How to cancel Quizizz and stop unwanted charges in malaysia

What Quizizz is and why you might want to leave

Quizizz is an online learning platform that lets teachers, schools, and teams create live quiz games, self-paced assignments, and classroom activities in one dashboard. The service offers a free tier alongside paid plans with advanced features like video questions, AI-powered quiz generation, analytics, and team management tools.

Many Malaysian users sign up to test the platform, then find the paid features do not match their needs, or the monthly charge accumulates without active use. At Yafee, we help users understand their cancellation rights and walk through the exact steps to stop charges before your next billing cycle.

How Quizizz pricing works in malaysia

Quizizz charges in Malaysian Ringgit (RM) and offers a free Starter tier at RM0.00 per month. Paid tiers range from approximately RM20.00 to RM200.00 monthly, depending on features like advanced content tools, detailed analytics, and multi-user team administration.

The platform advertises a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. However, after your trial ends, your data remains saved but you cannot access or use quizzes unless you upgrade to a paid plan. This "soft paywall" catches many users off guard, prompting immediate cancellation once they realise the paid subscription has begun.

When you should cancel versus when you might keep it

Cancel your Quizizz subscription if you have stopped using the platform, no longer teach or manage classes that require the paid features, or have found a cheaper alternative. You should also cancel if you accidentally upgraded during a free trial and do not need the paid tools.

Keep your subscription if you actively create quizzes for regular classes, rely on the analytics to track student progress, or use the AI quiz generation to save preparation time. Many schools and tutoring centres find that the professional tier justifies the cost when used consistently across multiple classes.

Your legal position as a malaysian consumer

Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA) grants you the right to cancel a distance contract (which includes online subscriptions) within 14 calendar days of purchase, provided you have not yet received the goods or service. The CPA also requires companies to provide clear, truthful information about pricing, cancellation terms, and the automatic renewal clause before you commit to payment.

Consequently, Quizizz must disclose upfront whether your free trial will automatically convert to a paid subscription, and you have the statutory right to cancel that paid subscription within 14 days of the first charge without penalty. After 14 days, your contractual rights depend on Quizizz's own terms and conditions, but you retain your basic right not to be overcharged or billed for a service you no longer use.

Your legal position: cancellation and refunds

Under the CPA 1999, if you cancel within 14 days of your first paid charge, you are entitled to a full refund minus any service fees actually incurred. Quizizz should process your refund within 30 days of your cancellation request. If they refuse or delay, you can lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP), Malaysia's consumer protection authority.

If you cancel after 14 days, the CPA does not guarantee a refund; however, you have the right to cancel the recurring subscription immediately to stop future charges. Quizizz's terms should specify whether any pro-rata refund applies to unused days in your current billing cycle. Always request written confirmation of your cancellation from Quizizz, and save all emails and screenshots as proof for potential disputes.

Methods to cancel Quizizz

You can cancel your Quizizz subscription through your account dashboard, by contacting support, or (in limited cases) via your payment provider. The most reliable method is the self-service cancellation through your account, which takes less than five minutes and gives you immediate confirmation.

Self-service cancellation through your account

Log into your Quizizz account via any web browser, navigate to your account settings, find the billing or subscription section, and select "Cancel Plan". This method gives you a timestamp and confirmation screen that proves you requested cancellation on a specific date, which is crucial if a dispute arises later.

Email support if self-service fails

If you cannot access your account, see no cancellation button, or the dashboard shows a technical error, contact Quizizz support at [email protected]. Provide your full name, email address, account creation date, and current plan tier. Request a cancellation confirmation email in return, and specify the exact date you want the cancellation to take effect (usually the end of your current billing cycle).

Credit card chargeback as a final escalation

If Quizizz ignores your cancellation request or continues billing after you have cancelled, contact your credit card issuer and initiate a dispute (called a "chargeback"). Your bank will require proof that you requested cancellation (emails, screenshots, account logs) and that Quizizz proceeded to charge you anyway. This is your fallback option and typically succeeds if you have clear documentation.

Step-by-step: cancel Quizizz through your account

Follow these exact steps to cancel your subscription and stop charges before they recur. This method works on desktop and mobile browsers.

