How to cancel Momentum subscription in india: legal rights and step-by-step process
Understanding Momentum and your subscription
Momentum is a subscription-based wellness and productivity platform designed to help users across India build lasting habits, improve focus, and track daily progress. The service operates in two main versions: Momentum: Energising Habits (created by Ali Abdaal) and Momentum Plus (by Momentum Dashboard Corp.), each offering distinct features ranging from habit-tracking dashboards to Pomodoro timers and productivity integrations.
You subscribe to Momentum to gain structured coaching, accountability, and daily motivation. However, circumstances change. You may discover the app does not align with your workflow, prefer competing platforms, or need to reduce subscription expenses. Whatever your reason, you have a legal right to cancel. At Yafee, we help thousands of Indian consumers understand their cancellation entitlements and navigate the process without delay or confusion.
Who uses Momentum in india
Momentum attracts professionals, students, entrepreneurs, and productivity-focused individuals seeking structured habit coaching and focus support. Plans vary by duration (weekly, monthly, or annual) and by version. Understanding your subscription tier is essential for cancelling the correct plan and pursuing any eligible refunds.
Why you might want to cancel
Common reasons include discovering the app does not deliver promised results, encountering unexpected auto-renewal charges, switching to alternative platforms, or tightening your budget. You do not need to justify your cancellation decision. Your choice to cancel is a consumer right, and Yafee recognizes that clarity and simplicity in the process are non-negotiable.
Momentum subscription pricing and billing plans
Before you cancel, review your current plan, billing amount, and renewal date to understand what you pay and when.

Why you should consider cancelling
This section helps you weigh whether cancellation aligns with your situation.
Reasons to keep your Momentum subscription
Retain your subscription if you actively use the app's habit-tracking dashboard, value daily motivation and coaching, integrate it with your productivity workflow, or are in the early stages of building habits that need structured support. The app delivers best results when you engage consistently, so cancellation may not benefit you if you have only recently started.
Reasons to cancel Momentum
Cancel if the app remains unused after 14-30 days of trial, the subscription cost outweighs perceived value, you have switched to competing habit-tracking platforms, unexpected auto-renewal charges frustrate you, or your financial priorities have shifted. You should also cancel if Momentum fails to deliver the promised habit-formation results within your trial or initial billing period. None of these reasons require further justification.
Your cancellation method depends on where you purchased your subscription: Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or direct web purchase.
Cancel Momentum via apple app store (iOS devices)
Follow these exact steps to disable your Momentum subscription on iPhone or iPad:
- Open the Apple App Store application on your iOS device.
- Locate and tap the account profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
- Tap "Subscriptions" from the menu that appears.
- You will see all your active and inactive subscriptions listed.
- Find and tap "Momentum" in your subscriptions list.
- The app name may appear as "Momentum: Energising Habits" or "Momentum Plus" depending on your version.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
- App Store will present cancellation confirmation options.
- Confirm your cancellation by selecting "Confirm" or "Stop Subscription."
- Your subscription will end at the next renewal date; you retain access until that date.
- Retain your cancellation confirmation email or screenshot for your records.
- App Store typically sends an immediate confirmation to your registered Apple ID email address.
Your cancellation takes effect immediately; however, you retain access to Momentum's full features until your current billing cycle expires. No prorated refund is issued for the remaining time in your current period under standard Apple App Store terms, unless you initiated the cancellation within 14 days of purchase (Apple's refund window).
Cancel Momentum via google play store (Android devices)
Follow these steps to cancel your Momentum subscription on Android smartphones and tablets:
- Open the Google Play Store application on your Android device.
- Tap the profile icon (usually located in the top-right corner).
- Select "Payments and subscriptions" from the dropdown menu.
- You may need to tap "Manage subscriptions" if this option appears.
- Tap "Subscriptions" to view your active subscription list.
- All currently active subscriptions will display with renewal dates and amounts.
- Find and tap "Momentum" or "Momentum Plus" in your subscriptions.
- The app name on Google Play Store matches the version you purchased.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and follow the prompts.
- Google Play may offer retention incentives or plan downgrades; you can decline these.
- Confirm your cancellation by tapping "Yes, cancel subscription."
- Your access continues until the end of your current billing period.
- Save your cancellation confirmation email sent to your Google account.
- This serves as your proof of cancellation if disputes arise later.
Like Apple App Store, Google Play Store cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You do not lose access mid-cycle. Refunds are available only within 15 days of purchase unless you fall under specific consumer protection provisions (discussed below).
Cancel via direct web subscription or email
If you purchased Momentum directly through the Momentum website rather than via an app store, follow this approach:
- Visit the official Momentum website and log into your account.
- Use your registered email address and password.
- Navigate to your Account or Billing settings.
- Look for sections labeled "Subscriptions," "Billing," or "Payment Methods."
- Locate your active Momentum subscription and select "Cancel" or "Manage Subscription."
- The system should display your next renewal date and current amount.
- Complete the cancellation form and submit.
