Can I cancel at any time?

For our Monthly Plan, there is no long-term commitment and you can cancel your subscription at any time. In order to receive a full refund, you must cancel your subscription within 7 days of signing up. Any subsequent months, unfortunately, can’t be refunded if you decide to cancel further into your monthly subscription.

However, if you sign up for the Yearly Plan, you’ll get a significant discount for committing to a full-year subscription in advance. But if you change your mind during the first week, just use our 7-day money-back guarantee. This gives you enough time to play around with the software and see if it’s something you’ll need for the entire year. And if you decide to cancel your subscription or switch to our Monthly Plan, we understand!

How does the money-back guarantee work?

If you’re not happy with your Pro or Unlimited account, you have 7 days from the moment you upgraded to receive a full refund. It’s that easy.
