Frequently asked questions
Cancel Blocksite: Step-By-Step Guide
How to cancel Blocksite and stop your subscription in new zealand
What is Blocksite
Blocksite is a distraction-blocking application and browser extension that helps you regain focus by restricting access to websites and apps you nominate for blocking. The service operates across Android, iOS, and desktop browsers, with both complimentary and premium subscription options available to New Zealand users. Whether you use it on your phone, tablet, or computer, Blocksite synchronises your blocking rules across devices on paid plans, giving you centralised control over your digital distractions.
How Blocksite works across platforms
You can install Blocksite as an Android app via Google Play, an iOS application via the Apple App Store, or as a browser extension on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. The service provides web-based account management through its dashboard, with payments processed via Stripe or PayPal depending on your subscription method and platform. Each installation method offers slightly different feature sets, so your experience may vary based on whether you block sites on mobile, desktop, or both.
Free versus paid subscription tiers
Blocksite provides a free tier with basic blocking functionality, allowing you to block individual websites with minimal customisation. Most users who cancel are subscribed to one of the premium plans, which unlock advanced controls, cross-device synchronisation, password protection, and granular scheduling options. Many users discover after initial sign-up that these premium features no longer align with their needs or budget, making cancellation the logical choice.
Blocksite subscription costs in new zealand
Understanding your current plan and pricing structure helps you assess whether cancellation is the right decision or whether downgrading might better suit your requirements.
Current subscription pricing
| Plan | Price (NZD) | Billing cycle | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly basic tier | $7.49 | Monthly | Short-term trial users |
| Monthly standard tier | $16.49 | Monthly | Ongoing monthly commitment |
| Annual entry-level | $19.49 | Yearly | Budget-conscious annual users |
| Annual mid-tier | $43.99 | Yearly | Standard annual coverage |
| Annual standard tier | $69.99 | Yearly | Full premium annual access |
Pricing varies slightly depending on whether you subscribed through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or directly via Blocksite's website. Your exact subscription cost will appear on your payment confirmation email or bank statement. Yafee recommends reviewing your recent receipts to confirm which plan you hold before you initiate cancellation.
Reasons to cancel Blocksite
Cancellation makes sense when a subscription no longer delivers value relative to its cost or when your needs have shifted.
Common reasons users cancel
Many New Zealand users cancel Blocksite because they discover that built-in device features-such as Screen Time on iOS or Digital Wellbeing on Android-provide comparable blocking functionality at no additional expense. Others cancel after recognising that advanced customisation options no longer justify the monthly or annual fee. Some users simply notice a recurring charge on their bank statement and decide to stop the payment immediately. In other cases, users switch to alternative distraction-management tools or find that their focus challenges have resolved naturally.
Alternative to cancellation: downgrade your plan
Before you cancel entirely, consider whether downgrading to Blocksite's free plan might serve your needs. This preserves your blocking rules and account data whilst eliminating all subscription charges. If you decide Blocksite is not the right tool for you at all, cancellation is straightforward. Yafee is here to guide you through every cancellation method, regardless of which platform or payment method you used to subscribe.
How to cancel Blocksite on android
If you subscribed to Blocksite through Google Play on your Android device, follow these steps to stop your recurring charges immediately.
Cancel your android subscription via google play
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions" from the dropdown menu.
- Select "Subscriptions" to display all your active subscription services.
- Scroll down to find Blocksite in the list.
- Tap on Blocksite to open your subscription details.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" to begin the cancellation process.
- Google Play will ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation.
- Select the option that best matches why you are cancelling.
- Confirm the cancellation by tapping "Cancel subscription" again.
- Google Play will display your cancellation confirmation immediately.
- Your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle; no further charges will apply after that date.
Keep the confirmation email or screenshot for your records. Your access to premium Blocksite features will terminate on your next billing date.
How to cancel Blocksite on iOS
If you subscribed to Blocksite through the Apple App Store, you must cancel via your Apple ID settings rather than within the Blocksite app itself.
