Manage Recime

How to cancel recime and protect your recipe data

What recime is and why you might want to cancel

Recime is a recipe management app that lets you save, organize and plan meals by collecting recipes from social media, websites and personal input. The app offers both free and premium subscription tiers with features like grocery lists and meal planning tools designed to make recipe discovery and meal preparation easier.

You might cancel Recime if the premium features don't match your cooking habits, you've found a competitor that works better for you, or you want to reduce your subscription costs. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to walk you through the cancellation process step by step and make sure you understand your rights as a Canadian consumer.

When cancellation makes sense

Cancel your Recime subscription if you realize the premium features (grocery planning, advanced meal prep tools) don't justify the monthly cost for your household. You should also cancel if you've switched to a different meal planning app, stopped cooking from saved recipes, or simply want to use the free version instead. Stopee recommends reviewing your actual usage before you decide to cancel, since you can downgrade to the free plan without losing your saved recipes.

When you might want to keep it

Keep your Recime subscription if you actively use the meal planning and grocery list features multiple times per week, or if the app has become central to how you organize your kitchen. If you're on a free trial and haven't yet tested the premium features, extend your trial period rather than cancel immediately.

Recime pricing and subscription plans

Here are the current Recime subscription options available to Canadian users, based on App Store and Google Play listings.

Pro tip: Check your confirmation email when you first subscribed to confirm exactly which billing cycle you chose. If Recime charged you $49.99 instead of $9.99, you may have selected an annual plan without realizing it. Stopee recommends keeping that email for your cancellation request.

How to cancel recime on iOS (Apple app store)

If you subscribed to Recime through the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad, follow these steps to cancel before your next billing date.

1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app (grey icon with gears).
2. Tap your name at the top of the screen.
3. Select Subscriptions.
4. Find and tap Recime in the list.
5. Tap Cancel Subscription or Cancel Free Trial (wording depends on your account status).
6. Confirm the cancellation when prompted.

What happens next: Apple will stop charging you after your current billing period ends. You keep access to all premium features until that date, then your account reverts to the free version. Your saved recipes remain in your account.

Warning: If you don't see the Cancel option, your subscription may have already expired or been cancelled. Check the subscription details page to confirm your status.

IOS cancellation troubleshooting

If the Cancel button doesn't appear, make sure you're logged into the correct Apple ID (the one you used to buy the subscription). If you changed Apple IDs since you subscribed, you'll need to use the original ID to cancel. Stopee also recommends clearing your Settings app cache: go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage, find Settings, and offload then reinstall the app.

How to cancel recime on android (Google play)

Android users who subscribed through Google Play follow a similar but distinct process to cancel their Recime subscription.

1. Open the Google Play app on your Android device.
2. Tap the profile icon (top right corner).
3. Tap Manage your Google Account.
4. Select the Subscriptions tab (or go directly to Menu > Subscriptions if available).
5. Find Recime in your list of active subscriptions.
6. Tap Cancel Subscription.
7. Follow the prompts to confirm cancellation.

Pro tip: Google Play will ask you why you're cancelling. Your feedback helps Recime improve, but skipping this step won't affect your cancellation. You can cancel immediately without providing a reason.

Timeline: Your cancellation takes effect immediately. You retain access to premium features for the remainder of your billing period. After that date, your account automatically converts to the free version.

Android cancellation troubleshooting

If you see "Recime" spelled differently (such as "ReciMe" with mixed capitalization) in your subscription list, that's the correct entry-tap it anyway. Google Play sometimes displays subscription names inconsistently. If you've lost access to the Google account you used to subscribe, contact Google Play support directly to regain control of that subscription.

How to cancel recime if you paid directly via stripe

Some users purchase Recime subscriptions directly from the app using Stripe (Recime's payment processor) rather than through Apple or Google. If this is you, follow these steps.

1. Open the Recime app on your phone or computer.
2. Go to Settings or Account (look for a gear icon or profile icon).
3. Select My Subscription or Manage Subscription.
4. Tap or click Cancel Subscription.

Alternative method (via customer portal): Recime sends a customer portal link to your registered email address. Check your inbox (including spam folder) for an email from Recime or Stripe with the subject line "Manage Your Subscription" or similar. Click that link and select Cancel from the portal interface.

If you can't find the link: Email support@recime.app with your registered email address and request a new customer portal link. Include "Subscription Cancellation" in the subject line so the team prioritizes your request.

Direct payment cancellation timeline

When you cancel via the Recime app or customer portal, the system processes your cancellation immediately. You'll receive a confirmation email from Stripe within 24 hours. You retain access to premium features through the end of your current billing cycle-Stopee emphasizes that cancellation does not cut you off immediately.

What happens after you cancel recime

Understanding what occurs after you hit the cancel button helps you avoid surprises and plan your next steps.

Your access and account after cancellation

After you cancel, your Recime account remains active but switches to the free version. All your saved recipes, meal plans and grocery lists stay in your account and remain accessible. You lose access to premium features (advanced filters, unlimited meal planning, export tools) but keep the core functionality of the free plan. Your account data persists unless you deliberately delete your account-cancelling the subscription does not erase anything.

Important distinction: Cancelling your subscription is separate from deleting your account. Stopee warns that if you delete your Recime account, you lose all your saved recipes permanently. Delete your account only if you're certain you won't use Recime again in any form.

