Cancel Doodly: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Doodly in new zealand: step-by-step guide and your refund rights
What Doodly is and why you might cancel
Doodly is a whiteboard animation platform that enables you to create engaging doodle-style videos using pre-built characters, props, scenes and royalty-free music. Teachers, trainers, marketers and small business owners rely on Doodly to produce explainer videos, training materials and presentations without requiring advanced animation expertise.
The service operates on both one-time purchases and monthly or annual subscription models, and integrates with related video tools including Voomly, Toonly, Talkia, People Builder and Pyks. If you subscribed but find yourself not using Doodly regularly, or if the ongoing cost no longer aligns with your budget, you can cancel at any time. Yafee has guided hundreds of New Zealand users through cancellation, refund claims and subscription disputes.
Common reasons for cancellation
You may decide to cancel Doodly for several legitimate reasons. You might have completed a specific project and no longer need ongoing access. You may have discovered a competitor platform that better suits your workflow. Rising subscription costs, unused features, or a shift in your creative priorities are all valid triggers for cancellation.
Whatever your reason, cancelling should be easy, transparent and free from hidden charges. Understanding your options and your legal entitlements upfront helps you avoid unwanted debits and claim any refund you are entitled to under New Zealand consumer law.
Your consumer rights in new zealand
When you cancel Doodly in New Zealand, you are protected by the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986. These laws guarantee you the right to cancel subscription services within a cooling-off period, receive clear information about charges, and claim refunds if the service fails to meet reasonable standards.
Doodly operates as a foreign digital service provider, but New Zealand consumer law still applies to transactions with New Zealand residents. If Doodly refuses to honour a lawful cancellation request or withholds a refund you are legally entitled to claim, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission or seek advice from Consumer NZ. Yafee recommends documenting all communications, including confirmation emails and screenshots of your account settings, to support any future dispute.
Doodly pricing in new zealand dollars
Below are the standard Doodly plans listed in USD, converted at typical exchange rates to show approximate NZD costs. Your final charge in NZD will depend on your payment method, card issuer conversion rates and any local payment platform fees.
| Plan | USD price | Approx NZD | Billing cycle | Key features | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | US$49.00 | ~NZD$85 | Monthly | 1,164 characters; 1,620 props; 150 music tracks; 20 templates; unlimited videos; multi-device access | Casual creators |
| Standard annual | US$490.00 | ~NZD$850 | Annually | Same as monthly (16% discount if paid upfront) | Budget-conscious regular users |
| Enterprise | US$79.00 | ~NZD$137 | Monthly | 3,959 characters; 3,341 props; 250 music tracks; 40 templates; priority support | Professional video teams |
| Enterprise annual | US$790.00 | ~NZD$1,370 | Annually | Same as monthly Enterprise (16% discount if paid upfront) | High-volume studios |
Exchange rates fluctuate daily, so the NZD equivalent shown above is approximate. When you subscribe or cancel, always verify the exact charge on your bank statement and credit card bill. Yafee recommends checking your billing history before initiating cancellation to ensure you know exactly what you have been charged and when your next billing date falls due.
How to cancel your Doodly subscription
Doodly cancellation involves logging into your account, navigating to account settings, and submitting a cancellation request. The process typically takes 5 to 10 minutes, and Doodly should issue a confirmation email within 24 hours.
Step 1: log into your Doodly account
Open your web browser and go to the Doodly login page. Enter the email address and password you used when you registered. If you have forgotten your password, click the "Forgot Password" link and follow the reset instructions sent to your email.
Step 2: navigate to your account settings
Once you are logged in, look for the account menu, typically located in the top right corner of the dashboard. Click on "Account Settings", "Profile" or "My Account" (the exact label depends on the current Doodly interface). From there, locate the "Billing", "Subscription" or "Payment" tab.
Step 3: find the cancellation or subscription management option
Within the billing section, you should see a button or link labelled "Cancel Subscription", "Manage Subscription" or "Change Plan". Click this option. Doodly may display a form asking you to select a reason for cancellation; this is optional but helps Doodly improve its service.
