Frequently asked questions
Cancel Doist: The Right Way to Protect Your Money
How to cancel your Doist subscription in the UAE and protect your money
What you need to know about Doist before you cancel
Doist operates two productivity platforms widely used across the Middle East: Todoist (task and project management) and Twist (team communication). Both services provide free versions with core features and paid Pro or Team plans that unlock advanced tools such as custom filters, priority support, unlimited projects, and cross-platform team collaboration.
Your subscription method determines your cancellation path. Whether you purchased through the Doist website, iOS App Store, or Google Play Store, following the incorrect cancellation route leaves your subscription active and exposes you to recurring charges. At Yafee, we guide users through these critical decision points monthly, and this guide addresses the specific legal protections available to UAE-based subscribers under local consumer legislation.
Who should read this guide
This guide applies to you if you pay for Todoist Pro, Twist Team, or any Doist subscription and want to terminate your membership without incurring unexpected charges. Your consumer protections under the UAE Consumer Protection Law provide stronger safeguards than many subscribers realise.
Products covered
This guide covers current Doist products: Todoist Pro (monthly and annual plans) and Twist Team subscriptions purchased via web, Apple App Store, or Google Play Store. All cancellation procedures and timelines apply uniformly across all purchase channels.
Your consumer rights under UAE law
The UAE Consumer Protection Law (Federal Law No. 24 of 2006) grants you specific rights when cancelling digital subscriptions.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel any subscription contract and receive a refund for unused services within 30 days of purchase, provided the contract allows cancellation and you have not consumed the service beyond that period. Doist must inform you of your cancellation rights at point of purchase; failure to do so strengthens your position in any dispute. If Doist refuses your refund request without legitimate grounds, you may escalate to the Department of Consumer Protection within the General Authority for Consumer Protection (part of the UAE Ministry of Economy) or pursue chargeback proceedings through your bank.
What the law protects
UAE consumer legislation prohibits hidden charges, deceptive renewal terms, and automatic renewal without explicit prior consent. Doist must provide you with clear cancellation instructions and honour cancellation requests within a reasonable timeframe (typically 5-10 business days). If Doist charges you after you submit a valid cancellation request, you are entitled to demand a full refund and may claim damages for unfair contract terms.
Current Doist pricing in the UAE (2025-2026)
Pricing differs by platform and payment method, so verify the exact charge before subscribing.
| Plan | Price (AED) | Billing cycle | Purchase location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Todoist Pro (monthly) | AED 18.99 | Monthly | iOS App Store (UAE) |
| Todoist Pro (annual) | AED 184.99 | Annual | iOS App Store (UAE) |
| Todoist Pro (web) | Varies (check account) | Monthly or annual | doist.com billing portal |
| Twist Team | Varies by team size | Monthly or annual | doist.com or in-app |
| Todoist Free | AED 0 | No charge | All platforms |
If you purchased through Apple or Google, check your device subscription settings, not Doist's website. App Store pricing in the UAE may differ from web pricing, and your renewal date is managed by the platform vendor, not by Doist directly.
How to cancel your Doist subscription
Your cancellation method depends entirely on where you originally subscribed; cancelling through the wrong channel leaves your subscription active.
Cancel via the Doist website
This is the fastest and preferred method if you signed up on doist.com or through the Todoist web app.
- Visit doist.com in your browser and log into your account with your email and password.
- Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Account settings or Preferences.
- Navigate to the Billing or Subscription section.
- Look for your active subscription (Todoist Pro or Twist Team).
- Click Cancel Subscription or Downgrade to Free.
- Review the cancellation summary. Doist may offer a discount to retain you; click the cancellation confirmation button only if you are certain you want to proceed.
- Do not click "Keep Subscription" unless you have changed your mind.
- Watch for a green confirmation message on screen. Doist sends a cancellation confirmation email to your registered email address within minutes.
- Save this email as proof of cancellation; you will need it if any charge appears after cancellation.
Cancel via the iOS app store
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store (either directly in the Todoist app or in your device settings), you must cancel through Apple's system, not through Doist's website.
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
- Tap your name at the top, then select Subscriptions.
- If you do not see Subscriptions, tap iTunes & App Store first, then Apple ID at the bottom, then View Apple ID, then Subscriptions.
- Find Todoist in the list and tap it.
- Tap Cancel Subscription or Edit Subscription.
- Choose the cancellation date (usually immediate or at the end of your billing period).
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation. Apple sends you a confirmation email and removes the subscription from your account.
- Your Todoist Pro access ends on the date you select.
Cancel via google play store
Android users who subscribed through Google Play must cancel via the Google Play app or website.
- On your Android device, open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner, then select Subscriptions.
- Find Todoist in the list and tap it.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
- Google shows you your current billing cycle end date and asks you to confirm cancellation.
- Select your cancellation reason from the list (optional) and confirm.
- Your subscription cancels immediately; Google sends a confirmation email.
- Your Todoist Pro access continues until the end of your current billing period.
Cancel by email
If you cannot access your account or prefer written cancellation, contact Doist directly.
- Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line Subscription Cancellation Request.
- Include the following information:
- Your full name and registered email address on your Doist account.
- The product you wish to cancel (Todoist Pro or Twist Team).
- Your current subscription plan (monthly or annual).
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my subscription effective immediately" or "effective at the end of my current billing period."
- Doist responds within 3-5 business days with a cancellation confirmation. Save this email as proof.
