Cancel Benzinga: The Right Way
How to cancel benzinga and protect your refund rights in canada
Understanding benzinga and why you might want to cancel
Benzinga is a financial news and research platform that delivers real-time market data, investment insights, and subscription tools to Canadian traders and investors. The service operates across web browsers, mobile apps, and email newsletters, with premium products like Benzinga Pro and specialty newsletters such as Stocks To Watch.
If you've signed up for Benzinga but no longer find value in the service, or if you're experiencing unexpected charges, you have the right to cancel. At Stopee, we help you understand exactly how to do this while protecting your refund eligibility and avoiding common traps that cost Canadian consumers money.
Common reasons canadians cancel benzinga
Many subscribers cancel because they don't use the platform regularly, prefer free market data sources, or find the subscription cost doesn't align with their trading activity. Others discover that auto-renewal charged them unexpectedly, or they received promotional pricing that reverted to full price. Whatever your reason, Stopee ensures you know your options before you act.
What you need to know before cancelling
Benzinga subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel beforehand. Depending on where you purchased (web, Apple App Store, or Google Play), your cancellation method differs. Most importantly, your refund eligibility depends on the product type and how long you've had your subscription. Cancelling within the refund window can recover your money; missing the deadline often means you lose it entirely.
Benzinga pricing and subscription options in canada
Here's what Canadians currently pay for Benzinga's main subscription products.
| Product | Pricing (CAD) | Billing cycle | Refund window |
|---|---|---|---|
| Benzinga Pro | Approx. C$238-C$244 per year (USD 149 converted) | Annual | 7 days from initial purchase |
| Stocks To Watch newsletter | Varies by promotion; typically C$50-C$100 annually | Annual or monthly | 14 days account credit (not cash refund) |
| Other paid newsletters | Varies by product | Monthly or annual | Generally non-refundable |
| Lifetime subscriptions | Higher one-time purchase | One-time | Non-refundable (except company closure within 5 years) |
| Promotional or introductory pricing | Discounted entry rate | Varies | Final sale; no refund eligibility |
Keep in mind that Benzinga bills many Canadian customers in USD, so your actual CAD charge will fluctuate with exchange rates and include applicable provincial sales tax (HST, GST, or PST). Always verify your exact billing amount before you commit to cancellation.
Your consumer rights as a canadian subscriber
Canada's consumer protection laws give you significant rights when dealing with digital subscriptions.
What federal and provincial law guarantees
Under the Competition Act and provincial consumer protection legislation (such as Ontario's Consumer Protection Act, British Columbia's Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act, and Quebec's Law on Consumer Protection), you have the right to cancel a subscription within a reasonable timeframe if the service fails to meet its stated description.
Additionally, if Benzinga auto-renews your subscription without clear consent beforehand, or if you don't receive adequate notice of the renewal amount and date, you may have grounds to dispute the charge with your bank or credit card issuer. Stopee recommends documenting all communication from Benzinga about renewal terms; these records strengthen your position if you need to escalate a complaint.
Dispute rights if benzinga refuses to refund
If Benzinga denies your refund request despite falling within their stated window, you can:
- File a complaint with your province's consumer protection authority (for example, Ontario: ServiceOntario Consumer Protection, BC: BC Office of the Ombudsperson, or Quebec: Office of the Ombudsman).
- Dispute the charge directly with your credit card company or bank, citing unauthorized or failed-service claims.
- Escalate to the Competition Bureau if you believe Benzinga engaged in misleading advertising or false refund claims.
Stopee advises you to keep all emails, cancellation confirmations, and billing statements as evidence. These documents are crucial if you need to prove you cancelled on time.
How to cancel benzinga on each platform
Your cancellation method depends on where you purchased the subscription; each platform has its own process.
Cancel benzinga via the web (benzinga.com)
This is the most direct method if you subscribed directly on Benzinga's website.
- Log in to your Benzinga account at benzinga.com using your email and password.
- Navigate to your account settings or billing section (usually found in the top-right menu under "Account" or "Settings").
- Look for a "Subscriptions," "My Subscriptions," or "Billing" tab.
- Locate your active Benzinga Pro or newsletter subscription in the list.
- Click the "Cancel Subscription" button next to the product you want to stop.
- Review the cancellation summary and confirm that it shows your final billing date.
- Submit your cancellation request.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Benzinga within 24 hours. Save this email; it serves as proof of your cancellation date.
