Sonauto is now Treblo. The consumer app is free, so there is nothing to cancel; only the Melodia API bills ($11, $1,150/mo). Cancel in your developer billing settings or email support@treblo.com with subject "Cancel API subscription + refund request, [account email]". Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid term.

Cancellation Request, [your account email]Send this template
Hi Sonauto 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.

Sonauto plans you can cancel
- Treblo app (consumer, free)$0.00/mo
No consumer subscription exists, unlimited songs on the latest model with no daily limits and no card required, so there is no billing to stop. Deleting the account is optional, not a cancellation.
- Melodia API Free Trial$0.00/mo
Official pricing page lists 3,000 free credits (about 30 songs) after verifying a card; when credits run out you may continue on pay-as-you-go or subscribe to a plan. Remove the card / stop usage before pay-as-you-go accrues.
- Starter (API)$11.00/mo
20,000 credits (200 songs)/month plus pay-as-you-go at $0.06 per 100 credits. Plan credits reset each billing period and don't roll over, so cancelling mid-cycle forfeits unused credits.
- Pro (API)$88.00/mo
160,000 credits (1,600 songs)/month, pay-as-you-go at $0.06 per 100 credits. Big step up from Starter, downgrade rather than cancel if usage dropped.
- Scale (API)$330.00/mo
660,000 credits (6,600 songs)/month, pay-as-you-go at $0.05 per 100 credits.
- Enterprise (API)$1150.00/mo
Enterprise tier reported at roughly $1,150/mo for ~2,875,000 credits; terms note cancellation can be governed by any separately agreed contract, so check your order form notice period.
What happens to what you’ve already paid
Two completely different charge types sit under the Sonauto/Treblo name. The consumer music app (web, iOS, Android) is free and unlimited with no credits and no subscription, so there is no charge to refund there at all. The only money that moves is the Melodia developer API, monthly credit plans from $11 up to roughly $1,150, plus pay-as-you-go overage, and the terms carry auto-renewal and cancellation language but no refund clause, with cancellation effective only at the end of the current paid term. If an app-store subscription ever appears on your statement for the mobile app, that charge is handled by Apple or Google under their own refund policies, not by Sonauto.

Does Sonauto charge a cancellation fee?
Sonauto’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 Sonauto
Based on 3 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.
- ✕ Deleting the Treblo/Sonauto app or account to stop an API charge, API billing sits on the developer account's payment method and continues to the end of the paid term; removing the app does not terminate the plan.
- ✕ Asking for a pro-rata refund of unused credits after cancelling mid-cycle, The terms contain no refund provision and plan credits reset each billing period without rolling over, so unused credits are forfeited.
- ✕ Phoning support, No customer-service phone number is published anywhere on the brand's site, app listings or API terms, Sonauto, Inc. is a very small team operating email-only.
- ✕ Emailing Treblo to reverse a charge billed by Apple or Google, Store-billed transactions are refunded only through Apple/Google's own request flows; the developer cannot reverse them.
- ✕ Assuming the free consumer tier will quietly start charging you, The consumer product has no paid tier and takes no card, a charge on your statement almost always traces to the Melodia API or an app-store purchase, so chase the right one.
Cancelled Sonauto 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 Sonauto, treat it as not cancelled. Email
support@treblo.comreferencing 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 Sonauto’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 Sonauto 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 Sonauto charges again.
How Sonauto will try to keep you
Sonauto 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: “End-of-term lock-in: the terms state cancellation only takes effect at the end of the current paid term, so you keep paying for the rest of the cycle.”
You say: State in writing that you are cancelling with immediate effect and are also requesting a refund of the unused portion. Note the date and time you sent it, that timestamp is what matters if the next renewal lands anyway, and an unauthorised post-cancellation charge is reversible through your card issuer.
They’ll say: “Credit forfeiture: subscription plan credits reset to the plan allowance each billing period and do not roll over, which is used to argue you should 'burn down' credits instead of cancelling.”
You say: Reply that unused credits you were billed for and cannot carry forward are exactly why you want the cancellation dated today, not at renewal, and ask them to confirm in writing the exact date billing stops and the final amount.
They’ll say: “Card-verified free trial: the API trial requires verifying a card and invites you to continue on pay-as-you-go when the free credits run out, so spend can start without a new sign-up.”
You say: Ask support to confirm the card is removed and pay-as-you-go is disabled, not just that the plan is cancelled. If they can't confirm, revoke the API key and remove the payment method yourself, then keep the reply as proof the authority was withdrawn.
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 Sonauto 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 chargebackYour 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; Sonauto has ~45 days to defend.

United Kingdom
- Consumer Contracts Regulations 201314-day cooling-off on new subscriptions.
You can terminate any continuous service contract within 14 days of starting it and recover any payment, no questions asked. Applies regardless of Sonauto’s own policy.
- Consumer Rights Act 2015Services must be as described.

European Union

EU-wide statutory right to withdraw from any distance-sold contract within 14 days. Mirrored into local law in every member state. Sonauto must honour it regardless of where they’re headquartered.
Delete your Sonauto 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 Sonauto’s account settings, email support@treblo.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 Sonauto
Yes, for the consumer music app. Sonauto (now Treblo) advertises unlimited songs on its latest Melodia model with **no daily limits, no credit system, no watermark and no card required**, and downloads in OGG, MP3, WAV, FLAC and M4A. There is no consumer subscription tier to cancel, which is why most people searching for a "cancel Sonauto" flow find nothing in their account settings. The only paid surface is the Melodia developer API, billed in credits from $11/month. If you're seeing a recurring charge, it's that API plan, or an app-store purchase, not the free app.
