Cancel Percy: The Right Way

How to cancel Percy and protect your money in the philippines

Why you might need to cancel Percy

Percy is a visual regression testing platform that helps development teams spot design bugs before code reaches production. You sign up because it saves time during testing cycles. However, many users in the Philippines cancel for straightforward reasons: the monthly cost in USD becomes unaffordable when converted to pesos, the free tier's 5,000 monthly screenshots no longer covers your team's testing volume, or you've completed the project that required visual regression checks.

Whatever your reason, canceling Percy should be simple and transparent. Unfortunately, the company offers no local Philippine phone support, no live chat, and no clear cancellation deadline on their homepage. This guide, powered by Tocancel, walks you through your exact rights under Philippine consumer law, the step-by-step cancellation process, and how to recover money if Percy charges you after you've canceled.

Understanding percy's pricing structure

Percy uses a three-tier pricing model. The Free Plan costs PHP 0.00 per month and includes 5,000 screenshots monthly. The Professional Plan costs approximately PHP 33,844 per month (converted from USD 599) and unlocks unlimited screenshots, advanced visual comparison tools, and extended baseline history. The Enterprise Plan involves custom pricing negotiated directly with Percy's sales team.

Most cancellations happen because teams exceed the free tier's monthly quota. Each developer pushing multiple builds daily burns through 5,000 screenshots quickly. Once you hit that limit, Percy throttles your remaining tests, forcing you to either stop testing or upgrade to a paid plan.

Why philippines-based users face extra obstacles

Percy provides no local support infrastructure in the Philippines. You cannot call a Philippine phone number, use a live chat staffed by local agents, or email a regional office. Your only option is email support, and response times range from 24 to 72 hours. This delay is critical when you're racing to cancel before your next billing cycle arrives.

Your invoice arrives in USD, automatically converted to Philippine pesos by your payment method (credit card, GCash, Maya, or bank transfer). You cannot control the conversion rate, so your monthly charge fluctuates. This unpredictability is exactly why Tocancel recommends saving every billing receipt and checking your statements weekly.

Your consumer rights under philippine law

The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) is your legal foundation for canceling subscriptions without penalty.

What philippine law guarantees you

Under the Consumer Act, companies must disclose billing dates, renewal terms, and cancellation methods in writing before you pay your first charge. If Percy hides this information, makes cancellation deliberately difficult, or buries instructions in fine print, you have violated rights. Your legal position is strong: Philippine law presumes contracts must be interpreted in the consumer's favor when language is ambiguous.

You have the right to cancel and receive a refund if Percy fails to deliver promised services or if you cancel within 14 days of your first charge (depending on your agreement's terms). If Percy charged you after you submitted a cancellation request, document the exact date and time you canceled, then demand a refund with proof. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the Philippine government's consumer protection authority, enforces these rights and accepts complaints at no cost to you.

What to do if Percy refuses to cancel or refund

If Percy ignores your cancellation request or claims you cannot cancel, file a formal complaint with the DTI. Visit the nearest DTI regional office in your city or file online at dti.gov.ph. Include your account number, all billing receipts, screenshots of your cancellation request, and dates. The DTI investigates free of charge and can compel Percy to refund your money or face penalties.

Tocancel has documented cases where consumers recovered refunds because Percy's cancellation process was unclear or because the company failed to honor cancellation requests. Do not accept "no" as an answer-your right to cancel is law, not a courtesy.

How to cancel Percy step by step

Canceling Percy requires you to access your account, locate billing settings, and confirm the cancellation before your next billing date.

What to gather before you start

Before you cancel, collect three critical pieces of information. Log into your Percy account and write down the following: your current plan name (Free, Professional, or Enterprise), your next billing date, and your account email address. Open your last billing receipt and note the exact amount charged in PHP and USD. These details are essential if you need to dispute a charge or file a complaint with the DTI later.

