Cancel Quizplus: The Right Way

How to cancel Quizplus and stop recurring charges in south africa

Why you might want to cancel Quizplus

Quizplus is an online study platform that offers interactive quizzes, flashcard sets and textbook solutions to help South African students revise across multiple subjects. You access it through your web browser or mobile app, and billing happens automatically each month or quarter. Many students sign up expecting consistent use, then realise their study priorities have shifted, their budget has tightened or they've found free alternatives that work just as well. If that's you, cancelling is your right, and Tocancel is here to walk you through it step by step.

How Quizplus charges work

Your Quizplus subscription renews automatically on a set date each billing period. Whether you pay monthly (R419.99), quarterly (R999.99) or annually for one of the quiz credit plans, the charge appears on your payment method without reminder. If you don't cancel before your renewal date, you'll be charged again. This means timing matters, and understanding when your next charge is due will save you money.

The reality of auto-renewal

Auto-renewal is convenient when you're actively using a service, but it becomes a financial drain the moment you stop. Many South African students don't realise they're still being charged months after they've abandoned the platform. At Tocancel, we've helped thousands of people identify these hidden charges and stop them. Your cancellation rights are clear under South African law, and companies like Quizplus are legally required to make cancellation simple.

Your consumer rights under south african law

South Africa's Consumer Protection Act (CPA) protects you against unfair subscription practices and gives you specific legal leverage if Quizplus refuses to cancel or continues billing after you've requested cancellation.

What the consumer protection act guarantees you

The CPA requires all online service providers to display subscription terms clearly before you sign up, obtain your explicit consent before charging you, allow you to cancel as easily as you signed up, and notify you before any renewal charge. If Quizplus has auto-renewed without clear notice, buried cancellation options or made the process deliberately difficult, the company has breached your rights. You're also protected against misleading billing descriptions and hidden charges. The National Consumer Commission (NCC) enforces these protections and investigates complaints if a company refuses to cooperate.

Your legal position if cancellation is disputed

If Quizplus refuses to cancel your account or continues charging you after cancellation, you have the right to dispute the charge with your bank or payment provider and lodge a formal complaint with the NCC. Document every communication, keep screenshots of your account settings and save your cancellation request emails. If the company has breached the CPA, you're entitled to a full refund of unauthorised charges plus compensation for the inconvenience. This legal backing gives you confidence: Quizplus cannot ignore a legitimate cancellation request.

Quizplus pricing plans and south african subscription costs

Understanding what you're paying for helps you decide whether cancellation is the right move or whether a lower-cost plan might work instead.

Current subscription options and rates

The monthly plan offers the most flexibility if you're unsure about long-term use. However, if you're locked into an annual plan, your renewal date is critical: cancel at least 48 hours before that date to avoid another charge.

How to cancel Quizplus via your mobile app or web account

Cancelling directly through your account is the fastest and most reliable method, and it typically takes fewer than 5 minutes.

Cancellation steps using the Quizplus app or website

1. Open the Quizplus app or visit the Quizplus website and log in with your email and password.
   • If you access Quizplus through Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through that app store, not through Quizplus directly.
2. Navigate to your account settings or profile section.
   • On the website: look for "Settings," "Account" or "My Subscriptions" in the top menu.
   • On the app: tap the menu icon (three lines) and select "Account Settings" or "Subscription."
3. Find the subscription or billing section and select "Manage Subscription" or "View Active Subscriptions."
4. Locate your active Quizplus plan and tap "Cancel Subscription."
5. Follow the on-screen prompts and confirm cancellation.
   • Quizplus may offer a discounted renewal or ask you to leave feedback. You can decline these offers.
6. Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page showing the date and time of your cancellation request.
   • This is your proof of cancellation. Save it or email it to yourself.

Once you've confirmed cancellation, your account will remain active until the end of your current billing period. After that date, you'll lose access to Quizplus and won't be charged again.

Cancelling through apple app store or google play

If you subscribed to Quizplus through your phone's app store rather than directly on Quizplus's website, you must cancel through that app store, not through Quizplus itself. Your subscription is managed by Apple or Google, and that's where the cancellation instruction must go.

For Apple App Store (iOS): Open the Settings app, tap your name at the top, select "Subscriptions," find Quizplus in the list and tap "Cancel Subscription." Confirm the cancellation. Apple will stop charging you after your current billing period ends.

For Google Play (Android): Open the Google Play app, tap your profile icon in the top right, select "Payments and subscriptions," then "Subscriptions." Find Quizplus, select it and tap "Cancel Subscription." Google will send you a confirmation email within minutes.

App store cancellations typically take effect immediately, though you'll retain access until your current billing period expires. This method is particularly secure because the app store's confirmation email serves as your proof of cancellation.

