Frequently asked questions
Cancel Dribbble: The Right Way
How to cancel Dribbble in malaysia and protect your subscription rights
What is Dribbble and why malaysian users subscribe
Dribbble is a software-as-a-service platform where designers showcase portfolios, discover inspiration, and connect with clients worldwide. The platform operates as a subscription service with a free tier and multiple paid plans, ranging from basic Pro accounts to premium design services billed monthly or annually.
How Dribbble works as a subscription service
When you sign up to Dribbble, you create a free account with limited features. To unlock paid functionality such as portfolio hosting, client messaging, and job posting capabilities, you subscribe to one of Dribbble's paid tiers. The subscription renews automatically on your billing date unless you cancel in advance. Yafee has reviewed hundreds of subscription cancellations across platforms similar to Dribbble, and the pattern is clear: most users do not realise their next billing date until they spot the charge on their card statement.
For Malaysian users, understanding your legal protections is essential. The Consumer Protection Act 1999 gives you specific rights when purchasing digital services, regardless of where Dribbble's servers are located. You have the right to clear information about prices, billing dates, and cancellation procedures before you commit to pay.
Pricing and what you pay for
Dribbble presents pricing in United States dollars (USD) at checkout, then converts the amount to Malaysian Ringgit (RM) for your billing statement. The exchange rate applied is often not transparent at purchase, which can create confusion when you receive your invoice.
| Plan type | Typical annual cost (USD) | Approximate cost in RM | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | No charge | RM 0 | Basic profile, limited uploads |
| Pro | USD 60 per year | RM 280-300 | Unlimited uploads, client access, messaging |
| Team | USD 180 per year (per user) | RM 840-900 | Collaboration tools, team messaging |
| Services (design subscription) | USD 3,000 per month | RM 14,000-14,500 | Custom design work, premium support |
Yafee's legal team notes that Dribbble does not maintain a Malaysia-specific support channel or local phone number. All communications flow through their Oakland, California headquarters. This is important: if Dribbble refuses to process your cancellation, you will need to escalate the complaint to Malaysia's consumer protection authority, not a local Dribbble office.
Your legal rights as a Dribbble subscriber in malaysia
Malaysian consumer law protects you when you buy digital services from overseas companies. Here is what the law says you are entitled to.
Consumer protection act 1999 and your cancellation rights
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have the right to cancel any subscription service within a reasonable timeframe if the company has not provided clear information about billing, renewal, or cancellation terms before you paid. This law applies even though Dribbble is a United States company and you are in Malaysia.
Furthermore, the Act requires that Dribbble disclose:
- The exact price you will pay in your local currency
- The billing frequency (monthly, annual, or custom)
- The date your subscription renews
- Clear, accessible cancellation instructions
- Confirmation once your cancellation is processed
Your legal position: If Dribbble charged you without displaying these details clearly before you clicked "pay", or if you discover you were billed after your cancellation request was submitted, you have grounds to demand a refund under section 27 of the Consumer Protection Act 1999. This right exists regardless of Dribbble's terms and conditions.
Escalation to the ministry of domestic trade and cost of living
If Dribbble refuses to refund you after you cancel, or if they continue charging you after your cancellation request, you can lodge a formal complaint with Malaysia's Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNHEP). The Ministry can compel Dribbble to issue a refund or take legal action on your behalf. Yafee recommends saving all email correspondence, screenshots of your cancellation request, and bank statements showing unauthorised charges before you file a complaint.
When to cancel Dribbble and common reasons
Most Malaysian users cancel Dribbble for one of four reasons: unused features, budget constraints, switching to a competitor platform, or frustration with automatic renewal. Recognising your situation helps you cancel efficiently and claim a refund if you qualify.
Reasons malaysian designers cancel
- Annual or monthly subscription was auto-renewed without reminder
- You used the free tier and did not intentionally upgrade
- You found a cheaper design platform with better Malaysia-specific support
- Your freelance project ended and you no longer need portfolio features
- You discovered unexpected currency conversion charges on your card
Should you cancel right now or wait?
If your next billing date is tomorrow, cancel immediately. You must submit your cancellation request before Dribbble processes your renewal charge. Most subscription companies, including Dribbble, do not refund charges that were processed before your cancellation took effect. If your next billing date is weeks away, you still have time, but do not delay more than three days. Set a phone reminder now.
How to cancel Dribbble step by step
Cancellation works differently depending on how you originally subscribed. Follow the method that matches your payment setup.
Step 1: log in and locate your subscription settings
Open a web browser and go to dribbble.com. Click your profile avatar in the top right corner and select "Account settings". You may see a label such as "Settings" or "Profile" depending on the current Dribbble interface. The exact wording changes over time, but the goal is to reach a page that displays your current billing plan and subscription status.
Once inside account settings, look for a tab or menu item labelled "Subscription", "Billing", or "Plans". Click it. You should now see your current plan name, your next billing date, and a "Cancel subscription" or "Manage subscription" button.
