What happens when you cancel

Access and service end date

If you cancel an app-store subscription, access typically continues until the end of the paid period set by Apple or Google.

For life insurance policies, cancellation ends the coverage effective the date specified in the confirmation from Ladder.

Data, billing, and confirmations

After cancellation you should receive confirmation from Ladder by email; keep this for your records.

Billing will stop after cancellation is processed; double-check your bank or card statements for final charges and keep evidence of the cancellation request.

Will I get a refund?

30-day free-look (initial refund)

Ladder offers a 30-day free-look: cancel within the first 30 days and you are eligible for a full refund of your first month’s premium for life insurance policies.

See Ladder’s cancellation details here: How do I cancel my policy?

Refunds outside the free-look window

• Outside the 30-day free-look period, Ladder’s published guidance indicates no refunds are provided even if a policy expires naturally.
• App-store subscription refunds for unused portions are generally handled through Apple or Google Play; app-store procedures apply.
• If you believe a billing error occurred, retain all records and contact Ladder support promptly to request investigation.

Ladder plans and pricing

Pricing table

Pricing notes

These ZAR prices are approximate conversions based on an exchange rate (1 US$ ≈ 19 ZAR) and may not reflect actual App Store regional pricing.

The Ladder app does not publish South Africa - specific pricing; App Store or Google Play billed amounts may vary due to local taxes and store rounding.

Your consumer rights in South Africa

Cooling-off and clear information

Under the Consumer Protection Act (South Africa) buyers have rights including cooling-off, clear product information, and fair contract terms.

Ladder’s 30-day free-look aligns with cooling-off principles by allowing a short refund window after purchase of certain policies.

Dispute and refund expectations

• No cancellation fees supports the right to terminate without penalty.
• Refusal of refunds outside the free-look window may still be subject to local consumer law; consumers should verify regulatory alignment and seek dispute resolution if needed.
• Keep written records (emails, confirmations, billing statements) to support any complaint or dispute.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Many users praise Ladder for a fast, easy online application process, competitive pricing, and a user-friendly interface.

Trustpilot reviews commonly describe the platform as modern and straightforward for obtaining life insurance.

Negative feedback

Some customers report long underwriting waits or opaque denials related to medical records and limited transparency.

There are occasional reports of unexpected double billing and pricing changes late in the application process; keep careful documentation.

Documentation checklist

Before you cancel

• Policy number or subscription account ID
• Full name and contact email used to open the account
• Proof of payment (bank statement or payment confirmation)

When requesting cancellation

• A clear cancellation request (email to [email protected])
• Photocopy/photo of ID if requested for identity verification
• Requested effective cancellation date and reason (optional)

Common mistakes

Assuming uninstall cancels subscription

Many users mistakenly think deleting the app stops billing. Uninstalling does not cancel subscriptions or life policies.

Always cancel via the app store or by emailing Ladder and confirm cancellation in writing.

Missing the free-look window

Not cancelling within the first 30 days can forfeit the full first-month refund for life insurance policies.

Check your purchase date and act promptly if you want to use the free-look refund option.
