with DTI through its consumer complaint channels and regional offices. For payment disputes, contact BSP and your issuing bank, credit card provider, GCash, or Maya within 60 days from the statement date if the charge was unauthorized or continued after cancellation.
Qrfy's terms do not name a governing law or dispute forum, so Philippine users often need to rely on local consumer and payment complaint systems instead of an internal dispute pathway.
What users say about Qrfy cancellation
Overall verdict from available reviews
Overall review trend: 0 positive and 5 negative reviews out of 5 unique reviews. Based on the available review set, cancellation looks difficult rather than smooth. The recurring themes are post-cancellation charges, poor support response, confusing subscription presentation, and refund refusal.
To stay balanced, Qrfy does offer useful QR features, analytics, and editable dynamic links. But in the cancellation and billing area, the available user feedback is clearly negative, and that matches common complaints seen locally such as recurring billing traps, ignored refund requests, and poor customer care.
Recurring themes and source summary
Theme | Frequency | Typical example |
Charge after cancel | 2 reviews | Renewal billed again |
Poor support | 1 review | Emails ignored |
Hidden subscription | 1 review | One-off looked misleading |
Confusing paywall | 1 review | Dynamic code not free |
Source | Rating | Number of reviews |
TrustPilot | 1/5 trend | 5 reviews |
Individual user reports
- "They charged my card for a 3-month renewal without providing the mandatory 15-day prior notice required by Spanish Law." (TrustPilot)
- "Horrible service! requested via email 3 times to cancel my subscription. They refused to do so, then proceeding to charge me for 3 more billing cycles. These thieves stole $90 [approx. ₱5,040] from me and refuse to issue a refund." (TrustPilot)
- "They lure you in with a 'one-off' payment that is actually a high-priced subscription buried in the fine print. They refuse to refund, citing hidden terms." (TrustPilot)

Documents to prepare before and after cancellation
Before you cancel
Save a screenshot of the plan name, billing page, renewal date, and account email. If you have printed QR codes in stores, menus, booths, or marketing materials, export the destination URLs and any analytics you need before the paid term ends.
This matters because Qrfy says you lose editing, download, creation, and statistics access after the subscription period ends. If you delete the account, dynamic QR content becomes inaccessible to customers.
For a refund or dispute request
Prepare the transaction date, exact amount in PHP, billing descriptor from your statement, and the payment method used. Add copies of your cancellation confirmation, support emails, and any screenshot showing that the service failed or the charge continued after cancellation.
If you used a card, include the statement page with the charge visible. If you used App Store or Google Play, include the store receipt and subscription end-date screenshot as well.
After you cancel
Keep the confirmation email and at least one screenshot of the final cancellation screen. Save them in cloud storage or email them to yourself so they are easy to find if a charge appears next month.
Then set two reminders on your phone: one for the expected end of service and another for 3 days after the next usual billing date. That second reminder helps you catch continued charges quickly.
Missing the one-day deadline
Qrfy's terms require cancellation at least one day before renewal. A user who waits until the renewal date itself may already be too late, especially with CET timing involved. The fix is simple: cancel at least 48 hours early and save proof.
This is probably the most expensive mistake because once renewal goes through, Qrfy says the renewed period is not refundable.
Deleting the account instead of canceling the subscription
Some users assume that deleting the account stops billing. Qrfy's policy says it does not exempt you from payment obligations. If you delete first and do not cancel renewal properly, you can end up without access and still face charges for the active term.
The solution is to cancel the subscription in Billing first, confirm it, and only then decide whether you also want to delete the account later.
Using the wrong cancellation channel
If you subscribed via App Store or Google Play, cancel there. If you subscribed directly on the web, cancel in the Qrfy account dashboard. Store subscriptions and direct subscriptions are billed through different systems, and using the wrong path can leave auto-renewal active.
A practical example is an iPhone user who only emails Qrfy but never cancels in App Store. The email alone may not stop Apple's recurring billing.
Expecting a pro-rated refund for unused time
Many people cancel early and assume the unused weeks will be refunded. Qrfy's policy says no refunds and no price adjustments for unused months. So if you cancel halfway through a term, you usually keep access until the end date, but you do not get money back.
The better move is to cancel as soon as you know you will not renew, while still using the remaining paid period to export data and migrate your QR codes.
Not keeping proof when support is slow
Several reviews point to poor support experiences and repeated billing. If you do not keep screenshots, your dispute becomes much weaker. The solution is to document every step, including the date, time, and exact wording of your request.
Think like a claims file manager. One folder with screenshots, receipts, and emails can save you hours if you need a chargeback through your bank, GCash, or Maya.
Qrfy cancellation methods compared
Quick comparison table
Method | Notice period | Fee | Difficulty |
Web/account | Before next billing | No cancellation fee | Easy |
App Store (iOS) | Before next billing | No cancellation fee | Medium |
Google Play (Android) | Before next billing | No cancellation fee | Medium |
Registered mail | 5-10 business days | No cancellation fee | Higher, best proof |
The key takeaway
The web dashboard is the fastest route for direct subscribers, while App Store and Google Play are essential if the billing started there. Registered mail is slower but useful when you want extra evidence for a dispute file.
No single method fits everyone. The right option depends on where you subscribed and how much proof you want in case a charge shows up later.
What to do after canceling and how to watch for new charges
Immediate checks in the next 10 minutes
Right after cancellation, verify that the account shows a non-renewing status or an end date for service. Take a screenshot and save any email confirmation. Then add a calendar reminder for the next expected billing date and another one 3 days after.
If you run live QR campaigns, test a sample code while your plan is still active and begin moving important links elsewhere before the final day of service.
Monitor your statement and dispute fast if needed
Watch your bank, credit card, GCash, or Maya statement through the next billing cycle. If a new charge appears after a valid cancellation, contact the payment provider immediately and ask for a chargeback or transaction dispute. In the Philippines, many card disputes need to be filed within 60 days from the statement date.
DTI handles consumer complaints for online subscriptions under RA 7394, while BSP is relevant for payment-related complaints. Your cancellation screenshots are the core evidence, so do not delete them.
Alternatives if you are leaving Qrfy
If you want to avoid recurring subscription costs, zodQR is positioned as a free dynamic QR option, while Lifetime QR Codes focuses on one-time payment ownership. SurveySensum is a different kind of platform, aimed more at customer experience and feedback tracking for businesses.
For many small Philippine users, the real question is whether you need advanced analytics badly enough to justify Qrfy's monthly cost. If not, a non-subscription or free tool may be easier on the budget.
Useful links
Qrfy cancellation address and when to use it
Physical address on file
If you want to send a written cancellation or dispute notice, use this address:
- 19761 Bixby Dr, Cupertino, California, 95014-3324
This is best used as a backup record for a dispute, especially when email support is unresponsive or you want extra proof alongside screenshots and statement copies.
Online cancellation is still the practical route
For most users in the Philippines, the fastest way is still online through the Billing section of the Qrfy account, or through App Store or Google Play if that is where the subscription was purchased. There is no listed phone support and no live chat, so written proof matters more than real-time conversation here.
If you need a clean paper trail, use both channels: cancel online, then send an email summary to [email protected] the same day. That gives you the best chance of avoiding another renewal and the strongest record if you need DTI, BSP, or a bank dispute later.