- The website may ask your reason for cancellation; you are not obligated to provide detailed feedback.
- If the website lacks a cancellation option, email the Momentum support team at the address listed on their contact page.
- Write: "I request cancellation of my Momentum subscription effective immediately. My registered email is [your email]. Please confirm cancellation and send a cancellation receipt."
- Save all cancellation confirmations and email responses.
- These documents protect you if unauthorized charges occur post-cancellation.
Direct web cancellations may be processed within 5 to 10 business days. Verify the cancellation by checking your account one week later and confirming that your next renewal date has disappeared.
Your consumer rights and cancellation protections under indian law
Your cancellation right is protected by Indian consumer protection legislation and subscription regulations.
Legal basis for your cancellation right
Your legal position is grounded in the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, which governs digital subscriptions and subscription-based services sold within India. Under Section 18 (right to cancel), you have the right to cancel a service subscription within 14 days from the date of purchase without providing reason or incurring penalty. This 14-day window applies to subscriptions purchased on or after the relevant amendment date in your state.
Furthermore, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued guidelines on recurring transactions and auto-renewal mandates. All subscription services must provide clear, easy cancellation mechanisms. Your bank or payment provider (Visa, Mastercard, UPI, NEFT) must honor cancellation instructions without delay if the merchant fails to comply.
Additionally, the Information Technology (Intermediaries Guidelines) Rules, 2021, require subscription platforms to maintain transparent refund and cancellation policies accessible to all users before purchase.
Your legal position
You own the right to cancel at any time, not merely within the 14-day window. If Momentum refuses to honor your cancellation or continues charging after you have cancelled, you have grounds to file a complaint with the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (DCDRC) in your jurisdiction or the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC). You can also escalate to your State Consumer Protection Authority if local resolution fails. Yafee advises preserving all cancellation confirmations, screenshots, and billing statements to support any complaint.
Refund eligibility and timeline
You are entitled to a full refund if you cancel within 14 days of purchase. After this window, refunds depend on Momentum's stated policy and the payment method:
- Apple App Store: Refunds available within 15 days of purchase; contact Apple directly for disputes beyond this period.
- Google Play Store: Refunds available within 15 days of purchase; Google may extend this if you have a consistent refund history.
- Direct payment: Refunds depend on Momentum's merchant refund policy, which you should review before cancellation.
If Momentum refuses a refund to which you are entitled, file a chargeback or reversal request with your bank, credit card company, or UPI service provider. Provide your cancellation confirmation and proof of the unrefunded charge. Processing typically takes 30-60 days.
Cancellation does not mean instant service loss; understand what to expect in the hours and days following.
Access and feature availability post-cancellation
Your Momentum access continues until the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancel on the 15th of a 30-day cycle that renews on the 20th, you retain full access until the 20th. On the renewal date, your account reverts to the free tier (if available) or loses access entirely, depending on Momentum's model.
Download or export any personal habit data, habit logs, or coaching notes before your final access date expires. Momentum does not guarantee data retention after account termination.
Confirming cancellation success
One week after cancellation, log back into your account and verify that your next renewal date has disappeared. If a renewal date still appears, contact Momentum support immediately with your original cancellation confirmation. Request written confirmation that your subscription has been terminated.
Monitoring for unauthorized charges
Review your bank or credit card statements for 60 days post-cancellation. If Momentum charges you after your confirmed cancellation date, this constitutes unauthorized billing. Document the charge with a screenshot, then dispute it through your bank, payment processor, or UPI service provider. Most institutions reverse unauthorized charges within 30 days and may flag Momentum for repeat violations.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward, but small oversights can delay the process or leave you vulnerable to surprise charges. We have helped thousands of consumers at Yafee avoid these pitfalls.
Deleting the app without cancelling the subscription
Removing Momentum from your device does not cancel your subscription. The app is a client; your subscription exists on Momentum's servers and your payment method's recurring charge list. You must explicitly cancel through the app store or Momentum's website. Deletion alone leaves your auto-renewal active.
Cancelling near your renewal date without checking the date
If your renewal date is in two days and you cancel today, you may still be charged for the next cycle. Review your exact renewal date in your subscription settings before cancelling. If you have been charged unexpectedly after cancellation, dispute the charge immediately.
Failing to save cancellation confirmations
Screenshot your cancellation confirmation screen and save the confirmation email. If Momentum disputes your cancellation or charges you again, this evidence protects your claim. Without proof, resolving disputes becomes your word against theirs.
Not monitoring for lingering charges
Many users forget to check their statements after cancelling. Set a phone reminder for 7 days post-cancellation to review your bank or credit card statement. Catching unauthorized charges early strengthens your dispute claim.
Accepting retention offers without reading terms
When you initiate cancellation, Momentum or the app store may offer discounts or plan downgrades. Do not accept these unless you genuinely want to keep the subscription. These offers may lock you into a new billing cycle if accepted.
Cancellation timeline and what to expect
Understand the sequence of events from cancellation request to final account closure.
