How to Cancel Transcribe Before the $49.95 Charge.

The email that backs it up

Transcribe 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.

1. Email the verified address

   support@transcribe.org, the standard route for Transcribe.

2. Use a precise subject

   Subject: Cancellation Request, [your account email]

3. Send this template

   Hi Transcribe 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]

4. Wait for confirmation

   Wait 24 hours. If there's no response, send a polite one-line follow-up referencing the original request.

Transcribe plans you can cancel

• 7-Day Trial ($0.75)

  The checkout shows a $0.75 price labelled 'one-time', but the trial converts to a $49.95/month subscription after 7 days unless you cancel. Reviewers have also reported local-currency versions of the same trial, such as £0.55 and €0.50.

• Monthly Subscription

  Billing starts automatically when the trial ends, and it keeps charging every month until you cancel. Reviewers say there's no clear warning before the first full charge.

  $49.95/mo

Does Transcribe charge a cancellation fee?

We found no cancellation fee in Transcribe’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 Transcribe

Based on 4 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.

• ✕ Assuming the $0.75 'one-time' checkout price is all you'll pay, A consumer advisory reports that the $0.75 checkout is labelled 'one-time' but becomes a $49.95/month subscription after 7 days.
• ✕ Emailing support@transcribe.com, TurboScribe or Wreally (transcribe.wreally.com) to cancel, These are separate companies with similar names, so they can't see or cancel a transcribe.org subscription. Trustpilot lists transcribe.org as its own UK-based business.
• ✕ Waiting until the final day of the trial to cancel, One reviewer says their card was charged the full monthly amount on the same day the trial ended.
• ✕ Filing a chargeback and doing nothing else, A chargeback can get money back, but it may not stop future billing on its own. The advisory recommends also asking for a new card number.

Cancelled Transcribe 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 Transcribe, treat it as not cancelled. Email support@transcribe.org 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 Transcribe’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 Transcribe charges again.

How Transcribe will try to keep you

Transcribe 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: “A low 'one-time' trial price ($0.75) that quietly turns into a $49.95/month subscription after 7 days”

  You say: Cancel through 'Manage subscription' right after you start the trial. If you've already been charged, explain that the checkout said 'one-time', ask for a full refund of the subscription charges, and dispute them with your card issuer if they refuse.

• They’ll say: “No clear reminder before the first full charge”

  You say: In your refund request, say you got no notice before the trial turned into a paid plan, give the charge date and amount, and ask for a written confirmation that the subscription is cancelled.

• They’ll say: “Transcripts held back until you leave a review”

  You say: You don't have to post a review to cancel or get a refund. Download any transcripts you need, then cancel, and mention the gated access if you dispute the charge as 'not as described'.

Your rights when cancelling

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

Delete your Transcribe 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 Transcribe’s account settings, email support@transcribe.org 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.
