Cancellation

You cancel yourself in the desktop app at app.later.com under Settings > Subscription > Cancel Plan (if you signed up through the iOS app, you cancel via your Apple subscription settings).

Later plans are non-refundable, with exceptions reviewed case by case that may include early termination fees; paid plans start with a 14-day free trial you can cancel before it ends to avoid a charge.
