Cancel Moshi: Step-by-Step Instructions

How to cancel your Moshi subscription: your complete irish consumer guide

What Moshi is and why you might want to cancel

Moshi is a subscription-based audio service designed for children aged 0-10, offering sleep stories, mindfulness meditations, music and short learning activities. Parents and guardians subscribe to unlock full access to a library of child-friendly content, typically through monthly or annual billing plans. The service operates across multiple platforms including its own app and third-party app stores like Apple and Google Play, which means your cancellation route depends on where you originally subscribed. At Tocancel, we've tracked Moshi cancellations across Ireland and found that many parents struggle with renewal timing and obtaining clear confirmation that their subscription has ended. Understanding Moshi's structure upfront helps you cancel smoothly and avoid unwanted charges.

How moshi's subscription model works

Moshi uses a straightforward recurring-subscription model. You pay either monthly (billed each month) or annually (billed once per year), and your subscription automatically renews unless you cancel before the renewal date. The company offers occasional promotional pricing and free trial periods to new subscribers. Crucially, if you purchase Moshi through an app store like Apple App Store or Google Play, that platform's billing rules govern your renewal and refund eligibility, not Moshi's alone. This distinction matters enormously when you cancel: a platform cancellation differs from a direct Moshi cancellation.

The annual plan offers significant savings, but if you cancel mid-year, you may forfeit the remainder. Check your last invoice or app store receipt to confirm which plan you're on.

Your consumer rights when cancelling Moshi in ireland

Your right to cancel Moshi is protected by Irish consumer law, and understanding your legal position empowers you to act with confidence.

What irish consumer law says about subscription cancellation

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, as applied in Ireland, you have the right to cancel a distance contract (which includes digital subscriptions) within 14 days from the day you conclude the contract, with no questions asked and no penalty. If Moshi's free trial period counts as part of this window, your 14-day clock begins on the first day you gain access. After the 14-day period, you can still cancel, but Moshi may withhold a refund if the service has already been fully performed. In practice, this means you have a strong legal position to recover money if you cancel within two weeks and haven't substantially used the service. Beyond 14 days, cancellation is permitted under contract law, but refunds depend on Moshi's own policy and your payment method (app store refunds follow Apple or Google's rules, not Moshi's).

Your legal position is clear: Moshi must acknowledge your cancellation request and provide written confirmation within a reasonable timeframe. If the company fails to do so, you have grounds to escalate to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), Ireland's consumer authority. This means you are not powerless; the law stands behind you.

Moshi's stated cancellation policy and what it means for you

Moshi requires you to contact their customer support team to cancel. The company does not offer self-service cancellation via app or web portal, which is a common frustration among Irish parents. You must reach out directly via email or phone. The company states they respond to cancellation requests within 1-3 business days. This lack of self-service cancellation does not override your consumer rights; it simply means you must follow Moshi's process to exercise those rights. Tocancel has found that many users experience delays or unclear responses, which is why documenting your request is essential.

How to cancel your Moshi subscription: step-by-step methods

Your cancellation method depends on where you originally subscribed and whether you want a refund; follow the route that matches your situation.

Cancelling a direct Moshi subscription (via email or phone)

If you subscribed directly through Moshi's website or app, you cancel by contacting customer support.

1. Gather your account details
   • Find your most recent invoice or receipt showing your Moshi subscription
   • Note your email address linked to your Moshi account
   • Locate your subscription ID if available (visible in app settings or invoice)
2. Draft a clear cancellation email
   • Use a straightforward subject line: "Cancellation request for Moshi subscription"
   • Include your full name, account email and subscription ID
   • State your cancellation date: "Please cancel my subscription effective immediately" or "Please cancel before my next renewal on [date]"
   • Keep a copy of this email for your records
3. Send to [email protected]
   • Send from the email address linked to your account
   • Wait for a confirmation email within 1-3 business days
   • If you don't receive a response, check your spam and junk folders
4. Request written confirmation
   • In your email, ask Moshi to confirm cancellation in writing
   • Ask when your subscription will stop being charged
   • Save any confirmation email you receive
5. Escalate if necessary
   • If you receive no response within 5 business days, call (415) 868-4448
   • Keep a record of when you called and who you spoke to
   • If you remain charged after cancellation, contact the CCPC with your documentation

Cancelling a Moshi subscription via apple app store

If you subscribed through Apple, you cancel within the App Store, not through Moshi.

1. Open the App Store on your iPhone, iPad or Mac
2. Tap your profile icon (top right corner)
3. Select "Subscriptions"
4. Find "Moshi" in your active subscriptions list
5. Tap "Moshi" and select "Cancel Subscription"
6. Choose your cancellation date (immediate or at next renewal)
7. Confirm the cancellation
8. Apple sends you a cancellation confirmation email immediately

Apple's standard refund policy allows 14 days for unused subscriptions; if you cancel within 14 days of your first payment, you may receive a refund. Beyond 14 days, you forfeit the remainder of your billing period. Tocancel advises requesting a refund directly from Apple if you believe you qualify, as Moshi does not process these refunds.

