- Online (fastest): Direct cancel flow: www.lightreel.ai/manage-subscription
- Email: Lightreel.ai doesn’t process cancellations by email. Still worth sending one: it dates your cancellation request in writing, which matters for disputes and refunds.
Timing matters: 3-day free trial auto-converts to the $199/month Pro plan; cancel before day 3 to avoid the first charge.
The email that backs it up
Lightreel.ai won’t action a cancellation from an email alone, use the fastest channel above for the cancellation itself. This email still earns its place: it puts your cancellation date in writing (your evidence if they keep billing) and it’s where the refund request happens.

Subject:
Cancellation Request, [your account email]Send this template
Hi Lightreel.ai team, I'm writing to cancel the subscription on my account, [your account email]. 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. If your policy allows it, I'd also appreciate a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of the current period. Best, [your name]
Wait for confirmation
Wait 24 hours. If there's no response, send a polite one-line follow-up referencing the original request.

What happens to what you’ve already paid
Lightreel advertises a 7-Day Money-Back Guarantee on its Pro plan, alongside a 3-day free trial with no payment due at sign-up. If you're charged and want your money back, request a refund within 7 days of the charge by contacting support. The guarantee terms aren't published in detail, so keep your receipt and the exact charge date. If support is unresponsive and you're in the UK/EU, statutory cooling-off rights or a card chargeback are fallback routes.

Cancelled Lightreel.ai 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 Lightreel.ai, treat it as not cancelled. Email
jibran@lightreel.aireferencing 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 Lightreel.ai’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 Lightreel.ai charges again.
How Lightreel.ai will try to keep you
Lightreel.ai 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: “Trial-to-paid auto-charge before you notice”
You say: The 3-day free trial auto-converts to the $199/month Pro plan. Set a reminder and cancel via lightreel.ai/manage-subscription before day 3 if you don't want to be billed.
They’ll say: “Money-back guarantee window is short (7 days)”
You say: If you were charged, don't wait, email support immediately citing the advertised 7-Day Money-Back Guarantee and your charge date. Missing the window weakens your refund leverage.
They’ll say: “Account/cancel page failing to load”
You say: If the manage-subscription page shows a blank screen, screenshot it, then email support asking them to cancel and refund in writing, a documented request protects you if billing continues.

The Federal Trade Commission’s Click-to-Cancel rule requires Lightreel.ai 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.

Delete your Lightreel.ai 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 Lightreel.ai’s account settings, email jibran@lightreel.ai 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.