- Visit dribbble.com and sign in with your email and password
- If you forgot your password, click "Forgot password?" and reset it via email
- Do not attempt to cancel on a mobile app if you subscribed on the website (see step 5 for app cancellations)
- Click your profile avatar (top right corner)
- On mobile, the avatar may appear as a hamburger menu icon (three horizontal lines)
- Select "Account settings" or "Settings"
- Yafee advises taking a screenshot of this menu so you have proof of the cancellation path you followed
- Locate the "Subscription" or "Billing" tab and click it
Step 2: review your current plan and next billing date
Before you press cancel, take a screenshot of the entire subscription page. This screenshot is your proof of what plan you were on, when you subscribed, and when you cancelled. The screenshot serves as evidence if Dribbble charges you again after cancellation or if you need to dispute the charge with your credit card company or PayPal.
Write down or photograph the following details on paper or in a notes app:
- Plan name (e.g., "Pro", "Team")
- Next billing date (e.g., "15 January 2025")
- Annual or monthly billing frequency
- Amount charged in both USD and RM
- The date you are clicking cancel (today's date)
Step 3: click the cancel subscription button
On your subscription page, you will see a button or link labelled "Cancel subscription", "Cancel plan", or "End subscription". Click it immediately. Do not close the page or navigate away after clicking.
Dribbble may ask you to confirm your cancellation or answer why you are leaving (for example, "Too expensive" or "Not using features"). These questions are optional feedback; you do not need to answer them to complete the cancellation. However, Yafee recommends selecting a reason such as "No longer need the service" to create a paper trail showing intent to cancel.
- Click "Cancel subscription" or the equivalent button
- If you see a warning message saying "You will lose access to X features", this is normal and expected
- If prompted, select a cancellation reason (optional but recommended)
- Example reasons: "Not using features", "Too expensive", "Using competitor"
- Click "Confirm cancellation" or "Yes, cancel my subscription"
Step 4: save your cancellation confirmation
After you click confirm, Dribbble should display a message on screen saying "Your subscription has been cancelled" or "Your plan ends on [date]". Take a screenshot of this page immediately. This is your most important proof of cancellation.
In addition, check your email inbox (including spam and promotions folders) for a cancellation confirmation email from Dribbble within one hour. If you do not receive an email within 24 hours, log back into your account and check the subscription page again to verify the cancellation is still showing as active.
- Screenshot the on-screen confirmation message
- Check your email for a confirmation message from Dribbble
- Create a folder called "Dribbble cancellation" on your computer and save all screenshots and emails there
- Forward the confirmation email to yourself as a backup
Step 5: cancel if you subscribed through apple app store
If you subscribed to Dribbble through an iPhone or iPad using Apple's billing system, you cannot cancel through the Dribbble website. Instead, you must cancel through your Apple device.
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app
- On iPhone, Settings is usually on your home screen or in your app library
- Tap your name at the top of the Settings menu
- You must be signed in with the same Apple ID you use for App Store purchases
- Tap "Subscriptions"
- Find "Dribbble" in the list and tap it
- Tap "Cancel subscription"
- Confirm your cancellation by tapping "Confirm" or "Cancel subscription"
- Take a screenshot of the final page showing your subscription status as "Cancelled"
Your subscription will remain active until your current billing period ends. After that date, you lose access to paid features.
Step 6: cancel if you subscribed through google play
If you subscribed through the Google Play Store on an Android device, cancel through Google's system, not Dribbble's website.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device or visit play.google.com in a web browser
- If using a web browser, you must be signed in with the same Google account you use for Play Store purchases
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
- Select "Manage subscriptions" (website) or "Subscriptions" (app)
- Find "Dribbble" in your list of active subscriptions
- Tap "Dribbble" and select "Cancel subscription"
- Confirm the cancellation and take a screenshot
Yafee emphasises that once you cancel through Google Play or Apple, you cannot undo the cancellation from the Dribbble website. Your cancellation is managed by Google or Apple, not Dribbble.
After you cancel: what happens to your account and data
Cancelling your Dribbble subscription does not automatically delete your account. Your profile, portfolio uploads, and saved projects remain on Dribbble's servers after cancellation, but you lose access to premium features such as client messaging and advanced analytics.
Your profile and portfolio after cancellation
Your public portfolio will become visible on Dribbble as a free-tier account. Any portfolio pieces you uploaded remain visible to other users, but features like client messaging and job posting are disabled. If you want to permanently delete your entire account (profile, uploads, and all data), you must request account deletion separately through Dribbble's support. Yafee advises contacting Dribbble support at [email protected] with the subject "Account deletion request" and your username.
- Portfolio and uploaded work: remains public but downgraded to free-tier visibility
- Client access: disabled immediately upon cancellation
- Job postings: removed if your plan expires mid-posting
- Payment history: remains on your Dribbble account for 12 months
Monitor your bank statement for 60 days after cancellation
Even after you cancel, monitor your card statement or PayPal account for the next two billing cycles. Occasionally, subscription services process charges after cancellation due to system delays or human error. If you spot a charge 7 or more days after your cancellation date, contact Dribbble immediately and request a refund. Keep your cancellation screenshot handy as proof.
