Cancel Pricelabs: Step-by-Step Guide

How to cancel Pricelabs in malaysia: your rights and step-by-step guide

What Pricelabs is and what you're actually paying for

Pricelabs is a subscription software service built for short-term rental hosts who need automated pricing tools. The service does not manage bookings or guest communication; it handles pricing logic, rate syncing, and minimum stay customisation for properties listed on platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo. As a Malaysia-based user, you should know that Pricelabs is a Delaware-incorporated company with no dedicated Malaysian office or local billing address, which affects how you cancel and claim refunds.

Pricelabs pricing plans and what each tier includes

Pricelabs charges subscription fees in US dollars (USD), which convert to Malaysian ringgit (RM) at your bank's exchange rate. Your actual charge may differ slightly depending on currency fluctuation and international transaction fees. The main pricing tier is Dynamic Pricing, which starts at USD 19.99 (approximately RM 90) per month and includes automated daily price updates, AI-powered rate recommendations, and multi-user access.

Revenue Estimator Pro is an additional feature with three tiers: Starter (USD 19.99 or around RM 90), Standard (USD 99.98 or around RM 450), and Professional (USD 277.76 or around RM 1,250) per month. Each tier includes a monthly allowance of estimate credits; extra estimates are billed separately at USD 5 (RM 22.50), USD 3 (RM 13.50), or USD 2.50 (RM 11.25) depending on your plan level.

Important billing behaviour you need to understand

Pricelabs bills in arrears, which means your invoice is generated at the end of your billing cycle after you have already used the service. This is crucial for cancellation: if you turn off price syncing today but had active listings during the current month, you will still receive a final invoice when that billing cycle ends. You cannot avoid this charge by deleting listings, as deletion does not retroactively remove usage that has already occurred.

The company states that no minimum contract period is required, and billing runs month-to-month. There is no lock-in, which means you can cancel without penalty-but only after paying for the current billing cycle. Pricelabs offers a 30-day free trial for Dynamic Pricing with no payment information required if you import listings during the trial period.

Your legal position: consumer rights in malaysia

As a Malaysian consumer, you are protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999, which gives you the right to cancel subscriptions and pursue refunds if Pricelabs fails to deliver the service it promised. The Act is enforced by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNKX).

Under this law, you have the right to clear information about charges before you commit, a cooling-off period for distance contracts, and protection against unfair contract terms. If Pricelabs charges you without consent, continues billing after you cancel, or makes it unreasonably difficult to cancel, you can lodge a complaint with KPDNKX and claim a refund. Your legal position is strong: you do not need Pricelabs' permission to stop using their service, only confirmation that billing has ended.

Tocancel recommends documenting all your cancellation attempts in writing (email or in-app messages) so you have evidence if you need to escalate to KPDNKX. Pricelabs' terms and conditions are published at hello.pricelabs.co/tandc/, but these terms cannot override your statutory consumer rights.

How to cancel Pricelabs: three methods explained

You have three cancellation routes depending on how you subscribed. Each method stops future charges, but only if you complete the steps correctly and confirm cancellation in writing.

Method 1: cancel through your Pricelabs web account (recommended)

This is the official and most reliable cancellation method. Log in to your Pricelabs dashboard, find each active listing, and turn off the "Sync Prices" toggle. This action stops price syncing immediately and prevents charges for future billing cycles.

1. Go to pricelabs.co and log in with your email and password.
   • If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password" and reset via email.
2. Open the Pricing Dashboard (or Dynamic Pricing section).
   • You will see all your connected listings in a grid or list view.
3. For each listing you want to stop syncing, locate the "Sync Prices" toggle and click it to OFF.
   • The toggle will turn grey when disabled; price syncing will stop immediately for that listing.
   • Repeat this step for every listing you manage through Pricelabs.
4. Navigate to your Account Settings (usually a gear icon or menu option).
   • Look for "Billing" or "Subscription" section.
5. Click "Cancel Subscription" or "Downgrade Plan" and confirm your choice.
   • Pricelabs may ask you to provide feedback; you can skip this or explain why you are leaving.
   • Screenshot this confirmation page as proof of cancellation.
6. Send a follow-up email to the support address (usually [email protected]) stating: "I have cancelled my Pricelabs subscription effective [today's date]. Please confirm no further charges will be applied to my account [your email address]."
   • Keep this email and Pricelabs' reply for your records.
   • Tocancel advises always getting written confirmation, even if the web interface appears to have processed your cancellation.

