Frequently asked questions
Cancel Betternet: The Right Way to Get Your Money Back
How to cancel Betternet premium and claim your refund under australian law
Why you might cancel Betternet and what you need to know first
Betternet is a VPN (Virtual Private Network) service that offers both a free, advertisement-supported tier and a paid Premium subscription for desktop and mobile devices. The free version comes with daily bandwidth restrictions, while Premium removes ads, unlocks additional server locations, and permits simultaneous connections across multiple devices. Betternet markets monthly and annual subscriptions, often bundled with a 7-day trial period and an advertised 45-day money-back guarantee for eligible purchases.
The critical detail you must grasp before cancelling: your purchase location determines who processes your cancellation and handles your refund. If you bought Betternet directly through the company's website, Betternet itself manages the cancellation and refund. If you subscribed via Apple App Store, Google Play, or another marketplace, that platform's terms override Betternet's own policy. This distinction shapes your entire cancellation strategy and directly affects your chances of recovering your money.
Common reasons australian users cancel Betternet
Users cancel for many reasons. Some experience persistent connection failures or slow performance that undermines the service's advertised reliability. Others encounter unexpected renewal charges and discover that customer support is difficult to reach when disputing them. Many customers switch to competing VPN providers or realise they no longer need a VPN subscription after their circumstances change. A significant portion cancel because they signed up for a trial, forgot about the subscription, and then discovered an unexpected charge on their credit card statement.
Betternet pricing in australian dollars
Betternet's Australian Dollar equivalent varies depending on where you purchase and current exchange rates. The table below shows approximate AUD prices to help you assess the cost of your commitment against the refund window available to you.
| Plan type | Approx AUD price | Billing cycle | Refund window |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Premium | A$19-21 | Monthly auto-renewal | 45 days (if direct) |
| Annual Premium | A$143-152 | Annual auto-renewal | 45 days (if direct) |
| Free tier (ad-supported) | Free | N/A | N/A |
Currency exchange rates shift daily, and app marketplaces sometimes display different amounts. Before you initiate cancellation, take a screenshot of the exact price shown in your billing statement or app store listing. This evidence proves crucial if a dispute later arises between you and Betternet or the payment platform. Yafee recommends storing these screenshots in a dedicated folder so you can produce them to the ACCC if needed.
Your consumer rights under australian law when cancelling subscriptions
Australia's Consumer Law protects you even when the company operates overseas, and understanding your rights significantly strengthens your position if Betternet or an app marketplace refuses your cancellation or refund request.
The australian consumer law framework for digital subscriptions
The Australian Consumer Law, administered and enforced by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), establishes minimum standards for digital goods and subscription services. Under this law, you hold the right to cancel a subscription at any time. The timing of your refund depends on when you submit the cancellation notice and the specific terms you agreed to at purchase.
Critically, you're entitled to a refund if Betternet's service is faulty, not fit for purpose, or substantially different from what the company advertised. If Betternet crashes repeatedly, fails to establish connections reliably, or doesn't deliver the server locations and speed it promised, you may qualify for a refund regardless of the standard 45-day window. Yafee has supported Australian consumers who successfully recovered payments under Consumer Law when Betternet or similar companies incorrectly claimed their refunds were non-refundable.
Automatic renewal and your right to easy cancellation
Australian Consumer Law mandates that companies obtain your explicit, informed consent before charging you for automatic renewal. Furthermore, they must make it at least as easy for you to cancel auto-renewal as it was for you to sign up. If Betternet requires more steps to cancel than to subscribe, that practice breaches Consumer Law, and you can escalate your complaint to the ACCC.
Keep comprehensive records of every email, screenshot, and message exchanged with Betternet or the payment platform. If the company refuses your cancellation or refund, these records become your evidence when you file a complaint with the ACCC or pursue a credit card dispute. Yafee advises preserving all communications in a format you can forward to a regulator.
Your legal position on refunds and chargeback rights
You hold several legal paths to recover your money. First, you can request a refund directly from Betternet if you are within the advertised 45-day window and the service has performed as advertised. Second, if you purchased via Apple App Store or Google Play, you can request a refund through that platform's system, which typically offers a 14 to 15-day refund window from the date of purchase. Third, if Betternet or the payment processor refuses, you can dispute the charge with your credit card or bank under your card's chargeback rights. Finally, you can lodge a formal complaint with the ACCC if you believe Betternet has breached Consumer Law.
