Cancel Total Adblock: The Right Way
How to cancel total adblock in australia and avoid surprise charges
What total adblock is and why you might want to cancel
Total Adblock is a subscription-based ad blocking service that removes advertisements from your browser and mobile device. The service comes in a free version with basic features, and paid premium plans that promise to block YouTube ads, track your browsing activity, and suppress cookie pop-ups across multiple devices.
Like many subscription services, Total Adblock relies on automatic renewal - meaning your subscription charges continue indefinitely until you actively cancel. Australian consumers often discover that promotional pricing ends and full renewal rates kick in without warning, creating unexpected charges on their credit cards or bank accounts. If you've decided Total Adblock is no longer worth the cost, or you've found a better alternative, Stopee is here to guide you through the cancellation process step by step.
Pricing for total adblock in australia
Understanding what you're currently paying - and what you'll be charged on renewal - is the first step to taking control. Here's the typical pricing structure for Australian customers.
| Plan type | Cost (AUD) | Renewal terms |
|---|---|---|
| Free / basic | A$0 | No charges; limited features only |
| Monthly premium | A$12.99 | Auto-renews monthly; promotional rates may apply to first month only |
| Annual premium | A$79.90 | Most common renewal trap: first-year promotional pricing often drops to a much higher regular rate on renewal |
The annual plan is where most customers encounter billing surprises. A heavily discounted first year (sometimes half-price or less) jumps to the full regular rate on renewal, often without clear warning.
When you should cancel total adblock
You're paying for something you no longer use actively. You've switched to a free ad blocker or built-in browser protection. The renewal charge feels too high compared to alternatives you've researched. You're frustrated by the company's billing practices or customer service. You prefer to manage your digital privacy differently.
Whatever your reason, Stopee recognises that deciding to cancel is your choice - and we're here to make that process as straightforward as possible.
How to cancel total adblock: step-by-step instructions
Total Adblock offers two main cancellation methods depending on how you purchased your subscription.
Cancel total adblock through your online account (fastest method)
If you purchased Total Adblock directly through their website or via email sign-up, this is your quickest route to cancellation.
- Go to the Total Adblock website and log into your account using your email and password.
- Navigate to "My Subscriptions" or "Billing" section (exact menu name may vary).
- Find your active subscription and select the option to disable auto-renewal or cancel.
- Pro tip: look for language like "Turn off auto-renew", "Disable recurring billing", or "Cancel subscription".
- Do not simply delete the app - this does not cancel your subscription.
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted. Screenshot or save the confirmation email for your records.
- Verify your bank or card statement 1-2 billing cycles later to confirm no further charges have been applied.
Warning: Disabling auto-renewal is not the same as requesting a refund. You will retain access to your subscription until the current billing period expires - after that date, you lose access but you are no longer charged.
Cancel a total adblock subscription purchased through an app store
If you subscribed through Apple's App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android), you must cancel through that platform, not through Total Adblock's website.
For Apple App Store (iPhone, iPad):
- Open the Settings app on your device.
- Tap your Apple ID at the top of the screen, then select "Subscriptions".
- Find and tap "Total Adblock".
- Select "Cancel Subscription" and confirm.
- You will receive a cancellation confirmation from Apple. Keep this email.
For Google Play Store (Android):
- Open the Google Play app on your device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right, then select "Payments and subscriptions".
- Tap "Subscriptions" and find "Total Adblock".
- Select "Cancel subscription" and follow the prompts.
- Google will send a confirmation email to your registered Gmail account.
Pro tip: App store cancellations take effect immediately for future billing cycles, but you retain access until your current billing period ends. You will not receive a pro-rata refund for time remaining in your current billing cycle unless you pursue a separate refund claim (see below).
Cancel by post (if online methods are unavailable)
If you cannot access your account online or have encountered technical issues, you can cancel by sending a written letter to the company's UK postal address.
- Write a clear cancellation letter that includes:
- Your full name
- Email address associated with your Total Adblock account
- Subscription ID or order number (if you have it)
- Your request to cancel and stop automatic renewal
- Date of the letter
- Send your letter by registered post to the address listed in your original subscription confirmation or terms and conditions.
- Keep a copy of the letter and proof of postage for your records.
- Allow 10-14 business days for the company to process your cancellation and stop billing.
Warning: Postal cancellation is slower and harder to verify than online cancellation. Use this method only if online cancellation fails or your account is inaccessible.
Your consumer rights under australian consumer law
As an Australian consumer, you have legal protections when purchasing subscriptions - even if you voluntarily signed up.
What australian consumer law says about subscriptions
The Australian Consumer Law (Part 3-2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010) sets strict rules for automatic renewal subscriptions. Businesses must obtain your express informed consent before charging you for renewal. If a company fails to obtain clear consent or makes it deliberately hard to cancel, you may have grounds to dispute the charge or claim a refund.
Key protections you have:
- You must give clear, affirmative consent before being charged - a pre-ticked box or hidden auto-renewal is not valid.
- Businesses must provide simple, accessible cancellation mechanisms that match the ease of sign-up.
- You have the right to a refund if the service is not of acceptable quality or fit for purpose.
- If you cancel before your subscription period ends, you may be entitled to a pro-rata refund depending on the circumstances.
