Cancel Vsco: The Right Way
How to cancel your VSCO subscription in singapore and reclaim your money
What VSCO is and why you might want to leave
VSCO is a popular photo and video editing app that combines a creative community with a suite of professional-grade tools. The service operates on a freemium model, where you get basic presets and editing features at no cost, but unlock hundreds of advanced presets, AI-powered tools, and desktop integrations through a paid membership.
You can use VSCO across iOS, Android, and the web, with subscriptions managed through Apple's App Store, Google Play, or VSCO's own web payment portal powered by Stripe. Many users sign up excited about the creative possibilities, only to realise later that the paid features don't justify the ongoing cost, or that they've moved on to alternative editing software.
If you're ready to step away from VSCO, Stopee is here to guide you through every cancellation method available to you in Singapore, so you can stop paying and reclaim control of your subscription spending.
VSCO's subscription tiers explained
Understanding what you're paying for helps clarify whether cancellation makes sense for your workflow. The Starter tier is completely free and includes 15 presets, basic editing tools, and unlimited uploads to your VSCO profile. The Plus membership (the primary paid option) adds hundreds of presets, advanced editing capabilities, video editing tools, AI features, and desktop app access.
VSCO prices its Plus plan differently depending on your billing cycle and payment platform. Annual subscriptions are significantly cheaper per month than monthly plans, which is why many users feel locked in after committing to a yearly payment upfront.
Common reasons singapore users cancel VSCO
You might cancel because the editing features haven't lived up to your expectations, you've found a cheaper alternative like Snapseed or Lightroom Mobile, or simply because you've stopped editing photos regularly and the subscription has become unnecessary expense.
Some users also cancel because they prefer community-focused apps, disagree with VSCO's content moderation policies, or discovered that the free tier covers all their actual editing needs. Whatever your reason, cancelling should be straightforward, and Stopee ensures you know exactly what to do.
Pricing breakdown for VSCO in singapore
Here's the current pricing structure for VSCO subscriptions available to Singapore users.
| Plan | Monthly cost (SGD) | Annual cost (SGD) | Best for | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | Free | Free | Casual users | 15 presets, basic editing, community access |
| Plus (monthly) | $5.99 | $71.88/year | Month-to-month flexibility | 800+ presets, video editing, AI tools, desktop app |
| Plus (annual) | $3.08 | $36.99 | Committed photographers | All Plus features at 38% discount |
Annual pricing represents better value per month, but also locks you into a commitment. If you sign up for the annual plan and cancel within a few months, you forfeit the upfront payment unless your payment platform (Apple or Google) grants a refund within their specific timeframes.
Should you cancel VSCO? the honest assessment
Signs you should cancel today
Cancel immediately if you haven't opened VSCO in more than a month, if you're paying for Plus but using only the free tier features, or if you've switched to a different editing app you prefer. You should also cancel if the annual cost ($36.99) no longer aligns with your actual photo editing frequency, or if you feel frustrated by the app's community moderation policies.
Additionally, cancel if you're testing a new app and realise VSCO doesn't fit your workflow, or if you're on a tight budget and need to audit discretionary subscriptions. Stopee's core mission is helping you eliminate wasteful spending, so if VSCO isn't delivering value, cancellation is the right move.
Reasons to keep your VSCO subscription
Keep paying if you edit photos or videos multiple times per week and rely on VSCO's presets and tools as part of your creative process. The annual plan makes sense if you're a serious photographer or content creator who uses the desktop app integration and AI-powered features regularly.
You might also keep VSCO if you're part of an active community within the app and value the social features, or if you've invested time curating your aesthetic within the platform. However, even serious users should review their spending quarterly to ensure they're actually getting monthly value equivalent to the cost.
How to cancel VSCO on iPhone (Apple app store)
Cancelling your VSCO subscription on iPhone requires you to manage it through Apple's subscription settings, not through the VSCO app itself. Apple controls all App Store subscriptions, and VSCO cannot cancel your membership on your behalf.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone and tap your name at the top of the screen.
- This takes you to your Apple ID account page.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- You'll see all active and expired subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
- Find and tap VSCO in the subscription list.
- If you have multiple subscriptions, scroll through to locate VSCO clearly.
- Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the VSCO subscription details page.
- Apple will ask you to confirm why you're cancelling (optional feedback).
- Confirm the cancellation by tapping Cancel Subscription again when prompted.
- You'll receive a confirmation message stating your subscription ends on a specific date (the end of your current billing period).
- Verify the cancellation by returning to the VSCO subscription entry and confirming it now shows Expired or a future expiration date, not Renews On.
