How to cancel InShot and stop paying for video editing features you don't use

What is InShot and why you might want to cancel

InShot is a mobile-first video and photo editing application that lets you create, trim, filter and share content directly from your phone. The app runs on both iOS and Android, making it accessible whether you use an iPhone or Android device. While InShot offers a robust free tier with basic editing tools, its paid subscription unlocks premium features like watermark removal, advanced effects and ad-free editing.

Many users in Singapore download InShot intending to edit videos occasionally, then find themselves charged monthly when they've moved on to other tools or simply don't need the Pro features anymore. If you've subscribed to InShot and realise you're no longer using the app-or the monthly charge no longer justifies your editing needs-cancelling your subscription will stop future charges while preserving your existing videos and account data.

InShot's main features and subscription tiers

InShot's free version gives you timeline editing, basic filters, text overlays and the ability to export videos to social platforms like TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. The watermark appears on free exports, which many creators find limiting.

Paid options include InShot Pro (available monthly at S$5.98 or annually at S$19.98), which removes watermarks, unlocks premium effects and eliminates ads. You can also purchase one-time feature packs or ad removal separately. For casual editors, the free version often suffices; for serious creators, the Pro subscription may justify its cost. If you fall into neither category, cancelling saves you real money.

Why you should cancel InShot

Cancel InShot if you've found a different editing tool that suits your workflow better, if you're editing less frequently than you anticipated, or if the monthly fee no longer aligns with your actual usage. Some users cancel because they upgrade to desktop editing software; others simply lose interest in creating video content. Whatever your reason, cancelling stops automatic renewal and prevents surprise charges on your next billing date.

Your consumer rights when cancelling InShot in singapore

Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you when purchasing digital services, though some provisions differ from physical goods.

What the consumer protection act means for your InShot subscription

Under Singapore law, subscription services must be transparent about their terms, charges and cancellation options. InShot and the app stores (Apple and Google) must clearly disclose recurring billing before you're charged. If you were not clearly informed that your free trial would convert to a paid subscription, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your payment provider or request a refund through the relevant app store.

Digital content downloaded or accessed immediately does not carry a 14-day cooling-off period like physical goods do. However, if you can demonstrate a billing error-such as being charged after a trial should have ended-you retain the right to request a refund. Keep your transaction receipts and email confirmations to support any refund claim.

When to escalate to the consumers association of singapore

If InShot, Apple or Google refuses to process a refund you believe you're entitled to, contact the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or file a complaint with the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS). Document everything: your subscription date, all charges, your cancellation attempt and the date you attempted to cancel. This documentation strengthens your case if escalation becomes necessary.

How to cancel InShot on iOS

Cancelling an InShot subscription on iOS requires you to access Apple's subscription management portal rather than the InShot app itself. This is the most direct route to avoid unwanted charges.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
   • Look for the grey gear icon on your home screen.
2. Tap your name or Apple ID at the top of the Settings menu.
   • If you see "iCloud" instead, scroll to find your Apple ID profile section.
3. Select Subscriptions.
   • This shows all active and expired subscriptions tied to your Apple account.
4. Find InShot in the list and tap it.
   • If you have multiple subscriptions, scroll to locate InShot Pro or whichever InShot plan you subscribed to.
5. Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen.
   • You may see options to pause billing instead; choose Cancel to end the subscription entirely.
6. Confirm your cancellation when Apple prompts you.
   • Apple will ask if you're sure you want to cancel. Tap the red Confirm button to proceed.

Pro tip: Your paid access to InShot Pro continues until the end of your current billing cycle-you won't lose features mid-month. Check your cancellation confirmation email to confirm the exact end date of your access.

Warning: Simply deleting the InShot app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. You must complete the steps above or your subscription will renew automatically.

How to cancel InShot on android

Android users manage subscriptions through Google Play Store, which operates differently from Apple's system. The process is straightforward but timing matters to avoid a surprise charge.

1. Open Google Play Store on your Android device.
   • Tap the colourful Play Store icon on your home screen or app drawer.
2. Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
   • This opens a dropdown menu with account options.
3. Select Subscriptions or Manage subscriptions.
   • The exact wording varies by Android version, but look for "Subscriptions" in the menu.
4. Find InShot and tap it.
   • Google Play displays all active subscriptions with their next billing date.
5. Tap Cancel subscription.
   • You may be asked why you're cancelling; this feedback helps Google and InShot, but doesn't affect your cancellation.
6. Confirm cancellation.
   • Tap the final confirmation button to end your subscription.