When the cancellation takes effect

You stop being charged on your next billing date, not immediately. If you cancel on the 15th of the month but your subscription renews on the 20th, you will be charged one more time on the 20th. Once that charge posts, your subscription officially ends and reverts to free access. Always cancel at least 5 days before your renewal date to avoid an unwanted charge.

Pro tip: Set a phone reminder for 5 days before your renewal date so you have a buffer to cancel if you change your mind or forget.

Refund policy and how to request your money back

Recime's official policy states that in-app purchases are final and refunds are granted only at the company's discretion. However, Canadian consumer protection law gives you stronger rights in certain situations.

Refund requests through apple

If you subscribed through the App Store, Apple handles your refund request-not Recime. You have up to 90 days from the date of purchase to request a refund for an accidental charge or unused subscription.

1. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com (Apple's problem reporting portal).
2. Sign in with your Apple ID.
3. Select the Recime charge you want to refund.
4. Choose a refund reason (e.g., "Accidental purchase," "I didn't authorize this charge," or "I didn't use the service").
5. Tap Submit.

Alternatively, visit getsupport.apple.com and initiate a refund request through Apple Support.

Timeline: Apple reviews refund requests within 5 business days. If approved, the refund appears in your account or on your card within 5-10 additional business days.

Refund requests through google play

Google Play allows refunds within 48 hours of purchase for most app subscriptions. After that window closes, you must contact Google Play support directly.

1. Open the Google Play app.
2. Tap the profile icon and select Manage your Google Account.
3. Select Subscriptions.
4. Tap Recime.
5. Look for a Request Refund option (visible only within 48 hours of the charge).
6. If you're outside the 48-hour window, tap Contact us to escalate to Google Play support.

Refund requests for direct stripe payments

If you paid Recime directly (not through Apple or Google), email support@recime.app with the following information:

• Subject line: "Refund Request"
• Your full name and Recime username
• The date you were charged
• The amount charged (in CAD)
• Your reason for the refund request (e.g., "Accidental charge," "Unused subscription," or "Service did not meet expectations")
• Your transaction ID (from your email receipt)

Recime reviews refund requests manually and may approve or deny them based on their discretionary policy. Stopee recommends being specific about your reason-mentioning "service quality" or "accidental charge" is more likely to result in approval than a generic request.

Pro tip: Keep your original purchase confirmation email. It contains the transaction ID and billing details Recime's support team will ask for.

Your rights under canadian consumer protection law

Canada's Competition Act and provincial consumer protection laws protect you against deceptive marketing and unfair billing practices. If Recime charged you after you cancelled (a billing error), or if the app's features didn't match the description when you purchased, you have the right to dispute the charge with your credit card company or bank. Stopee recommends escalating to your financial institution if Recime denies your refund request unfairly.

Additionally, if you're a Quebec resident, the Law on the Protection of Consumers gives you a 30-day withdrawal right for distance contracts. You can cancel within 30 days of purchase for any reason and receive a full refund. Residents of other provinces may have similar protections-check your provincial consumer protection office website.

Common mistakes when cancelling recime

Many people cancel subscriptions without realizing simple oversights that lead to extra charges or lost data. We understand the frustration-here are the traps to avoid.

Deleting your account instead of cancelling

The single biggest mistake is deleting your Recime account thinking it will cancel your subscription. It doesn't. Account deletion only removes your profile and recipes. Your subscription continues charging until you explicitly cancel it through your app store or Stripe portal. Always cancel first, then delete your account if you want to remove all your data.

Cancelling too close to your renewal date

If your subscription renews on the 20th of the month and you cancel on the 19th, you'll still be charged. Stopee recommends cancelling at least 5 days before your renewal date to ensure the cancellation processes in time.

Using the wrong account or app store

If you subscribed on your iPhone but then try to cancel through your Android device, you won't find the subscription. You must cancel through the same platform and app store where you made the purchase. Check your original purchase email to confirm which store you used.

Not checking for confirmation

After you click Cancel, always wait for a confirmation screen or email. If you don't see a confirmation within 24 hours, the cancellation may not have gone through. Log back in and verify your subscription status.

Cancellation checklist and next steps

Use this checklist to ensure your Recime cancellation is complete and you don't face unexpected charges.

Pro tip: If you requested a refund, keep documentation of your request and all email correspondence. You may need it if you escalate to your credit card company or provincial consumer protection office.

If recime charges you after cancellation

Sometimes cancellations fail silently and you get charged anyway. Here's what to do immediately.

Step 1: verify your cancellation status

Log back into your app store or Recime customer portal. Check whether the subscription shows as "Cancelled" or "Active." If it shows as Active, repeat the cancellation steps and take screenshots to document the process.

Step 2: request a refund from the right source

Contact the app store (Apple or Google) or Recime's support team (support@recime.app), depending on where you subscribed. Explain that you cancelled but were charged anyway. Include the date you cancelled and the date the unwanted charge appeared.

Step 3: escalate if necessary

If the app store or Recime denies your refund, contact your credit card company or bank. Report the charge as unauthorized (since you cancelled the subscription) and request a chargeback. Most financial institutions reverse charges within 10 business days if you can document that you attempted to cancel.

Pro tip: Stopee recommends contacting your financial institution before the cancellation deadline. Many card companies offer extended refund windows if you report the issue quickly.
