Cancel Hitpaw: The Right Way
How to cancel HitPaw in singapore: your complete guide to ending your subscription
Understanding HitPaw and why you might want to cancel
HitPaw is a software company that publishes desktop and online tools for video conversion, editing, and screen recording. You use their products to transform media files quickly and share them across platforms. Many Singaporeans subscribe to HitPaw for professional editing work or content creation, but circumstances change-budgets tighten, priorities shift, or you discover a better tool that fits your workflow.
If you've decided HitPaw no longer serves your needs, you're in the right place. Stopee exists to help you cancel subscriptions without confusion or hidden charges, and this guide walks you through every step specific to HitPaw in Singapore.
What HitPaw offers
HitPaw publishes converters, editors, and screen recording utilities designed for both desktop and web use. The company positions its products as user-friendly alternatives to more complex editing software, with straightforward pricing and support resources on its official site.
Common reasons to cancel HitPaw
You might cancel because you've found a cheaper alternative, you no longer need video editing features, the software didn't meet your expectations, or automatic renewals caught you by surprise. Whatever your reason, Stopee supports your decision and ensures you can exit cleanly.
Your consumer rights in singapore and what they protect
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA) sets the legal framework for your rights as a buyer. Understanding these protections is essential before you cancel.
What the law says about online purchases
Under the CPFTA, a 14-day free-look period does not automatically apply to online purchases you actively initiate yourself. This means if you voluntarily signed up for HitPaw on their website, you do not have a statutory right to cancel within 14 days simply because you changed your mind. However, HitPaw voluntarily offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, which goes beyond your legal minimum-this is a commercial gesture, not a legal obligation.
When you can claim a refund under law
Your legal rights strengthen if HitPaw engaged in unfair trading practices-for example, if they continued to charge you after you confirmed cancellation, or if they misrepresented the product before you paid. The CPFTA also protects you if they fail to deliver goods or services as promised. If HitPaw refuses to honour their own 30-day refund policy or continues to bill you after cancellation, you can escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or pursue a chargeback via your bank.
Your escalation options if HitPaw refuses to cooperate
If HitPaw disputes your refund claim or ignores your cancellation, contact CASE at 6100 0315 or visit case.org.sg. You can also ask your bank or credit card issuer to reverse charges if you cancelled in writing and HitPaw continues to bill you. Stopee recommends keeping all cancellation confirmations and correspondence as evidence.
Pricing and plan options: what you're paying for
Before you cancel, it helps to understand what plan you're on and what you'll lose access to. Check HitPaw's official pricing pages for the current rates-third-party summaries often lag behind reality.
Where to find current pricing
Visit HitPaw's official pricing pages directly at hitpaw.com/pricing or online.hitpaw.com/pricing.html. Prices vary by product (video converter, video editor, screen recorder) and subscription length (monthly, annual, or lifetime). The company frequently runs promotions, so always check their main store at hitpaw.com/store before you decide to cancel, in case a discount makes staying worthwhile.
Common HitPaw subscription tiers
| Plan type | Billing cycle | Typical use case | Cancellation impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | Renews every 30 days | Test before committing long-term | Access ends after current month; easy to exit |
| Annual subscription | Renews every 12 months | Save versus monthly; ongoing work | Prepaid access; refund depends on refund policy |
| Lifetime license | One-time purchase; no renewal | Heavy users; permanent ownership | No cancellation needed; yours to keep forever |
Methods to cancel HitPaw: which path suits you
You have three main routes to cancel HitPaw: through the app store where you bought it, through your HitPaw account centre, or by contacting support directly. Your method depends on where you subscribed.
Cancel via google play or apple app store
If you subscribed through Google Play (Android) or Apple App Store (iOS), you must cancel through that platform-HitPaw cannot override app store billing systems. This protects your payment security and ensures the store recognises the cancellation immediately.
-
For Google Play (Android):
- Open the Google Play Store app on your phone or tablet.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions" then "Subscriptions".
- Find the HitPaw subscription and tap it.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm.
- Google Play will stop auto-renewing immediately, but you keep access until the end of your billing period.
-
For Apple App Store (iOS):
- Go to Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name at the top, then "Subscriptions".
- Find HitPaw and tap it.
- Select "Cancel subscription" and confirm your choice.
- Your access continues until the end of the current billing cycle.
Pro tip: Take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation from the app store. This proves you cancelled if disputes arise later.
Cancel via HitPaw account centre or website
If you subscribed directly through hitpaw.com (not via an app store), you cancel through your HitPaw account. This method gives you the most direct control and fastest response from HitPaw's team.
-
Log in to your HitPaw account:
- Go to hitpaw.com and click "Log In" at the top right.
