Cancel Funimate: The Right Way
How to cancel funimate and reclaim control of your subscription
What funimate is and why you might want to cancel
Funimate is a mobile video-editing app designed for quick creative edits, animated transitions and social sharing. The service operates on a freemium model, with a paid tier called Funimate Pro that unlocks additional effects, removes watermarks and grants a pro badge. Most users download Funimate to create stylised short videos for social platforms, but many find themselves caught in auto-renewing subscriptions they no longer need or use.
Understanding funimate's subscription model
Funimate offers recurring plans through both Apple's App Store and Google Play Store, with pricing that varies by region and currency. You purchase your subscription directly through your device's app store, which means Apple or Google handles the billing. The app promotes free trials to entice new users, but these trials automatically convert to paid subscriptions unless you cancel beforehand. This is where most cancellation problems begin.
Why irish consumers choose to cancel
Irish users typically cancel Funimate for three reasons: the trial period expires and charges begin unexpectedly, the app crashes frequently making the paid features unusable, or they simply stop using the creative tools and want to stop paying. Many people discover unwanted charges on their statement weeks after forgetting about a trial signup. Others invest in Pro features only to find the app unstable or lacking features they expected. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to guide you through cancellation with clarity and confidence.
Funimate subscription plans and typical pricing
Funimate charges in euro for Irish consumers across three main subscription tiers, each with different commitment lengths and costs.
| Plan type | Typical pricing (EUR) | Billing cycle | Trial period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly | €2.99-€3.99 | Every 7 days | Often 7 days free |
| Monthly | €6.99-€9.99 | Every 30 days | Often 7 days free |
| Annual | €59.99-€79.99 | Every 365 days | Occasionally 7 days free |
Actual prices vary depending on your device, your country setting and any ongoing promotions. When you sign up, Funimate displays the exact euro amount you will be charged and when. Always screenshot this information before confirming; it becomes evidence if disputes arise later.
How to cancel funimate on iOS (iPhone and iPad)
Cancelling on Apple devices requires you to manage subscriptions through your Apple ID settings, not through the Funimate app itself.
- Unlock your iPhone or iPad and open the Settings app (the grey icon with gears).
- Scroll down and tap your name at the very top of the Settings screen.
- Select Subscriptions from the menu.
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
- Find Funimate in the list and tap it.
- If you have multiple subscriptions, look carefully for the Funimate entry.
- Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen.
- Apple will show you a confirmation screen asking why you are cancelling (optional feedback).
- Tap Confirm or Cancel Subscription again to finalize.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page.
- This screenshot proves you cancelled on a specific date and time.
Pro tip: Cancellation takes effect immediately on iOS. Your access to Funimate Pro features ends at the end of your current billing period, but you are no longer being charged going forward. If you cancelled during a free trial, you will see "Subscription expires [date]" on the confirmation screen.
How to cancel funimate on android (Google play)
Android users manage subscriptions through the Google Play Store app, which works differently from Apple's system.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device (the colourful triangle icon).
- Make sure you are signed into the Google account associated with your Funimate purchase.
- Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner.
- Do not tap the Funimate app icon itself; you need the Play Store menu.
- Select Subscriptions from the dropdown menu.
- You will see all active subscriptions on your account.
- Tap Funimate to open the subscription details.
- Check the next billing date and current payment method.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Google Play will ask for feedback about why you are cancelling (optional).
- Tap Continue or Cancel to confirm.
- Screenshot the final confirmation page showing your cancellation date.
- Save this image to your phone's photo library or cloud storage.
Warning: On Android, cancellation can take up to 24 hours to process through Google Play. If your billing date is within a day, your next charge may still go through; you can request a refund afterward if this happens.
What happens immediately after you cancel
Cancellation is emotionally satisfying but leaves you in a temporary limbo period. You need to know exactly what to expect.
Your Funimate Pro features remain active until the end of your current billing cycle. If you paid for a monthly subscription and cancelled on day 5, you keep Pro access until day 35. This grace period is standard across both iOS and Android. You will lose access to watermark removal, advanced effects and the pro badge on that end date, but you won't be charged again.
Your account itself does not disappear. You can still use the free version of Funimate and all your existing projects remain in the app. If you change your mind, you can resubscribe at any time through the same app store. However, Stopee recommends confirming your cancellation is complete before relying on this; check your subscription status one week later to be certain.
Understanding your refund rights in ireland
Irish consumers are protected by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. These laws give you specific rights when you purchase digital services.
When you have a right to a refund
You have 14 days from the date of purchase to request a full refund if you change your mind. However, this window closes if you have already begun using the Pro features substantially. If you subscribe and immediately start using advanced effects, Apple or Google may deny a refund on the grounds that you have consumed the service.
You have an automatic right to a refund if the service is faulty. If Funimate crashes repeatedly, fails to load filters or does not function as advertised, you can claim a refund under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 regardless of when you purchased it. Stopee advises documenting every crash with screenshots of error messages and the date and time they occurred.
How to request a refund
Contact your payment processor, not Funimate directly. This is the key principle: Apple and Google are your merchant and handle refunds.
For iOS purchases: Open Settings, tap your name, select Purchase History, find the Funimate charge, tap the three dots next to it and select Report a Problem. Choose your reason (unwanted subscription, duplicate charge, or fault) and submit. Apple reviews your request within 48 hours.
