Cancel Kingsoft Office: The Right Way

How to cancel Kingsoft Office and stop auto-renewing subscriptions

What Kingsoft Office is and why you might want to cancel

Kingsoft Office, commonly branded as WPS Office, is a cross-platform productivity suite that delivers word processing, spreadsheet and presentation tools across iOS, Android, macOS and Windows devices. The service operates on a freemium model: you access basic features at no cost, but premium subscriptions unlock advanced functionality including AI-assisted editing, expanded templates and cloud storage capacity.

Many Canadian users subscribe to WPS Office expecting regular use, only to discover the service doesn't integrate smoothly with their existing workflow or they prefer Microsoft Office alternatives. Others sign up for a trial period and forget to cancel before the billing cycle begins. At Tocancel, we understand that switching office software isn't trivial, and cancelling a subscription you're not using should be straightforward. This guide walks you through every cancellation method available to you, what to expect after you cancel, and how to recover money if you're charged unfairly.

Why canadians cancel Kingsoft Office

The most common reasons users cancel are overlap with existing subscriptions (many already have Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace through work), unexpected auto-renewal charges, poor customer support responsiveness, or finding the user interface less intuitive than competitors. If you've been charged without explicit consent, or if a trial period converted to a paid subscription without clear notice, you have consumer protections on your side. Tocancel has helped thousands of Canadian consumers identify and cancel unwanted subscriptions before they become recurring charges.

Who should keep a Kingsoft Office subscription

WPS Office makes sense if you work primarily on mobile devices, need strong compatibility with Microsoft Office files, prefer a lower cost than premium competitors, or use the AI-assisted writing features regularly. The yearly plans (ranging from CAD $17.99 to $35.99 depending on the tier) offer better value than monthly options. If you actively use the app and find it meets your needs, keeping your subscription is worthwhile. However, if auto-renewal is the only reason you're still paying, cancellation is your answer.

Kingsoft Office pricing and available plans

Before you cancel, review the plan you're actually paying for and confirm the cancellation method that matches your purchase channel.

Notice that pricing varies significantly depending on when and where you purchased. If you're not sure which plan you're on, check your last receipt from Apple, Google, PayPal or your credit card statement. That detail will point you to the exact cancellation method you need. Tocancel recommends gathering this information before you begin the cancellation process.

Your consumer rights and what they mean for you

Under Canada's consumer protection laws, you have specific rights when cancelling digital subscriptions. Your legal position is straightforward: any company offering a recurring subscription must provide you with a clear, accessible way to cancel it.

Consumer protection act protections in canada

The Competition Act and provincial consumer protection legislation require that cancellation be as easy as the signup process. This means if you subscribed with two clicks, you should be able to cancel with similar ease. If Kingsoft Office makes cancellation deliberately difficult or hidden, that behaviour violates the spirit of Canadian consumer law. The Competition Bureau and your provincial consumer protection agency (such as the Ontario Ministry of Government Services or equivalent in your province) enforce these rules and accept complaints when companies ignore them.

Therefore, if you encounter obstacles when trying to cancel-such as a missing cancellation link, unresponsive customer service, or refusal to process your cancellation request-you have the right to escalate your complaint to the regulatory authority in your jurisdiction.

Your right to a refund

If you cancelled within a reasonable timeframe (typically within 14 days of a charge you did not explicitly approve), you have the right to request a refund. This is especially true if you signed up for a free trial and were charged without clear prior notice. Document the date you made your cancellation request, take screenshots of confirmation messages, and retain email receipts. In practice, companies are more likely to process refund requests when you provide clear evidence that you attempted to cancel promptly.

How to cancel Kingsoft Office step by step

Your cancellation method depends on where and how you purchased your subscription. Follow the steps that match your purchase platform.

Cancel on iOS through apple app store

Most WPS Office subscriptions on iPhone and iPad are billed through Apple. You cancel directly in the App Store settings, not within the WPS app itself.

1. Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone or iPad
2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
3. Select Subscriptions
4. Find and tap WPS Office or Kingsoft Office from the list
5. Tap Cancel Subscription or Edit and select the option to cancel
6. Follow the prompts and confirm cancellation
7. You will receive an email confirmation from Apple within 24 hours

Keep that confirmation email as proof of cancellation. Your access typically continues until the current billing cycle ends, and you won't be charged again.