Cancelling a Moshi subscription via google play

If you subscribed through Google Play on an Android device, follow this route.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
2. Tap your profile icon (top right corner)
3. Select "Payments and subscriptions"
4. Choose "Subscriptions"
5. Find "Moshi" in your list and tap it
6. Select "Cancel subscription"
7. Confirm your cancellation reason (optional)
8. Choose your cancellation date
9. Google sends you a cancellation confirmation email within 24 hours

Google Play's refund policy mirrors Apple's: you can request a refund within 48 hours of your first payment, or within 7 days of subsequent charges if you cancel immediately. After that window, your subscription ends but you forfeit the remainder of your billing period. Tocancel recommends contacting Google Play support directly if your cancellation falls within these windows and you believe a refund applies.

Understanding moshi's refund policy and your entitlements

Refund eligibility depends on when you cancel, where you subscribed and whether the service has been substantially used.

When you qualify for a refund

You have the strongest refund position if you cancel within 14 days of first payment under Irish consumer law. This window applies regardless of how much content you've accessed. If you cancel beyond 14 days, refunds depend on your payment method and the app store's rules, not Moshi's policy alone. Your legal position shifts after 14 days: Moshi may withhold a refund if the service has been substantially performed. In practice, this means a refund becomes unlikely if you've actively used the service beyond the first two weeks.

How to request a refund

If you believe you qualify for a refund, follow this approach:

1. If you subscribed via Apple App Store: contact Apple Support directly with your cancellation confirmation and state why you qualify for a refund (e.g., "I cancelled within 14 days without substantial use")
2. If you subscribed via Google Play: contact Google Play support with your cancellation confirmation and cancellation date
3. If you subscribed directly: email [email protected] with your cancellation date and request a refund within 14 days of your first payment, citing the Consumer Rights Act 2015
4. Keep all documentation (confirmation emails, invoices, screenshots of your cancellation confirmation)
5. If you receive a refusal, escalate to the CCPC with your evidence

The CCPC can compel Moshi to honour a lawful refund claim. This is your safety net if the company refuses to comply with Irish consumer law.

Common mistakes when cancelling Moshi and how to avoid them

Cancelling a subscription can feel frustrating, especially when multiple platforms are involved; but these pitfalls are avoidable with the right approach.

Mistake 1: cancelling via the wrong platform

Many parents cancel through the Moshi app but never contact Moshi directly, or vice versa. If you subscribed through Apple App Store, cancelling through Moshi's email does not stop Apple from charging you. Similarly, if you subscribed directly through Moshi, cancelling via Apple does not notify Moshi. The result: you continue to be charged by whichever platform still has an active subscription. Check your last receipt to identify where you originally subscribed, then cancel through that channel. At Tocancel, we've seen this confusion cause months of unnecessary charges.

Mistake 2: not requesting written confirmation

Relying on a verbal cancellation or assuming an email alone confirms cancellation leaves you vulnerable. Always ask Moshi to confirm cancellation in writing and state when your last charge will occur. Without this confirmation, you have no proof if you're charged again. Save every email and take screenshots of in-app cancellation confirmations. This documentation protects you if you need to dispute a charge with your bank or escalate to the CCPC.

Mistake 3: cancelling too close to your renewal date

If you cancel the day before renewal, Moshi may process the renewal before your cancellation takes effect. Aim to cancel at least 5 business days before your renewal date to allow processing time. Check your renewal date in your app settings or on your invoice, then work backwards. This small step prevents an unwanted charge and the hassle of requesting a refund.

Mistake 4: ignoring the spam folder

Moshi's response emails sometimes land in spam or junk folders, leaving you thinking the company hasn't replied. If you don't receive a confirmation email within 3 business days, check your spam folder before escalating. Once you locate the confirmation, move it to your inbox and save it. Tocancel recommends adding [email protected] to your contacts to improve email deliverability in future.

What happens after you cancel your Moshi subscription

Cancellation does not end instantly; understanding the timeline helps you avoid confusion and unexpected charges.

Timeline: when your access and charges stop

When you cancel, Moshi typically stops your access at the end of your current billing period (the date your next charge would have been due). If your renewal date is 15 March and you cancel on 10 March, you can access Moshi until 15 March, then access stops. You are not charged on 15 March. Some cancellations take effect immediately, but Moshi's standard practice is to honour your paid period. Clarify this in your cancellation email: "Please confirm whether my access ends immediately or on [renewal date]."

Verifying your cancellation has worked

One week after your cancellation take effect, check your account to confirm you can no longer access Moshi. If you can still access the service, your cancellation did not work. Re-contact Moshi with your original cancellation confirmation and ask them to investigate. If you are charged after your cancellation date, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to dispute the charge, then escalate to the CCPC with all documentation. Tocancel advises keeping your cancellation confirmation and the date you verified access ended; these dates form the backbone of any dispute.

Monitoring your bank and card statements

Check your bank or card statement 2-3 weeks after your cancellation date to confirm no further Moshi charges appear. If you see a charge after cancellation, take a screenshot and file a dispute with your card issuer while simultaneously contacting Moshi support with your cancellation confirmation. Do not assume the charge will disappear; pursue it actively. Most card issuers can reverse unauthorised or unwanted charges within 60-90 days.

Comparison: keep Moshi or cancel and switch

Before you cancel, consider whether Moshi genuinely does not meet your family's needs or whether adjusting your usage would resolve your concerns.

Your next steps: take action with confidence
