Cancel Inshot: The Right Way

How to cancel InShot and stop paying for video editing features you don't use

What is InShot and why you might want to cancel

InShot is a mobile-first video and photo editing application that runs on both iOS and Android, letting you create, trim, filter and share content directly from your phone. The app offers a free tier with basic editing tools, but charges a monthly subscription to unlock premium features like watermark removal, advanced effects and ad-free editing.

You may have downloaded InShot planning to edit videos occasionally, only to find yourself charged monthly when you've moved on to other tools or realised you don't need the Pro features. If your InShot subscription no longer serves your needs, cancelling will stop future charges while preserving your existing videos and account data. At Tocancel, we help you understand your rights and take control of your subscriptions so you only pay for what you actually use.

InShot's main features and subscription tiers

InShot's free version includes timeline editing, basic filters, text overlays and the ability to export videos to social platforms like TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. A watermark appears on all free exports, which many creators find limiting.

The paid InShot Pro subscription costs SGD $5.98 per month or SGD $19.98 per year. This tier removes watermarks, unlocks premium effects and eliminates ads. You can also purchase one-time feature packs or ad removal separately. For casual editors, the free version often suffices; for serious creators, the Pro subscription may justify its cost. If you fall into neither category, cancelling through Tocancel guidance saves you real money each month.

When you should cancel InShot

Cancel InShot if you've found a different editing tool that suits your workflow better, if you're editing less frequently than anticipated, or if the monthly fee no longer aligns with your actual usage. Some users cancel because they upgrade to desktop editing software; others simply lose interest in creating video content. Whatever your reason, cancelling stops automatic renewal and prevents surprise charges on your next billing date.

Your consumer rights when cancelling InShot in singapore

Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you when purchasing digital services, though some provisions differ from physical goods.

What the consumer protection (Fair trading) act means for your InShot subscription

Under Singapore law, subscription services must be transparent about their terms, charges and cancellation options before you purchase. InShot and the app stores (Apple and Google) must clearly disclose recurring billing before your first charge. Your legal position is straightforward: if you were not clearly informed that your free trial would convert to a paid subscription, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your payment provider or request a refund through the relevant app store.

Digital content that you download or access immediately does not carry a 14-day cooling-off period like physical goods do. However, if you can demonstrate a billing error such as being charged after a trial should have ended, you retain the right to request a refund. Keep your transaction receipts and email confirmations to support any refund claim you make. This documentation is your protection if a dispute arises.

When to escalate to the consumers association of singapore

If InShot, Apple or Google refuses to process a refund you believe you're entitled to, contact the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) at 1800-6-CALL64 or visit their website. You can also file a complaint with the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) if you suspect unfair trading practices. Document everything: your subscription date, all charges, your cancellation attempt and the date you attempted to cancel. This documentation strengthens your case if escalation becomes necessary, and Tocancel recommends keeping these records for at least 12 months.

Cancellation methods and pricing for InShot

InShot charges vary depending on your subscription method and app store, since both Apple and Google handle billing independently.

How to cancel InShot on iOS

Cancelling your InShot subscription on iOS requires you to access Apple's subscription management portal rather than the InShot app itself, because Apple handles all billing.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad and tap your name at the top of the screen
2. Select Subscriptions from the menu
3. Find and tap InShot from the list of your active subscriptions
4. Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen
5. Follow the prompts to confirm your cancellation; Apple will ask if you want to downgrade or cancel entirely
6. Select Cancel Subscription again when prompted to confirm
7. Apple will display a confirmation message; your subscription will end on your next billing date

You retain access to InShot Pro features until your current billing period ends. After that date, you revert to the free tier. Tocancel recommends cancelling at least three days before your renewal date to ensure the cancellation processes in time.

How to cancel InShot on android

Cancelling your InShot subscription on Android requires you to use Google Play's subscription management system, which handles billing independently of the InShot app.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
3. Select Payments and subscriptions from the menu
4. Tap Subscriptions to view your active subscriptions
5. Find and tap InShot from the list
6. Select Cancel subscription at the bottom of the screen
7. Follow the prompts to confirm; Google Play will ask for your reason for cancelling
8. Tap Cancel subscription once more to finalise your decision

Google Play will email you a confirmation within minutes. You keep access to InShot Pro features until your current billing cycle ends. After that, you automatically revert to the free tier. Tocancel advises checking your email receipt to confirm the cancellation date.

Requesting a refund for InShot charges

If you were charged for InShot Pro but believe you cancelled in time, or if you were charged unexpectedly, you have the right to request a refund from your payment provider.

