Frequently asked questions
Cancel Scispace: Step-by-Step Process
How to cancel SciSpace and protect your research investment
Understanding SciSpace and why cancellation matters
SciSpace is an AI-powered research platform designed to accelerate how researchers, students, and academics read, summarize, and organize academic papers. The service delivers features including PDF chat, AI copilot assistance, literature review support, and citation management. You may have subscribed expecting a streamlined research workflow, but if the platform is not delivering value or you have spotted unexpected charges on your billing statement, cancelling is your legal right.
At Yafee, we recognize that subscription services do not always align with your actual needs, and that is entirely normal. Whether SciSpace failed to meet your expectations, you have discovered a more cost-effective alternative, or you are simply eliminating redundant expenses, this guide will walk you through every step of cancelling your subscription and recovering a refund if you qualify.
Common reasons users cancel SciSpace
Subscribers typically cancel SciSpace because the AI features do not match their research methodology, the pricing appears excessive for their usage level, or they have found cheaper alternatives. Some users cancel following accidental purchases or unnoticed auto-renewals. Others discover the free tier meets their needs or gain access through their university or employer institutional accounts.
Your consumer rights under indian law
The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 grants you the right to cancel any subscription service without penalty within a reasonable period. If SciSpace has charged you without explicit consent, or if the service has failed to deliver as promised, you can escalate your complaint to the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) or your state consumer commission. Yafee strongly recommends preserving all receipts, confirmation emails, billing statements, and correspondence-these documents become critical evidence if a dispute arises.
Your legal position: Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, Section 2(7), a subscription is a continuous supply contract. You have the right to terminate it on reasonable notice, and the service provider must refund any charges for unused services or breached promises. If SciSpace continues billing after your cancellation request, you can file a complaint with the CCPA.
SciSpace pricing structure and plan options
Understanding your subscription tier and billing cycle helps you calculate refund eligibility and ensures you cancel before the next automatic renewal charge.
| Plan name | Price (INR) | Billing cycle | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI Advanced Plan | ₹29,000 | Annual | AI Copilot, Smart Paper Summarizer, paraphrasing, literature review, unlimited queries, priority support |
| Premium (annual) | ₹3,599 | Annual | Enhanced Copilot, unlimited messages, early feature access, priority support |
| Premium (monthly) | ₹1,899 | Monthly | Enhanced Copilot, unlimited messages, literature review, priority support |
| Free plan | ₹0 | Ongoing | Basic PDF chat, limited Copilot queries, community access |
If you are on the Advanced Plan, your annual investment is substantial, making timely cancellation before auto-renewal critical. Yafee users who take action within 14 days of a charge typically see better refund outcomes from billing platforms.
Identifying your billing source and subscription location
Your subscription channel determines your cancellation method and which payment processor handles your refund.
Determine where you purchased SciSpace
You purchased SciSpace through one of three channels: Apple's App Store (iOS devices), Google Play (Android devices), or the SciSpace website directly. Check your email inbox for a receipt mentioning "Apple," "Google Play," or "SciSpace Billing"-this identifies which billing system manages your subscription. If you subscribed via your workplace or university account, contact your institution's IT or student services department rather than attempting direct cancellation.
Locate your original payment confirmation
Search your email for "SciSpace," "Typeset," or "subscription confirmation." This email contains your subscription start date, plan name, billing frequency, and renewal date. Note your renewal date-this determines your refund eligibility window. If the original confirmation email is missing, log into your SciSpace account and check the Account Settings or Subscription section for billing history.
Step-by-step cancellation process by platform
Your cancellation method depends on which platform processed your payment. Follow the procedure for your specific billing source.
Cancelling a SciSpace subscription on the website
This method applies if you subscribed directly through scispace.com or typeset.io.

