Why am I still being charged after I stopped using Replicate?

Two common reasons: (1) you have a **private model deployment** still online, these bill for setup, idle *and* active time on dedicated hardware, so you must delete the deployment, not just stop calling it; (2) usage in the previous month is billed in arrears at the start of the next month. Check replicate.com/account/billing, shut down any running deployments, and contact support if the charge looks wrong.

How do I delete my Replicate account?

Cancel any active Subscription first via replicate.com/support, then request account and data deletion. Replicate's Privacy Policy directs deletion / data-subject requests to **privacy@replicate.com**, email from your account address, ask for confirmation of deletion under UK/EU GDPR or CCPA where applicable, and remove the saved card from billing settings before you delete.

Does Replicate have a free trial?

There is no traditional time-limited trial. Replicate gives new accounts a small amount of free credits at sign-up and occasionally via startup programs; once those run out, every additional second of compute is billed. There's no auto-renewing trial that flips into a paid plan, but a saved card *will* be charged the moment you exceed free credit, so monitor usage at replicate.com/account/billing.

Is Replicate pay-as-you-go or subscription?

Primarily pay-as-you-go. Public models are billed by the second of compute (hardware-dependent) or per input/output token/image. Private deployments bill continuously for the time the instance is online. Replicate's Terms also reference optional **Subscription** plans which auto-renew on a billing date and require cancellation via replicate.com/support before the renewal date.

How do I stop Replicate from charging my card?

1) Delete every private model deployment under **Deployments**, they bill while idle. 2) Cancel any Subscription via replicate.com/support before its renewal date. 3) Remove the payment method on the billing settings page. 4) If a charge still posts, dispute it within 30 days by emailing support and legal@replicate.com with your invoice number. As a last resort, your card issuer can raise a chargeback (UK Section 75 / US FCBA / EU equivalents).

Can I pause my Replicate account instead of cancelling?

There's no formal pause button. Because billing is purely usage-based, the practical equivalent is to **stop running predictions and delete any private deployments**, your account stays open and your saved API tokens keep working, but charges drop to $0. Just remember any active deployment continues to bill for idle time even if you don't call it.

What is this 'Replicate' charge on my credit card?

If it's the AI platform replicate.com, the charge will appear via Stripe and corresponds to compute time on models you ran (or kept deployed) that month. Log in at replicate.com/account/billing to see the itemised invoice. If you don't recognise the account, email support via replicate.com/support immediately, and if no response within a few days, dispute through your card issuer.

Why am I still being charged after cancelling Replicate?

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 Replicate 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.

Replicate’s refund policy

Replicate is pay-per-use, so there's no monthly fee to refund, you only pay for compute you actually consumed. Prepaid credit balances are explicitly non-refundable except where law requires otherwise. Any dispute over a charge must be raised within 30 days of the payment due date. For Subscription plans, you must cancel before the renewal date to avoid the next charge.

“All Prepaid Balances are non-refundable, except as otherwise required by law or as expressly set forth in this Agreement.”

Does Replicate charge a cancellation fee?

Replicate’s terms mention conditions worth checking before you cancel, see the plan notes and policy quote above for the specifics we found. In general: rolling monthly plans end at the period you’ve already paid for with nothing extra to pay, while minimum-term or contract plans can carry an early-exit charge until the term ends.

What doesn’t work for cancelling Replicate

Based on 5 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.

✕ Calling a support phone line, Replicate publishes no phone number, support is chat, email and Discord only.
✕ Cancelling via Apple/Google in-app subscriptions, Replicate is a developer API platform billed via Stripe, not via the App Store.
✕ Asking for a refund on credit you've already burned through inference, Prepaid Balances are non-refundable except where law requires otherwise.
✕ Disputing a charge after 30 days, Terms require billing disputes to be brought within 30 days of the payment due date (or longer if local law allows).

Cancelled Replicate 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 Replicate, treat it as not cancelled. Email legal@replicate.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 Replicate’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
You're inside a minimum term. Some Replicate plans keep charging until a fixed term ends even after you cancel, check the plan notes above.

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 Replicate charges again.

How Replicate will try to keep you

Replicate 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: “Support routes you to chat instead of writing off the charge”
You say: Terms confirm cancellation can be made by contacting replicate.com/support, request a written email confirmation of cancellation and a final invoice with $0 due, and decline to continue in chat-only.
They’ll say: “Offer to convert unused credit to account credit instead of refunding”
You say: Cite the 30-day billing dispute window in the Terms and request return to original payment method; under UK CRA / EU consumer law a digital service not delivered as described is refundable regardless of an internal credit policy.
They’ll say: “Silence / delayed reply from first-line support”
You say: Escalate by emailing legal@replicate.com referencing your support ticket number, the unauthorised auto-renewal and your statutory rights, Replicate's legal mailbox is the published notice address in the Terms.

Your rights when cancelling

The law where you live is the strongest hook, lead with it when you contact the company.

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 Replicate 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; Replicate has ~45 days to defend.

Delete your Replicate 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 Replicate’s account settings, email legal@replicate.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.

Common questions about cancelling Replicate

Replicate's Terms say: *"You may cancel the Subscription by contacting us at replicate.com/support."* Open the support portal, start a chat or email, and request cancellation in writing before your renewal date. For pay-as-you-go accounts there's nothing to cancel, just stop running models and delete any private deployments. Remove your card under **Account → Billing** to be safe, and keep the cancellation email as proof.
