Cancel Starmaker: The Right Way
How to cancel starmaker in india and protect your wallet
Understanding starmaker before you cancel
Starmaker is a karaoke and social singing app that lets you record, share, and perform songs from a vast library with a global community. The app offers in-app virtual currency (coins), VIP membership tiers, and social collaboration features designed to boost your exposure as a performer.
You access Starmaker through iOS (App Store), Android (Google Play), or web channels. This matters because where you bought your subscription determines how you cancel it and whether refunds apply. At Stopee, we've helped thousands of consumers navigate exactly this confusion, so let's break it down clearly.
Why you might cancel starmaker
You may cancel Starmaker if you no longer use the app, prefer a different karaoke platform, or want to stop recurring charges on your payment method. Some users find the coin pricing steep; others simply lose interest after initial engagement. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to ensure you cancel smoothly without unexpected charges or lost coins.
What you're actually paying for
Starmaker offers both one-time purchases (coin packs and VIP access) and recurring subscriptions depending on which plan you select. Coins let you unlock songs, boost visibility, or tip other singers. VIP tiers remove ads and grant early access to new releases. Understanding your billing method before cancelling is essential, because cancelling a coin purchase works differently from cancelling a subscription.
Your consumer rights under indian law
India's Consumer Protection Act, 2019 grants you specific rights when cancelling digital services. You are entitled to transparency about billing, the right to cancel without penalty, and refunds for unused services under certain conditions.
What the law protects
The Consumer Protection Act requires digital service providers to disclose subscription terms clearly, allow you to cancel easily, and refund your money if the service fails or you cancel within a cooling-off period. If Starmaker charges you after cancellation or refuses to process a refund without valid reason, you can escalate to your state's Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
When you can demand a refund
You have a legal right to a refund if you cancel within 14 days of purchase (the cooling-off period), if Starmaker charges you after you cancelled, or if the service is defective or unavailable. If Starmaker claims "no refund for virtual currency," challenge this under Section 7 of the Consumer Protection Act if the claim lacks reasonable transparency. Stopee recommends keeping screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and all billing records as legal proof.
How to cancel starmaker: step-by-step by platform
Your cancellation process depends on which platform you use. Follow the exact steps for your device to avoid missing the cancellation deadline.
Cancel via apple app store (iOS)
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your Apple ID banner at the top (your name and profile image).
- If you see "Sign Out," you are already logged in to the correct account.
- Select Subscriptions (you may need to scroll down).
- If you don't see Subscriptions, ensure you are logged into the correct Apple ID.
- Find and tap Starmaker from the list.
- Pro tip: If Starmaker doesn't appear, you may have purchased coins only (one-time), not a subscription. One-time purchases cannot be cancelled, but you can stop future purchases by adjusting your Apple ID payment settings.
- Tap Cancel Subscription (or similar wording like "Edit Subscription").
- Follow Apple's confirmation prompts; you will receive an email confirmation within minutes.
- Screenshot the confirmation email and your Settings screen showing "Subscription Cancelled" as proof.
- Warning: Cancel at least 24 hours before your next renewal date to stop the upcoming charge. Apple charges at 4 AM IST on renewal day.
Cancel via google play store (Android)
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Do NOT open the Starmaker app itself; use only the Play Store.
- Tap your profile icon (top right corner).
- This may show your Google account email or a profile picture.
- Select Payments and subscriptions.
- You may see "Manage subscriptions" or "Manage payments" depending on your Android version.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- A list of all your active subscriptions will appear here.
- Find Starmaker and tap it.
- If Starmaker doesn't appear, you purchased coins only (one-time), not a recurring subscription.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Google will ask you why you're cancelling; select a reason (optional feedback).
- Confirm cancellation by tapping Cancel subscription again.
- Pro tip: Screenshot both the cancellation screen and your email confirmation. Stopee recommends keeping these for at least 3 months in case of billing disputes.
Cancel via web or email (direct starmaker account)
- Visit the Starmaker website or log into your account.
- Look for Account Settings, Billing, or Manage Subscriptions (exact labels vary).
- Send a formal written cancellation email to appsupport@starmakerstudios.com if you cannot find a web cancellation option.
- Include your full name, email address, registered phone number, and the exact date you purchased your subscription.
- Write clearly: "I request cancellation of my Starmaker subscription effective immediately. Please confirm in writing that auto-renewal has been stopped."
- Keep the email in your sent folder; save any reply you receive.
- Wait 48 hours for a confirmation email from Starmaker support.
- Warning: Starmaker's web cancellation policy is less transparent than Apple or Google. If you don't receive confirmation, send a follow-up email after 72 hours.
- If you still don't receive confirmation, escalate your cancellation request to Starmaker Entertainment Technology India (contact details below) by registered post or email with read receipt.
- Stopee advises this step if you've been charged after requesting cancellation.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation can feel anticlimactic, but understanding what you keep (and what you lose) prevents buyer's remorse and helps you spot unauthorised charges.
Your access and content after cancellation
When you cancel a Starmaker subscription, auto-renewal stops immediately. You retain full access to the app and your recorded performances until the end of your current billing period (the date shown in your subscription confirmation). You will not be charged again after this date unless you manually restart your subscription.