Step 4: confirm your cancellation request
Doodly will ask you to confirm your cancellation. Read any warnings or final-offer text carefully. Some platforms offer a temporary discount or pause option as an alternative; assess whether this aligns with your needs. Once you are certain you wish to cancel, click "Confirm Cancellation" or "Cancel Subscription".
Step 5: save your confirmation email
Doodly will send a confirmation email to the address associated with your account. This email is your proof of cancellation. Save it to a secure folder and forward a copy to yourself as a backup. The confirmation should include a cancellation date, your refund eligibility (if applicable) and details of your next billing date (which should now be removed).
Step 6: verify the cancellation in your bank account
Monitor your bank account and credit card statements for 1 to 3 billing cycles. Confirm that no further charges appear after your cancellation date. If Doodly attempts to charge you after cancellation, contact your bank immediately and dispute the transaction under consumer protection rules.
Your legal position on cancellation and refunds
Your right to cancel and claim a refund is grounded in New Zealand consumer law. The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986 protect you when cancelling a digital subscription service.
Cooling-off period and your right to cancel within 14 days
Under New Zealand consumer law, you have the right to cancel a subscription service within 14 days of purchase without providing a reason (the cooling-off period). This applies even if you have used Doodly during this window. If you cancel within 14 days, Doodly must refund the full amount you paid, minus any reasonable costs incurred in providing the service (which are typically negligible for digital goods).
Your legal position is straightforward: inform Doodly of your cancellation in writing, cite your cooling-off right under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, and request a full or pro-rata refund. Yafee advises sending this request by email so you have a written record.
Cancellation after 14 days
After the initial 14-day cooling-off period, your right to cancel depends on the terms Doodly outlined when you signed up. If Doodly's terms state you can cancel at any time with notice (most do), you may cancel with effect from your next billing date. You are not entitled to a refund for the current billing period if you cancel mid-cycle, because Doodly has already provided access to the service for that period.
However, if Doodly's service is faulty, does not perform as described, or breaches the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you may be entitled to a refund or compensation regardless of the time elapsed. Yafee recommends checking the specific terms in your subscription agreement.
Disputing a charge and escalation routes
If Doodly refuses to honour your cancellation request or withholds a refund you believe you are entitled to claim, escalate as follows:
- Contact Doodly's customer support in writing (email) and state the specific consumer law provision you rely on. Request a response within 10 working days.
- If Doodly does not respond or refuses your claim, contact your bank or credit card issuer and dispute the charge under the chargeback process. Provide your cancellation confirmation email and any correspondence with Doodly.
- File a complaint with the Commerce Commission (comcom.govt.nz) if you believe Doodly has breached the Fair Trading Act 1986 (for example, by making misleading statements about charges or cancellation rights).
- Seek free advice from Consumer NZ (consumer.org.nz) or a community law centre in your region if you need further guidance on your rights.
What happens after you cancel
Once you cancel, your Doodly account enters a grace period. Cancellation is rarely immediate; instead, your access ends on your next scheduled billing date. During this grace period, you can typically still log in and download any videos, projects or assets you created.
Access and download your work before access ends
Log back into Doodly and locate the "Export" or "Download" function within the video editor. Export your completed videos in a standard format (typically MP4). Save any custom scripts, storyboards or project notes to your computer. You have until the end of your current billing period to retrieve these files; after that date, Doodly may delete your account and projects.
Check your refund status
If you cancelled within 14 days or qualify for a pro-rata refund (for example, if you were charged for a partial month), check your bank account 5 to 10 working days after your cancellation date. Refunds from international service providers can take longer than domestic transfers due to currency conversion and banking processing times.
Monitor for unwanted charges
For the next 3 months, review your bank statements and credit card bills carefully. Confirm that Doodly has not continued to bill you after cancellation. If a charge appears, contact your bank immediately and dispute it under consumer protection rules. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers recover unauthorised charges by disputing transactions promptly.
Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Cancellation is straightforward when you follow the correct steps, but a few pitfalls can delay your refund or result in unexpected charges. Awareness of these traps will protect your wallet and your legal position.
Forgetting to cancel by your next billing date
If you intend to cancel, submit your cancellation request well before your next billing date. Doodly's system may take 24 to 48 hours to process your cancellation; if you delay, you risk being charged for another billing cycle. Set a phone reminder or calendar alert 3 days before your next payment is due.