1. Open Quizizz in your web browser and log in with your email and password
   • Go to www.quizizz.com
   • Click "Log in" in the top right corner
   • Enter your registered email and password
   • Click "Sign in"
2. Navigate to account settings
   • Look for a user icon or menu in the top right of the page (usually your initials or profile photo)
   • Click that icon and select "Settings" or "Account Settings"
   • If no icon appears, check the left sidebar for a settings option (gear icon)
3. Find the billing or subscription section
   • Scroll down the settings page until you see a "Billing", "Subscription", or "Plan" section
   • You may see your current plan name (Standard, Professional, or Enterprise) and next billing date
4. Click "Cancel Plan"
   • Locate the "Cancel Plan" or "Cancel Subscription" button in the billing section
   • Click it once and wait for the page to respond
   • Do not close the browser or refresh the page
5. Complete the confirmation screen
   • Quizizz may ask you to confirm your cancellation or select a reason (optional)
   • Read the final confirmation message carefully
   • Click "Confirm Cancel" or "Yes, cancel my plan" to finish
6. Save proof of cancellation
   • Screenshot the final confirmation page showing your plan has been cancelled
   • Check your registered email for a cancellation confirmation email within 10 minutes
   • Save that email or forward it to yourself

What happens after you cancel

Cancelling your Quizizz subscription does not delete your account or your saved quizzes immediately. Instead, your account enters a "paused" state where you retain read-only access to your quiz library, but you cannot edit, create, or use advanced features until you resubscribe.

Your current billing cycle continues until the end of your existing billing period (for example, if you cancel on 15 March and your cycle runs monthly, you keep access until 15 April). After that date, your account downgrades to the free Starter tier, and you lose access to professional features.

What you keep and what you lose

You keep all your saved quizzes, class records, and student responses indefinitely. You can view and download this data even after your subscription expires. However, you lose the ability to edit those quizzes, create new ones with premium features, generate reports with detailed analytics, and manage multi-user team accounts.

If you need to export your quiz content before losing access, download it immediately after cancellation while you still have temporary read-only access. Most quiz data can be exported as CSV files or PDFs from the quiz library.

Will you be charged again after cancellation?

No. Once your cancellation is processed and confirmed by email, Quizizz will not charge your payment method again. Your subscription is effectively dormant, and future charges will not occur unless you manually resubscribe to a paid plan.

Nevertheless, monitor your bank statement for 30 days after cancellation to confirm no erroneous charge appears. If an unexpected charge occurs, contact your bank immediately and provide proof of your cancellation request (the screenshot and confirmation email from step 6 above).

Refunds and your right to money back

Your refund eligibility under Malaysian consumer law depends on how long ago you made your first paid payment.

How to request a refund if eligible

If you fall within the 14-day refund window, send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Refund Request - [Your Account Email]". Include the following information:

• Your full name and registered email address
• The date you were first charged
• The amount charged in RM
• A statement that you are requesting a refund under your statutory consumer rights
• Screenshots of your initial charge and cancellation confirmation

Quizizz should respond within 7 working days with a refund decision. If they approve the refund, they will process it to your original payment method within 30 days. If they deny the refund and you believe it is unlawful, lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) at www.kpdnhep.gov.my.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling

Do not worry if you have already made one of these mistakes; they are all reversible with quick action and clear communication. The key is to catch the error before your next billing cycle.

Mistake 1: cancelling without saving proof

Many users click "Cancel Plan", see a confirmation message, then forget to screenshot or email themselves proof. Later, when Quizizz does charge again, they have no timestamp to prove they cancelled.

Always take a screenshot of the final cancellation confirmation screen and save the cancellation email. Store these in a folder with the subject "Quizizz Cancellation Proof" on your computer or cloud storage. This takes 30 seconds and protects you in any dispute.

Mistake 2: confusing cancellation with account deletion

Cancelling your subscription does not delete your account. Your quizzes, class data, and account remain active in read-only mode. If you want to delete your account entirely (which also removes all data permanently), you must request that separately in a follow-up email to [email protected] with the subject "Account Deletion Request".

Mistake 3: cancelling but not checking for refund eligibility

If you upgraded to a paid plan within the last 14 days and did not use it, you are likely entitled to a full refund under the CPA. Do not assume the refund is automatic; contact Quizizz and explicitly request it. Mention that you are exercising your statutory consumer rights under Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999.

Mistake 4: missing your next billing date

Cancel before your next billing date. If you wait until after the next charge goes through, you will be out of pocket and must request a refund within the 30-day window. Check your billing date now (in your account settings) and cancel at least 3 days before that date to ensure the cancellation processes in time.

Traps and hidden charges to watch for

Quizizz does not hide charges in its standard terms, but several design choices can catch users off guard.

The free trial to paid conversion

Your 14-day free trial automatically converts to a paid subscription on day 15 unless you cancel before that date. Quizizz sends a reminder email near the end of the trial, but many users miss it or do not read it. Set a calendar reminder for day 13 of your trial as a backup.

The pro-rata charge

If you cancel mid-cycle (for example, on day 10 of a 30-day billing cycle), some paid tiers pro-rate the charge and credit your account with unused days. Check Quizizz's support documentation to understand whether this applies to your plan. If unsure, ask support to clarify in writing before you cancel.

The data retention clause

After you cancel, Quizizz retains your quiz data indefinitely but restricts your access. You can still view and export your quizzes, but you cannot edit them without paying again. If you need your quiz data after cancellation, export it to CSV or PDF before your access expires.