- Some users miss this step and worry they've failed to cancel; checking confirms you've completed the process.
Pro tip: If you can't find Subscriptions in your Settings, ensure you've tapped your name (Apple ID) at the very top of Settings, not just scrolled into the general Settings menu.
Warning: Deleting the VSCO app from your iPhone does NOT cancel your subscription. You must cancel through Settings, or you'll continue to be charged.
How to cancel VSCO on android (Google play store)
Android users manage VSCO subscriptions through the Google Play Store app, not within VSCO itself. Google Play holds the billing relationship and the only way to stop charges is to cancel through Google's platform.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone.
- Tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
- Tap Payments and subscriptions from the menu that appears.
- You may need to tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) if Payments isn't immediately visible.
- Tap Subscriptions to view all active subscriptions on your Google account.
- Google lists both active and cancelled subscriptions; locate VSCO in the active list.
- Select VSCO from the subscription list.
- This opens the subscription details page showing your billing cycle and next renewal date.
- Tap Cancel subscription at the bottom of the page.
- Google Play will present a series of screens asking if you're sure and offering retention offers.
- Confirm your cancellation by tapping Cancel subscription on the final confirmation screen.
- You'll receive an on-screen confirmation and an email to your registered Google account address.
Pro tip: Google Play often shows you a retention offer (like a discount) before finalising cancellation. Review this carefully, but if you're certain you want to leave VSCO, tap Cancel subscription again to proceed.
Warning: Uninstalling the VSCO app does NOT cancel your subscription. You must complete the cancellation steps in Google Play, or your charges will continue.
How to cancel VSCO on the web (direct billing via stripe)
If you signed up for VSCO directly through vsco.co and paid with a credit card, your subscription is managed through VSCO's Stripe payment portal. This method gives you more direct control but requires logging into your VSCO account.
- Go to vsco.co and log in with your VSCO account username and password.
- If you've forgotten your password, use the Forgot Password link on the login page.
- Once logged in, navigate to your Account settings (usually accessed via a profile icon or menu in the top right corner).
- Look for a Billing, Subscription, or Account option in the menu.
- Tap or click Manage Billing or Subscription settings.
- This opens the Stripe payment portal linked to your VSCO account.
- Find your active Plus subscription in the Stripe portal and select it.
- You'll see your billing amount, next renewal date, and payment method on file.
- Click Cancel Subscription (or similar language in the Stripe portal).
- Stripe will ask you to confirm and may ask for feedback on why you're cancelling.
- Confirm the cancellation on the final confirmation screen.
- You'll receive a cancellation confirmation email from VSCO or Stripe.
Pro tip: Web-based cancellations typically process immediately, unlike App Store and Google Play cancellations which honour your paid period through its end date. Check your confirmation email for your exact cancellation effective date.
Warning: If you pay through Stripe on the web but also have a separate subscription linked to your App Store or Google Play account, you have two separate subscriptions. You must cancel both independently to stop all charges.
What happens after you cancel VSCO
Access and features during your final paid period
Once you cancel, VSCO continues to provide all Plus features (presets, AI tools, video editing, desktop access) until the end of your current billing period. If you cancelled mid-cycle, you retain full access until your renewal date passes. This means you haven't "lost" anything by cancelling; you're simply preventing future charges.
Your cancellation becomes effective immediately within VSCO's system, but your paid access persists until the final day of your billing cycle as a courtesy.
Your account after the paid period expires
Once your paid period ends, your VSCO account automatically downgrades to the free Starter tier. You lose access to premium presets, video editing tools, and AI features, but your profile, photo uploads, and community presence remain intact on the free account. This means your followers can still see your work, and you can continue editing with the 15 free presets and basic tools.
You can reactivate a paid subscription at any time if you change your mind, and all your content and settings will be there waiting.
Data retention and account deletion
Cancelling your subscription does not delete your VSCO account or erase your uploaded photos and edits. Your profile remains public (unless you've made it private) and your contributions to the community stay visible. If you want to completely remove yourself from VSCO, you must separately delete your account through the Account settings.
Deleting the VSCO app from your phone does not affect your subscription or account; the app is just software on your device, while your subscription and account data live on VSCO's servers. You can reinstall the app anytime and your account will still be there.
Can you get a refund from VSCO?
VSCO's official refund policy
VSCO's terms of service explicitly state that the company does not issue refunds for any reason, including if you cancel mid-cycle. The company is very clear on this point: once you've paid for a subscription period, VSCO will not reverse the charge directly.
However, this does not mean you have zero options. Your payment platform (Apple, Google, or your card issuer) may have refund rights independent of VSCO's policy, and consumer protection laws in Singapore may also apply.
