Frequently asked questions
Cancel Opal: The Right Way to Manage Your Subscription
How to cancel your Opal subscription in india and recover your refund
Understanding Opal and your cancellation options in india
Opal is a digital wellness app designed to help you manage screen time and build healthier device habits across iOS, Android, and web platforms. You subscribe through one of three billing channels-the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Opal's web platform using Stripe-and your cancellation method depends entirely on which platform processed your purchase. At Yafee, we have guided thousands of Indian consumers through subscription cancellations across all payment gateways, and we understand that tools sometimes stop serving your needs. Whether Opal no longer fits your routine, you have found an alternative app, or you are reducing your digital spending, cancelling should be simple and transparent. This guide walks you through every cancellation method available in India, your refund entitlements under the Consumer Protection Act 2019, and the precise steps to avoid unwanted charges.
Why your billing platform determines your cancellation route
Your subscription lives on one of three platforms, and each controls its own cancellation process. If you subscribed via Apple, Apple processes your cancellation through iOS settings-Opal support cannot override this. If you used Google Play, Google manages the entire process. If you signed up on Opal's web platform using Stripe, Opal's support team handles your request directly. Identifying which platform you used is your first critical step.
Timing your cancellation to avoid charges
Cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date to prevent unwanted charges. Most subscribers lose money because they cancel within hours of their renewal date. Your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing period, so cancelling early does not immediately disconnect your access-you retain full features until expiry.
Opal subscription pricing and plan structure in india
Understanding your current plan and its cost helps you decide whether cancellation makes financial sense and shows you what comparable alternatives charge.
| Plan type | Monthly cost (INR) | Billing cycle | Full features included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly plan | ₹199 | 7 days | Full Opal Pro features |
| Monthly plan | ₹249 | 30 days | Full Opal Pro features |
| Yearly plan | ₹1,149 | 365 days | Full Opal Pro features |
| Opal Pro subscription | ₹579 | Variable | Alternative Pro tier |
| Student weekly | ₹99 | 7 days | Student-discounted access |
Important: If you are on a yearly plan and cancel early, check whether Opal or your billing platform offers pro-rata refunds. You may recover a portion of your unused subscription cost. Yafee recommends requesting this explicitly in your cancellation communication.
Your consumer rights under indian law
The Consumer Protection Act 2019 grants you specific protections when cancelling digital subscriptions in India.
Right to cancel and receive a refund
Under the Consumer Protection Act 2019, you have the right to cancel any subscription service within 14 days of purchase without providing a reason, provided the transaction is processed via a digital payment method. This is your statutory cooling-off period. Furthermore, if Opal breaches its service terms, fails to deliver promised features, or uses deceptive billing practices, you can cancel immediately and claim a full refund. The relevant enforcement body is the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA), which investigates complaints against digital service providers across India.
Protections against hidden charges
Opal must clearly disclose all subscription terms-including the renewal date, amount, and cancellation procedure-before you pay. If Opal's billing is unclear, you may dispute the charge with your bank or payment provider. In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act 2019, any charge made without explicit consent is unlawful. Yafee advises you to retain all confirmation emails and screenshots of subscription terms for evidence.
Your legal position: You hold the legal right to cancel your subscription at any time after the initial 14-day cooling-off period expires. If Opal refuses to process your cancellation or continues to charge you after you cancel, you can file a complaint with the CCPA or escalate to your state-level consumer commission. You are also entitled to dispute the charge with your bank under the Payment Systems Regulation framework.
How to cancel Opal on iOS via apple app store
If you purchased Opal through the Apple App Store, Apple manages your subscription billing and cancellation entirely through your iPhone or iPad settings.
Step 1: open apple ID settings
Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. Tap your name at the top to access your Apple ID profile. If you do not see your name, you are not signed into iCloud-sign in using your Apple ID credentials first.
Step 2: navigate to subscriptions
Select Subscriptions from the menu. This displays every active subscription linked to your Apple ID across all apps.
Step 3: select Opal and cancel
Tap Opal from the list of subscriptions. Tap Cancel subscription or Cancel plan (wording varies by iOS version). Confirm the cancellation when the system prompts you. Apple may offer discounted renewal rates-you can accept or decline these retention offers.