- If you do not receive a response within 5 business days, escalate to the General Authority for Consumer Protection (email: [email protected] or call the consumer hotline).
What happens immediately after cancellation
Cancellation takes effect at different times depending on your subscription type and payment method, so understand your timeline to avoid surprise charges.
Immediate access loss
If you cancel a monthly subscription, your Todoist Pro or Twist Team features become unavailable immediately or at the end of your current billing day (varies by subscription type). Doist converts your account to the free tier automatically. You retain your task data and team workspace; nothing is deleted.
Renewal charges
After cancellation, Doist will not charge you on your next renewal date. If you see a charge appear after you receive a cancellation confirmation, contact your bank immediately and initiate a chargeback claim under UAE banking regulations. At Yafee, we track these cases and can advise you further if needed.
Verify cancellation status
Log back into doist.com 24 hours after cancellation and confirm that your plan shows Free and not Todoist Pro or Twist Team. If your paid plan still displays, contact [email protected] immediately with your cancellation confirmation email attached.
Refunds and unused service credits
Your refund eligibility depends on when you cancel and your subscription type.
Web and direct purchases (doist.com)
If you cancel a Todoist Pro or Twist Team annual plan within 30 days of purchase, you are entitled to a full refund under UAE Consumer Protection Law. Doist issues refunds to your original payment method within 10-15 business days. Cancellations after day 30 may receive a pro-rata refund (refund amount equals unused days divided by total days in your annual period multiplied by your annual charge), provided you request it within 90 days of purchase.
App store and google play purchases
Apple and Google manage refunds for App Store and Google Play subscriptions, not Doist. If you cancel within 48 hours of your first charge, Apple or Google typically refunds the full amount automatically. Request a refund directly through your device's subscription settings or contact Apple or Google customer support. Doist does not process these refunds and cannot override Apple or Google's policies.
Monthly subscriptions
Monthly plans do not generate refunds; you pay for one month of service and cancel before the next charge. No unused portion refund applies unless you cancel within 24 hours of purchase.
Common mistakes when cancelling Doist
Cancellation errors are recoverable with the right documentation, so take time to follow the correct channel for your payment method.
Cancelling through the wrong platform
Many users cancel through the Doist website but purchased through the App Store or Google Play, or vice versa. Your subscription remains active and continues to charge because the platforms operate independently. If you subscribed via Apple or Google, cancel only through Apple or Google settings. If you subscribed on doist.com, cancel only on doist.com. Verify your original purchase method by checking your billing history in your Doist account or your bank or payment app statement.
Downgrading instead of cancelling
Clicking "Downgrade to Free" is a cancellation action and results in lost Pro features. Confirm this is what you intend before clicking the button. Some users downgrade accidentally and do not realize their Pro features have ended until they attempt to use an advanced feature.
Ignoring cancellation confirmation emails
Doist sends a confirmation email after successful cancellation. If you do not receive this email within 2 hours, your cancellation may not have been processed. Log back into your account and check your subscription status immediately. If your paid plan still appears, retry the cancellation process or contact [email protected] with proof of your first cancellation attempt.
Missing your renewal date
If you delay cancellation until after your renewal date, you are charged for another billing period. Most refund requests for post-renewal charges are denied unless you cancel within 24-48 hours of the unwanted charge. Cancel as soon as you decide to stop using Doist, not after you are charged again.
After cancellation: what to do next
Your Doist data and account remain accessible; you simply lose access to paid features.
Preserve your task data
Before cancellation, export your tasks from Todoist. Log into your account, navigate to Settings > Data Export, and download a CSV or JSON file of your tasks. This ensures you retain your task records even if you never use Todoist again.
Monitor for phantom charges
Check your bank or payment app statement 7-14 days after cancellation. If Doist charges you after you received a cancellation confirmation, contact your bank and file a chargeback claim under UAE banking regulations. Present your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. At Yafee, we have helped thousands of consumers recover unauthorized charges through this process.
Document everything
Save all cancellation confirmation emails, screenshots of your account showing the Free plan, and bank statements showing no further charges. If Doist later disputes your cancellation or your bank questions a chargeback, this documentation proves you complied with cancellation requirements.
Escalation: what to do if Doist refuses to cancel
If Doist ignores your cancellation request or continues charging you after cancellation, escalate through official channels.
Contact Doist support formally
Send a second email to [email protected] with the subject Formal Cancellation Request - Urgent. Include your original cancellation request email, your account email, and a clear statement of the issue (e.g., "I requested cancellation on [date] and received no response" or "I cancelled my subscription but continue to be charged"). Give Doist 5 business days to respond.
File a complaint with the UAE consumer authority
If Doist does not respond or refuses your cancellation, lodge a formal complaint with the General Authority for Consumer Protection (GACP), which oversees the Department of Consumer Protection in the UAE. You can file a complaint online at consumer.gov.ae, by email at [email protected], or by phone at the consumer protection hotline. Provide your account details, proof of purchase, and copies of all cancellation requests and Doist's responses. The GACP investigates within 30 days and can compel Doist to refund charges or issue a consumer protection notice.
Initiate a chargeback with your bank
If Doist continues to charge you after cancellation, contact your bank and initiate a chargeback claim under the UAE Central Bank's dispute resolution framework. Present your cancellation confirmation email to your bank as evidence that you did not authorize the charge. Most banks reverse unauthorized charges within 10 business days. Do not delay; most chargeback windows close 90 days after the unauthorized charge.
