How to cancel splashtop in the philippines and stop unwanted charges

What splashtop is and why you might want to cancel

Splashtop is a remote access and support software that lets you connect to your own computers and devices from anywhere over the internet. The company is based in California, USA, and offers various subscription plans for unattended remote access, file transfer, and device management.

How splashtop's subscription model works

Splashtop operates on automatic renewal unless you actively turn it off. Your subscription will charge your payment method automatically at the end of each billing period until you disable auto-renewal in your account settings. For users in the Philippines, this means your card or payment method linked to Splashtop will be charged in Philippine pesos (₱) or USD depending on your subscription source.

The most common plan in the Philippines is Remote Access Solo, priced at approximately ₱4,032 per year. Splashtop announced a price increase effective March 1, 2026, raising the Solo plan to ₱4,147 per year (₱345 monthly billed annually). If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play Store, your billing follows their local payment rules instead of Splashtop's direct system.

Key features you pay for and should understand before canceling

Users subscribe to Splashtop primarily for unattended remote access, which means you can reach your office or home computer even when nobody is physically present at that location. The Solo plan includes file transfer, drag-and-drop capabilities, remote reboot, and remote wake-up functions.

These are practical work tools, not luxury features. If your job depends on Splashtop to access files or support workflows, canceling without a backup plan can interrupt your work immediately. That's why Stopee recommends checking your actual need before canceling and preparing an alternative access method first.

Your consumer rights under philippine law

The consumer act of the philippines protects your cancellation rights

The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) requires that any business selling goods or services must honor your cancellation request and refund legitimate charges. Splashtop must respect your decision to cancel and stop charging your account within the timeframes stated in their Terms of Service.

Under this law, you have the right to demand a refund if Splashtop charges you after you cancel, fails to confirm your cancellation, or makes an error. If the company refuses, you can file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Assistance Division.

What to do if splashtop keeps charging you after cancellation

If you cancel but still see a charge on your statement, document everything immediately. Save your cancellation confirmation email, take screenshots of your account showing auto-renewal is off, and check your bank or payment provider's records.

Contact Splashtop support first and request a written confirmation of your cancellation status. Keep copies of all emails. If they refuse to refund the unauthorized charge within 30 days, you can escalate to the DTI or your payment provider and dispute the transaction. Stopee has helped thousands of consumers navigate these disputes successfully by building a clear paper trail first.

Methods to cancel splashtop based on where you subscribed

Cancel if you subscribed directly on the splashtop website

If you signed up at splashtop.com and entered your payment details directly, you must cancel through your Splashtop account dashboard. This is the quickest path and gives you instant confirmation.

1. Go to my.splashtop.com and log in with your email and password
2. Click your account name or profile icon in the upper right corner
3. Select Subscriptions or Billing from the dropdown menu
   • If you see multiple subscriptions, click the one you want to cancel
4. Look for the option that says Turn off auto-renewal or Cancel subscription
5. Click that button and you may see a brief survey asking why you're leaving
   • You can skip this or answer honestly, but it won't stop your cancellation
6. Confirm the cancellation when prompted
7. Screenshot the confirmation page showing auto-renewal is now "off" or your subscription is "canceled"
8. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Splashtop within 24 hours

Pro tip: Write down your subscription end date before you click cancel. Your current subscription will remain active until that date, so you still have access to remote features until then. This gives you time to move important files or settings to another system.

Cancel if you subscribed through apple app store

If you purchased Splashtop on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac through the App Store, Apple handles your billing and subscription renewal, not Splashtop directly. You must cancel through Apple's system, or Apple will keep charging you.

1. On your iPhone or iPad: Open the App Store app and tap your profile icon (upper right)
2. Tap Subscriptions
3. Find and tap Splashtop in the list
4. Tap Cancel Subscription or Turn Off Auto-Renewal
   • Apple may offer a discounted renewal period; ignore this if you want to cancel completely
5. Confirm you want to cancel when Apple asks
6. Take a screenshot showing the subscription is now marked as "Expires" with a future date

On Mac, open the App Store, click your account name (top right), select Subscriptions, click Splashtop, and click Cancel or Edit. The steps are identical in purpose.

Warning: Canceling through the App Store does not cancel your Splashtop account itself. If you signed in to Splashtop on that device, you can still use it until the current subscription period ends, but you won't be charged after that.

Cancel if you subscribed through google play store

If you purchased Splashtop on an Android device through Google Play, Google manages your renewal and payments. You must cancel through Google Play to stop future charges.

1. On your Android device, open Google Play Store
2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
3. Tap Manage subscriptions
4. Find and tap Splashtop
5. Tap Cancel subscription
6. Choose a cancellation reason from the dropdown (optional)
7. Tap Cancel subscription again to confirm
8. Screenshot the confirmation showing the subscription will end on [date]

Google will send you a confirmation email. Keep this email as proof of your cancellation request.