For Android purchases: Open Google Play Store, tap your profile icon, select Payments and Subscriptions, then Transactions. Find the Funimate charge, tap it and select Request Refund. Select your reason and submit. Google typically responds within 3 to 5 business days.
Pro tip: Reference the Consumer Rights Act 2015 in your refund request. Write: "I am requesting a refund under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 on the grounds of [fault / right of withdrawal / misleading terms]." This language signals you understand your legal position and increases the likelihood of approval.
Common mistakes irish users make when cancelling
You can do everything right and still end up frustrated if you fall into these traps.
The most frequent mistake is deleting the Funimate app and assuming the subscription has been cancelled. Deleting an app has zero effect on your subscription. The subscription lives in your Apple ID or Google account, not on your device. You will still be charged even if Funimate is not installed. Stopee emphasises this because dozens of Irish consumers contact us each month convinced they cancelled when they actually did not.
Another common error is cancelling only through the app itself. Some users find a cancellation option within the Funimate app and tap it, believing the job is done. Funimate's in-app cancellation links sometimes fail to process or route to the wrong system. Always cancel through Apple Settings or Google Play Store directly; these are the only authoritative sources.
Failing to screenshot your confirmation is also a serious mistake. If you need to dispute a charge later, you need proof of the exact date and time you cancelled. A screenshot of the confirmation page is admissible evidence; your memory is not.
Finally, many users cancel but never verify the cancellation took effect. Log back into your subscription settings one week later and check whether Funimate still appears as an active subscription. If it does, cancel again or contact Apple or Google support immediately.
Protecting yourself: checklist before and after cancellation
Use this checklist to safeguard yourself from billing errors and account disputes.
| Task | Timing | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Screenshot your trial expiry date | When you first sign up | Proves when charges should have begun |
| Note the price and currency displayed | Before confirming purchase | Evidence if you are overcharged |
| Cancel within Settings or Play Store | Before the trial ends | Only reliable cancellation method |
| Screenshot the cancellation confirmation | Immediately after cancelling | Proof for future disputes |
| Verify cancellation one week later | 7 days post-cancellation | Confirm the subscription is gone |
| Check your bank or card statement | On your next billing date | Ensure no unexpected charge occurs |
Escalation: what to do if your cancellation fails
Sometimes cancellations do not stick. If you cancel but Funimate charges you anyway, you have clear paths to resolution.
Step one: contact apple or google immediately
Within three days of the unexpected charge, contact your payment processor. Use live chat or email (faster than phone support). Explain that you cancelled the subscription but were still charged. Attach your cancellation screenshot. Apple and Google have staff dedicated to refunding erroneous subscription renewals and typically approve these within 48 hours if you have evidence of your cancellation attempt.
Step two: escalate to your bank or card provider
If Apple or Google denies your refund, you have a right to dispute the charge with your bank. Contact your bank or credit card issuer and file a chargeback claim. Provide your cancellation screenshots, the charge receipt and the refund denial from Apple or Google. Your bank will investigate and often reverses the charge in your favour, as subscription fraud is a recognised consumer protection issue in Ireland.
Step three: contact the national consumer authority
If the charge exceeds €50 and the above steps fail, contact the Office of the Director of Consumer Protection (part of the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission). You can file a formal complaint online or by post. The CCPC will investigate on your behalf and can compel refunds or penalties against the service provider. Stopee recommends documenting every step of your cancellation and refund attempt before escalating here.
Reviews and user experience: what irish customers report
Irish users of Funimate consistently praise the app's ease of use and creative effects but express frustration with billing and cancellation transparency. Across app store reviews and consumer forums, the most common complaint is surprise charges after forgotten trials. Users report that the app does not remind them of upcoming billing dates and that the cancellation process is deliberately obscured. Several Irish consumers have posted in forums describing repeated failed cancellation attempts, where they cancelled through Settings but were still charged the following month.
On the positive side, users who cancel early and request refunds report that Apple and Google tend to honour these requests without significant resistance. This suggests the system works when you follow the correct procedure. Users also note that Funimate's free tier remains fully functional after cancellation, so you can continue using basic editing without paying. This flexibility makes cancellation lower-risk than losing access entirely.
Final decision: should you keep or cancel funimate?
Stopee has guided thousands of Irish consumers through subscription decisions. Here is a framework to decide whether Funimate deserves your money.
Keep Funimate if: You use the app at least twice weekly, you create social content professionally or as a serious hobby, and the pro features (watermark removal, advanced effects) directly enable your work. If Funimate solves a specific creative problem and saves you time, the cost of €6.99 to €9.99 per month is reasonable. However, ask yourself if you would genuinely miss these features within 30 days of cancelling. If the answer is no, cancel.
Cancel Funimate if: You signed up on impulse or during a trial and have not used it in over two weeks, your primary use is casual social media videos (the free tier handles this), or you have found another editing app that suits you better. Most importantly, cancel if unexpected charges frustrate you or if you do not remember signing up at all. There is no shame in removing services you no longer value, and your cash flow will improve immediately.

Funimate customer service contact information
Funimate does not handle subscription cancellations directly. You must cancel through Apple or Google. However, if you have questions about app functionality or account recovery, you can contact Funimate's support team through the app settings menu or their official website. For subscription disputes, billing issues or refund requests, always contact Apple (for iOS) or Google (for Android) first; they are your direct merchant and have the authority to approve refunds.