What happens after you cancel Quizplus

Knowing what to expect after you've hit "cancel" removes any uncertainty and helps you monitor whether the company honours your request.

Your account access and refund timeline

You'll keep full access to Quizplus until the last day of your current billing period. After that date, your login will no longer work and your account becomes inactive. You won't be charged again after cancellation is confirmed. If Quizplus charges you after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately to dispute the charge and escalate to the National Consumer Commission. Tocancel recommends checking your bank statement 3 to 5 days after your billing period ends to confirm no second charge has appeared.

Refunds for unused time

South African law does not automatically entitle you to a pro-rata refund for unused subscription time unless the CPA has been breached (for example, if you were charged without clear consent or if cancellation terms were hidden). However, if you cancelled within the first few days of a quarterly or annual plan and can demonstrate the service was misrepresented, you have grounds to request a refund. Email Quizplus's support team with your cancellation request and a brief explanation. Keep all correspondence. If they refuse and you believe your rights under the CPA were violated, file a complaint with the National Consumer Commission, which may order a refund on your behalf.

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them

It's easy to slip up when cancelling online subscriptions, and one small mistake can leave you paying for another billing cycle.

Mistakes that cost you money

The most common error is cancelling too late in your billing cycle. If your renewal date is the 15th of the month and you cancel on the 16th, you've already been charged and may face a longer wait for a refund. Another pitfall is assuming that simply stopping use equals cancellation. It doesn't. You must actively submit a cancellation request through your account or app store, or you remain liable for charges. Some students cancel on the website but forget they subscribed through the app store, so the app store version continues renewing independently. Finally, many people don't save their cancellation confirmation, leaving no proof if a dispute arises. At Tocancel, we've seen all of these scenarios, and they're all preventable with a little planning.

How to protect yourself

Mark your renewal date on your calendar at least 7 days before it's due. Cancel at least 48 hours in advance of that date. If you subscribed via an app store, cancel there, not on the website. Screenshot your cancellation confirmation immediately and email it to yourself or print it. Check your bank statement 5 days after your billing period ends to confirm no duplicate charge has appeared. If a charge does appear, contact your bank's dispute team within 10 days and provide your cancellation screenshot as evidence. This documentation is your legal protection under the CPA and will be your strongest tool if Quizplus ignores your cancellation request.

Should you keep Quizplus or cancel

Before you cancel, consider whether a lower-cost plan or brief pause might better fit your current situation.

When cancellation makes sense

Cancel Quizplus if you no longer use it regularly, if a free alternative (such as Khan Academy or Coursera's free tier) is meeting your revision needs, if your budget has shrunk and every rand counts, or if you've completed your course and no longer need subject-specific quizzes. Cancellation also makes sense if you're unhappy with the service quality or if you've experienced billing issues that Quizplus hasn't resolved. There's no shame in stepping away from a subscription that no longer serves you.

When you might consider staying

If you're in an intensive study phase (exam season, final year), use Quizplus at least twice a week and find the materials genuinely helpful, staying on the monthly plan at R419.99 is a modest investment in your results. The quarterly plan (R999.99 every 3 months) works out to about R333 per month, which is cheaper per month if you know you'll use it consistently. If budget is the only barrier, try downgrading to a lower-tier plan before cancelling entirely. However, if you genuinely won't use it, cancelling is always the right financial decision.

How to contact Quizplus if cancellation is denied or billing continues

If you've submitted a cancellation request and Quizplus continues to charge you, or if the company denies your cancellation request without valid reason, escalate the issue formally.

Escalation steps under the consumer protection act

First, send a written email to Quizplus support with the subject line "Cancellation Dispute and CPA Compliance Request." Include your account email, the date you requested cancellation, the screenshot of your cancellation confirmation (if you have it), and a statement that you expect the charges to stop immediately. Copy this email to yourself. Give Quizplus 10 business days to respond. If they don't reply or refuse to cancel, submit a formal complaint to the National Consumer Commission via their website (www.thencc.org.za) or by post. The NCC will investigate and may order Quizplus to honour your cancellation and refund disputed charges. You can also dispute the charge with your bank if more than one billing cycle has passed since your cancellation request. Tocancel recommends taking this escalation path seriously: it's quick, free and legally binding.

Quizplus contact information

Quizplus operates as a US-based company (Quizplus LLC) without a physical South African office. You'll reach the company through its app support system or by email through the in-app help centre. For formal complaints under the CPA, contact the National Consumer Commission at 0860 108 100 or visit www.thencc.org.za. Because Quizplus is a foreign company, the NCC may also refer you to the international dispute resolution process, which means your complaint carries extra weight and typically prompts a faster response.