Cancelling via customer support chat instead of in-app settings
Some users cancel by emailing or chatting with Doodly's support team rather than using the self-service cancellation button in account settings. While this may work, the in-app method generates an immediate confirmation email, which serves as proof of cancellation. Always use the self-service method first, then save the confirmation email. If the self-service button is missing or faulty, then contact support.
Failing to save your cancellation confirmation
If Doodly charges you after cancellation, you will need evidence that you submitted a valid cancellation request. Without a confirmation email or screenshot, Doodly may dispute your claim. Always save and back up the cancellation confirmation email before closing your account.
Confusing pause with cancellation
Some subscription platforms offer the option to "pause" a subscription (typically for 1 to 3 months) instead of cancelling outright. If you pause your subscription, Doodly will resume billing you at the end of the pause period unless you cancel again. If you do not intend to use Doodly in the future, select full cancellation, not a pause.
Cancelling through a third-party app or marketplace
If you originally purchased Doodly through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store or another marketplace, you must cancel through that same platform, not through Doodly's website. Cancelling Doodly's website account will not stop the app subscription. Navigate to your app store account settings, find Doodly under "Subscriptions" or "Purchases", and cancel there.
Refund timelines and payment method considerations
The time it takes to receive a refund from Doodly depends on your payment method, your bank's processing speed and whether the refund qualifies under consumer law.
Typical refund timelines
| Refund scenario | Processing time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cancellation within 14 days (full refund) | 5-10 working days | Credit card and bank refunds vary; international transfers may take longer |
| Cancellation after 14 days (pro-rata refund if eligible) | 5-10 working days | Only if Doodly's terms permit; not all cancellations qualify |
| Refund via credit card chargeback (disputed charge) | 10-30 working days | Bank processes dispute; Doodly has opportunity to respond |
| Refund after Commerce Commission complaint | 8-12 weeks | Last resort; expect significant wait time |
Payment method and refund route
If you paid Doodly by credit or debit card, the refund will return to your card account. If you paid via PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay, the refund routes back through that service. Check the refund status within your original payment platform first (your bank's app, PayPal account, etc.) before assuming the money is lost.
Comparing Doodly with alternative animation platforms
If you are considering cancelling Doodly because it does not meet your needs, you may want to evaluate alternative whiteboard animation and video creation tools. The table below compares Doodly with three widely used competitors.
| Platform | Monthly cost (approx NZD) | Key strength | Best for | Cancel policy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Doodly | ~NZD$85-137 | Extensive character and prop library | Whiteboard animation specialists | Anytime; 14-day refund within cooling-off |
| Animaker | ~NZD$95-180 | Diverse animation styles (not just doodles) | Teams seeking varied animation types | Anytime; cancellation varies by plan |
| Moovly | ~NZD$70-130 | Affordable; good for beginners | Budget-conscious solo creators | Anytime; often offers pro-rata refunds |
| Powtoon | ~NZD$120-280 | Professional templates; brand-building features | Corporate marketing teams | Anytime; 14-day free trial; cancel anytime |
If you cancel Doodly and move to a competitor, Yafee advises testing the new platform's free trial (if available) before committing to a subscription. This reduces the risk of paying for a service that does not suit your workflow.
Doodly contact details and cancellation address
Doodly does not publish a dedicated New Zealand postal address. Instead, Doodly operates as a US-based company and manages cancellations through its online account dashboard. Correspondence is typically handled via email or through the website's contact form.
How to contact Doodly for cancellation support
If you require additional assistance or wish to cancel by email, use the following contact route:
- Visit the Doodly support page (typically located at a URL like doodly.com/support or doodly.com/contact).
- Complete the contact form, specify "Subscription Cancellation" in the subject line and include your account email address.
- Describe your cancellation request clearly and request a confirmation email within 24 hours.
- Retain a copy of your email and any response from Doodly for your records.
For the fastest resolution, use the self-service cancellation method within your account settings (as described in the "How to cancel your Doodly subscription" section above). Email contact is slower but provides a written record if you later need to escalate a refund dispute.

- Commerce Commission: comcom.govt.nz or telephone 0800 943 600. File a complaint if you believe Doodly has breached the Fair Trading Act 1986.