Cancel your iOS subscription via apple app store
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Scroll up and tap your Apple ID at the very top of the screen.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- Find Blocksite in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap on Blocksite to open your subscription management screen.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Cancel Free Trial" depending on your plan status.
- Apple will display your cancellation confirmation immediately.
- Your premium features will remain active until the end of your current billing period.
- Confirm that the cancellation has been processed.
- Check your email for an Apple confirmation receipt.
- Return to Settings > Subscriptions to verify that Blocksite no longer appears in your active list.
Apple does not charge you again after your current billing cycle ends. Save your confirmation email for dispute resolution if needed.
How to cancel Blocksite via web and PayPal
If you subscribed directly through Blocksite's website or linked your PayPal account, you can cancel through the Blocksite dashboard or within PayPal's settings.
Cancel through blocksite's account dashboard
- Visit the Blocksite website and log in to your account.
- Navigate to your account settings or billing section.
- Look for a "Manage Subscription" or "Subscription Settings" link.
- Select your active subscription plan.
- Review your current billing information and renewal date.
- Click "Cancel Subscription" or "Stop Billing" button.
- Blocksite will ask for your reason for cancellation.
- Complete the feedback form (optional).
- Confirm your cancellation request.
- You will receive an instant on-screen confirmation.
- A cancellation email will arrive in your inbox within minutes.
Cancel through PayPal
- Log in to your PayPal account at paypal.com.
- Navigate to your account settings.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- You will see a list of all active subscription payments.
- Find Blocksite in the list and click "Cancel" next to it.
- PayPal will display a confirmation screen.
- Confirm the cancellation by clicking "Cancel Subscription" again.
- PayPal will remove Blocksite as a recurring payment.
- You will receive a confirmation email immediately.
Yafee recommends cancelling through PayPal if you no longer wish to grant Blocksite payment authorisation, as this prevents the app from requesting future charges even if you reinstall it.
What happens after you cancel Blocksite
Understanding the timeline and account status after cancellation prevents confusion and ensures you know when your access will end.
Your access rights post-cancellation
After you cancel, Blocksite will remain fully functional until the end of your current billing cycle. If you are mid-cycle through a monthly plan, you retain premium access for the remainder of that month. If you are on an annual plan, your access continues until your next anniversary renewal date. After that date passes, your account reverts to the free tier automatically; Blocksite will not charge you again, and you will lose access to premium features such as cross-device synchronisation and advanced scheduling.
Retrieving your data before access ends
Before your premium access expires, export or note any important block lists or custom rules you may need for future reference. Blocksite does not delete your account upon cancellation, so you can log back in and access the free version at any time. However, any premium-exclusive settings will not transfer to the free tier, so document anything essential.
Your consumer rights and cancellation safeguards in new zealand
The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (CGA) protects you when you cancel digital subscriptions, and Yafee ensures you understand your legal position clearly.
Your legal position under new zealand law
Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you have the right to cancel a subscription within a reasonable timeframe if the service does not perform as advertised or is unfit for purpose. For digital products and services, the "reasonable timeframe" is typically 12 months from the date of purchase. If Blocksite fails to meet its advertised blocking capabilities or if the app crashes repeatedly on your device, you may be entitled to a refund, repair, or replacement under the CGA. Furthermore, the Fair Trading Act 1986 protects you against misleading subscription terms or hidden renewal charges.
Right to cancel without penalty
You have the absolute right to cancel your Blocksite subscription without incurring penalty fees or early termination charges. New Zealand consumer law prohibits vendors from charging you to exit a subscription contract. If Blocksite has charged you a cancellation fee, this breach triggers your right to lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission, New Zealand's principal consumer protection authority. Yafee recommends documenting all evidence of unauthorised charges.
Escalation with the commerce commission
If Blocksite refuses to process your cancellation request, fails to honour your cancellation within 5 business days, or continues charging you after you have cancelled, you may escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission. You can file a complaint via their website or contact them by phone. The Commerce Commission investigates unfair trading practices and has authority to compel refunds and impose penalties on non-compliant vendors.
