Cancel Moonly: The Right Way to Stop Charges

How to cancel Moonly and stop lunar app charges in the philippines

What Moonly is and why you need to cancel before the next charge

Moonly is a subscription app that delivers lunar insights, moon phase tracking, rituals, affirmations, meditation guidance, and astrology-based recommendations. The service operates on automatic renewal - your subscription renews monthly or annually unless you cancel before your billing date arrives. If you started with a free trial, cancellation must happen before the trial ends, or Moonly will convert your account to a paid plan and charge your payment method.

The company is operated by Cosmic Vibrations, Inc., based in Lisbon, Portugal. For Philippines users, support is available exclusively through online channels: the website contact form and [email protected]. There is no published Philippine office, local phone support, or dedicated cancellation portal, which makes the process feel opaque for many users. Tocancel recognises this frustration and exists to guide you through it step by step.

The critical issue is this: Moonly does not offer a single cancel button that works everywhere. Your cancellation method depends entirely on where you subscribed - directly on the Moonly website, through Apple App Store, or via Google Play. Cancel in the wrong place and your subscription renews anyway, triggering another unwanted charge. This fragmentation catches thousands of Philippines subscribers every month.

Understand the automatic billing structure

Moonly charges through multiple payment gateways: direct billing from Moonly, Apple Media Services, Google Play, Stripe, or Paddle. This means your payment source determines your cancellation method. You cannot cancel a Google Play subscription through the Moonly website, and vice versa. Identifying where you were billed is your first and most important step.

According to Moonly's terms, subscriptions renew automatically for the same period - monthly or annual - unless you cancel before the cycle ends. There is no minimum lock-in period or cancellation fee. However, the company generally does not refund unused time after cancellation, though Philippine consumer law may grant you exceptions depending on when you cancel and the circumstances of your subscription.

Your consumer rights and what they protect

The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) protects you against unfair billing practices, automatic renewals without explicit, informed consent, and failure to deliver promised services. If Moonly charges you after you have cancelled, if the company refuses to process your cancellation, or if the service becomes unavailable, you have legal grounds to dispute charges and demand a refund. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) enforces these protections on your behalf.

Your legal position is clear: you own the right to cancel at any time, and the company cannot continue billing you once you have requested cancellation. If they do, you can file a complaint with the DTI or your bank and demand a chargeback. Tocancel recommends that you document every step of your cancellation to build a record in case you need to escalate.

How to find your payment source and billing history

Before you cancel, you must identify where you were billed so you cancel in the correct place.

Locate your payment receipt and billing source

Open your email and search for receipts from Moonly. Check the sender address and subject line carefully. Receipts from Apple will say "Apple Media Services"; receipts from Google will say "Google Play". Receipts from direct Moonly billing will come from [email protected] or may be labelled as from a payment processor like Stripe or Paddle.

Next, check your bank statement, GCash transaction history, Maya app, or credit card statement. Search for any monthly charges labelled "Moonly", "Apple", "Google Play", or "Cosmic Vibrations". Write down the exact charge description, the amount in PHP, and the date it appears each month. This tells you who is billing you and is essential for your cancellation strategy.

Save screenshots of your payment history right now. This evidence is crucial if you later need to dispute a charge, file a complaint, or contact Tocancel for additional support. Do not rely on memory - written proof protects you.

Log into your Moonly account and check your settings

Open the Moonly app or visit the Moonly website and log in with your email and password. Navigate to your Account or Subscription settings. Look for a "Billing" or "Subscription" tab. Here, Moonly may show you your payment method, renewal date, and plan tier. Screenshot this information. If Moonly displays nothing or if the billing section is unclear, this confirms that your billing is managed outside the Moonly platform - likely through Apple or Google - and you must cancel there instead.

How to cancel Moonly based on where you subscribed

Your cancellation method depends entirely on your payment source. Follow only the steps that match where you were billed.

Cancel if you subscribed through the Moonly website

If your receipt came directly from [email protected] or your bank statement shows a charge from Moonly directly, you subscribed through the Moonly website and must cancel there.

1. Log into your Moonly account on moonly.club
2. Navigate to Account or Settings
3. Find the Subscription or Billing section
4. Look for a "Cancel Subscription" button or link
5. Click to cancel and confirm when prompted
6. Screenshot your cancellation confirmation
7. If no cancel button appears, email [email protected] with the subject "Cancellation Request" and include:
   • Your email address associated with the account
   • Your full name
   • The date you want the cancellation to take effect
   • A polite request to cancel your subscription effective immediately
8. Wait for a confirmation email from Moonly (usually within 48 hours)
9. Save this confirmation email as proof

After you cancel through the website, check your account 24 hours later. Your subscription status should show "Cancelled" or "Active until [date]". If it still shows as active with no end date, Moonly has not processed your cancellation - email them again and reference your previous request.

