Cancel Plantsnap: The Right Way
How to cancel plantsnap and protect your subscription rights in new zealand
What is plantsnap and why you might want to cancel
Plantsnap is a plant identification app that lets you photograph plants and receive probable identifications along with basic botanical information. The app combines photo recognition with a searchable plant database, making it simple for gardeners, botanists, and plant enthusiasts to identify species on the go.
The service operates on a freemium model: you can use the core app at no cost, or upgrade to a Premium subscription for ad-free browsing, unlimited identifications, and extended features. Like many subscription apps, Plantsnap charges recur automatically each billing period unless you actively cancel.
If you have decided that the Premium features no longer serve your needs, or if you simply want to avoid ongoing charges, Stopee is here to guide you through the cancellation process step by step. Whether you subscribed via the web, Apple App Store, or Google Play, we have covered every route so you can cancel with confidence.
Core features of plantsnap
The free version includes photo-based plant identification and access to Plantsnap's searchable plant library. You can save plants you have identified to your personal library for future reference.
Premium subscribers gain unlimited identifications per month, an ad-free experience, and priority support. The paid tier removes friction when you want to identify multiple plants during a single session.
Pricing and subscription tiers available in new zealand
Plantsnap offers multiple subscription options in the New Zealand App Store. The most recent pricing (2024-2025) is shown below in New Zealand dollars.
| Plan | Price (NZ$) | Billing period | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium Weekly | NZ$9.99 | 7 days | Testing the Premium experience |
| Premium Annual | NZ$49.99 | 12 months | Serious plant enthusiasts |
Keep in mind that pricing and available tiers can change. Check the App Store or Plantsnap.com directly for the most current options.
How to cancel plantsnap on the web
If you subscribed through Plantsnap's website (plantsnap.com), you manage and cancel your subscription directly from your account dashboard.
Step-by-step web cancellation
- Visit plantsnap.com and log in using your email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" link on the login page.
- Once logged in, look for your account menu (often a profile icon or "Settings" link in the top navigation).
- Click on "Billing", "Subscription", or "Account Settings" depending on the current website layout.
- Locate your active subscription in the billing section.
- You should see your current plan, the next billing date, and a "Cancel Subscription" or similar button.
- Click the cancellation button and confirm your choice when prompted.
- Plantsnap may ask you why you are cancelling; this feedback is optional but helps the company improve.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Plantsnap.
- Pro tip: Save or screenshot this confirmation email as proof that you cancelled. You will need it if a dispute arises.
Cancellation by email
If you encounter trouble accessing the website or the cancellation button does not work, you can request cancellation by email.
Send a clear message to support@plantsnap.net with the subject line "Subscription Cancellation Request". Include your account email address and ask them to cancel your Premium subscription immediately. Plantsnap support typically responds within 2-3 business days, though delays can occur. Always keep a copy of your email for your records.
How to cancel plantsnap on iOS (Apple app store)
If you subscribed to Plantsnap through your iPhone or iPad, Apple manages your subscription and billing. You must cancel through Apple's system, not through Plantsnap itself.
Step-by-step iOS cancellation
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name at the top of the Settings menu.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- This shows all active app subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
- Find and tap "Plantsnap" in the subscriptions list.
- You will see your plan details, the next billing date, and options to manage the subscription.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
- Apple will ask you to confirm; select "Confirm" or "Yes" to complete the cancellation.
- Verify the cancellation on screen.
- Warning: Do not confuse "Cancel Subscription" with "Remove" or "Delete"; these do different things. You specifically want to click "Cancel Subscription".
- Check your email for an Apple confirmation.
- Apple sends a cancellation receipt to your Apple ID email address within minutes.
Pro tip: You retain access to Plantsnap Premium until the end of your current billing cycle. Cancelling does not cut off access immediately; it simply stops the next charge from occurring.
How to cancel plantsnap on android (Google play store)
Android users who subscribed via Google Play must cancel through Google's subscription management system, not through the Plantsnap app itself.
Step-by-step android cancellation
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Manage my subscriptions" or "Payments and subscriptions" (exact wording varies by device).
- This page lists all active subscriptions tied to your Google account.
- Tap "Plantsnap - Plant Identifier" in your subscriptions list.
- You will see the plan name, renewal date, and billing information.
- Tap "Cancel subscription".
- Google Play will ask you to confirm and may offer retention options; you can decline these.
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
- The system will show a final confirmation screen.
- Wait for a confirmation email from Google.
- Google sends a receipt to your Gmail address confirming the cancellation.
Pro tip: Just like iOS, cancelling your subscription on Android does not cut off Premium access immediately. You keep using paid features until your current billing period ends.
What happens after you cancel plantsnap
Cancelling your subscription is the start of a transition, not the end. Understanding what changes-and what does not-helps you avoid confusion and unwanted surprises.
Access and service after cancellation
When you cancel your Plantsnap subscription, automatic renewal stops. Your next billing charge will not occur. However, you continue to have access to all Premium features you paid for until the end of your current billing period.