Method 2: cancel an app store or google play subscription

If you subscribed via the Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through the app store itself, not through Pricelabs' website. This is because the app store, not Pricelabs, processes the recurring charge.

1. For iPhone and iPad (Apple App Store):
   • Open the Settings app on your device.
   • Tap your name at the top, then select "Subscriptions".
   • Find Pricelabs in the active subscriptions list.
   • Tap Pricelabs and select "Cancel Subscription".
   • Confirm the cancellation; Apple will show you the final billing date.
   • Screenshot the confirmation screen.
2. For Android devices (Google Play):
   • Open the Google Play Store app.
   • Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
   • Select "Payments and subscriptions", then "Subscriptions".
   • Find Pricelabs and tap it.
   • Select "Cancel subscription" and follow the prompts.
   • Google will confirm the cancellation date; take a screenshot.
3. After cancelling via the app store, also log in to your Pricelabs web account and turn off the "Sync Prices" toggle for safety.
   • This double-cancellation ensures no charges slip through.
4. Email [email protected] with proof of your app store cancellation (screenshot) and ask them to confirm your web account will not be charged.
   • Tocancel has found that combining app store cancellation with web account confirmation prevents billing surprises.

Method 3: contact Pricelabs support directly if cancellation is blocked

If the web interface will not let you cancel or you receive an error message, escalate to Pricelabs support in writing.

1. Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line: "Cancellation Request: [Your Email Address]".
   • Include your full name, account email, and the date you want the cancellation to take effect.
   • State: "I request immediate cancellation of my Pricelabs subscription. Please confirm that no further charges will be applied and provide a cancellation confirmation number."
2. Keep a copy of this email and note the date you sent it.
   • Expect a reply within 2-3 business days.
3. If Pricelabs does not reply or refuses to cancel, escalate to KPDNKX (the Malaysian consumer watchdog) by filing a complaint at kpdnkx.gov.my or visiting your nearest KPDNKX office.
   • Provide copies of your cancellation request email and any evidence of continued charges.
   • KPDNKX has enforcement power and can order refunds and penalties for non-compliant companies.

What happens after you cancel Pricelabs

Once you cancel, your listings will stop syncing prices, but you will still receive a final invoice covering the current billing cycle up to the cancellation date. This is normal and legal-you cannot avoid paying for days you used the service.

After the final billing cycle ends, check your bank and credit card statements for 30 days to ensure no further charges appear. If a charge arrives after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately and dispute it as unauthorised; provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Tocancel recommends keeping all cancellation documentation for at least two years in case you need to prove you cancelled.

You can also request a download of your usage history and custom pricing rules before cancelling. This is helpful if you plan to switch to a competitor or manage pricing manually. Pricelabs does not delete your account immediately, so you can always resubscribe later if needed-but you will not have automatic syncing during the gap.

Refunds: what you can claim and how

Pricelabs does not offer pro-rata refunds (partial refunds for unused days within a billing cycle) as standard. However, under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you may be entitled to a refund if:

• Pricelabs failed to deliver the service you paid for (e.g., pricing sync did not work).
• Pricelabs continued charging you after you cancelled.
• You subscribed under a false pretence or misleading information.
• Pricelabs' terms were unfair or hidden in fine print.

To claim a refund, send a formal request to [email protected] with:

• Your order or invoice number.
• The amount you are claiming and the reason (e.g. "Service malfunction from [date] to [date]").
• Dates and screenshots of the problem.
• A clear request for a refund and your preferred repayment method (credit card, bank transfer).

If Pricelabs refuses or does not respond within 14 days, file a complaint with KPDNKX. Tocancel has helped thousands of consumers recover unauthorised charges by escalating to the official regulator. KPDNKX can order the refund plus compensation for your inconvenience, so do not accept "no" from the company if you have a legitimate claim.