Refund routes by payment method
Your refund options depend entirely on which platform processed your original payment.
| Payment platform | Refund window | How to request | Success rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple App Store | Up to 90 days from purchase | Visit reportaproblem.apple.com, find VSCO, tap Report a Problem, select I would like a refund | High if within 14 days |
| Google Play Store | Up to 48 hours after purchase | Open Google Play Store, tap Menu, Payments and subscriptions, Purchases, VSCO, Request a refund | High if within 48 hours |
| Stripe (web) | Depends on card issuer | Contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the charge, or request via Stripe customer support | Moderate; card issuer has final say |
Pro tip: Apple is known for being generous with refunds within the first 14 days of a purchase, even if you've used the service. If you just realised VSCO isn't for you, file a refund request immediately through Apple's reportaproblem.apple.com portal.
Warning: Google Play's 48-hour refund window is very tight. If you signed up more than two days ago, Google will likely deny your refund request, though you can appeal.
Your consumer rights in singapore
Protection under the consumer protection (Fair trading) act
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA) protects you when you purchase digital services like VSCO subscriptions. Under the Act, you have the right to expect that goods or services are of merchantable quality, fit for purpose, and accurately represented.
If VSCO's service fails to deliver what's advertised (for example, presets that don't work, crashing video editor, or service outages that prevent access during your billing period), you may have grounds to request a refund or compensation even beyond VSCO's stated non-refund policy.
Escalation to CASE if VSCO refuses
If you believe VSCO has breached the CPFTA and the company refuses to acknowledge your complaint or offer a resolution, you can escalate to CASE (Consumers Association of Singapore). CASE provides free dispute resolution services to Singapore consumers and can mediate between you and VSCO.
Visit www.case.org.sg to file a complaint or contact CASE directly. They take subscription disputes seriously, especially if you can demonstrate that VSCO misrepresented features or failed to deliver the service you paid for.
Stopee recommends documenting any service failures (screenshots, emails, dates and times) before you escalate to CASE, as this strengthens your case considerably.
Common mistakes when cancelling VSCO
Cancelling a subscription can feel stressful, especially if you're worried about continued charges. Let's clear up the mistakes most users make so you avoid them.
Deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
The single most common mistake is deleting the VSCO app from your phone and assuming the subscription is gone. It isn't. Your subscription lives on Apple's, Google's, or Stripe's servers, not on your device. Deleting the app only removes the software; your billing relationship and upcoming charges remain active.
You must explicitly cancel through Settings (iPhone), Google Play (Android), or your VSCO account (web). Stopee cannot stress this enough: app deletion does not equal subscription cancellation.
Cancelling only one payment method if you have multiple subscriptions
Some users have separate VSCO subscriptions on both their App Store account and Google Play account, or a web subscription alongside a platform subscription. When you cancel through one platform, it doesn't affect the others. You must cancel each subscription independently.
Check all three payment methods to ensure you've cancelled every active VSCO subscription. Log into your App Store account, Google Play account, and vsco.co to verify no active subscriptions remain.
Forgetting to cancel before the billing date
If you procrastinate on cancellation until after your renewal date has passed, you've just paid for another full month or year. While you may still request a refund within the platform's timeframe (Apple: 90 days; Google: 48 hours), it's far easier to cancel before the renewal occurs.
Mark your calendar for one week before your renewal date and cancel by then. This ensures you don't accidentally pay for another cycle.
Not confirming cancellation through the confirmation email
After you submit a cancellation request, you'll receive a confirmation email from Apple, Google, or VSCO. Some users ignore this email and later panic thinking the cancellation didn't work. Open that email, read it carefully, and note your final billing date. This is your proof of successful cancellation.
Cancellation checklist before you finish
Before you consider your cancellation complete, work through this checklist to confirm everything's in order.
| Task | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cancelled on iPhone/App Store | ☐ | If you use iOS, verify Subscriptions shows VSCO as Expired or with a final renewal date |
| Cancelled on Android/Google Play | ☐ | If you use Android, verify Google Play Subscriptions list shows VSCO as Cancelled |
| Cancelled on VSCO web | ☐ | If you have a Stripe/web subscription, confirm it's cancelled in your Account > Billing |
| Received cancellation confirmation email | ☐ | Save this email as proof; note the final billing date |
| Final billing date recorded | ☐ | You can continue using Plus features until this date; after it, you revert to Starter |
| No duplicate subscriptions remain active | ☐ | Double-check all payment methods (App Store, Google Play, web) to ensure no subscriptions linger |