How to cancel Betternet across all platforms
The cancellation process differs depending on whether you subscribed directly or through an app marketplace, and which device you use. Follow the steps for your specific purchase method to ensure your subscription ends and you remain eligible for a refund.
Cancel a direct Betternet website subscription
If you purchased Betternet Premium directly from betternet.com, you cancel and request a refund through their website account portal.
- Visit betternet.com and log in with your account credentials.
- Navigate to your Account Settings or Subscription Management section.
- Locate your active Premium subscription.
- Select the option to Cancel Subscription or Manage Billing.
- Follow the prompts to confirm cancellation.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page displaying your cancellation date.
- If the interface does not offer an immediate refund option, locate the contact form or email address for billing support.
- Email Betternet's support team with your screenshot and account details, requesting a refund within the 45-day window if applicable.
- Keep a copy of your support email and Betternet's response.
Cancel your Betternet subscription on apple app store (iOS and mac)
If you subscribed through Apple's ecosystem, you must cancel and request a refund via Apple's own system, not through Betternet. Apple processes the cancellation and handles the refund decision.
- On your iPhone or iPad:
- Open the Settings app on your device.
- Tap your name at the very top of the screen.
- Select Subscriptions from the menu.
- Find and tap Betternet in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and follow the prompts to confirm.
- Take a screenshot showing the cancellation confirmation.
- On your Mac computer:
- Open the App Store application.
- Click your account profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select Account Settings.
- Scroll to the Subscriptions section and click Manage.
- Locate Betternet and click the Edit button next to it.
- Select Cancel Subscription and confirm your choice.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation.
- To request a refund after cancelling:
- Visit reportaproblem.apple.com or use the Apple Support app.
- Select the Betternet transaction you wish to refund.
- Choose Report a Problem and indicate the reason (for example, service not as described).
- Apple will review and respond within 48 hours. Apple typically grants refunds within the 14-day window from purchase.
Cancel your Betternet subscription on google play (Android)
Android users who subscribed via Google Play must cancel through Google's own subscription management system. Google, not Betternet, processes your cancellation and refund decision.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select Payments and subscriptions.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find Betternet in your list of active subscriptions and tap it.
- Select Cancel subscription and follow the prompts to confirm.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation message.
- To request a refund, return to the subscription details and look for a Refund option.
- If no refund button appears, visit support.google.com/googleplay and submit a request through the help form, citing that the service did not perform as advertised or that you cancelled within the eligible refund window.
- Google typically responds within 24 to 48 hours and grants refunds within 48 hours if approved.
What happens after you cancel Betternet
Cancelling your subscription halts future charges, but your refund timeline depends on your purchase method and how quickly you act. Understanding what to expect next prevents confusion and ensures you pursue all available options if money is not returned.
Timeline for cancellation and refund processing
Once you cancel, your access to Betternet Premium ends immediately or at the end of your current billing period, depending on the payment platform's rules. If you cancel a direct website purchase, Betternet typically processes refund requests within 5 to 10 business days if you are within the 45-day window. If you cancel through Apple App Store, Apple usually responds to refund requests within 48 hours. If you cancel through Google Play, Google typically processes refunds within 48 hours of approval.
Refunds appear on your original payment method as a credit. If you paid by credit card, the refund typically shows within 5 to 10 business days after the payment processor approves it. If you paid by bank transfer, the refund may take up to 3 weeks to appear in your account. Yafee advises checking your bank or credit card statement regularly to confirm the refund has been applied.
What to do if Betternet refuses your refund request
If Betternet rejects your refund claim or stops responding to your emails, you have formal escalation options under Australian law.
- Contact the payment processor or app marketplace again. Provide your cancellation screenshot and explain that Betternet has refused your refund request. Emphasize that the service did not perform as advertised or that you cancelled within the refund window.
- File a chargeback dispute with your credit card or bank. Explain that you cancelled the subscription and the company has refused to refund your money. Your bank can recover the funds directly from Betternet's payment processor.
- Lodge a formal complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). Visit accc.gov.au and submit your complaint online. Include all screenshots, emails, and evidence of cancellation and refusal. The ACCC investigates breaches of Consumer Law and can compel Betternet to refund you.
- If Betternet operates an Australian office or uses an Australian payment processor, you may also pursue a claim in a small claims tribunal (Small Claims) in your state or territory.
Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate these escalation paths and recover money when companies initially refused refunds. Do not accept a company's first "no" as final.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancelling a subscription is straightforward if you follow the correct steps, but certain missteps can delay your refund or leave you stranded without proof of cancellation. Here is how to stay clear of the most frequent pitfalls.
