What is Flodesk
Overview
Flodesk is an email-marketing SaaS that helps users design emails, build workflows and manage subscribers with a strong focus on visual templates and simplicity.
It is subscription-based and used by small businesses, creators and marketers who prioritise design and ease of use.
Core features
Main features include drag-and-drop email design, automation workflows, audience management and checkout/commerce tools for selling digital products.
Flodesk offers multiple plan tiers (legacy and newer tiered plans) and is billed monthly or via app-store subscriptions where regional rules may apply.
How to cancel Flodesk
Cancel via the web app
- Log into Flodesk on the web.
- Click your avatar, select Account settings → Plan + billing → "Cancel or Downgrade".
- Follow on‑screen prompts to confirm cancellation; subscription remains active until the end of your billing cycle.
- You can reverse the cancellation in your account before it takes effect.
For step-by-step instructions, see a user guide here: Postclic: How to cancel Flodesk.
Cancel via app stores
- If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, you cannot cancel within Flodesk's website.
- Contact the App Store or Google Play subscription settings to manage or cancel those subscriptions.
- If you need help, contact Flodesk support for guidance on store-purchased subscriptions.
What happens when you cancel
Access and features after cancelling
Your Flodesk subscription remains active until the end of the current billing period, so you retain access to emails and workflows during that time.
After the billing period ends, paid features and sending privileges will stop unless you re‑subscribe.
Data and account retention
Flodesk retains account data per its policies; you should export contacts, emails and assets before closure if you want local copies.
If unclear, contact Flodesk support to confirm data retention timelines before cancelling.
Will I get a refund?
General refund policy
Flodesk does not advertise an automatic 14-day cancellation or guaranteed refund for subscriptions; cancelling prevents renewal but does not automatically trigger refunds.
Refunds are discretionary and must be requested through Flodesk support; outcome is subject to Flodesk's policies.
Exceptions and special cases
- If Flodesk terminates your account without cause, their Terms of Service state they will refund a pro‑rata portion of any prepaid amounts. See the terms: Flodesk Terms of Service.
- Subscriptions purchased via App Store or Google Play follow those stores' refund and dispute processes rather than Flodesk's web process.
Flodesk plans and pricing

Your consumer rights in South Africa
Cooling-off and statutory rights
South African consumers generally have a 7-day "cooling-off" right for certain online transactions under the Consumer Protection Act, but specifics depend on the sale type and circumstances.
Flodesk does not advertise a statutory 14-day automatic refund; check your payment method and store (App Store/Google Play) rules for local protections.
When Flodesk must refund
- Flodesk's Terms of Service state they will pro‑rata refund prepaid amounts if they terminate your account without cause.
- For subscriptions via third-party stores, refunds and disputes are governed by the store's policies rather than Flodesk's terms.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Many South African and international users praise Flodesk for its intuitive interface, attractive templates and helpful customer service.
See aggregated reviews for recent user sentiment: GetApp ZA reviews, Trustpilot, and Capterra ZA.
Common criticisms
Some users report deliverability concerns (emails flagged as phishing or landing in spam) and limitations around integrations and evolving pricing models.
Other reviews mention mixed experiences with customer support responsiveness and certain account issues; weigh reviews against your needs before deciding.
Documentation checklist
Before you cancel
- Export your contact lists and subscriber data (CSV).
- Download email templates, images and any checkout/commerce records you need.
- Note your billing period end date so you know when access will stop.
If requesting a refund or dispute
- Keep proof of purchase (receipt or transaction ID).
- Document correspondence with Flodesk or the App Store/Google Play.
- Record the reason for refund and any errors or service failures.
Common mistakes
Assuming an immediate refund
Many users expect an automatic refund when cancelling. In most cases cancellation simply stops renewal; refunds are discretionary.
If you need money back, submit a clear refund request with supporting evidence and be prepared for a discretionary outcome.
Not checking where you subscribed
Users sometimes try to cancel via Flodesk when they actually subscribed through Apple or Google; those subscriptions must be managed through the relevant store.
Always verify whether your payment came through Flodesk directly or an app store before following cancellation steps.