How to escalate a dispute with total adblock
If Total Adblock refuses to cancel your subscription or process a refund you believe you're entitled to, escalation is your next step.
- Contact Total Adblock directly in writing (email or registered post) explaining your dispute and what resolution you're seeking. Keep copies of all correspondence.
- If the company does not respond within 30 days or refuses your request, lodge a complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) via their website at accc.gov.au.
- You can also contact your state or territory consumer protection authority - for example, Fair Work Ombudsman (ACT), NSW Fair Trading, Consumer Affairs Victoria, or equivalent bodies in other states.
- If the amount is small, consider disputing the charge directly with your bank or credit card issuer (chargeback process) - many successful refunds for Total Adblock occur this way.
Stopee has seen Australian consumers recover funds through payment disputes when the company's own refund process fails. Document everything and don't hesitate to escalate.
What happens after you cancel total adblock
Cancellation is not instant - and understanding the timeline prevents confusion and unwanted charges.
During your final billing period
You retain full access to Total Adblock features until your current subscription period expires. If you cancel on the 15th of a month and your subscription renews on the 20th, you still have access through the 19th. After the 20th (or your next renewal date), you lose access but you are not charged.
After your subscription ends
Your ads will return to your browser and mobile device. Any advanced features (YouTube ad blocking, tracker blocking, multi-device access) will no longer work. If you want to reactivate, you can re-subscribe at any time, but promotional pricing may no longer apply.
Pro tip: Monitor your bank statement for 30-60 days after cancellation to confirm no surprise charges appear. If a charge does appear after you've cancelled, immediately contact your bank to dispute it.
How to request a refund from total adblock
Cancelling stops future charges but does not automatically trigger a refund for what you've already paid in the current billing cycle.
When you might be entitled to a refund
You cancelled within 14 days of your first charge (cooling-off period in some circumstances). The service was faulty, not fit for purpose, or not as described. You were charged multiple times in error. You were charged after you requested cancellation.
How to request a refund
- Gather evidence: your original confirmation email, the charge on your bank statement, and any cancellation confirmation you received.
- Email Total Adblock's customer service (usually support@totaladblock.com or similar) with a clear request for refund, including your subscription ID and the reason.
- If Total Adblock refuses or does not respond within 14 days, contact your bank or credit card company and request a chargeback (dispute the charge).
- Provide your bank with all evidence of your cancellation request and the company's failure to refund.
Stopee's experience shows that many customers receive refunds faster through their bank's chargeback process than through Total Adblock's own support team. Don't accept silence or rejection - your bank is often your most effective advocate.
Common mistakes consumers make when cancelling
We know how frustrating it is when you think you've cancelled but charges keep coming. Here are the traps to avoid.
Deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
Removing the Total Adblock app from your phone or computer does absolutely nothing to stop your subscription or charges. The subscription lives in your account, not on your device. Delete the app if you want to, but always cancel through your account settings first.
Confusing "disable auto-renewal" with "cancel subscription"
Disabling auto-renewal stops future charges but keeps your current subscription active until the end of the billing period. If you disable auto-renewal on the 1st of a monthly subscription, you will still be charged on the renewal date - but after that charge, no further charges occur. Cancel the subscription entirely if you want to stop it immediately (though you'll usually retain access until the period ends anyway).
Ignoring app store cancellations that don't work
Sometimes app store cancellations fail silently - you think you've cancelled but you haven't. Check your subscription status in the app store settings 2-3 days after cancellation. If it still shows as active, try cancelling again or contact the app store directly.
Not monitoring your bank statement after cancellation
Unexpected charges often appear 1-2 billing cycles after you thought you'd cancelled. Set a reminder to check your statement 30 and 60 days post-cancellation. If a charge appears, dispute it immediately with your bank rather than waiting.
Losing your cancellation confirmation
Always screenshot or save the confirmation email you receive when you cancel. If a surprise charge appears later, this proof of cancellation is your strongest evidence in a dispute.
Should you keep or cancel? a comparison table
Still on the fence? Here's a quick side-by-side to help you decide.
| Reason to keep Total Adblock | Reason to cancel Total Adblock |
|---|---|
| You actively use it daily and YouTube ad blocking matters to you | You rarely use the app or browser extension |
| The renewal price feels reasonable and fits your budget | The renewal price has doubled or tripled compared to your first-year promo rate |
| Your browser or device's built-in ad blocking is insufficient | You've switched to free alternatives that work just as well |
| You value multi-device protection through Total Security ecosystem | You're frustrated with billing or customer service |
If the renewal price is your main concern, remember that Stopee has helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions that no longer fit their budget - and you can always re-subscribe later if you change your mind.

What people say about cancelling total adblock
Customer feedback reveals a consistent pattern: Total Adblock works well for ad blocking, but cancellation friction and surprise renewal charges frustrate users.
Across consumer review sites and forums, recurring complaints include: "Nearly impossible to cancel", "Charged twice in the same week", "Renewal price was triple what I paid in year one", and "Had to dispute it with my bank to get a refund".
On the positive side, users who successfully cancelled often note that the online cancellation method (when it works) is straightforward, and that app store cancellations are more reliable than direct contact with Total Adblock support.
The most common resolution strategy mentioned by satisfied customers: dispute the charge through your bank if Total Adblock won't refund, and the bank usually sides with the consumer.