Cancel on android through google play store

Android subscriptions are managed through Google Play, similar to the Apple process but with slightly different navigation.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
2. Tap the profile icon in the top right
3. Select Payments and subscriptions
4. Tap Subscriptions
5. Choose WPS Office or Kingsoft Office
6. Tap Cancel subscription
7. Select your reason for cancellation (optional but helpful) and confirm

Google sends a confirmation email to the email address linked to your Google Play account. Save this for your records.

Cancel on windows or macOS desktop

Desktop versions of WPS Office may be sold through the Microsoft Store, Mac App Store, or directly through Kingsoft's website. Verify which platform you used when you purchased.

1. If you purchased through Microsoft Store: Open Microsoft Store, go to your account, select Subscriptions, find WPS Office, and click Manage then Cancel
2. If you purchased through Mac App Store: Open the App Store, click your profile, select Subscriptions, find WPS Office, and click Edit then Cancel
3. If you purchased directly from Kingsoft: Log in to your WPS account on the official Kingsoft website, navigate to Subscription or Account Settings, and select Cancel Subscription
4. Confirm cancellation and save any confirmation screen or email

Direct purchases may take 3-5 business days to process, so don't assume your cancellation failed if it doesn't show immediately.

Cancel via email or support contact

If you cannot locate a cancellation option in the app or on the website, you have the right to cancel via email. Tocancel recommends sending a clear cancellation request to Kingsoft Office customer support.

1. Locate the official Kingsoft Office support email or contact form on their website
2. Compose an email with the subject line Cancellation Request
3. Include your full name, email address, account username, subscription plan name, and current billing date
4. State clearly: "I request immediate cancellation of my WPS Office subscription effective immediately. Please confirm this cancellation in writing and provide a cancellation reference number."
5. Send the email and keep a copy for your records
6. Follow up if you don't receive a response within 5 business days

Written evidence of your cancellation request is your strongest protection. Never rely on a phone call alone without follow-up written confirmation.

What happens after you cancel Kingsoft Office

Understanding what occurs after you submit your cancellation request removes uncertainty and helps you verify the process worked correctly.

Your access after cancellation

In most cases, your paid access continues until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you're on an annual plan and cancel on March 15th with a renewal date of June 30th, you keep full access until June 30th. After that date, your account reverts to the free tier, and you lose access to premium features like AI editing and advanced formatting.

You will not be charged again after your current billing cycle ends, assuming your cancellation was processed successfully. Log into your account 24 hours after submitting your cancellation to verify that the subscription status now shows as inactive or cancelled.

Accessing your saved files and data

Cancelling your subscription does not delete your documents. You can continue to access files you created and stored locally on your device. However, if you used WPS Cloud Storage (the premium storage feature), you may lose access to cloud-synced files once your subscription expires. Download or export any important documents to your computer before your access ends.

To download your data securely: Open your WPS account, locate your cloud storage folder, and save copies of any critical files to your local drive or backup storage.

How to claim a refund if you were charged unfairly

If you cancelled but were still charged, or if you believe you were charged without proper notice, you have the right to a refund. Act quickly to maximize your chances of success.

Request a refund from Kingsoft Office directly

Your first step is to contact Kingsoft Office directly and request a refund. This is faster than disputing the charge through your bank.

1. Gather your evidence: cancellation confirmation email, proof of payment (credit card or bank statement showing the charge), and the date you submitted your cancellation request
2. Send a refund request email to Kingsoft Office support with the subject line Refund Request
3. State the amount charged, the date of the charge, and explain that you cancelled the subscription or were charged without consent
4. Request a specific refund amount and a timeline for processing (typically within 14 days)
5. Send this email from the same email address linked to your account
6. Allow 5-10 business days for a response

Many companies process refunds immediately when presented with clear evidence. If Kingsoft Office approves your refund, it appears on your credit card or bank account within 3-5 business days.

Dispute the charge through your bank or credit card company

If Kingsoft Office refuses to refund you, or doesn't respond within 10 business days, escalate to your financial institution. This is called a chargeback or dispute.