Refund eligibility and recovery timeline
Your refund rights depend on when you cancel, your billing cycle, and the applicable platform policies. Yafee advises acting quickly to maximize your recovery.
Refund conditions for SciSpace cancellations
You typically qualify for a refund if you cancel within 14 days of a charge and have used fewer than half of the billed services. If you cancel mid-cycle on a monthly subscription, you do not receive a refund for the current month, but you stop paying future charges. For annual plans, if you cancel within 30 days of purchase, most platforms offer pro-rata refunds-you receive a refund for the unused portion of your subscription. Yafee recommends requesting a refund explicitly in writing to SciSpace support if the automatic refund is not processed.
Refund processing by payment method
| Billing source | Typical refund window | Processing time |
|---|---|---|
| Apple App Store | Within 30 days of purchase | 3-5 business days |
| Google Play Store | Within 48 hours of purchase | 3-5 business days |
| SciSpace website (credit card) | Within 14 days of charge | 5-10 business days |
| SciSpace website (digital wallet) | Within 14 days of charge | 5-10 business days |
Requesting a refund directly from SciSpace
If the automatic refund does not appear after 14 days, or if you believe you are entitled to a refund outside the standard window, contact SciSpace support directly. Email [email protected] or [email protected] with the subject line "Refund Request - [Your Email Address]." Include your original purchase date, subscription plan name, billing amount, and the reason for your cancellation. Request a refund explicitly and provide any relevant documentation. Yafee users report that direct requests often succeed when made within 30 days of the disputed charge.
After cancellation: protecting your research access and data
Once you cancel, you retain certain rights to your data and research materials.
Exporting your research data before access expires
Most SciSpace subscriptions grant access to your account for the remainder of your paid billing period. After that period ends, your access terminates. Before your final access date, export any research notes, citations, paper summaries, or custom projects. Log into your account, locate the export or download option (usually in Settings or under individual papers), and save your data locally as PDF or CSV files. This prevents loss of your research work after cancellation takes effect.
Verifying cancellation and monitoring your billing statement
Monitor your bank or card statement for 30 days after cancellation to confirm no further charges appear. If SciSpace continues billing after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately and dispute the charge. Preserve all cancellation confirmations and evidence of your cancellation request-these support your dispute claim. If you subscribed via Apple or Google Play, verify in those apps that the subscription no longer appears in your active subscriptions list.
Escalation and dispute resolution under indian consumer law
If SciSpace refuses to cancel your subscription or fails to process your refund, the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 provides legal remedies.
Filing a complaint with the central consumer protection authority
The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) oversees consumer complaints against national and multi-state service providers. If SciSpace fails to honour your cancellation or refund request within 30 days of your written demand, you can file a formal complaint with the CCPA. File your complaint online at ccpa.gov.in or in writing to the CCPA office in New Delhi. Attach all evidence: cancellation confirmation emails, billing statements, refund requests, and correspondence with SciSpace. The CCPA may order SciSpace to refund your money and pay compensation for non-compliance.
Escalating to your state consumer commission
Alternatively, file a complaint with your state consumer commission (if your subscription value is under ₹1 crore). This process is faster for smaller disputes. Your state commission website lists the filing procedure and required documents. Yafee strongly recommends including a written account of the dispute, a timeline of your cancellation attempts, and all documentary evidence. Include the statement that SciSpace violated the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 by either denying your cancellation right or failing to refund as required by law.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellations can fail through simple oversights-the following section helps you avoid costly errors and protect your refund.
Mistake 1: not capturing proof of cancellation
Always screenshot or save your cancellation confirmation page and cancellation confirmation email. Do not rely on memory or assumptions that the platform processed your request. SciSpace or the payment platform will deny your dispute if you cannot produce proof of cancellation. Create a dedicated folder on your computer or cloud storage for all subscription-related confirmations.
Mistake 2: cancelling too close to the renewal date
Cancellation requests submitted within 48 hours of your renewal date may process after the charge posts. If your renewal date is imminent, contact SciSpace support directly via email to ensure cancellation takes effect before the next billing cycle. Include your renewal date in your email and request written confirmation that your subscription will not renew.
Mistake 3: confusing cancellation with downgrade
Some platforms offer a "pause" or "downgrade to free" option instead of full cancellation. These actions do not stop billing if your subscription auto-renews. Ensure you select the option explicitly labeled "Cancel Subscription" or "Terminate Subscription," not "Pause" or "Switch Plan."
Mistake 4: cancelling through the wrong platform
If you subscribed via Apple App Store, cancelling through the SciSpace website will not work. Conversely, cancelling through Apple will not affect a direct SciSpace website subscription. Always cancel through the exact platform where you originally subscribed.
Mistake 5: not requesting a refund explicitly after cancellation
Cancellation and refunds are separate actions. Cancelling stops future charges but does not automatically trigger a refund for charges already posted. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, email SciSpace support with "Refund Request" in the subject line. Reference your original charge date, subscription plan, and reason for the refund request.

| Platform | Annual cost (INR) | PDF chat and AI features | Citation management | Best for |

| Elicit | Free or subscription-based | Yes | Limited | Literature review and research synthesis |
