- Go to Account Management or the Subscription section.
- Hover over the active plan and click "Cancel Plan" to stop further billing.

What happens when you cancel
Access to your account
After cancellation, your subscription will typically remain active until the end of the current billing period.
Access to premium features ends when the paid period expires; your projects and account usually remain accessible on the free tier.
Billing and renewals
Cancelling stops future renewals but does not usually trigger an immediate refund unless eligible under the refund policy.
If you subscribed through Apple or Google, billing and refunds are controlled by those stores.
Will I get a refund?
Standard refund policy
Powtoon offers a 14-day refund window under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2014: you may cancel and request a full refund within 14 days of subscription activation.
Refunds, if eligible, are typically processed within 30 days of the request.
Exceptions and conditions
- No refund if you exported or published a Powtoon during the 14-day period.
- No refund if you created a Powtoon longer than 3 minutes during that period (even if not exported).
- No refund if you used AI generation features five or more times within the 14 days.

What to include in refund requests

Common mistakes
Failing to cancel the correct subscription
Users sometimes cancel the account but not the actual billing subscription (especially with in-app purchases).
Always verify whether your subscription was direct with Powtoon or billed through Apple/Google and cancel in the right place.
Missing refund conditions
Many expect an automatic refund but do not realise creating or exporting content can void the 14-day refund right.
Check the specific conditions (export/publish, >3 minutes, AI usage ≥5) before claiming eligibility.
