Cancel Beacons: The Right Way

How to cancel Beacons and protect your creator earnings in india

What Beacons is and why creators choose it

Beacons is a creator-focused software platform that lets you build link-in-bio landing pages, email lists, digital storefronts and membership pages without coding or paying designers. The platform bundles payment collection, AI-powered content generation and analytics into tiered subscription plans priced in USD, then converted to Indian Rupees at your payment gateway's exchange rate at billing time.

You may have signed up to monetize your audience, sell digital products or centralize your online presence across social channels. If the platform no longer delivers value or your needs have changed, Tocancel is here to help you understand your cancellation rights and walk you through the process with confidence. Whether you subscribed via the web, Apple App Store or Google Play, your path to cancellation is clear once you know the steps.

Main features you get across Beacons plans

The Free plan offers unlimited link-in-bio pages, a basic media kit template and 30 daily AI credits, ideal for testing whether the platform fits your workflow. Paid tiers unlock custom domains, expanded AI credits, higher email sending capacity and commerce features like memberships and white-label storefronts. Creator Max includes white-glove onboarding and priority support, designed for teams scaling rapidly.

Why you might decide to cancel

You may cancel because you've found a competitor better suited to your needs, your subscription costs have risen beyond your budget, you no longer generate revenue to justify the monthly fee, or you want to consolidate tools and reduce your platform footprint. Whatever your reason, Tocancel recognizes that cancelling a subscription should be straightforward and free from pressure tactics.

Beacons pricing in india and what you pay each month

Here is a transparent breakdown of Beacons subscription costs in Indian Rupees, converted from USD pricing at approximately ₹83 per dollar (exact amounts vary depending on GST, your payment method and live exchange rates at each billing cycle).

Understanding your billing and payment method

If you subscribed via the Beacons website, Beacons bills your card monthly in USD and your payment gateway (bank, credit card provider or digital wallet) converts that to INR at their current exchange rate. If you subscribed via the Apple App Store or Google Play, Apple and Google handle all billing, not Beacons directly. This distinction matters when you cancel, because your cancellation destination differs depending on your payment source. Save your receipts from every billing cycle; you will need them if you dispute a charge or request a refund through consumer protection channels.

How to cancel Beacons on the web

Cancelling your Beacons subscription from a web browser is the most direct method and takes around 5 minutes when you follow these steps carefully.

Step-by-step web cancellation process

1. Open your web browser and visit the Beacons login page or app at beacons.ai.
   • Tip: Log in from the same browser or device you used to set up your account, as this reduces authentication delays.
2. Enter your email address and password, then click "Sign in."
   • If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot password?" and follow the email recovery link before attempting to log in again.
3. Once logged in, locate your Account Settings. This is usually a gear icon or "Account" menu in the top-right corner of the screen.
   • Look for labels like "Settings," "Preferences" or "My account"-they all lead to the same place.
4. In Account Settings, find the "Billing" or "Subscriptions" tab. Do not confuse this with "Payment methods"; you need the Billing section to manage and cancel active subscriptions.
   • If you see tabs like "General," "Notifications," "Integrations" or "Security," scroll down or look for a separate Billing panel.
5. Locate your active paid subscription (it will show your current plan name and the next billing date).
   • You may see a "Manage," "Edit," or "Change plan" button next to it-click any of these.
6. Look for a "Cancel subscription" button, often positioned at the bottom of the plan details or inside a menu marked "More options."
   • You may encounter a retention offer, feedback survey, or discount code. These are optional; you are not required to accept them to cancel.
7. Click "Cancel subscription" and confirm your cancellation in any popup that appears.
   • Write down the cancellation confirmation number (if provided) and the date you cancelled. Screenshot this page for your records.
8. Return to your Billing section to verify that your subscription status now shows "Cancelled" or "No active subscription." You have successfully cancelled when this change appears.
   • Your access may end immediately or at the end of your current billing period-Beacons typically ends access at the next billing date, not on the day you cancel.

Important details about web cancellation timing

When you cancel via the web, your active subscription ends at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately. This means if you were billed on the 15th of the month and you cancel on the 20th, you retain access until approximately the 15th of the following month. Beacons does not issue refunds for the unused portion of your month; this is standard industry practice and is permitted under subscription terms. Therefore, the best time to cancel is just after you have been billed, so you use the maximum value from that billing cycle before your access closes.