Pro tip: If you don't see a self-service cancellation option, contact Benzinga's support team immediately via their website contact form or email. Request written confirmation of your cancellation request and when it was processed. Stopee recommends capturing screenshots of your support tickets for future reference.
Cancel benzinga on apple's app store (iOS)
If you subscribed through Apple, you manage the cancellation in Apple's ecosystem, not through Benzinga.
- Open the App Store app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select Subscriptions from the menu.
- Find Benzinga in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap on the Benzinga subscription.
- Tap Cancel Subscription (or Edit if that option appears, then proceed to cancel).
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
- You'll receive an on-screen confirmation; screenshot this for your records.
Warning: Apple's system continues to charge you until the end of your current billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date. Check your subscription's next renewal date in the App Store before you confirm cancellation; if the date has already passed, you may have just entered a new billing cycle and won't see a refund.
Cancel benzinga on google play (Android)
Google Play subscriptions are managed through your Google account, separate from Benzinga's website.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device or visit play.google.com in a web browser.
- Tap your profile icon (top-right) or click your account name.
- Select Subscriptions or Manage subscriptions.
- Locate Benzinga from the active subscriptions list.
- Tap on the Benzinga subscription.
- Select Cancel subscription.
- Choose your reason for cancellation (optional) and confirm.
- Google Play will display a confirmation message and email you shortly.
Pro tip: Like Apple, Google Play processes cancellations at the end of your current billing cycle. You won't lose access before that date, but you also won't be charged again. If you need an immediate refund, contact Google Play support directly with proof of your cancellation and request a refund within their 7-day window if applicable.
Refund eligibility and how to claim your money back
Your refund depends entirely on the product, purchase method, and how soon you cancel after signing up.
Benzinga pro refund window
Benzinga Pro offers a full refund within 7 days of your initial purchase if you cancel before using the service significantly. This 7-day window may also apply to renewal payments in some cases, but Stopee recommends confirming this directly with Benzinga before your renewal date.
To claim your Benzinga Pro refund:
- Cancel your subscription through benzinga.com (see above) or your app store account.
- Email Benzinga's support team with your account email, order number, and a brief note requesting a refund.
- Reference your cancellation confirmation to prove you cancelled within the 7-day window.
- Benzinga typically responds within 3-5 business days with refund approval or a denial with explanation.
- If approved, the refund processes to your original payment method within 5-10 business days.
Stocks to watch and other newsletter refunds
The Stocks To Watch newsletter offers a 14-day account credit window (not a cash refund). If you cancel within 14 days of purchase, Benzinga credits the amount to your account for use toward another Benzinga product. This credit does not transfer to other companies and expires if you close your account.
Other Benzinga newsletters are generally non-refundable once purchased, though Stopee encourages you to contact support and ask; in rare cases, customer service may override this policy.
Lifetime subscriptions and promotional pricing
Lifetime subscriptions and introductory offers are typically final sale with no refund. Benzinga reserves the right to offer account credit toward another service instead of cash, but will not issue refunds for these purchase types unless the company ceases operations or is acquired within 5 years of your purchase. Any refund in that scenario would be prorated based on unused time.
What if benzinga denies your refund?
If Benzinga refuses your refund despite falling within the window, escalate through these channels:
- Credit card dispute: Contact your credit card issuer and file a chargeback, citing "cancelled service" or "unauthorized charge."
- Bank complaint: If you paid by debit, report the charge to your bank and request a reversal.
- Consumer protection authority: File a formal complaint with your provincial authority (noted in the rights section above).
- Stopee guidance: Our platform can help you draft a complaint letter with the right legal language for your province, maximizing your chances of success.
What happens immediately after you cancel
Cancelling a subscription can feel uncertain; here's exactly what to expect.
Access and service continuity
When you cancel Benzinga, your access continues through the end of your current paid billing period. You do not lose access immediately, and Benzinga does not cut off your account on the cancellation date. This means if your billing period renews on the 15th and you cancel on the 10th, you can use Benzinga until the 15th at no extra charge.
After your billing period ends, Benzinga removes your access to premium features, live data feeds, and newsletters. Any downloads or exports you need should happen before that final date.
