How do I cancel the Ditto Music free trial before I'm charged?

Ditto offers a **30-day free trial to new users who sign up through the website**. Payment details are taken when you complete your first release and charged 30 days after signup. Cancel any time before day 30 by emailing support@dittomusic.com to avoid the charge. Important: subscriptions purchased inside the Android/iOS app **do not include the 30-day free trial**, you're charged immediately.

What happens if I stop paying my Ditto subscription?

Ditto's help centre states your releases will be **at risk of removal from stores**, but due to the volume of releases they process, your music will not automatically be taken down. In practice this means your tracks may stay live on Spotify/Apple/etc. for weeks or months, but Ditto stops collecting royalties on your behalf. To guarantee takedown you must explicitly email support asking for removal.

Will I lose my music from Spotify and Apple Music if I cancel Ditto?

Yes, but only after you request it. Ditto's terms say once you cancel, **they will instruct partners within 30 days to remove recordings from all platforms**. You may also be liable for third-party takedown fees. To keep your music live long-term you'd need to migrate to another distributor (DistroKid, TuneCore, etc.) and re-upload with a new UPC, which resets your Spotify play counts on that release.

How do I cancel a Ditto subscription purchased in the app?

If you subscribed via the Android app, open the **Google Play Store → tap your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions**, select Ditto Music, and tap **Cancel subscription**. For iOS, use Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Ditto's own help article confirms the subscription **will not cancel automatically by uninstalling the app**. In-app purchases do not include the 30-day free trial, so cancel promptly to avoid the next annual charge.

Does Ditto Music have a cancellation fee?

No, Ditto does not charge a direct cancellation fee. However, their terms make you **responsible for any third-party take-down fees** that stores or aggregators charge when your releases are pulled. You also forfeit the remaining portion of your annual subscription (no pro-rata refund). If you have an outstanding royalty balance, Ditto may deduct any owed subscription payments from it before releasing the remainder.

How do I contact Ditto Music customer service?

The verified email is **support@dittomusic.com**. You can also use the blue Intercom messenger at support.dittomusic.com, or the in-app 'Need help?' option in the Account tab. Response times are officially 24 to 48 hours but Trustpilot reviewers frequently report **2+ day gaps** during busy periods. There is a UK phone number (+44 151 708 7079) but users report it as not in service, email or chat is the reliable route.

Ditto Music charged me after I cancelled, what do I do?

This is a recurring complaint on PissedConsumer and Trustpilot. Steps: (1) Reply to your original cancellation email with the ticket ID demanding refund. (2) If ignored past 5 business days, initiate a **chargeback with your card issuer**, cite the cancellation email as proof. (3) UK customers can escalate to their bank under Section 75 (credit-card purchases over £100) or Chargeback (debit). (4) EU customers can invoke the Consumer Rights Directive 14-day cooling-off if within window.

Why am I still being charged after cancelling Ditto Music?

Usually one of three things: the cancellation never completed (no written confirmation), the subscription bills through Apple or Google and must be cancelled there, or a minimum term is still running. Charges continuing after a confirmed cancellation can be disputed with your bank as a chargeback.

How do I delete my Ditto Music account?

Cancel the subscription first, then request account deletion in settings or by email. If there is no self-serve option, email a written erasure request citing the applicable data-protection law; most companies complete erasure within about 30 days.

Please treat this as formal notice of cancellation, effective from the end of the current billing period. Under the FTC's Click-to-Cancel rule, cancellation must be available through a channel as simple as the one I signed up through.

Please confirm by reply that the subscription has been cancelled and that no further charges will be taken.

Best,

What happens to what you’ve already paid

Ditto Music does not offer refunds once your annual subscription has been charged, the help centre explicitly states there is no refund when you cancel before the expiration date. However, new users who sign up via the website get a 30-day free trial and can cancel any time before day 30 to avoid being charged. Your account stays active until the current term ends, and Ditto's terms let you terminate with just 1 day's written email notice. If you were charged after cancelling, you have strong grounds to dispute the charge with your bank or under UK/EU consumer law.

“This Agreement may be terminated by you upon 1 days written notification (including notification by email) of such termination providing there are no outstanding payments due to us and that such may be taken from your royalty balance. It is your obligation to cancel the storage and maintenance subscription at this point. Any further subscription payments shall be forfeited.”

Does Ditto Music charge a cancellation fee?

We found no cancellation fee in Ditto Music’s published terms. On a rolling plan you simply pay to the end of the current billing period and nothing after. If you’re inside a fixed minimum term, check your signup email for the end date, cancelling early is where fees usually hide.