How to cancel Beacons on mobile and app stores

If you subscribed via the Apple App Store or Google Play instead of the web, you must cancel through that app store platform, not through Beacons itself, because Apple and Google handle the billing relationship, not Beacons.

Cancel Beacons via the apple app store (iOS)

1. Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone or iPad.
   • Do not open the Beacons app itself; you are managing the subscription, not the app.
2. Tap your account icon in the top-right corner (usually your profile picture or initials).
   • If you see a menu, look for "Account Settings" or "App Store settings."
3. Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
   • This shows every active and cancelled subscription linked to your Apple ID.
4. Find "Beacons" in your active subscriptions list and tap it.
   • You will see your plan name, renewal date and pricing.
5. Tap "Cancel subscription" or "Edit subscription."
   • Apple will ask you to confirm your cancellation and may offer a retention discount or warning. You are not obligated to accept any offer.
6. After you confirm, your subscription status should show "Cancelled" or "Ends on [date]." Save a screenshot as proof.
   • Your Beacons access ends on the date shown, which is typically your next renewal date.

Cancel Beacons via google play store (Android)

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
   • Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner.
2. Select "Manage my subscriptions" or "Subscriptions."
   • If you do not see this option, tap "Account" first, then look for Subscriptions.
3. Find "Beacons" in your list of active subscriptions and tap it.
   • You will see your plan details and next billing date.
4. Tap "Cancel subscription."
   • Google may show you a retention offer, feedback form or discount code. You do not have to engage with these to complete your cancellation.
5. Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
   • Your subscription status will change to "Cancelled" with an end date shown. Screenshot this confirmation.
6. Your Beacons access will close on the date displayed, which matches your next renewal date.
   • Google does not refund partial months; your active subscription continues until the renewal date passes.

Understanding your consumer rights and protections in india

Your right to cancel a subscription is protected by Indian consumer law, specifically the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Under this law, you have the right to cancel a subscription-based service with clear, accessible cancellation instructions. Beacons must provide a cancellation method that is as easy as the subscription process itself.

Your legal position under indian consumer law

The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 empowers you to cancel a subscription and receive a refund if Beacons fails to deliver the service as described, charges you incorrectly, or makes cancellation deliberately difficult. If Beacons refuses to process your cancellation or charges you after you have cancelled, you can file a complaint with the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) or your state's District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. Tocancel emphasizes that you do not need to accept retention offers, surveys or fees to cancel; these are pressure tactics, not mandatory steps. Your cancellation request must be honoured within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 5 to 10 business days.

When you are entitled to a refund

You are entitled to a refund if you cancel within a statutory cooling-off period (if applicable to digital services in your state), if Beacons failed to deliver features you paid for, or if you can prove you were charged without consent or after you requested cancellation. However, most subscription platforms, including Beacons, do not refund unused portions of a billing month under their standard terms. This is legal under Indian law, provided the terms were clearly communicated before you paid. Tocancel recommends cancelling immediately after a billing cycle begins to maximize the value you extract from that month.

What to do immediately after you cancel Beacons

Cancelling is only the first step; protecting your data and access is equally important.

Secure your content and verify access loss

1. Download and save all your content from Beacons while you still have access.
   • This includes your media kits, email lists, landing page designs, product information and any customer data you have collected. Export these as PDFs or spreadsheets.
2. Redirect your Beacons link-in-bio URL to a new platform or your personal website before your access ends.
   • If you do not do this, your link-in-bio pages will become inactive or display an error page, potentially breaking links in your social media bios and older promotional content.
3. Log in to your Beacons account a few days before your access is scheduled to close, to confirm everything is still working and to retrieve any final data.
   • After your access closes, you will no longer be able to log in, so do this verification early.
4. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Beacons or from your payment provider (Apple, Google, or your bank).
   • If you do not receive a confirmation within 24 hours, contact Beacons support or your payment provider to verify that your cancellation was processed.
5. Monitor your payment method (credit card, debit card or digital wallet) for any charges after your cancellation end date.
   • If you are charged after you should have been cancelled, report the charge as unauthorized to your bank or payment provider immediately and escalate to Tocancel or the CCPA if the charge is not reversed within 30 days.

