Cancel Prowritingaid: The Right Way
How to cancel ProWritingAid in new zealand: step-by-step guide and your refund rights
What is ProWritingAid and why you might cancel
ProWritingAid is a writing-assistance platform that scans your documents for grammar mistakes, style issues, clarity problems and readability gaps. It works across web browsers, word processors and mobile apps, giving you real-time feedback as you write.
You might cancel because the tool doesn't fit your writing workflow, you've found a cheaper alternative, or you simply don't need active editing support any longer. Whatever your reason, cancelling should be straightforward, and you deserve clarity on your refund rights before you commit.
Key features of ProWritingAid
The service includes grammar and style analysis, readability reports, alerts for overused words, manuscript evaluation tools and optional plagiarism detection. You can purchase directly from ProWritingAid's website or through Apple's App Store and Google Play, which changes how you cancel and claim refunds.
Why cancellation matters to you
Understanding how ProWritingAid's cancellation works protects you from surprise charges and helps you recover money you're entitled to under New Zealand consumer law. Stopee has guided thousands of New Zealand consumers through exactly this process, so you won't face unexpected hurdles.
Understanding your consumer rights under new zealand law
New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 gives you legal protections when you buy digital services. You have the right to services delivered with due care and skill, and to receive what was advertised.
Your rights with subscription services
If ProWritingAid fails to deliver promised features, charges you after cancellation, or doesn't honour its refund policy, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission (the national consumer protection authority). You also have the right to request a chargeback through your bank if ProWritingAid refuses a legitimate refund claim.
Pro tip: Keep receipts and cancellation confirmations. These documents protect you if ProWritingAid disputes your cancellation or refund request later.
When to invoke your consumer rights
Contact ProWritingAid's support team first at hello@prowritingaid.com or through the help portal. If they refuse your refund request without valid reason, document the conversation and escalate to the Commerce Commission. Stopee recommends this escalation path because it carries legal weight.
Cancellation methods by platform
Your cancellation process depends entirely on where you bought your ProWritingAid subscription. Each platform (web, Apple App Store, Google Play) has different steps and different refund rules.
Cancel your web (direct) subscription
If you subscribed directly on ProWritingAid's website, you cancel through your account dashboard. This method gives you the fastest cancellation confirmation and the clearest refund eligibility.
- Open your web browser and go to the ProWritingAid website.
- Log in using your email address and password.
- If you've forgotten your password, click "Forgot password?" and reset it before proceeding.
- Navigate to My Account, then select Plans.
- This section shows your current subscription, renewal date and billing history.
- Click the "Cancel Subscription" button next to your active plan.
- Review the cancellation notice and confirm your decision.
- ProWritingAid will display your final access date, which is typically the end of your current billing period.
- Take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation for your records.
Warning: Cancelling does not automatically trigger a refund unless you purchased within the last three days. Read the refund policy section below before you cancel.
Cancel your apple app store (iOS) subscription
If you subscribed through Apple's App Store on your iPhone or iPad, Apple manages your subscription and refunds. You must cancel through Apple's settings, not through the ProWritingAid app itself.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen to open Account settings.
- Select Subscriptions.
- This shows every active subscription on your Apple account.
- Find ProWritingAid in the list and tap it.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription".
- Apple will ask you to confirm; select "Confirm Cancellation".
- Note your cancellation date and Apple's final access date.
Pro tip: Apple typically allows refunds within 14 days of purchase if you request them immediately through the "Report a Problem" link in your App Store purchase history. Stopee recommends requesting the refund at the same time you cancel the subscription to avoid delays.
Cancel your google play (Android) subscription
Google Play subscriptions are managed separately from the ProWritingAid app. You cancel through the Google Play Store app, and Google handles refund requests independently.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top left corner.
- Select Subscriptions from the menu.
- This displays all your active Google Play subscriptions.
- Tap ProWritingAid in the list.
- Select "Cancel Subscription" and confirm.
- Google will notify you of your final access date.
- For refunds, tap "See all subscriptions" and locate ProWritingAid, then use the "Report a Problem" option.
Warning: Google Play refunds are only available within 48 hours of purchase on most Android devices. Act quickly if you want a refund.
ProWritingAid pricing and plan options
ProWritingAid offers three main subscription tiers: monthly, yearly and lifetime. Pricing varies depending on whether you buy directly or through an app store, and exchange rates affect New Zealand dollar amounts.
| Plan type | Billing period | Typical NZD cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | Recurring every month | $18-$25 NZD approx. | Testing the tool short-term |
| Yearly | Recurring every 12 months | $100-$150 NZD approx. | Regular writers; eligible for 3-day refund |
| Lifetime | One-time purchase | $180-$250 NZD approx. | Permanent access; eligible for 3-day refund |
| Add-on: Plagiarism | Variable | $30-$50 NZD approx. | Extra checking features |
Note: ProWritingAid does not publish official New Zealand dollar pricing. Your actual cost depends on your payment method's exchange rate and any local currency adjustments. Stopee recommends checking the exact price at checkout before you commit.
How pricing affects your cancellation timeline
Monthly subscriptions give you no refund rights after three days. Yearly and lifetime plans qualify for ProWritingAid's Money-Back Guarantee only within three days of purchase. Once you pass that window, you lose refund eligibility unless ProWritingAid breaches its service contract.
Refund eligibility and how to claim
ProWritingAid offers refunds only under specific conditions. Understanding these rules now prevents disappointment when you cancel.