The cancellation process

1. Log into your Percy account using your email and password.
   • Go to app.percy.io and click "Sign in."
   • Enter your email and password, then click "Sign in."
   • If you use two-factor authentication, complete that step.
2. Navigate to your account settings.
   • Click your profile icon (usually in the top right corner).
   • Select "Settings" or "Account Settings."
   • Look for the "Billing" or "Subscription" tab.
3. Locate your active subscription plan.
   • Under "Billing," you will see your current plan and next billing date.
   • Verify the amount charged and the renewal date.
   • Take a screenshot of this page for your records.
4. Find the cancellation button or link.
   • Look for text like "Cancel subscription," "Downgrade plan," or "Manage subscription."
   • If you cannot find a cancel button, click "Contact support" or "Help" from within the billing section.
   • Note the exact date and time you clicked cancel-this timestamp is your proof of cancellation.
5. Follow the confirmation prompts.
   • Percy may ask why you're canceling; select the reason that applies to you.
   • Review any final messages about data retention, downgrade terms, or refund eligibility.
   • Click "Confirm cancellation" or the final confirmation button.
6. Capture confirmation and send a backup email.
   • Take a screenshot showing "Your subscription has been canceled" or similar confirmation text.
   • Note the cancellation confirmation number or reference ID, if provided.
   • Send an email to Percy's support team ([email protected] or the email address in your receipt) with the subject line "Cancellation Confirmation" and include your account email, the date and time you canceled, and a screenshot of your confirmation.

What happens after you cancel

After you cancel, Percy will honor your cancellation through the end of your current billing period. If your next billing date is 15 days away, you keep access to Percy until that date, then access stops. Percy will not charge you again unless you manually reactivate your subscription.

Check your email regularly for a cancellation confirmation from Percy. This email is proof that you canceled. If you do not receive confirmation within 24 hours of canceling, send a follow-up email to [email protected] requesting written confirmation of your cancellation date.

Refunds and billing protection

Percy's refund policy depends on when you cancel relative to your billing cycle and whether you qualify under their terms of service.

When you can claim a refund

You are entitled to a refund if any of these apply: you cancel within 14 days of your first charge (under the Consumer Act's cooling-off period), Percy failed to deliver promised services (screenshots were not processed, downtime prevented testing, or features were unavailable), or you were charged after submitting a valid cancellation request. Collect evidence for each claim: billing receipts, screenshots of service failures, timestamps of your cancellation request, and any support emails where Percy acknowledged your cancel request.

If you are not within the 14-day window and Percy claims no refund is available, ask Percy to provide written justification. Many companies overstate their no-refund policies. Under the Consumer Act, a company cannot refuse a refund if the service was genuinely defective or if you were charged fraudulently.

How to request a refund from Percy

Email Percy's support team at [email protected] with the subject "Refund request." Include your account email, the date of the charge you want refunded, the amount in PHP and USD, and your reason (for example, "Canceled within 14 days of first charge" or "Service unavailable during billing period"). Attach screenshots of your billing receipt and cancellation confirmation. Be clear and specific: "I request a refund of PHP 33,844 charged on [date], because I canceled my subscription on [date], which is within 14 days of my first charge."

Percy typically responds within 2 to 5 business days. If they refuse and your request is valid under Philippine law, escalate to the DTI. Tocancel recommends filing a DTI complaint before 30 days have passed from the disputed charge, as this strengthens your case.

Pricing and billing comparison

Understanding Percy's costs helps you decide whether cancellation is the right choice or whether downgrading is more cost-effective.

If your team is just slightly over the free tier's 5,000 monthly screenshots, consider reducing test frequency or running visual regression tests less often rather than paying for Professional. If Professional is genuinely necessary, the cost is fixed, predictable, and may justify staying. If you're on Professional but project is wrapping up, cancel immediately-do not wait until your renewal date approaches.

Common mistakes to avoid when canceling

Canceling a subscription online feels straightforward, but small errors can leave you vulnerable to unwanted charges and confusion.

Mistake 1: canceling too close to your billing date

Percy processes renewals automatically at your billing date. If you cancel on the same day your subscription renews, the system may already have charged you before your cancellation takes effect. Cancel at least 3 to 5 days before your next billing date to ensure the system processes your cancellation before the charge. Check your next billing date in the billing section, then set a phone reminder 5 days before.