Your uploaded songs, duets, and profile remain on Starmaker servers indefinitely unless you delete them manually. Cancelling a subscription does not erase your account or content; only the paid features (unlimited song access, no ads, early releases) expire at the end of the billing period.
Your coin balance and one-time purchases
Coins you've purchased do not expire when you cancel a subscription. You can still spend coins on song unlocks, filters, or tips to other users after cancellation. However, if you purchased a one-time VIP bundle (e.g., "Exclusive access + early releases" for ₹1,799), that access ends when your subscription period ends, just like a recurring plan.
Refunds: what starmaker will and won't refund
Refund policies vary by platform and purchase type. Understanding your specific eligibility prevents frustration and illegal refund denials.
Refunds for app store subscriptions
Apple processes all refund requests for Starmaker subscriptions purchased via the App Store. Starmaker does not handle these refunds directly. You must request a refund from Apple using the App Store Refund Request process within 14 days of the charge date. Apple refunds to your original payment method (your Apple ID balance or linked credit/debit card) within 3-5 business days.
To request a refund from Apple: Open the App Store, tap your profile, select Purchase History, find the Starmaker charge, tap it, select "Report a Problem," and choose your reason (e.g., "Accidental purchase" or "Subscription cancelled but still charged"). Apple grants most first-time refund requests automatically. If Apple denies your refund and you cancelled with proof, Stopee recommends escalating to your bank or filing a complaint with the Reserve Bank of India's NACH (National Automated Clearing House) dispute process.
Refunds for google play subscriptions
Google Play refunds Starmaker charges within 48 hours if you request the refund within 48 hours of the transaction date. After 48 hours, Google requires you to contact Starmaker support directly (appsupport@starmakerstudios.com) with proof of cancellation, and refunds are not guaranteed.
To request a refund from Google: Open Google Play Store, tap your profile, select Payments and subscriptions, tap Subscriptions, find Starmaker, tap the charge, and select "Report a problem." Clearly state that you cancelled the subscription and were charged after cancellation. Google will refund your money to your Google Play balance or linked payment method within 3-7 business days.
Refunds for web or email-billed purchases
Starmaker's web-based purchases (coin packs and VIP access bought directly on their website) have the least consumer-friendly refund policy. Starmaker states that refunds are not guaranteed for web purchases unless there is a technical error (e.g., duplicate charges, billing system failure) and you claim it within 7 days.
If you purchased coins or VIP access directly from Starmaker and want a refund, email appsupport@starmakerstudios.com with your order number, purchase date, and reason for the refund request. Cite India's Consumer Protection Act, Section 7, if Starmaker refuses to explain why a refund is denied. Stopee has seen success with complaints filed under "Deficiency in Service" if Starmaker promised a feature or service level they failed to deliver.
Starmaker pricing and plans in india
Below is a breakdown of Starmaker's current pricing in Indian Rupees (INR) as displayed on the App Store and Google Play.
| Plan or coin pack | Price (INR) | Type | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60 Coins | ₹99 | One-time | In-app virtual currency for song unlocks and features |
| 420 Coins | ₹699 | One-time | Bulk coin purchase, better value |
| 600 Coins | ₹999 | One-time | Mid-tier coin bundle |
| VIP All Access | ₹699 | Recurring (monthly) | All songs, no ads, recommended |
| Exclusive access + early releases | ₹1,799 | Recurring (monthly) | All songs plus early access to new releases, premium tier |
Note: one-time coin purchases do not recur and cannot be "cancelled" - they are final transactions. Only recurring plans (VIP subscriptions) can be cancelled via the steps above.
Common mistakes when cancelling starmaker
We know cancellation can feel confusing, especially when coins, subscriptions, and multiple platforms are involved. These mistakes are easy to make, but easier to avoid.
Mistake 1: confusing coins with subscriptions
Many users think coins are a recurring charge, but coins are one-time purchases. You buy ₹99 worth of coins once; Starmaker does not auto-charge you every month for coins. However, if you also have a VIP subscription (a recurring plan), that subscription will auto-renew monthly until you cancel it. Stopee advises checking your subscription status in Settings (iOS) or Google Play (Android) to confirm whether you have a recurring plan active.
Mistake 2: cancelling the starmaker app instead of the subscription
Deleting the Starmaker app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Your subscription remains active in Apple or Google's system, and auto-renewal charges will continue. You must cancel through Settings or Google Play Store, not by uninstalling the app.
Mistake 3: assuming you'll get a refund immediately
Refunds can take 3-7 business days to appear in your account, and some refunds are simply denied by policy. Do not assume silence means approval; follow up with Starmaker or Apple/Google after 7 days if your refund hasn't arrived.
Mistake 4: not saving cancellation proof
Screenshots and emails are your only evidence if Starmaker charges you after cancellation. Stopee strongly recommends saving confirmation emails and app screenshots immediately after cancelling. Without proof, your refund request becomes "he said, she said," and you lose leverage in a dispute.
Mistake 5: missing the renewal date
If you forget to cancel before renewal day, you've already been charged for the next month. Apple and Google allow refunds within 48 hours to 14 days depending on the platform and reason. Act immediately if you see an unexpected charge.
Cancellation checklist and timeline

| File complaint with Consumer Redressal Commission (if needed) | 2 years from the date of the deficient service | All cancellation proof, refund denials, and correspondence |