Common mistakes that trap you into extra charges

Many Pricelabs users accidentally lose money by missing small but critical steps. These traps are easy to avoid if you know about them in advance.

Mistake 1: Deleting listings instead of turning off syncing. Some users think deleting a listing from Pricelabs will stop charges. It will not. Deletion only removes the listing from your dashboard; the subscription continues to charge because syncing is still technically "on" in the background. Always turn off the "Sync Prices" toggle first, then wait for the billing cycle to end before deleting.

Mistake 2: Cancelling via the website but forgetting to disable syncing first. If you cancel your subscription before turning off "Sync Prices", Pricelabs may treat your action as a temporary pause, and syncing may resume when the free trial resets or you log back in. Always disable syncing for each listing before cancelling the subscription.

Mistake 3: Assuming app store cancellation covers the web account. If you subscribed via the Apple App Store or Google Play, cancelling the app subscription does not automatically cancel your Pricelabs web account. You must do both. Many users cancel the app but find the web account continues to charge when the subscription renews.

Mistake 4: Not checking your bank statement after cancellation. Pricelabs may continue to bill for 1-2 cycles after you request cancellation if you do not also turn off syncing. Always review your bank and credit card statements for 30 days after cancellation to catch phantom charges early.

Mistake 5: Cancelling by email without follow-up. Support emails can get lost or misread. If you email [email protected] to cancel, follow up with a second email 7 days later asking for confirmation. This creates a paper trail that protects you if you need to escalate to KPDNKX.

Before you cancel: questions to ask yourself

Cancellation is straightforward, but first pause and consider whether leaving Pricelabs makes sense for your situation.

Steps to take right now: cancellation checklist

Use this checklist to ensure you cancel safely and leave no loose ends.

• Log in to your Pricelabs account and screenshot your current plan and billing date.
• Note the date of your last invoice and the expected date of the next one.
• Take a screenshot of each active listing and its "Sync Prices" toggle status.
• Turn off the "Sync Prices" toggle for every listing you want to stop syncing.
• Navigate to Account Settings and click "Cancel Subscription"; screenshot the confirmation.
• If you subscribed via Apple App Store or Google Play, cancel the subscription there as well.
• Send a written cancellation email to [email protected] with your account email and requested cancellation date.
• Wait for Pricelabs to reply; if no reply within 5 business days, send a follow-up email.
• For the next 30 days, check your bank statement and credit card each week for unexpected charges.
• If a phantom charge appears, dispute it with your bank and email Pricelabs' support with proof of cancellation.
• Save all cancellation emails, screenshots, and bank statements in a folder for your records.

Escalation: what to do if Pricelabs ignores your cancellation

In rare cases, Pricelabs may ignore your cancellation request or claim they never received it. This is where your rights under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 become your shield.

Step 1: Formal written notice. Send a registered letter (or email with read receipt) to [email protected] stating: "I formally request cancellation of my Pricelabs subscription, effective immediately. This is my second request. Failure to comply within 7 days will result in a complaint to KPDNKX and a chargeback dispute with my bank." Keep a copy and the delivery proof.

Step 2: Dispute the charge with your bank. If Pricelabs continues to bill after you cancel, contact your bank's dispute team within 120 days of the unauthorised charge. Provide your cancellation email, screenshots, and a written statement explaining that you cancelled but were charged anyway. Banks take this seriously and often reverse charges in your favour.

Step 3: File a complaint with KPDNKX. Visit kpdnkx.gov.my or call 03-8000 8000 to file a consumer complaint. Provide your cancellation email, bank statements showing continued charges, and evidence of your attempts to resolve this with Pricelabs. KPDNKX has the power to order refunds, issue warnings, or penalise the company for unfair practices. Tocancel advises keeping your complaint clear, concise, and backed by documentary evidence.

Step 4: Consider small claims or civil action. If the amount is large or KPDNKX's resolution takes too long, you can file a claim in the Small Claims Court (for claims under RM 5,000) or a civil suit in the Sessions Court. KPDNKX can refer you to legal aid if you cannot afford a lawyer.

Final thoughts: you have the power to cancel

Cancelling Pricelabs is simple when you follow the steps in order. You do not need permission, you do not need to justify your choice, and you are not locked in by a contract.