Pro tip: Google Play shows your next billing date prominently on the subscription page. Cancel at least 24 hours before this date to ensure your cancellation processes in time and you're not charged for the next month.

Warning: If you're renewing in the next 24 hours, consider waiting until after renewal, then cancelling immediately. This guarantees you won't be charged twice.

How to cancel InShot within the app or on web

You can also manage your InShot subscription directly through InShot's settings or web portal if you prefer a unified approach. This method takes you to the same cancellation process but keeps everything inside one interface.

1. Open the InShot app on your device.
   • Launch the app as you normally would.
2. Tap your profile icon or user menu.
   • This is usually located in the top-left or top-right corner of the home screen.
3. Navigate to Settings.
   • Look for a gear icon or "Settings" label.
4. Select Manage Subscription or Account.
   • InShot will direct you to either the App Store/Google Play subscription page or its own web portal.
5. Tap Cancel Subscription.
   • Complete the cancellation as prompted by your platform.

Cancelling through the app achieves the same result as cancelling through your device settings. Your access continues until your billing cycle ends, and auto-renewal switches off immediately.

What happens after you cancel InShot

Cancelling your subscription triggers several important changes to your account and access-understanding these helps you plan your next steps.

Your access during the grace period

After you cancel, InShot Pro features remain available until your current billing period ends. If you cancelled on the 15th of the month but your renewal date is the 25th, you keep full Pro access until the 25th. You don't lose watermark removal, premium effects or ad-free editing partway through the month.

Use this grace period to download or export any projects you're actively working on, especially if you plan to switch editing tools.

Your account and project files after cancellation

Cancelling your subscription does not delete your InShot account or any videos and projects you've created. Your files remain on your device and in your InShot account (if you're signed in). Once your paid period expires, you'll revert to the free tier's features but keep everything you've made.

If you want to permanently remove your account and all associated data, you must separately request account deletion through InShot's settings or support contact. Cancelling the subscription alone doesn't erase your account.

Auto-renewal and future billing

Once you cancel, auto-renewal switches off. Google and Apple will not charge your payment method on your next scheduled renewal date. Verify your cancellation by checking your subscription status in your device settings a few days later-the status should show "Cancelled" or indicate no active subscription.

InShot pricing and subscription plans in singapore

Understanding InShot's pricing structure helps you decide whether cancellation makes financial sense for your situation.

For most users in Singapore, the monthly Pro plan at S$5.98 offers reasonable value if you edit weekly. If you edit less frequently, the free tier covers most needs. If you edit multiple times per week professionally, the annual plan at S$19.98 saves you nearly S$52 over 12 months compared to paying monthly.

Will you receive a refund after cancelling InShot

Refunds depend on your specific circumstances and the policies of Apple or Google, who process InShot payments on your behalf.

InShot's standard refund policy

InShot does not issue pro-rata refunds for unused portions of your subscription. If you cancel on day 5 of a 30-day billing cycle, you do not receive a refund for the remaining 25 days. Your subscription remains active until the end of that billing period, but no money is returned.

This is typical for subscription services and reflects the fact that you've already received access to Pro features during your subscription period.

How to request a refund through apple or google

You can request a refund directly from Apple or Google if you believe a billing error occurred-for example, if you were charged after a free trial expired without clear notification, or if you were charged twice in one month.

For Apple: Open the App Store, tap your profile icon, select Purchase History, find the InShot charge, tap the three dots next to it and select Report a Problem. Choose your reason and submit. Apple reviews your claim and typically responds within 48 hours.

For Google Play: Open Google Play Store, tap your profile icon, select Manage my account, go to the Payments and subscriptions section, find your InShot purchase and select Report a problem. Google will guide you through the refund request process. Decisions usually come within 3-5 business days.

Pro tip: Frame refund requests factually. Avoid emotional language. Say "I was not clearly informed the trial would convert to a paid subscription" rather than "I feel cheated." App store support teams respond better to specific, documented claims.

Refund eligibility and exceptions in singapore

Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act does not grant an automatic 14-day cooling-off period for digital content once it's been delivered or accessed. However, if InShot or the app store violated disclosure requirements-hiding the subscription charge in small text, for instance-you have grounds for a refund claim.

Keep all transaction receipts, email confirmations and screenshots of the app's billing disclosures. If Apple or Google denies your refund and you believe the denial is unjust, escalate to CASE or the CCCS with this documentation.

Common mistakes when cancelling InShot

Many people cancel InShot but don't realise they've missed a critical step-here's what to watch for so you cancel cleanly and avoid unnecessary charges.

