How to Get a RevenueCat Refund Within 30 Days.
Inside 30 days their own policy is on your side; statutory cooling-off rights may stack on top. Outside it, you've still got tools, a clear email, a card-issuer chargeback, the lot. Here's the playbook for RevenueCat.

The short answer
RevenueCat doesn't publish a consumer-style refund policy because it's a B2B service. The Terms only commit to billing-dispute adjustments if you flag the error within 30 days of the first incorrect statement. Subscriptions auto-renew and you must cancel at least 30 days before renewal to avoid the next charge. There's no pro-rata refund mechanism in the published Terms.

“If Customer believes that RevenueCat has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact RevenueCat no later than thirty (30) days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit.”

How long does a RevenueCat refund take?
Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.
Note RevenueCat’s own policy works on a 30-day window, ask inside it and the request is routine; outside it you’re relying on goodwill or statutory rights.
