What is Genially
Overview
Genially is an online platform for creating interactive content such as presentations, infographics, quizzes and educational resources.

The service is delivered as a digital SaaS product with tiered plans and account-based access.
How to cancel Genially
Cancel on the Web (Genially site)
- Sign in to your Genially account and open your Workspace.
- Go to Workspace > Settings and select “Cancel my plan”.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation; cancellation takes effect at the end of the subscription period.
- Note: You must cancel at least 30 days before renewal to avoid automatic renewal.
Cancel via App Store or Google Play
- If you subscribed through Apple or Google, manage subscriptions in the Apple App Store or Google Play subscription settings.
- Genially’s terms state that cancellations for these platform subscriptions are handled by the platform, not directly in Genially.
- Use the platform-specific steps (Apple/Google) to avoid further charges.
What happens when you cancel
Access and features after cancellation
When you cancel, your paid features remain available until the end of the current billing period.
After the subscription period ends, your account will revert to the free plan limits and paid features will be removed.
Renewal and billing effects
Cancellation prevents automatic renewal at the next billing date if done within the platform’s timing rules (web cancellations: at least 30 days before renewal to avoid renewal).
No retroactive refunds are provided for partial unused periods unless Genially grants an exception.
Will I get a refund?
General refund policy
Genially’s terms state that digital content is delivered immediately, so payment is generally non‑refundable.
There are normally no refunds or credits for partial subscription periods.
Exceptions and goodwill gestures
- Genially may consider exceptions on a case‑by‑case basis following an internal refund matrix or compensation process.
- These exceptions are discretionary, not guaranteed, and depend on Genially’s internal assessment.

Your consumer rights in Singapore
Statutory framework
Singapore law generally does not grant an automatic right to withdraw from digital content once it has been delivered.
Genially’s “no refunds” policy for immediately delivered digital content is likely enforceable under this approach.
Practical steps and escalation
- Contact Genially support first to request an exception or explain billing issues.
- If you suspect misleading billing or cannot resolve the issue, escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) for mediation.
Customer experiences
Positive themes
- Users praise Genially for ease of use and strong interactivity for education and presentations.
- The variety of templates, visual appeal and gamification capabilities are commonly highlighted.
Negative themes
- Complaints often relate to subscription billing, unexpected cost increases and confusing presentation of annual vs monthly charges.
- Some users report difficulties getting refunds and limited or slow responses from customer support.
Documentation checklist
What to prepare before contacting support
- Proof of purchase (receipt or billing statement showing the charge).
- Account email, subscription plan name and billing period details.
- Screenshots of billing pages, renewal notices or payment confirmations.
Additional evidence for disputes
- If applicable, record the date you attempted cancellation and any confirmation messages.
- Keep copies of all communications with Genially support and platform receipts (App Store/Google Play).
Common mistakes
Missing the cancellation window
Many users try to cancel too close to renewal and are still charged for the next period.
Remember to cancel via the correct channel at least 30 days before renewal when using the web subscription.
Using the wrong cancellation route
Subscribers who purchased via Apple or Google often attempt to cancel in Genially instead of in the platform store.
Always cancel in the same place where the subscription was purchased to prevent continued billing.