ProWritingAid's Money-Back guarantee
ProWritingAid guarantees refunds for yearly subscriptions and lifetime plans if you request them within three days of purchase. Monthly subscriptions do not qualify. To claim this refund, you must email hello@prowritingaid.com within the three-day window with your order number and a brief reason.
Pro tip: "Three days" means 72 hours from your purchase time, not three calendar days. If you buy on Monday at 2 p.m., your deadline is Thursday at 2 p.m. Send your refund request before then to stay within the guarantee window.
Refund exclusions you need to know
Monthly subscriptions are never refundable under ProWritingAid's policy. Add-on purchases (plagiarism checks, story credits) are also excluded. Refunds only apply to the primary subscription if you bought directly from ProWritingAid's website.
If you purchased through Apple App Store or Google Play, you cannot request refunds from ProWritingAid. You must work with Apple or Google directly using their refund processes.
What to do if ProWritingAid denies your refund
If ProWritingAid refuses your refund request unfairly, contact your bank and request a chargeback. Provide your bank with proof of the purchase, your cancellation request and ProWritingAid's refusal. Your bank can then pursue the refund on your behalf as a consumer protection measure.
Stopee recommends documenting every email and screenshot throughout this process. Written evidence strengthens your case significantly.
What happens after you cancel
Cancelling doesn't mean instant loss of access. You keep using ProWritingAid until your current billing period ends, but you won't be charged again.
Your access timeline after cancellation
Once you cancel a web subscription, ProWritingAid maintains your access until the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancel mid-cycle, you keep the tool active for the remainder of that payment period. Your account and all saved documents remain intact until access officially ends.
App Store and Google Play subscriptions follow the same principle: you retain access through the end of your paid period.
How to protect your documents before access ends
Before your cancellation takes effect, download or export any writing projects, notes or analysis reports you want to keep. ProWritingAid may not provide download tools after your subscription ends, so act early.
Log into your account, locate your documents or reports section, and save copies to your computer as PDF or Word files. This ensures you never lose work if ProWritingAid's policies change.
Preventing accidental rebilling
Warning: Confirm your cancellation in writing. Once you click "Cancel Subscription," take a screenshot of the confirmation page showing your cancellation date. If ProWritingAid bills you after cancellation, this proof shows you acted in good faith and strengthens your chargeback claim.
Check your bank or credit card statement after your final billing date to ensure no unexpected charges appear. If they do, contact ProWritingAid immediately and escalate to your bank.
Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Cancelling a subscription feels simple, but small errors often lead to wasted money and frustration. We hear these mistakes constantly, and they're entirely avoidable.
Mistake 1: cancelling the app instead of the subscription
Deleting the ProWritingAid app from your device does not cancel your subscription. ProWritingAid continues billing you as long as your subscription is active on your account. You must cancel through your account settings or your app store account, not simply by removing the app.
Mistake 2: missing the three-day refund window
The three-day Money-Back Guarantee begins the moment you purchase, not when you first use ProWritingAid. If you buy on a Friday evening and remember Monday, you've already lost one full day. Send your refund request immediately upon deciding to cancel.
Mistake 3: assuming monthly subscriptions are refundable
ProWritingAid explicitly excludes monthly plans from refunds. If you purchase a monthly subscription and change your mind the next day, you have no legal refund entitlement under ProWritingAid's terms. Always read the fine print before buying a monthly plan.
Mistake 4: not keeping cancellation confirmations
Without proof of cancellation, you cannot dispute charges if ProWritingAid bills you again. Screenshot your cancellation confirmation immediately and save it alongside your purchase receipt. These documents protect you if a dispute arises later.
Mistake 5: forgetting to cancel third-party purchases
If you bought ProWritingAid through a reseller or bundle offer, you may not be cancelling in the right place. Check your original purchase receipt to identify whether you bought from ProWritingAid directly, Apple, Google or a third party. Then cancel in that exact location.
Checklist before you cancel ProWritingAid
Follow this checklist to ensure a smooth, refund-protected cancellation:
- Confirm how many days ago you purchased (if under three days, you qualify for the Money-Back Guarantee).
- Check whether your subscription is monthly (no refund) or yearly/lifetime (refund eligible).
- Verify where you bought the subscription: ProWritingAid website, Apple App Store or Google Play.
- Download and save any documents, reports or projects you need.
- Log into your account and locate the cancellation option for your platform.
- Take a screenshot of the final cancellation confirmation page.
- Email hello@prowritingaid.com if you're requesting a refund (within three days of purchase only).
- Check your bank or card statement one week later to confirm no new charges appear.
Getting support from stopee and consumer authorities
If ProWritingAid refuses to honour your cancellation or denies a refund you believe you're entitled to, you have escalation options. Stopee helps New Zealand consumers navigate these disputes every day by explaining your rights clearly and documenting the timeline.
When to contact the commerce commission
The Commerce Commission (the New Zealand regulator) handles complaints about misleading refund policies, service failures and unfair billing practices. If ProWritingAid has charged you after cancellation, refuses a legitimate refund claim or misrepresented its service, file a complaint at commerce.govt.nz.
Provide the Commission with your purchase receipt, cancellation confirmation, all email correspondence with ProWritingAid and details of any unauthorised charges.

Final summary and next steps
Cancelling ProWritingAid is straightforward once you know your platform and refund eligibility. The key steps are identifying where you bought the subscription, cancelling in the correct location, requesting a refund within three days if eligible, and keeping proof of everything.
Your consumer rights under New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act protect you if ProWritingAid fails to deliver its service or charges you unfairly. If the company refuses a legitimate refund, escalate to the Commerce Commission or your bank.