Refunds after cancelling Blocksite
Whether you receive a refund depends on your cancellation timing and the reason for your request.
Refunds for mid-cycle cancellations
If you cancel mid-billing cycle, most payment processors and Blocksite's terms do not automatically refund your prepaid amount. For example, if you paid NZD $69.99 for an annual plan and cancel after 3 months, you will not receive a refund for the remaining 9 months unless Blocksite breached its service standards. However, if you cancel within 14 days of your initial purchase and have not yet used significant functionality, you have stronger grounds to request a full refund under New Zealand's consumer cooling-off principles. Yafee advises contacting Blocksite's support team immediately with proof of your purchase date if you fall within this window.
Refunds for service failure
If Blocksite failed to deliver the advertised blocking functionality, crashed repeatedly on your device, or deceived you about features included in your plan, the Consumer Guarantees Act entitles you to a refund. Gather screenshots, error logs, and timestamps documenting the service failure, then contact Blocksite support with this evidence. If Blocksite refuses, escalate to the Commerce Commission with your documentation.
Chargebacks as a last resort
If Blocksite continues to charge you after you have cancelled and support has not responded, contact your bank or payment provider and dispute the charge. Your bank can initiate a chargeback-a reversal of the unauthorised payment. Provide your bank with evidence of your cancellation request and screenshots of the unwanted charges. This process typically resolves within 10 to 15 business days.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few preventable errors can leave you confused or charged unexpectedly.
Not confirming cancellation immediately
After you click "cancel," take a screenshot of the confirmation page and save the confirmation email as soon as it arrives. Do not assume cancellation has succeeded based on the button alone. Your records protect you if disputes arise later. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers resolve billing conflicts simply by providing clear evidence of their cancellation request.
Cancelling through the wrong channel
If you subscribed via Google Play, you must cancel via Google Play-cancelling through Blocksite's website will not stop Google from charging you. Conversely, if you subscribed directly on Blocksite's website, cancelling through your app will not work. Match your cancellation method to your original subscription method to avoid this common pitfall.
Failing to verify the cancellation in your account
After cancelling, log back into your account or subscription manager (Google Play, App Store, PayPal, or Blocksite dashboard) and confirm that Blocksite no longer appears in your active subscriptions. Some users cancel but fail to verify, then months later discover they were still being charged. A 30-second verification step prevents this costly oversight.
Ignoring final invoices
Review your bank statement or email for one final invoice after your cancellation date. This is typically your last charge, and it should coincide with your billing cycle end date. If you receive a charge weeks after cancellation, contact support immediately.
Steps to take after you have cancelled Blocksite
Once your cancellation is confirmed, a few follow-up actions ensure you remain protected and organised.
Document your cancellation for future reference
- Save your cancellation confirmation email and screenshots.
- Store these in a dedicated folder on your computer or cloud storage.
- Include the date, time, and cancellation reference number if provided.
- Record the date when your access will terminate.
- Note this in your personal calendar so you are not surprised when premium features disappear.
Monitor your next billing statement
- Check your bank account and email one week after your cancellation date.
- Verify that no new Blocksite charge has appeared.
- If a charge does appear, contact Blocksite support with your cancellation confirmation as evidence.
- Request an immediate refund and reversal of the charge.
- If support does not respond within 5 business days, escalate to the Commerce Commission or your bank.
Remove Blocksite from your devices if desired
- Uninstall the Blocksite app or browser extension from each device where you no longer wish to use it.
- On Android: long-press the Blocksite icon and select "Uninstall."
- On iOS: press and hold the Blocksite icon, tap "Remove App," then "Delete App."
- In your browser: click the extension menu and select "Remove" or "Uninstall."
- Log out of your Blocksite account on shared devices to prevent others from accessing your settings.
- This is especially important if you used a household account.
