How to cancel TradeZella
Cancel via web (official method)
- Sign in to TradeZella on the web.
- Go to your profile → Settings → Subscription tab.
- Click "Cancel My Subscription". Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle and the subscription will not auto‑renew. TradeZella cancellation guide
Other platforms and support
- If you purchased via Apple App Store or Google Play, follow your device’s subscription settings for cancellation and consult the platform’s help if needed.
- There is no verified TradeZella guide for App Store or Google Play cancellations; contact TradeZella support if you need help or proof of cancellation.
What happens when you cancel
Access and billing
After cancellation via the web, your account remains active until the end of the current billing cycle.
The subscription will not auto‑renew after that billing period; you will retain access for the remainder of the paid period.
Data and account state
Your journals, backtests and account data typically remain available while your paid access remains active.
Export any data you need before the subscription expires to avoid loss of convenient access to premium features.
Will I get a refund?
Company policy
TradeZella’s published guidance and third‑party summaries indicate that payments are final and TradeZella does not offer refunds. There is no free trial offered in the company material.

Exceptions and platform purchases
- If you purchased through Apple or Google, refunds may be handled by those platforms; third‑party guidance suggests contacting Apple or Google support to request a refund. Third‑party refund guidance

Your consumer rights in South Africa
Cooling‑off and statutory rights
Under South African consumer protection rules, there is a "cooling‑off" entitlement that can allow cancellation of certain remotely purchased digital services within 14 days.
TradeZella’s public materials do not appear to explicitly acknowledge or provide a published process for this statutory right.
Recommended actions
- If you are in South Africa and wish to rely on local law, contact TradeZella support in writing and reference the 14‑day cooling‑off/right to cancel for digital services.
- If TradeZella refuses, you may escalate to local consumer protection agencies for advice or complaint handling.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Many users praise TradeZella’s customer support responsiveness and the platform’s journaling, analytics and backtesting tools for improving trading discipline.
Examples of positive user comments and support praise are collected on the company’s review pages. Trustpilot reviews
Negative feedback
Users have reported recurring bugs (duplicate entries, formatting issues, backtest execution or replay errors) and occasional syncing or data accuracy problems.
Some customers comment that pricing feels high compared to perceived value and raise concerns about manual editability of journal stats affecting trust in screenshots.
Documentation checklist
Before you cancel
- Locate subscription receipts, invoices or payment confirmations (email or payment provider records).
- Note your subscription billing cycle, plan name and the email associated with the account.
At cancellation
- Save the cancellation confirmation (screenshot or email) after you cancel in Settings → Subscription.
- Export any journals, reports or data you want to keep before access ends.
Common mistakes
Expecting an immediate refund
Many users assume cancelling mid‑cycle will produce a refund; TradeZella’s policy and third‑party summaries indicate payments are final and refunds are not provided.
Check your billing cycle and plan terms before relying on a refund.
Downgrading instead of cancelling
Downgrading from Pro to Basic does not trigger refunds; remaining balance is applied to future billing cycles per the plan‑switch guidance.
Purchases made via app stores may require separate cancellation or refund requests through those stores.
