What happens when you cancel
Access and billing
If you cancel during a free trial, access is typically removed immediately.
If you cancel after a paid period has started, access usually remains until the end of that billing cycle.
Renewals and auto‑renew
Canceling stops future automatic renewals; it does not retroactively cancel past charges.
For platform‑billed subscriptions (App Store, Google Play), you must cancel via the platform to stop renewals there.
Data and account deletion
Account deletion removes your profile and content per Punchbowl’s data practices, but retention and recovery policies vary.
Confirm deletion and keep copies of any important invitation or guest data before you delete the account.
Will I get a refund?
Punchbowl refund policy (direct billing)
Punchbowl offers a 30‑day money‑back guarantee on paid subscriptions for direct purchases.
To request a refund you should email [email protected] with account and purchase details.
Official refund information: Punchbowl refund policy.
Platform purchases and exceptions
- Purchases made via Apple App Store or Google Play may require refunds via those platforms.
- Gift cards (physical or electronic) are non‑refundable per Punchbowl policy.

Punchbowl plans and pricing
Where to check current pricing
Pricing and plan details can change; always check Punchbowl’s official website or app for the latest information.
Do not rely on third‑party summaries for exact fees or billing cycles.
Billing notes
Punchbowl offers recurring billing options; verify whether you are on a monthly or annual plan before cancelling.
If you were charged through Apple or Google, check those accounts for plan and renewal information.
Your consumer rights in Singapore
Relevant law
Singapore’s Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA) does not generally mandate a cooling‑off period for digital goods or services.
Nevertheless, Punchbowl’s voluntary 30‑day money‑back guarantee is a consumer‑friendly policy that may be considered in disputes.
Dispute options
If you have a refund dispute, you may raise the issue with the Consumer Association of Singapore (CASE) for mediation.
Keep documentation to support any complaint; CASE can assist when merchant policies are unclear or disputed.
Platform billing
For purchases made via App Store or Google Play, platform refund mechanisms generally apply and are separate from Punchbowl’s direct policy.
Contact the platform’s support if your charge was processed there.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Users often praise Punchbowl for its user‑friendly interface and attractive, customizable invitation designs.
People also value RSVP tracking, reminders, and the ability to manage invites via web and mobile.
Negative feedback
Some users report confusion over free vs paid features and feeling led into subscriptions after designing invites.
Complaints include unexpected charges, surprise annual billing, and occasional difficulty obtaining refunds or cancelling.
Documentation checklist
What to save before you cancel
- Proof of purchase: transaction date, amount, payment method, and receipt.
- Account details: email address used, username, and membership type.
- Cancellation confirmation: screenshots or message showing successful cancellation.
What to include in a refund request
- Clear statement of requested action (refund, cancellation, or both).
- Order ID or transaction reference and supporting screenshots.
- Contact details and preferred resolution timeline.
Common mistakes
Assuming account deletion cancels billing
A frequent error is emailing to delete the account but not cancelling the subscription through the correct billing channel.
Account deletion does not always stop platform‑managed renewals; ensure you cancel via the platform if billed there.
Missing proof and late requests
Not keeping receipts or timestamps can make refunds and disputes harder to resolve.
Delaying a refund request beyond 30 days can reduce your chances under Punchbowl’s voluntary guarantee.