- Enter your email and password.
- If you forgot your password, click "Forgot password?" and reset it via email.
-
Navigate to your subscriptions:
- Once logged in, find "My Account" or "Account Centre" (the exact label varies).
- Look for "Manage Subscription" or "My Subscriptions".
- You'll see all active subscriptions linked to your account.
-
Select the subscription to cancel:
- Click the product name (e.g., "HitPaw Video Editor Pro").
- Review the details: product, plan type, renewal date, and next charge amount.
-
Verify your identity via email:
- HitPaw sends a verification code to your registered email address.
- Check your inbox (and spam folder) for this code.
- Enter the code in the verification field.
-
Confirm cancellation:
- Review the cancellation summary and any cancellation offers (e.g., "Stay for half price").
- Click the final "Cancel Subscription" button.
- HitPaw displays a confirmation message; note the date your access ends.
Warning: Some cancellation pages show retention offers-discounted rates or free months to keep you subscribed. These are legitimate options, but only accept if you genuinely plan to use HitPaw. If you're certain you want out, skip these offers and proceed with cancellation.
Cancel by contacting HitPaw support directly
If you cannot access your account, the cancellation buttons do not work, or you prefer speaking to a person, contact HitPaw support. The company states it responds within 48 hours.
-
Find the contact page:
- Visit hitpaw.com/support or look for "Contact Us" in the footer.
- Select your region (Singapore) if prompted.
-
Submit your cancellation request:
- Use the support form or email support with your account email, full name, and reason for cancellation.
- Be clear: "I want to cancel my HitPaw subscription effective immediately."
- Include your order number or subscription ID if you have it.
-
Wait for confirmation:
- HitPaw replies within 48 hours with a cancellation confirmation.
- Save this email as proof.
Pro tip: Send your cancellation request via email, not a web form. Email creates a dated paper trail that protects you if HitPaw later claims you never cancelled.
What happens immediately after you cancel
Cancelling HitPaw stops future charges, but access and refund eligibility depend on timing and where you subscribed. Understanding these details prevents confusion.
Your access and timeline after cancellation
In most cases, HitPaw allows you to keep using the software until the end of your current billing period-this is industry standard. For example, if you subscribed on 1 January with a monthly plan and cancel on 15 January, you can use HitPaw until 1 February. After that date, the software either stops working or reverts to a free (limited) version, depending on the product.
If you subscribed via an app store, the store's refund window applies separately. Some app stores offer 48-hour refunds on subscriptions; if you're within that window when you cancel through the app store, you may receive an automatic refund.
Your billing and account status
Once you cancel, HitPaw stops charging your payment method. If you subscribed via Google Play or Apple App Store, the app store processes the cancellation, and you see "Cancelled" on your subscription list. If you subscribed on hitpaw.com, check your account to confirm the status shows "Cancelled"-not "Active" or "Paused".
Warning: Pausing a subscription is not the same as cancelling. A paused subscription resumes automatically after the pause period ends, and you'll be charged again. If you want to exit permanently, always select "Cancel", not "Pause".
Refund eligibility and the HitPaw 30-day guarantee
HitPaw offers a 30-day money-back guarantee for purchases made directly on their website. This policy covers specific scenarios-understand which ones qualify so you know if you're eligible.
When HitPaw will refund you
HitPaw's 30-day refund policy applies if you fall into one of these categories:
- You bought the wrong software by mistake (e.g., Video Editor instead of Video Converter).
- You made a duplicate purchase within 48 hours by accident.
- HitPaw failed to send your registration code within 24 hours of purchase.
- HitPaw continued to charge you after you confirmed cancellation (auto-renewal error).
- The software did not work as described on the sales page (defect or false advertising).
Approved refunds process within 7 working days. HitPaw refunds to your original payment method (credit card, bank transfer, or digital wallet).
When HitPaw will not refund you
HitPaw may decline refunds if you simply changed your mind after 30 days, if you used the software extensively for a month then asked for money back, or if you purchased through an app store (which has its own refund policy separate from HitPaw's guarantee).
Refunds for app store purchases
If you bought HitPaw via Google Play or Apple App Store, the app store's refund policy overrides HitPaw's 30-day guarantee. Google Play typically offers a 48-hour refund window for subscriptions; Apple's App Store offers a 14-day period for subscriptions. Contact the app store directly, not HitPaw, to request a refund on app store purchases.
Pro tip: If you bought a subscription on hitpaw.com and want a refund, reply to your purchase confirmation email and cite HitPaw's 30-day policy by name. This creates a formal record HitPaw must address.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling HitPaw
Cancelling a subscription feels straightforward, but small errors can lead to unexpected charges or lost refund eligibility. Here's what to watch for.