Data, account settings, and download what you need
Benzinga's data retention policies vary by product. Your account and historical settings may remain on file after cancellation, but you won't be able to access them without resubscribing. If you use Benzinga Pro or collect watchlists, trade alerts, or analysis notes, export everything you need before your access expires. Most platforms allow you to download or export data through your account settings; check the "Data" or "Export" section of your profile.
Stopee recommends taking screenshots of any important charts, alerts, or notes as a backup. Digital services can delete your data without warning once your subscription ends, and recovery is rarely possible.
Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Cancelling a subscription sounds simple, but small errors cost Canadian consumers thousands of dollars annually in lost refunds and unwanted charges.
Mistake 1: cancelling too late to claim a refund
The most expensive mistake is waiting past your refund window. Benzinga Pro's 7-day refund window closes fast; if you cancel on day 8, you forfeit your entire payment. Set a calendar reminder for day 5 or 6 of your subscription so you have time to request a refund if you're not satisfied.
Mistake 2: confusing app store cancellation with benzinga account cancellation
Cancelling the Benzinga app itself does not cancel your subscription. You must cancel the subscription in the app store (Apple or Google) or on Benzinga's website. If you only delete the app, charges continue silently.
Mistake 3: not saving your cancellation confirmation
Without proof of cancellation, you cannot prove you cancelled on time if a dispute arises. Screenshot every confirmation, save confirmation emails, and note the date and time. Stopee has helped thousands of consumers recover money by producing a single email confirmation that proved they cancelled within the refund window.
Mistake 4: ignoring promotional or introductory pricing terms
If you signed up for a discounted trial or introductory rate, read the fine print. Many of these offers are final sale with no refund, even if you cancel within a week. Benzinga's terms should specify whether your discount qualifies for the 7-day refund window; if unclear, email support before you decide to cancel.
Mistake 5: not requesting a refund explicitly
Simply cancelling your subscription does not automatically trigger a refund; you must request it separately. After you cancel through benzinga.com or your app store, email Benzinga support asking for a refund within the eligibility period. Include your order number and cancellation confirmation. Silence is not consent; you must ask.

Should you cancel, pause, or keep your benzinga subscription?
Before you cancel permanently, consider whether pausing or downgrading might better suit your needs.
Keep your subscription if
- You trade or invest regularly and use Benzinga's real-time data and alerts.
- You're within the first 7 days and uncertain; you can always cancel for a full refund later.
- You're on a promotional rate that will increase significantly after the intro period ends; cancelling now prevents future shock charges.
Cancel your subscription if
- You haven't logged in for more than 30 days and don't plan to trade soon.
- You found a cheaper alternative or prefer free financial data sources.
- You're being auto-renewed without clear notification, and the charge surprises you.
- Benzinga's service quality has declined or no longer meets your needs.
Stopee recommends honestly assessing your trading activity. If you're not actively using Benzinga, every month you keep the subscription wastes money you could redirect to investments or other priorities.
Cancellation address and escalation contacts
If you prefer to cancel by registered mail or need to escalate a dispute, use this contact information.
Benzinga contact information
For written cancellation requests and formal disputes, Stopee advises sending your cancellation letter by registered mail with proof of delivery (raccomandata A/R or equivalent Canadian registered mail service) to ensure Benzinga cannot claim they never received it. Request a read receipt when you mail it.
Write your letter clearly with:
- Your full name and account email address.
- Your order number and subscription type (Benzinga Pro, Stocks To Watch, etc.).
- The date you purchased and the date you're requesting cancellation.
- A request for full refund if within the refund window, with reference to Benzinga's 7-day or 14-day policy.
- Your preferred refund method (original payment method).
Note: Specific mailing addresses for Benzinga may require a current web search on benzinga.com or their support page. Stopee recommends obtaining the address directly from Benzinga's website before you mail anything, as addresses can change.
Canadian consumer protection authorities
If Benzinga refuses to process your refund or cancellation, file a complaint with your provincial authority:
- Ontario: ServiceOntario Consumer Protection (consumerprotection.ontario.ca)
- British Columbia: BC Office of the Ombudsperson (bcombudsperson.ca)
- Quebec: Office of the Ombudsman (Protecteur du citoyen)
- Alberta: Fair Trading Act complaints through Service Alberta
- Other provinces: Contact your provincial Ministry of Consumer Affairs or Ombudsperson
Additionally, you can escalate to the Competition Bureau of Canada (competition.gc.ca) if you believe Benzinga misrepresented refund terms or engaged in unfair billing practices.