Mistake 1: cancelling in the wrong place
The biggest error users make is attempting to cancel Betternet through the app itself, the main website, or an email address when they actually subscribed via Apple or Google. If you bought through an app marketplace, you must cancel there, not through Betternet. Cancelling in the wrong place leaves your subscription active and continues to charge you. Always verify your purchase method before you initiate cancellation. Check your bank or credit card statement to see whether the charge came from Betternet, Apple, or Google.
Mistake 2: not taking screenshots of every step
If you do not document your cancellation and refund requests, you have no evidence if a dispute later arises. App marketplaces and support teams sometimes lose records or deny that a cancellation was submitted. Screenshots of your cancellation confirmation, refund request, and any support correspondence become your proof. Take a screenshot the moment you see the cancellation confirmation message, and save it with the date and time.
Mistake 3: missing the refund window
Betternet advertises a 45-day refund guarantee, but this window begins from your purchase date, not your cancellation date. If you cancel on day 50, you have likely forfeited your refund eligibility. Check the date on your credit card or bank statement to confirm when you were first charged. Calculate the 45-day window and act before it expires. If you are outside the window but believe the service was faulty, you remain eligible for a refund under Australian Consumer Law, so escalate to the ACCC.
Mistake 4: assuming the cancellation is complete
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically trigger a refund. You must actively request a refund by either clicking a refund button in the app marketplace or emailing Betternet's support team with your cancellation proof. Many users cancel and assume the money will come back automatically, then later discover they are still out of pocket. After cancelling, always search for a refund option or contact the company to formally request one.
Mistake 5: paying out of pocket again to avoid charges
Some users, frustrated by failed cancellations, simply pay for an alternative VPN service without pursuing a refund from Betternet. This approach is costly and leaves the company unpunished. Instead, use Yafee's structured escalation method: document everything, contact the ACCC if necessary, and pursue every channel available to you. Recovering your original payment is your right, not an option.
Betternet cancellation checklist and action plan
Use this checklist to ensure you have completed every necessary step and preserved all evidence before closing your claim. Tick off each item as you go.
| Action | Completed | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Locate your purchase confirmation email | Note the date and method (direct, Apple, Google) | |
| Take a screenshot of your credit card or bank statement showing the Betternet charge | Include date, amount in AUD, and payment method | |
| Cancel through the correct platform (Betternet, Apple, or Google) | Screenshot the cancellation confirmation immediately | |
| Request a refund if not automatic | Email or submit a refund claim within 45 days if applicable | |
| Wait 10 business days and check your bank account | Document any refund received | |
| File an ACCC complaint if refund is refused or overdue | Include all screenshots and correspondence |
Comparing Betternet with other VPN services for australian users
Before you finalise your cancellation, consider whether another VPN better suits your needs. The table below compares key features to help you make an informed choice.
| VPN service | Approx AUD monthly price | Refund window | Australian servers | Simultaneous connections |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ExpressVPN | A$16-18 | 30 days | Yes (multiple) | 5 |
| Betternet Premium | A$19-21 | 45 days | No specific mention | 3-5 |
| NordVPN | A$13-15 | 30 days | Yes (multiple) | 6 |
| Surfshark | A$12-14 | 30 days | Yes | Unlimited |
| CyberGhost | A$15-17 | 45 days | Yes | 7 |
| Proton VPN | Free or A$10-12 | 30 days (paid) | No | 10 (Free: 1) |
Yafee emphasises that your choice of VPN should reflect your specific needs. If Betternet's performance has been unreliable or if you need dedicated Australian servers, the competitors listed above may offer better value. However, do not switch providers without first securing your refund from Betternet. Yafee's cancellation guidance ensures you recover every dollar before committing to a new service.

Next steps to cancel Betternet
Start by identifying your purchase method using your bank or credit card statement. Take a screenshot of the charge. Navigate to the correct cancellation platform (betternet.com, Apple App Store, or Google Play) and follow the relevant steps outlined in this guide. Screenshot every confirmation message. If a refund button appears, request one immediately. If Betternet or the app marketplace refuses, file a complaint with the ACCC within 30 days. Yafee's legal team can review your evidence and advise on escalation if necessary.
Do not delay. The 45-day refund window closes quickly, and time-sensitive evidence becomes harder to gather once billing cycles shift. Contact Betternet's support team today, preserve all communications, and pursue your refund with confidence in your consumer rights.
