• Apple App Store (iOS): Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions → Otter.ai → Cancel Subscription. Otter cannot cancel App Store subscriptions for you.

What happens when you cancel

Access and features

When you cancel, paid features continue until the end of your current billing cycle.

After the billing period ends your account reverts to the Basic (free) plan and paid limits/features are removed.

Renewals and data

Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled; cancelling stops automatic renewal at the next cycle.

Your transcripts and account data remain available under the Basic plan unless you delete them manually or Otter’s retention policies apply.

Will I get a refund?

Official refund policy

For subscriptions purchased directly from Otter.ai (web), Otter’s Terms of Service state that subscriptions are non-refundable; refunds are not offered for web purchases.

For purchases through the Apple App Store or Google Play, refunds are handled by those platforms, not by Otter.

Possible exceptions and steps

• If you believe the service was defective or misrepresented, South African consumer law may provide remedies despite Otter’s no-refund terms.
• For App Store refunds, request a refund via Apple’s system; for Google Play, use Google’s refund process.

Your consumer rights in South Africa

Relevant statutory protections

South African consumers are protected by the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), which requires a fair deal and quality services.

Statutory rights may include remedies for defective, misrepresented or substandard services even when a vendor’s terms state “no refund.”

How to act if you have a dispute

• Document the issue (dates, screenshots, billing records and communications).
• Contact Otter support first and state your CPA-based remedy request; keep records of responses.
• If unresolved, consider lodging a complaint with the relevant South African consumer protection authority or seeking local legal advice.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Negative feedback

• Common complaints include transcription accuracy issues with accents or background noise and the need for manual corrections.
• Some users report problems with customer service responsiveness, billing issues and difficulties cancelling subscriptions (see Trustpilot).

Documentation checklist

Before you contact support

• Account email and user ID used for the Otter.ai subscription.
• Billing confirmation or receipt that shows the charge and date.
• Screenshot of your subscription page or plan details if available.

If you escalate the issue

• All communications with Otter support (dates and content).
• Records of attempts to cancel (screenshots of cancellation screens or App Store/Google Play cancellation actions).

Common mistakes

Trying to cancel the wrong way

Many users assume Otter can cancel App Store or Google Play subscriptions for them; it cannot.

Always cancel through the platform where you originally purchased the subscription.

Missing the renewal cutoff

Failing to cancel at least 24 hours before the next billing date often results in an automatic renewal charge.

Check your billing date and cancel early to avoid unwanted renewals.

Comparative recap

At-a-glance comparison

Key takeaway

Cancel from the same place you bought to stop renewals; refunds depend on the purchase channel and platform policies.

Document everything if you plan to assert consumer rights under South African law.

After cancelling

Immediate next steps

• Confirm cancellation by checking your account’s Plan tab or your App Store / Google Play subscription status.
• Save receipts and screenshots that prove the cancellation date and the active billing period end date.