Mistake 1: pausing instead of cancelling
Many subscription services offer a "pause" option that temporarily stops charges but automatically resumes after a set period (often 3 months). If you select pause instead of cancel, HitPaw will bill you again when the pause ends, and you may miss your refund window. Always select "Cancel subscription", not "Pause" or "Suspend".
Mistake 2: cancelling on the wrong platform
If you subscribed via Google Play, cancelling on the HitPaw website will not stop app store charges. Conversely, if you subscribed on hitpaw.com, cancelling via Google Play does nothing. Match the platform where you bought HitPaw to where you cancel-this is critical.
Mistake 3: forgetting to verify your email code
HitPaw requires you to enter a verification code sent to your email address. Many users start the cancellation process but never complete this step, so their subscription never actually cancels. Check your email inbox and spam folder, paste the code in full, and complete the final confirmation button click.
Mistake 4: not saving cancellation proof
If HitPaw disputes your cancellation later or continues to charge you, you need written proof you cancelled. Take a screenshot of every confirmation screen, save cancellation emails, and photograph the date. Stopee has helped thousands of consumers recover lost funds by producing this evidence when companies denied cancellation requests.
Mistake 5: cancelling but not checking your next billing statement
After cancelling, monitor your bank or credit card statement for the next 2-3 billing cycles. If HitPaw charges you again after cancellation, you have grounds for a chargeback. Report unexpected charges to your bank within 60 days of the charge date.

Should you keep or cancel HitPaw: a final comparison
Before you finalise your cancellation decision, weigh the factors below. Sometimes a cheaper plan or competitor tool costs less than you think.
| Factor | Keep HitPaw | Cancel HitPaw |
|---|---|---|
| Price sensitivity | Price is acceptable relative to your income | Monthly cost strains your budget |
| Frequency of use | You edit or convert videos at least 2-3 times per week | You use it rarely; free tools cover your needs |
| Feature match | HitPaw has all features you need; no gaps | You need features HitPaw lacks; competitor tools offer them |
| Learning curve | You've invested time; you know the interface well | You're still struggling after a month; frustration outweighs value |
| Video quality output | Output quality meets or exceeds your standards | Output quality disappoints; competitors deliver better results |
| Contract commitment | You're in an annual plan at a locked-in discount | You're on month-to-month; no penalty for leaving |
If three or more items land in the "Cancel" column, proceeding with cancellation makes financial and practical sense. Stopee encourages you to act decisively once you've decided.
Contact details and escalation if HitPaw refuses to cooperate
If you've followed every step above but HitPaw refuses to cancel, keeps charging you, or denies your refund request, use these contact points to escalate.
HitPaw singapore contact information
HitPaw's registered office in Singapore is listed as HITPAW PTE. LTD. The company publishes support contact details on hitpaw.com/support. Send all escalation emails to support with a clear subject line: "Escalation: Cancelled subscription still being charged" or "Escalation: Refund request denied".
Regulatory authorities in singapore
If HitPaw ignores your cancellation request or refund claim, escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). You can reach CASE at:
- Phone: 6100 0315
- Website: case.org.sg
- Address: 170 Ghim Moh Road, #02-02, Singapore 279621
CASE handles complaints about unfair trading practices, including failure to honour refund policies and continued billing after cancellation. They will mediate between you and HitPaw at no cost.
Your bank as a last resort
If CASE does not resolve the issue within 30 days, or if HitPaw's actions amount to fraud, file a chargeback with your bank or credit card issuer. Provide proof of your cancellation (screenshots, emails) and evidence that HitPaw continued to charge you afterward. Your bank can reverse charges up to 60 days old in Singapore.
Warning: Chargebacks should be your final step, not your first. Attempting a chargeback before formally requesting a refund from HitPaw may violate your payment agreement and could damage your credit rating.
Final thoughts: taking control of your subscriptions
Cancelling HitPaw is straightforward once you know the right steps. Whether you're exiting due to cost, switching to a competitor, or simply no longer needing video editing tools, the process takes fewer than 10 minutes on desktop or app. The key is verifying your identity via email, confirming the cancellation, and saving proof.
Singaporean consumers deserve clarity on how their money flows and when it stops. Stopee has helped thousands of consumers cancel unwanted subscriptions, recover refunds, and take back control of their spending. If you encounter resistance from HitPaw or face unexpected charges after cancellation, Stopee's guides and CASE's free mediation service are available to back you up.
Your next step: log in to your HitPaw account or app store right now, confirm your subscription status, and complete the cancellation process using the method that matches where you subscribed. Then save your confirmation, set a billing reminder, and move forward knowing you've made a clean exit.