Timeline and what happens immediately after you cancel

What you need to know about the cancellation timeline

Your subscription remains active until the end of your current paid period, regardless of when you cancel. If you paid for annual access and cancel in month three, you keep using Splashtop for the remaining nine months at no extra charge. After that final billing date passes, your access stops unless you resubscribe.

Stopee recommends canceling at least 48 hours before your renewal date to give the system time to process. However, even if you cancel one hour before renewal, most payment processors allow you to dispute the charge within 30 to 60 days if it goes through in error.

Immediate steps to take after you cancel

Canceling Splashtop should bring relief, but the work isn't completely done until you've confirmed the cancellation stuck. Take these actions within 24 hours of canceling.

• Collect all devices that use Splashtop for remote access and note which ones you'll lose access to after the subscription ends
• Download any important files currently stored in Splashtop's cloud or accessible only through the app
• Export any support ticket history or device logs you may need for future reference
• Log out of Splashtop on all devices if you won't need it again
• Set a calendar reminder for two days before your subscription end date to verify you were not charged again
• Check your email spam folder for cancellation confirmations (sometimes they land there by mistake)

Pro tip: If you've been using Splashtop to access an office computer, inform your IT department or support team of the cancellation date so they can arrange an alternative access method before you lose connectivity. This prevents work interruptions.

Refund eligibility and how to request money back

When splashtop will refund you after cancellation

Splashtop's standard policy does not offer refunds for unused time on a current subscription once you've canceled. However, you may qualify for a refund in specific situations. If Splashtop charged you after you successfully canceled, or if you canceled within 7 to 14 days of the billing date, you have grounds to request a refund.

Canceling is not the same as requesting a refund. You must ask for your money back explicitly. Stopee recommends contacting Splashtop support in writing and referencing the Consumer Act of the Philippines, which requires fair refund policies for digital services.

How to request a refund from splashtop

1. Log into your Splashtop account and find the Contact Support or Help section
2. Click Submit a request and select Billing and Invoices as the category
3. Write a clear subject line: "Refund request for Splashtop subscription [your email]"
4. In the message, include:
   • Your Splashtop account email address
   • The date you canceled
   • The amount charged in PHP or USD
   • Your cancellation confirmation number if you have one
   • The reason you're requesting a refund (e.g., charged after cancellation, canceled within 7 days)
5. Reference the Consumer Act of the Philippines and request a response within 7 business days
6. Copy your full message and save it as a text file before submitting
7. Wait for Splashtop's response email and respond promptly if they ask for clarification

If Splashtop denies your refund request without explanation, escalate to your payment provider (your bank, Apple, or Google) and dispute the charge. They will force a refund if Splashtop cannot justify the charge after you canceled.

Common mistakes people make when canceling splashtop

Why cancellation failures happen and how to avoid them

Many users believe they've canceled successfully only to discover another charge months later. This frustration is entirely preventable if you know where the pitfalls are. The biggest mistake is canceling in the wrong place or on the wrong platform.

Mistake 1: Assuming your Splashtop account cancellation applies to App Store or Google Play subscriptions. If you signed up through Apple or Google, you must cancel there. Canceling your Splashtop account online does not stop app store charges. Stopee has seen this trap trip up hundreds of users. Check where you actually paid your money, not where you log in.

Mistake 2: Not verifying auto-renewal is actually off. After you click "cancel" or "turn off auto-renewal," immediately check that the setting changed. Refresh the page, log out, log back in, and verify the subscription now shows as inactive or expiring on a specific date. Don't assume; always verify.

Mistake 3: Canceling too late and losing access mid-workflow. If you use Splashtop to reach an office computer, canceling on the day of renewal means you might lose access immediately instead of at the end of your billing period. Cancel early and prepare a backup access method at least two weeks in advance.

Mistake 4: Deleting the confirmation email. Your cancellation email is proof if a charge appears later. Store it in a folder labeled "Subscriptions" and don't delete it for at least 90 days after your subscription ends.

Mistake 5: Not checking your statement after the end date. Set a phone reminder for three days after your subscription should have expired. Log into your bank app and verify no charge appeared. If it did, you have strong grounds to dispute it immediately.

Splashtop does not offer prorated refunds for partial periods. Once your billing period starts, you pay the full amount for that period. This is why Stopee advises canceling weeks in advance rather than waiting until the last moment, even though technically you can cancel anytime.

Should you cancel or keep your splashtop subscription?

The key question is simple: Are you actively using Splashtop right now, and would losing it disrupt your work or personal computing? If the answer is no, cancel. If the answer is yes, keep it. Don't pay for "maybe later."