Cancel if you subscribed through apple app store

If your receipt came from "Apple Media Services" or your bank shows a monthly charge from Apple, you subscribed through the Apple App Store on an iPhone or iPad and must cancel through Apple, not Moonly.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad
2. Tap your name at the top of the screen
3. Select "Subscriptions"
4. Find and tap "Moonly"
5. Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm
6. Screenshot the cancellation confirmation

Apple will show you a cancellation date and confirm that your subscription ends on that date. No further charges will occur after this date. If you see the option to "Manage" instead of "Cancel", your subscription has already been cancelled and will end on the displayed date.

For Mac users, the process is similar: open System Settings, tap your name, select "Subscriptions", find Moonly, and click "Cancel".

Cancel if you subscribed through google play

If your receipt came from "Google Play" or your bank shows a monthly charge from Google, you subscribed through Google Play on an Android phone and must cancel there.

1. Open the Google Play app on your Android phone
2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
3. Select "Payments and subscriptions"
4. Tap "Subscriptions"
5. Find and tap "Moonly"
6. Tap "Cancel subscription"
7. Select a reason (optional) and confirm
8. Screenshot the cancellation page

Google Play will show you the date your subscription ends and confirm that you will not be charged again. No further charges will occur after this date.

Cancel if you subscribed through a third-party payment processor

If your receipt came from Stripe, Paddle, or another payment processor, you likely subscribed through a link or promotion managed by that platform. In this case, email [email protected] with your payment method details (the last 4 digits of your card or your GCash/Maya email) and request cancellation. Moonly will match your account and process your cancellation within 48 hours.

What happens after you cancel and what to check

Cancellation does not mean instant service loss - you retain access until your current billing cycle ends. Understanding what comes next protects you from surprise charges and confusion.

Your subscription end date and access timeline

Once you cancel, Moonly will confirm a specific end date. You can use the app fully until that date. After the end date, your access stops and you cannot log in. This grace period gives you time to download any personal data or notes you want to keep.

On your cancellation date, Moonly will not charge you again. Your payment method will not be contacted. If a charge appears after your end date, this is an error or a failure by Moonly to process your cancellation - contact Tocancel's resource centre for guidance on disputing the charge.

Check your account status regularly

Log into your Moonly account 3 days before your cancellation end date and verify that your subscription still shows as "Cancelled" or "Active until [date]". If the status has reverted to "Active" with no end date, Moonly has reversed your cancellation. Email [email protected] immediately and cite your original cancellation date. This reversal may be accidental or the result of a system error, but you must act quickly to cancel again.

After your end date passes, you will not be able to log in. This is normal. If you can still log in after 48 hours past your end date, contact [email protected] and ask them to confirm that your subscription has fully ended.

Refunds, chargebacks, and disputing charges

Moonly generally does not refund unused time after cancellation, but Philippine consumer law creates important exceptions that protect you.

When you may be entitled to a refund

Under the Consumer Act of the Philippines, you may claim a refund if:

• You cancel within 14 days of your initial purchase (the cooling-off period)
• Moonly fails to deliver the promised service or features
• Moonly charges you after you have cancelled and proof of cancellation exists
• You cancel due to false or misleading advertising
• You were charged without explicit, informed consent

If any of these apply to you, contact [email protected] first and request a refund in writing. Reference the specific Consumer Act section (Republic Act No. 7394) and include your proof of cancellation. Moonly may refuse, but your written request creates a paper trail for escalation.

File a dispute with your bank or payment provider

If Moonly refuses your refund request and you believe the charge is unfair or unauthorised, contact your bank, GCash, or Maya immediately. Request a chargeback or dispute for the charge. Provide your bank with:

• Your proof of cancellation (email confirmation, screenshot of cancellation in the app)
• Your refund request email to Moonly
• Moonly's refusal (if applicable)
• The charge amount and date

Your bank will investigate and may reverse the charge in your favour. This process typically takes 30 to 60 days. Banks take consumer protection seriously and will side with you if you have clear evidence of cancellation and non-service.

Escalate to the department of trade and industry

If your bank dispute fails or if Moonly continues to charge you despite cancellation, file a formal complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Complaint Desk. You can file online at dti.gov.ph or visit your regional DTI office in person. Provide the DTI with all documentation: receipts, cancellation confirmations, refund request emails, and bank dispute records. The DTI has enforcement power and can compel Moonly to refund you and pay penalties for violations of the Consumer Act.

Tocancel's team stays current with DTI procedures and can help you understand next steps if you reach this stage.