For example, if you cancel on 15 March and your subscription renews on 30 March, you keep Premium benefits from 15 March to 30 March. After 30 March, your account reverts to the free tier, and you lose ad-free browsing and unlimited identifications.
The free version remains fully functional. You can still identify plants, browse the database, and save finds to your library-you simply return to the limits and advertisements of the free experience.
Your account and saved data
Cancelling a paid subscription does not delete your Plantsnap account or any of your saved plant identifications. Your library of discoveries remains intact even after the subscription ends.
If you want to delete your entire account or export your data, contact Plantsnap support at support@plantsnap.net with a clear request. Be specific: "Please delete my account and all associated data" or "Please send me an export of my plant library." Plantsnap must honor these requests in line with New Zealand's privacy and data protection standards.
Refunds and your right to recover charges
Refunds depend on where and when you purchased your subscription, as well as the circumstances surrounding your cancellation request.
Refunds for web purchases (plantsnap.com)
If you subscribed directly through plantsnap.com, Plantsnap may consider refunds under these conditions:
- You cancel before your next billing cycle begins.
- The service was inaccessible or did not function as advertised.
- You purchased a trial subscription and did not intend to renew.
- You were charged accidentally or due to a technical error.
To request a refund, visit the "Contact Us" page on plantsnap.com or email support@plantsnap.net. Include your receipt, the date of purchase, and a brief explanation of why you want a refund. Plantsnap support will review your request and respond within 5-7 working days.
Pro tip: Be polite and factual in your refund request. Mentioning that you have consumer rights in New Zealand (see the section below) can strengthen your position if Plantsnap initially refuses.
Refunds for app store and google play purchases
If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, refunds are managed by Apple or Google, not Plantsnap.
- Apple App Store refunds: Request a refund via the App Store app on iOS (tap your profile icon, then "Purchase History", then the purchase, then "Report a Problem"). Apple processes refund requests within 5-7 working days.
- Google Play refunds: Request a refund via Google Play (tap your profile icon, then "Payments and subscriptions", then "Manage subscriptions", then "Plantsnap", then "Report a problem"). Google typically issues refunds within 3-5 working days.
Both platforms allow refunds within a limited window (usually 48 hours for most subscriptions, though this varies). If you cancel outside that window, a refund becomes less likely but is not impossible if you can demonstrate a problem with the service.
Your consumer rights and protections in new zealand
New Zealand law protects your rights as a digital consumer, even for app subscriptions. Understanding these protections empowers you to take action if Plantsnap breaches its obligations.
Consumer guarantees act 1993
Digital services like Plantsnap Premium are covered under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. The Act guarantees that the service you pay for must be:
- Of acceptable quality (fit for purpose, safe, durable).
- Fit for the purpose for which it was sold or recommended.
- Match the description provided by Plantsnap at the time of purchase.
If Plantsnap fails to meet these guarantees-for example, if the app crashes frequently, identifications are inaccurate, or promised features are missing-you have the right to request a refund, repair, or replacement.
If plantsnap refuses your refund
If Plantsnap denies your legitimate refund request, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission, New Zealand's consumer authority. The Commerce Commission investigates complaints about misleading or unfair trading practices and can order companies to provide refunds.
Before escalating, send a formal written request to Plantsnap referencing the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and giving them 14 days to respond. If they refuse or do not reply, lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission via their website at comcom.govt.nz.
Stopee recommends keeping all receipts, confirmation emails, and support correspondence in case you need to provide evidence of your complaint.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling plantsnap
Cancelling a subscription should be straightforward, but small errors can lead to continued charges, lost refunds, or confusion. Here are the pitfalls Stopee has seen consumers face most often.
Mistake 1: confusing "Cancel" with "Delete" or "Remove"
On both iOS and Android, subscription menus offer multiple options. Tapping "Remove" or "Delete" removes the app from your device but does not cancel the subscription-charges continue. Always select "Cancel Subscription" explicitly.
Mistake 2: cancelling through the app instead of the platform
If you subscribed via Apple or Google, cancelling inside the Plantsnap app itself will not work. The app may not have a cancellation option, or it may direct you back to the App Store or Google Play. Always cancel through the platform where you purchased.
Mistake 3: not checking your confirmation email
After you cancel, wait for a confirmation email from Apple, Google, or Plantsnap. If you do not receive one within 24 hours, contact support to verify the cancellation went through. This email is your proof of cancellation.
Mistake 4: assuming access ends immediately after cancellation
You retain Premium access until the end of your current billing cycle. Many people assume they lose access the moment they click "Cancel", then worry unnecessarily. Rest assured that Plantsnap will not cut off service early.
Mistake 5: not requesting a refund if you cancel within days of purchase
If you purchased a subscription and realised within a few days that it was not for you, ask for a refund anyway. Platform policies and consumer law often allow refunds within a short window (48-72 hours). Stopee advises always making the request-the worst outcome is a "no".