Mistake 2: assuming cancellation is complete without confirmation

Some users click the cancel button, see a brief message, and assume they're done. Percy sometimes requires multiple confirmation steps. Always wait for a final confirmation page or email stating "Your subscription has been canceled." If you do not see this confirmation, your cancellation may not have processed. Send that backup email to Percy support immediately.

Mistake 3: forgetting to download or back up your data

After cancellation, Percy will eventually delete your account data, including screenshots and baselines. Before you cancel, export any visual baselines, screenshots, or test results you need. Check Percy's settings for an export or download option. If no export feature exists, contact Percy support and ask them to export your data before they close your account.

Mistake 4: not checking your statement after cancellation

Even after you cancel, monitor your credit card, GCash, Maya, or bank statement for the next two billing cycles. Occasionally, companies process delayed charges or renewal fees despite cancellation requests. If a charge appears after you canceled, contact your payment provider immediately and dispute the charge. Then follow up with Percy and the DTI. Tocancel has found that vigilance in this step recovers hundreds of thousands of pesos annually for Philippine consumers.

Mistake 5: deleting cancellation emails or screenshots

Keep every email from Percy and every screenshot of your cancellation and billing pages for at least 12 months. These are your legal evidence if a dispute arises. Store them in a folder on your computer or in cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive). If you ever need to prove you canceled or dispute a charge, these files are invaluable when filing a DTI complaint.

What to expect after cancellation

Cancellation is not the end of your interaction with Percy; you may need to monitor your account and verify that charges stop.

During your final billing period

You retain full access to Percy until the end of your current billing period. Your team can continue running visual regression tests, reviewing screenshots, and managing baselines without restriction. On the last day of your billing period, access will stop automatically. You will not be charged again unless you manually reactivate your subscription.

After your final billing period ends

Your account will drop to the Free Plan (or become inaccessible, depending on Percy's settings). You will no longer have access to Professional or Enterprise features. If you log in after cancellation, you will see a message confirming your account status. Your historical data may remain in Percy's system for a limited time before deletion.

Monitoring your payment method

For 60 days after cancellation, check your credit card, GCash, or bank statement weekly. Look for any charge from Percy, Stripe (Percy's payment processor), or similar names. If an unexpected charge appears, contact your payment provider immediately and request a chargeback or reversal. Provide them with proof of your cancellation (the email or screenshot from Percy). Then email Percy support demanding an explanation and refund. If Percy does not respond within 10 days, file a complaint with the DTI.

Escalation: what to do if Percy refuses to cancel or refund

If Percy ignores your cancellation request, claims you cannot cancel, or refuses to refund a disputed charge, you have legal remedies under Philippine consumer protection law.

Step 1: send a formal demand letter

Send Percy a registered or certified email (or both) with the subject line "Formal cancellation demand and refund request." Include your account email, the date you submitted your cancellation request, the dates of charges you dispute, copies of all receipts and confirmation emails, and the exact amount you demand be refunded (in PHP). State that you are invoking your rights under the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) and that you expect a response within 10 days. Copy yourself on this email so you have a timestamped record.

Step 2: file a complaint with the department of trade and industry

If Percy does not respond or refuses your demand, file a complaint with the DTI. Visit dti.gov.ph or the nearest DTI regional office in your city (provinces have DTI offices). File for free. Include your account details, all billing receipts, screenshots of the cancellation page, copies of your cancellation request emails, and the demand letter you sent Percy. The DTI will investigate and send a formal notice to Percy. Companies typically respond to DTI complaints within 15 days because they risk government penalties if they ignore consumer protection authorities.

Step 3: dispute the charge with your payment provider

Contact your credit card company, GCash, Maya, or bank and report the disputed charge. Provide the charge date, amount, and your reason (unauthorized charge after cancellation, or refund promised but not delivered). Your payment provider will open a dispute and request documentation. Send them copies of your cancellation confirmation and any correspondence with Percy. Many disputes are resolved in your favor within 30 to 60 days.

Tocancel emphasizes that you should pursue all three steps simultaneously if Percy is unresponsive. The combination of a formal demand letter, a DTI complaint, and a payment provider dispute significantly increases the chance that you recover your money.