Step 4: verify cancellation
Return to your subscriptions list. Opal should show a status of "Cancelled" with an expiry date matching your current billing period end. Screenshot this confirmation for your records.
Timing alert: Cancel at least 24 hours before your next renewal date. If you cancel within 24 hours of renewal and your payment processes, contact Apple Support within 24 hours of the charge to request a refund.
How to cancel Opal on android via google play store
If you subscribed through Google Play Store, Google controls your billing and cancellation through your Android device or web browser.
Step 1: open google play on your device
Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner. Select Manage your Google Account.
Step 2: navigate to subscriptions
Tap the Payments and subscriptions tab. Select Subscriptions. A list of all active subscriptions appears.
Step 3: select Opal and cancel
Tap Opal. Tap Cancel subscription. Google displays your cancellation date-this is the end date of your current billing period. Confirm by tapping Cancel subscription again.
Step 4: confirm cancellation via email
Google sends a confirmation email to your account address. Check your inbox and spam folder for this message. Your subscription remains active until the displayed expiry date, after which you lose access to Opal Pro features.
Web browser alternative: If you prefer to use a browser, visit play.google.com, sign into your account, navigate to Manage subscriptions, select Opal, and click Cancel subscription. The process is identical.
How to cancel Opal on the web via stripe
If you signed up on Opal's web platform and paid using Stripe, you must contact Opal support directly to request cancellation.
Step 1: gather your account details
Locate the email address associated with your Opal account and any order or invoice number from your subscription confirmation email. Note the exact amount you pay and your billing date.
Step 2: contact Opal support
Email Opal support at the address provided on their website (typically [email protected] or [email protected]). Write a clear cancellation request that includes your registered email address, full name, and order number. State: "I request cancellation of my Opal subscription effective immediately. Please confirm cancellation in writing and provide details of any refund due."
Step 3: request cancellation confirmation
Ask Opal to confirm your cancellation in writing via email. Request the exact date your subscription ends and details of any refund. Yafee recommends requesting a cancellation confirmation number for your records.
Step 4: monitor your payment account
Check your bank statement or Stripe account for 5 business days after cancellation. If Opal continues to charge you, file a dispute with your bank immediately and forward your cancellation email as evidence.
Refund entitlements and how to claim them
Your refund depends on when you cancel and which billing platform processed your payment.
14-day cooling-off period refunds
If you cancel within 14 days of your first purchase, the Consumer Protection Act 2019 entitles you to a full refund. This applies regardless of whether you have used Opal or not. Contact Opal support or your billing platform and explicitly state that you are exercising your statutory 14-day cooling-off right. Yafee advises sending this request in writing via email for evidence.
Pro-rata refunds for early cancellation
If you cancel after the 14-day period on a yearly or monthly plan, Opal may offer a pro-rata refund-meaning you recover the cost of unused days. For example, if you paid ₹1,149 for a yearly plan and cancel after 6 months, you may receive approximately ₹575. Apple, Google, and Stripe processes differ; request this explicitly from your billing provider.
How to request a refund through your billing provider
Apple users: Open Settings, navigate to Subscriptions, select Opal, and tap Report an issue. Explain that you cancelled within 14 days and request a refund. Include your cancellation date. Google Play users: Open Google Play Store, tap your profile icon, select Manage subscriptions, tap Opal, and select Report an issue. Stripe users: Contact Opal support directly by email and request a refund with cancellation confirmation. In all cases, retain email confirmations of your request and keep records for 30 days.
Disputing a charge through your bank
If Opal continues to charge you after cancellation or refuses to refund, contact your bank's dispute resolution team. Provide the cancellation email, billing statements, and your account statement. Under the Payment Systems Regulation, your bank must investigate within 15 days. Yafee recommends filing a dispute within 60 days of any unauthorized charge.
What happens after you cancel
Cancelling does not immediately disconnect your service-you retain full access until the end of your current billing period.