Deleting the app without cancelling the subscription

This is the most common error. Deleting InShot from your phone does nothing to stop your subscription or auto-renewal. Your payment method will still be charged on renewal day, and you won't notice because the app is no longer visible on your home screen.

Always cancel through Settings (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) before deleting the app. The cancellation process takes two minutes and prevents this costly mistake.

Cancelling on one platform but not the other

If you've subscribed on both iOS and Android-perhaps you switched devices mid-year-you have two separate subscriptions on two separate platforms. Cancelling on iOS does not cancel your Google Play subscription and vice versa. You must cancel both independently.

Check both your Apple and Google accounts to see if you have active InShot subscriptions on each. Stopee recommends taking a screenshot of your subscription status on both platforms after cancellation to confirm both are marked as cancelled or inactive.

Missing the 24-hour cutoff on google play

Google Play requires cancellations to process at least 24 hours before your renewal date. If your renewal is scheduled for tomorrow and you cancel today, the charge may still go through because Google's system hasn't processed your cancellation in time.

Check your renewal date before cancelling. If renewal is within 24 hours, wait until after the charge posts, then cancel immediately to prevent the next month's charge.

Not verifying cancellation confirmation

After cancelling, you should receive a confirmation email from Apple or Google. Some users don't check their inbox and later find themselves charged because they assume the cancellation went through without confirming.

Verify your cancellation by checking your subscription status in Settings or Google Play a few hours after cancelling. The status should show "Cancelled", "Inactive" or no subscription listed. If it still shows "Active", try cancelling again or contact Apple/Google support.

After cancellation: your checklist and next steps

Cancelling InShot is quick, but ensuring the cancellation sticks requires a few verification steps.

1. Confirm your cancellation in your device settings (iOS Settings > Subscriptions or Google Play Store > Subscriptions).
   • The status should show "Cancelled" within a few hours.
2. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Apple or Google.
   • This email serves as proof if you need to dispute a charge later.
3. Note the end date of your access (your final billing date).
   • Mark this in your calendar so you know when you'll revert to the free tier.
4. Download or export any InShot projects you want to keep before your access expires.
   • You can continue editing for free after the billing period ends, but without Pro features.
5. Verify in 2-3 days that your subscription still shows as cancelled.
   • If it reactivates, contact Apple or Google support immediately.
6. When your billing period ends, check that you're no longer charged.
   • Review your next payment statement to confirm no InShot charge appeared.

Stopee's experience helping thousands of consumers cancel unwanted subscriptions shows that verification saves you money and stress. Take five minutes to check these items and you avoid the surprise charge that catches most people off guard.

Deciding whether to keep or cancel InShot

Before you cancel, consider whether InShot still serves a purpose in your creative workflow.

Honestly evaluate your last three months of app usage. If you've opened InShot fewer than five times and exported fewer than three projects, cancelling is almost certainly the right call. Subscriptions thrive on inertia-you pay because you forget to cancel, not because you use the service.

Frequently asked questions about cancelling InShot

Can i pause my InShot subscription instead of cancelling?

Apple and Google offer pause options on some subscriptions, allowing you to temporarily halt billing without cancelling. However, InShot's subscription pause feature varies by platform and region. Check your subscription page to see if a pause option appears. If not, cancelling remains your alternative.

Will i lose my InShot projects if i cancel?

No. Cancelling your subscription does not delete your projects or account. Your files remain accessible even after you revert to the free tier. You simply lose access to Pro features like watermark removal and premium effects. Re-subscribe anytime to regain Pro features on your existing projects.

Can i get a refund if i cancel InShot mid-month?

InShot does not issue pro-rata refunds for unused subscription time. You keep Pro access until the end of your billing period, but the money is not refunded. You can request an exception refund from Apple or Google if you believe a billing error occurred (e.g., you were incorrectly charged for a trial).

How long does it take for InShot to stop charging me?

Cancellation takes effect immediately, but the timing depends on your platform. Apple typically processes cancellations within hours; Google Play requires 24 hours to process. Your next renewal charge will not occur as long as cancellation completed before your renewal date.

Do i need to contact InShot directly to cancel?

No. You cancel through Apple's App Store or Google Play Store, not through InShot itself. This protects you because the app store processes your refund and subscription management independently of the app publisher.

Stopee's guides make cancelling straightforward by walking you through every platform's exact steps. Bookmark this page, follow the instructions for your device, and you'll be done in under five minutes.