What doesn’t work for cancelling Ditto Music

Based on 6 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.

✕ Uninstalling the Ditto app to stop billing, Ditto explicitly warns that uninstalling the app does not cancel the subscription, you must cancel via Google Play, the App Store, or email support.
✕ Cancelling in-dashboard with one click, There is no self-serve cancel button for web subscriptions. You must email support@dittomusic.com with release details and takedown instructions.
✕ Calling the +44 151 708 7079 number for cancellation, Users on PissedConsumer report the phone number as not in service; Ditto directs all cancellation requests through email or chat.
✕ Expecting an automatic pro-rata refund of the unused year, Ditto's official policy is no refund when you cancel before the expiration date; any further payments after termination are forfeited but already-paid annual fees are not returned.
✕ Assuming releases auto-disappear when you stop paying, Ditto states that if you stop paying, your music will not automatically be taken down due to processing volume, you must explicitly request removal in your cancellation email.

Cancelled Ditto Music but still being charged?

Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:

The cancellation didn’t actually complete. If you never received a written confirmation from Ditto Music, treat it as not cancelled. Email support@dittomusic.com referencing your original request date and ask for written confirmation plus a refund of any charge taken since.
You cancelled in the wrong place. Subscriptions started through the App Store or Google Play bill through Apple or Google, cancelling on Ditto Music’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
Billing lag. A charge that was already in flight when you cancelled can still land a few days later. One trailing charge can be normal; two is not.

If they keep charging after a confirmed cancellation, that’s chargeback territory: dispute the charge with your bank citing “subscription cancelled, merchant continued billing”. The yoink app also flags this automatically, it keeps watching your inbox after a confirmed cancellation and alerts you if Ditto Music charges again.

How Ditto Music will try to keep you

Ditto Music may respond with a retention offer, a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.

They’ll say: “Slow email replies stretching a cancellation past the renewal date”
You say: Trustpilot reviewers report 2+ day gaps between responses despite Ditto's 24hr promise. Send your cancellation email at least 7 days before renewal, keep the thread, and if you're charged during the delay dispute it as a mid-cancellation charge under your card issuer's chargeback rules.
They’ll say: “Offering to keep the account active through the paid term instead of refunding”
You say: Ditto's standard line is 'access continues until expiration.' If you paid within the last 14 days (EU/UK distance-selling window) or via credit card in the US, insist on a refund rather than accepting run-out access, cite the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (UK) or your state's ARL.
They’ll say: “Asking you to keep music with Ditto so royalties keep flowing”
You say: Reddit/PissedConsumer users report withheld royalties and delayed payouts after cancellation. Request a full royalty statement and payout BEFORE you confirm cancellation, Ditto's terms let them offset outstanding amounts from your balance.
They’ll say: “Flagging release for 'investigation' after a refund/cancel request”
You say: Trustpilot artists report accounts being suspended for artificial-streaming reviews right after refund disputes. Screenshot your cancellation ticket, ticket ID, and Ditto's confirmation email so any later suspension can't be blamed on missing paperwork.

Your rights when cancelling

United States

FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule (2024+)
Cancel must be as easy as sign-up.
The Federal Trade Commission’s Click-to-Cancel rule requires Ditto Music to make cancelling at least as simple as signing up, same channel, same number of clicks. If they buried the cancel button or forced a phone call, they’re in violation; report to reportfraud.ftc.gov.
California ARL (auto-renewal law)
Renewal must be cancellable online.
California Business & Professions Code §17602 forces any company billing California residents on auto-renewal to provide an online cancel mechanism. Lawsuits have been won on this; companies often refund quickly when it’s cited.

Worldwide

Card-issuer chargeback
Your bank can reverse the charge.
Visa, Mastercard, and Amex all run chargeback schemes, “goods/services not as described” or “subscription not cancelled” are valid reason codes everywhere they operate. Your bank handles the dispute; Ditto Music has ~45 days to defend.

Delete your Ditto Music account (not just cancel)

Cancelling stops the billing; deleting removes your account and personal data. Do them in that order, deleting an account with an active subscription can leave the billing running with no way to log in and stop it.

If there’s no delete option in Ditto Music’s account settings, email support@dittomusic.com with the subject Account deletion request, [your account email] and ask for your account and personal data to be erased under state privacy laws such as the CCPA. They’re typically required to act on it, most companies complete erasure within about 30 days, and you should ask for written confirmation when it’s done.