Your access period after cancellation
Once you cancel, Opal remains active and fully functional until your subscription expires. For example, if you cancel on the 15th day of a monthly plan that renews on the 30th, you have access until the 30th. After expiry, you lose access to all Opal Pro features. Free features (if available) may remain accessible, but paid blocks, scheduling, and reports become unavailable.
Preventing accidental re-subscription
After cancellation, remove Opal from your device if you no longer need it. If you reinstall the app without resubscribing, you will not be charged. If you receive a notification asking you to renew, ignore it. Furthermore, remove Opal from your app library in Apple Wallet or Google Play if you do not plan to use it again. This prevents accidental renewal if you accidentally tap "restore purchases."
Checking your cancellation status
Return to your subscription list 48 hours after cancelling. Apple and Google subscriptions should show a "Cancelled" status with an expiry date. For web subscriptions, check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Opal. If you do not receive confirmation within 24 hours, resend your cancellation request and request proof of cancellation.
Common mistakes when cancelling and how to avoid them
Cancelling subscriptions is straightforward once you understand the process-most people simply miss a single detail that costs them money.
Cancelling too close to your renewal date
If your subscription renews on the 30th, cancel by the 28th. Many subscribers cancel on the 29th and still face a charge because the billing system processes renewal the night before the stated date. Check your confirmation email or account settings for the exact renewal time (often midnight IST) and cancel at least 48 hours beforehand. Screenshot your cancellation confirmation immediately.
Confusing cancellation with account deletion
Cancelling your subscription does not delete your Opal account. Your account remains active, and you can resubscribe at any time without creating a new profile. If you want to fully delete your account data, contact Opal support separately and request account deletion under data protection rights. Yafee recommends requesting this in a separate email from your cancellation request for clarity.
Not checking your payment method after cancellation
After cancellation, monitor your bank statement for 7 days. If a charge appears despite cancellation, contact your bank immediately and provide your cancellation email. Do not ignore the charge-the sooner you dispute it, the faster your bank can investigate. Under the Payment Systems Regulation, your bank must complete an investigation within 15 days and either reverse the charge or explain why it was legitimate.
Losing your cancellation confirmation
Screenshare or save every cancellation confirmation-whether from Apple, Google, Opal, or your bank. Keep these files for at least 90 days. If a dispute arises, you need this evidence. Furthermore, email yourself a copy of your cancellation screenshot. This creates a timestamped record.
Comparing Opal with alternative screen-time management apps
If you are cancelling because Opal does not meet your needs, consider these alternatives available in India.
| App name | Pricing in INR | Core features | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opal | ₹249/month | App blocking, focus sessions, insights | iOS and Android users seeking simplicity |
| Digital Wellbeing (Google) | Free | App limits, wind-down, focus mode | Android users wanting a free option |
| Screen Time (Apple) | Free | App limits, downtime, content restrictions | iOS users wanting native controls |
| Freedom | ₹299/month | App and website blocking, scheduling | Users needing cross-device blocking |
| One Sec | ₹199/month | App notifications, focus mode, analytics | Users wanting minimal notifications |
If cost is your concern, Google's Digital Wellbeing (Android) and Apple's Screen Time (iOS) offer equivalent blocking features at no cost. If you need more advanced scheduling, Freedom provides cross-platform blocking. At Yafee, we help consumers compare these options before cancelling to ensure you find a tool that genuinely serves your goals.

Summary and next steps
Cancelling your Opal subscription in India is legally protected and straightforward when you follow these steps. Your cancellation route depends on your billing platform-Apple App Store users cancel through iOS settings, Google Play users cancel through the Play Store app, and web users contact Opal support directly. You retain access to Opal until the end of your current billing period, and the Consumer Protection Act 2019 entitles you to a full refund if you cancel within 14 days of purchase. Monitor your payment method for 7 days after cancellation, and if unauthorized charges appear, dispute them immediately with your bank. At Yafee (yafee.com), we have helped thousands of Indian consumers navigate subscription cancellations across all platforms and payment methods. If you encounter resistance from Opal or your billing provider, escalate to the Central Consumer Protection Authority or your state consumer commission. Your consumer rights are clear, and you have multiple legal remedies if a company refuses to honour your cancellation.