Moonly pricing and billing cycles in the philippines

Understanding Moonly's costs helps you calculate refunds and plan your cancellation around billing dates.

Actual prices vary by region and payment method (Apple, Google, direct Moonly). Log into your account to confirm your exact plan and renewal date. If you cancel an annual plan mid-year, Moonly will not refund the unused months unless you qualify for an exception under the Consumer Act. However, cancellation stops all future charges immediately.

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them

Even careful users can stumble during cancellation. Learning from others' errors protects your wallet and time.

Mistake 1: cancelling in the wrong place

The most common error is cancelling through Moonly's website when you actually subscribed through Apple or Google. Your subscription remains active and you are charged again. Always verify your payment source (receipt email, bank statement) before you cancel. Cancel only in the place where you were billed. If you are unsure, cancel everywhere relevant - Apple, Google, and Moonly's website - to be certain.

Mistake 2: assuming uninstalling the app equals cancellation

Deleting the Moonly app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Uninstalling is not cancellation. You must follow the formal cancellation steps for your payment platform. Many users delete the app and then are shocked to see a charge appear two weeks later. Tocancel strongly emphasises this: app deletion is not cancellation.

Mistake 3: not saving cancellation confirmation

If you lose proof that you cancelled, disputing a future charge becomes much harder. Always screenshot your cancellation confirmation from Apple, Google, or Moonly. Save the confirmation email Moonly sends you. These documents are your only defence if you need to file a chargeback or DTI complaint. Do not rely on your phone's notification history - take screenshots and save them to cloud storage or email them to yourself.

Mistake 4: cancelling after the renewal date

If you cancel on or after your renewal date, you have already been charged for the next cycle. Moonly will not refund that charge, even if you cancel the same day. Always note your renewal date and cancel at least 3 days before it arrives. Set a phone reminder for 5 days before your renewal so you do not miss the deadline.

Mistake 5: ignoring your first confirmation

If cancellation feels unclear or if you do not receive a confirmation email within 48 hours, do not assume you are cancelled. Follow up with Moonly at [email protected] and ask them to confirm your cancellation status in writing. Many users assume silence means approval - it often means the request was missed. A second email costs nothing and protects you completely.

Review of moonly's cancellation process and usability

Moonly's cancellation experience falls short of best practice but is manageable once you understand the system. Here is an honest assessment.

What works

Moonly's website login and account settings are straightforward. If you subscribed directly through Moonly, you can cancel in 2 or 3 taps from your account dashboard. The company responds to cancellation emails within 48 hours. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges if you cancel before your renewal date. Moonly respects your cancellation request once it is received and understood.

What does not work

Moonly does not integrate a single universal cancel option. There is no phone support for Philippines users. The company does not clearly display where you subscribed (Apple, Google, or direct) in your account dashboard, forcing you to hunt for receipts. If you cancel through the wrong channel, there is no warning message - you simply remain subscribed and charged. The cancellation confirmation from Moonly can be delayed or buried in your spam folder.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 for user experience

Moonly's service itself earns strong ratings from users, but the cancellation experience is fragmented and confusing. Once you know your payment source, cancellation is achievable. However, the company should simplify this process by clearly labelling your billing source in the app and providing direct cancellation links for Apple and Google subscriptions. Tocancel recommends that you prepare for the multi-step process and allow 48 hours for full cancellation confirmation.

Contact information and escalation

If your cancellation is refused, disputed, or unclear, here is where to go.

Moonly support channels

Email: [email protected]
Website contact form: moonly.club/contact (if available)
Response time: Usually 48 hours, sometimes longer
Registered company address: Cosmic Vibrations, Inc., Lisbon, Portugal

When you contact Moonly, be specific: include your email, the date you requested cancellation, and the platform where you subscribed. Remain calm and professional. Keep every email exchange as proof.

Escalate to the department of trade and industry (DTI)

If Moonly refuses to cancel or continues to charge you, file a formal complaint with the DTI Consumer Complaint Desk.

Website: dti.gov.ph
Email or online complaint form available at DTI website
In-person office: Visit your regional DTI office (available in all provinces)
Hotline: 1-386-DayaTech (1-386-3292) - available during business hours
Response time: Typically 15-30 days

File your complaint with all documentation: receipts, cancellation requests, Moonly's refusal (if any), and bank statements showing unwanted charges. The DTI has enforcement power and will contact Moonly on your behalf.

Dispute the charge with your bank

Contact your bank, GCash, or Maya and file a dispute or chargeback request. Provide your proof of cancellation. Banks process disputes within 30 to 60 days. This is your fastest path to recovering money if Moonly continues to charge you after cancellation.