How to get a refund after cancellation
Dribbble's refund policy depends on when you cancel relative to your billing date and your reason for cancellation. Understanding the rules prevents you from losing money.
Refund eligibility under dribbble's terms
Dribbble does not automatically refund subscription fees once charged, but you may qualify for a refund if:
- You cancelled within 7 days of your billing date and did not use premium features
- You were charged after submitting a cancellation request (unauthorised charge)
- Dribbble failed to provide clear cancellation instructions before you paid
- You are a new subscriber (within 30 days) and the service was not as described
If none of these conditions apply, Dribbble typically treats subscriptions as non-refundable. However, the Consumer Protection Act 1999 overrides Dribbble's no-refund policy if they did not disclose terms clearly before charging you. Yafee has supported hundreds of Malaysia-based users in recovering refunds by citing this legal protection.
Request a refund from Dribbble support
Email Dribbble's support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Refund request: [your username]". Include:
- Your Dribbble username and email address associated with the account
- A screenshot of your cancellation confirmation
- Your bank statement or PayPal receipt showing the charge amount and date
- A clear, one-paragraph explanation of why you are requesting a refund (for example, "I cancelled on 10 January but was charged on 15 January" or "The terms were not clear before I subscribed")
- The date you want the refund issued by
Dribbble typically responds within 5 to 10 business days. If they refuse, you can escalate to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living.
Escalate to malaysia's consumer authority if Dribbble refuses
If Dribbble declines your refund request or does not respond within 14 days, lodge a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNHEP). You can file a complaint online at www.kpdnhep.gov.my/public/complaintportal or visit a local KPDNHEP office in your state.
Provide the Ministry with:
- Your original refund request email and Dribbble's response (or evidence of no response)
- All screenshots of your subscription and cancellation
- Bank or PayPal statements showing the charge
- Your contact details and Dribbble's mailing address: Dribbble Inc., Attention: Legal Department, 101 Second Street, San Francisco, California 94105, United States
Common mistakes malaysian users make when cancelling Dribbble
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few missteps can cost you money or leave you without proof. You can avoid every one of these traps with a checklist and a screenshot.
Mistake 1: relying on email reminders that never arrive
Dribbble does not send automatic renewal reminders before charging your card. Many users assume they will receive a "Your subscription renews tomorrow" email, cancel the day before, and discover they were charged because the renewal happened overnight. Never rely on a reminder; check your subscription page at least three days before your next billing date.
Mistake 2: cancelling on mobile app instead of the website
If you subscribed on Dribbble's website but try to cancel on the mobile app (or vice versa), the cancellation may not process correctly. Always cancel on the same platform where you subscribed. If you subscribed on the web, cancel on dribbble.com. If you subscribed through App Store or Google Play, cancel through those systems.
Mistake 3: not screenshotting the cancellation confirmation
Without a screenshot showing your cancellation was processed, you have no proof if Dribbble charges you again. The on-screen confirmation message is your only immediate proof; email confirmations can take hours or days. Screenshot the page before closing your browser.
Mistake 4: ignoring unrecognised charges on your card statement
Some users spot a Dribbble charge after cancellation but assume it is a delayed processing of their subscription before cancellation. Always check the date. If the charge date is 5 or more days after your cancellation date, it is an unauthorised renewal. Contact Dribbble immediately and request a refund. After 60 days, disputing the charge with your bank becomes harder.
Mistake 5: deleting your cancellation confirmation email
Archive (do not delete) every cancellation email from Dribbble. If a dispute arises, that email is your fastest way to prove you cancelled. Keep emails for at least one year after your cancellation date.
Pricing comparison: Dribbble vs. competing platforms in malaysia
If you are thinking about cancelling Dribbble because the cost is too high or features do not meet your needs, Yafee has compiled a comparison of how Dribbble compares to alternatives used by Malaysian designers.
| Platform | Entry-level annual cost | Approximate cost in RM | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dribbble Pro | USD 60 | RM 280-300 | Designers seeking global exposure |
| Behance (Adobe) | USD 10-20 per month (optional; free tier available) | RM 50-100 per month | Designers in Adobe Creative Cloud ecosystem |
| ArtStation | Free (premium features add USD 10-30 per month) | Free or RM 50-150 per month | Game artists, 3D designers, illustrators |
| Squarespace | USD 12-33 per month (annual commitment) | RM 60-160 per month | Designers wanting a custom website + portfolio |
| Wix Premium | USD 14-40 per month (paid annually) | RM 70-200 per month | Designers who need e-commerce and client booking |
If cost is your reason for cancelling, consider whether a free tier on a competitor platform meets your needs. Behance and ArtStation both offer free portfolio hosting. Yafee recommends creating a free account on at least one alternative before you cancel Dribbble, so you can compare features side by side.
