What is Litmus
Overview
Litmus is a subscription-based SaaS platform that helps teams create, test, and analyse email campaigns across multiple devices and clients.
The service includes email building tools, automated QA, previews across clients/devices, analytics, and integrations aimed at improving email deliverability and design consistency.
How to cancel Litmus
Cancel via Web (Litmus website)
- Sign in to your Litmus account and go to Settings → Account.
- Scroll down and click either “Pause my subscription” or “Start cancellation.”
- For trials: cancelling ends access immediately, so confirm before you cancel.
- Annual subscriptions: you cannot cancel mid‑term; instead turn off auto‑renew under Invoices & Billing → Edit billing preferences.
App Store / Google Play guidance
- Litmus manages cancellations primarily via its web interface; there is no specific in‑app cancellation path documented by Litmus.
- If you purchased via the App Store or Google Play, follow those platforms’ subscription management and refund processes through your device settings.
What happens when you cancel
Access and service period
If you cancel a paid monthly plan, you typically retain paid access until the end of the current billing period.
For trials, cancelling ends your access immediately.
Renewal and billing
- Turning off auto‑renew prevents the next billing charge for annual plans but does not refund the current term.
- No cancellation fees are normally charged for web subscriptions; paid service continues until period end.
Data and account retention
Account data, email previews, and analytics are usually retained according to Litmus’s data retention policy and terms; export important data before cancelling if you need it.
If you expect to reuse the account later, check the account settings for options to pause rather than fully cancel.
Will I get a refund?
Refunds for web purchases
Litmus generally does not provide refunds or credits for partial subscription periods, upgrades/downgrades, or unused terms, except at Litmus’s sole discretion.
If Litmus terminates your account without cause, you may be eligible for a pro‑rata refund for the unused post‑termination period.
Refunds for App Store / Google Play purchases
If you bought the subscription through the App Store or Google Play, refunds are subject to those platforms’ policies and must be requested through them.
Litmus does not control or process refunds for in‑store purchases; follow the platform-specific refund routes for decisions and timelines.

Your consumer rights in South Africa
Cooling-off and distance sales
Under South African consumer protection law (notably the Consumer Protection Act), consumers often have a 14‑day cooling‑off right for distance or direct marketing agreements.
If a subscription was sold remotely, this cooling‑off period may allow cancellation and potentially a refund depending on circumstances.
Remedies and escalation
If Litmus’s published no‑refund policy conflicts with statutory cooling‑off rights, you may lodge a complaint with the National Consumer Commission or seek specialist legal advice.
Keep records of sales, communications, invoices and cancellation attempts to support any dispute or complaint.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Users praised Litmus for ease of use, effective template building, extensive previews across clients/devices, efficiency gains, and useful analytics.
Some review platforms report generally positive satisfaction and effectiveness despite an initial interface learning curve.
Negative feedback
Other users reported billing problems such as unexpected price increases, difficulty obtaining refunds, and charges after unused trials.
Complaints include delays or refusals to refund unused months and challenges getting timely responses to cancellation requests.
Documentation checklist
Essential documents
- Account email address and username used to sign up.
- Subscription invoices and billing statements showing charges and dates.
- Proof of payment (bank or card statement) for disputed charges.
Optional supporting documents
- Screenshots of account settings showing cancellation or pause options and timestamps.
- App Store/Google Play receipts if purchase was made through those stores.
- All correspondence with Litmus support, including dates and ticket numbers.
Common mistakes
Before cancelling
Many users cancel a trial without realising access ends immediately; always check whether you need to export work or documentation first.
Another common mistake is assuming annual plans can be prorated - annual subscriptions usually cannot be cancelled mid‑term for a refund.
After cancelling
Failing to check subsequent billing is common; monitor your card or bank statement for unexpected charges after cancellation.
Also, not collecting invoices or evidence before the account becomes inaccessible makes refunds or disputes harder to prove.
Comparative recap
Summary table
| Option | Cancellation route | Refund policy | 期間 | Typical price (approx. ZAR) |
| Web (direct subscription) | Settings → Account (Pause or Start cancellation) | No refunds for partial periods except at Litmus’s discretion; pro‑rata only if Litmus terminates without cause | 月額 / 年間 | R9,750 (monthly est.) • R97,500 (annual est.) |
| App Store / Google Play | Manage via device subscription settings; Litmus directs users to account settings | Refunds handled by App Store / Google Play per their policies | 月額 / 年間 | Platform pricing and exchange variations may apply |
Key takeaways
Cancel via the Litmus web account for direct subscriptions and expect access until period end for paid plans.
If you bought through an app store, pursue refunds and subscription management through that platform.