1. Contact your bank or credit card provider by phone or through their online banking portal
2. State that you disputed a charge from Kingsoft Office and request a chargeback
3. Provide your evidence: cancellation confirmation, the charge amount, and proof that you attempted to cancel
4. Your bank will open a dispute investigation and typically refund the amount while investigating
5. The investigation usually concludes within 30-60 days

Banks take consumer protection seriously, and unauthorized or disputed charges are regularly reversed in the cardholder's favour. Your financial institution is legally required to investigate your claim.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Kingsoft Office

We know cancellation feels stressful, especially when money is involved. Here are the pitfalls that trap unsuspecting users.

Uninstalling the app without cancelling the subscription

Deleting the WPS Office app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Your account remains active in the background, and you are still charged when the renewal date arrives. You must cancel the subscription itself, not just delete the app. Tocancel emphasizes this repeatedly because it's the single most common reason users are charged after they thought they had cancelled.

Assuming silence means cancellation

If you contact support but don't receive a response, do not assume your cancellation went through. Follow up in writing within 3 business days. Request a written confirmation. Without proof, you have no evidence of cancellation if a charge appears later. Always obtain a cancellation reference number or confirmation email.

Cancelling only the billing method, not the subscription

If you change your payment method or delete your credit card from your account, Kingsoft Office may suspend billing temporarily, but your subscription status typically remains active. The company will eventually ask you to update your payment method to continue billing. You must formally cancel the subscription through the steps outlined in this guide.

Missing the renewal date

If you cancel on the day before your renewal, the charge may have already processed (subscriptions often renew at the start of the day in the company's timezone). Check your account status the day after renewal to confirm you weren't charged. If you were, request an immediate refund within 14 days of the charge.

Comparison: keep or cancel your Kingsoft Office subscription

This table compares reasons to keep or cancel, helping you make a confident decision.

If most of your answers fall in the "cancel" column, proceed with the steps outlined earlier. If they fall in the "keep" column, Kingsoft Office is serving your needs effectively.

Checklist: verify your cancellation was successful

After you submit your cancellation request, use this checklist to confirm everything processed correctly and protect yourself from future charges.

1. Save a screenshot or email showing confirmation that your cancellation was submitted or approved
2. Log into your WPS Office account 24 hours later and verify that subscription status shows as cancelled, inactive, or none
3. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Apple, Google, Microsoft, or Kingsoft (depending on your platform)
4. Record the cancellation reference number if one was provided
5. Mark your calendar with the date your current billing cycle ends (your last day of access)
6. Set a reminder to check your credit card or bank statement 2 weeks after the renewal date to confirm you were not charged
7. If you were charged after cancelling, contact your bank or Kingsoft within 14 days to dispute the charge
8. Keep all documentation (screenshots, emails, reference numbers) for at least 12 months in case you need to escalate a dispute

This documentation protects you if Kingsoft Office claims you never cancelled. You can prove your cancellation with written evidence.

Contact information and escalation

If Kingsoft Office customer support does not respond or refuses to process your cancellation, you have regulatory options. Tocancel recommends escalating through the appropriate channel for your province.

Direct contact channels

Kingsoft Office operates support primarily through in-app support forms and online contact pages. Locate the official support email or contact form on the Kingsoft Office website (typically in the footer or under "Support" or "Contact Us"). Do not contact third-party resellers or unofficial channels.

For direct mail correspondence, no specific postal address for subscription cancellation has been confirmed as current. If you need to send written correspondence, Tocancel recommends first obtaining a confirmed mailing address by emailing support or checking your account settings.

Regulatory escalation in canada

If Kingsoft Office fails to cancel your subscription or refuses to refund an unauthorized charge after 10 business days, file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority:

• Ontario: Ontario Ministry of Government Services, Consumer Protection Office
• British Columbia: BC Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles (Consumer Protection)
• Alberta: Fair Trading Act enforcement through Service Alberta
• Quebec: Office of the Protecteur du consommateur
• Other provinces: Check your provincial government website for the consumer protection ministry or ombudsman

You can also file a complaint with the Competition Bureau of Canada if you believe Kingsoft Office is engaging in deceptive marketing or unfair business practices related to cancellation.

When you file a complaint, provide: your full name and contact information, proof of your subscription and payment, proof of your cancellation request (with date), any correspondence with the company, and the amount in dispute. The regulatory authority will investigate and can compel the company to refund you or take enforcement action.
