What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

When you cancel a paid membership on the Prodigy site you retain access to premium features until the end of your current paid term.

Billing and renewals

Canceling prevents future auto-renewals but does not automatically trigger refunds. For App Store or Google Play purchases, billing and renewals are managed by Apple or Google.

Account and data

Your Prodigy account, student progress and settings remain accessible as a free account after the paid term ends unless you request deletion from support.

Will I get a refund?

Prodigy refund policy (web purchases)

Prodigy does not issue automatic refunds when you cancel. To request a refund you must contact Prodigy Support via a ticket or live chat and explicitly request one.

Refund windows: within the first 15 days for monthly terms, and within the first 30 days for 6‑month or annual terms.

App-store purchases and refunds

• Refunds for purchases made through Apple App Store or Google Play are handled by Apple or Google under their refund policies.
• Prodigy directs users to the platform (Apple/Google) for refunds when purchase was managed by that store.
• See official guidance: Prodigy: Apple purchases FAQ.

Your consumer rights in South Africa

Cooling-off and statutory protections

South African consumer law (including the Consumer Protection Act) can give buyers certain rights such as a cooling-off period for online or recurring services, and protection against unfair contract terms.

When Prodigy policy and law differ

Prodigy’s stated refund windows (15/30 days) are part of its policy, but statutory consumer protections may provide additional remedies.

If you believe your statutory rights apply, consider contacting local consumer advice services or the National Consumer Commission for clarification and next steps.

• See wider user reviews: Trustpilot: prodigygame.com.

Documentation checklist

What to prepare before contacting support

• Account email/address used for Prodigy and the child’s username.
• Order date, transaction ID or receipt, and payment method (card, Apple ID, Google Play).
• Screenshots of billing or subscription pages showing charges or renewal dates.

How to present your request

• State clearly whether you want to cancel, request a refund, or both.
• Include concise dates and attach any proof of purchase to speed up resolution.

Common mistakes

Canceling in the wrong place

Users often try to cancel inside the Prodigy app on iOS or Android; Apple and Google require cancellation through their subscription settings instead.

Assuming cancelling equals refund

Another frequent mistake is assuming canceling automatically refunds the latest charge. You must request a refund separately via Prodigy Support or via the App Store/Google Play channels as appropriate.