Refund policy and dispute resolution

Beacons operates under a no-refund policy for partial months under its standard subscription agreement. However, this policy is not absolute under Indian consumer law if you can demonstrate grounds for a refund.

When you can request a refund and how

You can request a refund if you were overcharged, billed twice in one cycle, charged after you cancelled, or if Beacons failed to deliver core features you paid for (such as email functionality or AI credits not working). To request a refund, contact Beacons support with your invoice number, billing date and reason for the refund request. Provide screenshots of any failed features or incorrect charges. If Beacons refuses your refund request, you can escalate to your payment provider's dispute team (your bank if you paid by card, or Apple/Google if you subscribed via their stores). File a chargeback or payment dispute within 60 days of the charge. If you still do not receive resolution, you can file a formal complaint with the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) in New Delhi or your state's District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. Tocancel recommends keeping all receipts, screenshots and correspondence for at least 12 months in case you need evidence to support a refund claim.

Common mistakes people make when cancelling Beacons

Cancelling a subscription can feel stressful, especially if you are unsure about timing or billing mechanics. Here are the pitfalls that cause refund delays and access headaches.

Mistakes to avoid

• Cancelling too late in the month: If you cancel on the 28th and you were billed on the 1st, you lose nearly a full month of potential use. Cancel within the first few days after billing to maximize value.
• Cancelling via the wrong platform: If you subscribed via the Apple App Store but you try to cancel via the Beacons website, Apple will still charge you on your next renewal date. Always cancel through the platform where you subscribed.
• Assuming cancellation is immediate: Beacons typically does not close your access immediately when you cancel; it closes on your next billing date. You retain access during this grace period, so do not panic if your account is still active the day after you cancel.
• Not saving your cancellation confirmation: If Beacons charges you again after you cancelled, you will need proof of your cancellation date and confirmation number. Screenshot or print your cancellation screen.
• Ignoring charges after your end date: Some users ignore a charge that appears a few weeks after they cancelled, assuming it will reverse automatically. It will not. Dispute the charge within 60 days by contacting your bank or payment provider, then report it to Tocancel or the consumer authority if it is not resolved.
• Deleting the Beacons app instead of cancelling the subscription: Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription. You must cancel through your app store or the web portal, or your recurring charge will continue.

Comparing Beacons with alternative creator platforms

If you are cancelling Beacons because it no longer fits your needs, understanding how it compares to competitors can help you choose your next platform wisely.

Cancellation address and escalation contact

If Beacons refuses to cancel your subscription or process a refund, you have formal escalation options.

How to escalate your complaint

First, contact Beacons support directly with your subscription details and your written cancellation request. If Beacons does not respond within 7 days or refuses your cancellation, file a complaint with your payment provider (your bank, Apple, Google or your digital wallet provider). Most payment providers honour cancellation requests and reverse charges within 30 to 60 days. If your payment provider does not resolve your case, escalate to the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) or your state's District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. You can file a complaint online via the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) portal or through your state's consumer office. Include your Beacons order ID, cancellation confirmation number (if you have it), copies of all billing charges, and proof of your cancellation request. Tocancel has helped thousands of consumers cancel unwanted subscriptions and recover overcharges by guiding them through these exact escalation channels.

Your final checklist before and after cancelling Beacons

Use this checklist to ensure you cancel safely and protect yourself from surprise charges or data loss.

Summary and next steps

Cancelling Beacons is straightforward when you understand which platform you subscribed via (web, Apple App Store or Google Play) and you follow the correct cancellation steps for that platform. Your cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately, so plan your data exports and link redirects accordingly. You are protected by the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, which entitles you to cancel easily, dispute any incorrect charges and escalate to the Central Consumer Protection Authority if Beacons refuses to comply. Common mistakes like cancelling via the wrong platform, not saving your confirmation, or ignoring post-cancellation charges can leave you vulnerable, so stay organized and monitor your payment method for 60 days after your cancellation end date. If you are unsure about any step or if Beacons resists your cancellation, Tocancel provides clear guidance tailored to India's consumer law and your rights. Whether you are moving to a competitor like Linktree or Substack or stepping away from link-in-bio tools altogether, you now have the knowledge and confidence to cancel with zero friction and full legal protection behind you.