How to request a refund through apple

Open Settings, tap your name, select Media and Purchases, then tap Apple ID. Choose View Account and log in if prompted. Scroll to Purchase History and find the InShot charge. Tap the charge and select Report a Problem. Describe the issue clearly: explain that you cancelled before the renewal date or that you did not authorise the charge. Apple reviews your claim within 48 hours and typically refunds valid claims to your original payment method within 5 to 10 business days.

How to request a refund through google play

Open Google Play Store, tap your profile icon, select Payments and subscriptions, then tap Subscriptions. Find InShot and tap it. Select Cancel subscription, then choose your reason. On the confirmation screen, tap Request refund if you want to pursue a refund for a recent charge. Google Play will process refund requests within 48 hours for charges made within the last 48 days. Refunds appear in your original payment method within 5 to 10 business days.

If the app store refuses your refund request

If Apple or Google denies your refund, contact your credit card company or bank directly and dispute the charge. Provide your transaction receipts and cancellation evidence. Your financial institution has the authority to reverse charges and initiate a chargeback if the merchant cannot justify the billing. This approach often succeeds where app store disputes fail, particularly if you can prove you cancelled in time.

Common mistakes people make when cancelling InShot

Cancelling a subscription sounds straightforward, but many users make costly errors that delay or prevent their cancellation from taking effect.

Deleting the InShot app instead of cancelling the subscription

Removing the InShot app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. The subscription lives in Apple's or Google's system, not on your device. You will continue to be charged every month until you explicitly cancel through the app store. Tocancel has seen hundreds of users discover surprise charges months after deleting the app because they forgot to cancel the subscription first. Always cancel the subscription before deleting the app.

Assuming a free trial converts to nothing

InShot's free trial typically lasts 3 to 7 days, depending on promotions. When the trial ends, your account automatically converts to a paid subscription unless you actively cancel before the trial expiration date. App stores send you a reminder email, but if you miss it, you will be charged on the conversion date. Mark your trial end date in your phone's calendar and cancel at least 48 hours before that date to avoid unexpected charges.

Not checking which app store holds your subscription

If you downloaded InShot via Apple, your subscription is managed by Apple; if you downloaded it via Google Play, your subscription is managed by Google. Attempting to cancel in the wrong system will fail silently. If you've used multiple devices or reinstalled the app, double-check which app store is billing you by reviewing your bank or credit card statement. The payment descriptor will show either Apple or Google. Tocancel recommends verifying this before you attempt to cancel.

Cancelling too close to your renewal date

App store systems process cancellations asynchronously, meaning there is a lag between when you tap Cancel and when the system actually stops charging you. If you cancel on the same day as your renewal, you risk being charged because the cancellation instruction arrives after the billing engine has already processed your monthly fee. Cancel at least 3 to 5 days before your renewal date to guarantee the cancellation reaches the system in time.

What happens after you cancel InShot

Cancelling your InShot subscription is final, but you have grace periods and options to understand.

Immediate effects of cancellation

Once you cancel, you immediately lose access to InShot Pro features such as watermark removal, premium effects and ad-free editing. You revert to the free tier, which includes basic editing tools, filters and text overlays. All your existing videos, projects and account data remain on InShot's servers and remain yours to access or download. You do not lose your work when you cancel; you only lose the premium features. If you want to export your projects before losing Pro access, you have until your current billing period ends to do so.

Your billing cycle after cancellation

You will not be charged again after your current billing cycle ends. If you paid monthly, your final charge was your last one. If you paid annually, your final charge was for the full year, and you have access to Pro features until that annual period expires. You will receive a final receipt from Apple or Google confirming the end of your subscription. Keep this receipt for your records and as proof that you are no longer a paying subscriber if you ever need to dispute a charge later.

Can you reactivate InShot pro later

Yes. You can resubscribe to InShot Pro at any time by opening the app and selecting the subscription option. Your new subscription begins immediately and you regain access to all Pro features. There is no penalty for cancelling and resubscribing later. This flexibility means you can cancel now, use the free tier for a while, and upgrade again when you need Pro features.

Comparison: InShot versus other video editing apps

If you are considering cancelling InShot, you may want to explore alternatives before you decide.

Before you cancel InShot, consider whether another app better matches your editing needs and budget. CapCut, for example, offers many of InShot's features for free. PowerDirector costs less per month. Adobe Premiere Rush costs more but offers professional-grade tools. Tocancel recommends testing a free alternative for one week before you commit to cancelling InShot, to ensure you have a suitable replacement ready.

How tocancel helps you take control of your subscriptions

Cancelling InShot is just one step in managing your digital subscriptions responsibly. Many users in Singapore pay for multiple apps, streaming services and software subscriptions without regularly reviewing whether they still use them. This hidden cost compounds quickly: SGD $5.98 monthly for InShot plus similar charges for other apps can total SGD $50 to $100 per month without your realising it.
