Frequently asked questions
Cancel Mentimeter: The Right Way
How to cancel Mentimeter in new zealand and reclaim your subscription fees
What is Mentimeter and why you might want to cancel
Mentimeter is a cloud-hosted presentation platform that enables you to build interactive polls, quizzes, word clouds and live question-and-answer sessions for your audience. Teachers, corporate teams and event organisers rely on it to gather real-time feedback and elevate audience engagement during in-person events, remote webinars and hybrid sessions. The tool integrates with most web browsers and sits alongside your existing presentation software without friction.
Your circumstances may shift. Your event or project may have concluded, your team may no longer require premium features, or you may prefer a different platform altogether. Whatever your reason, Yafee has prepared this guide to help you cancel Mentimeter efficiently and without delay. Whether you subscribed directly via the Mentimeter website or through your mobile app store, we walk you through each step with clarity.
Common reasons to cancel your Mentimeter subscription
Your event or project cycle has finished and you no longer need ongoing premium access. Your team may gravitate toward a simpler tool with fewer features. Budget pressures might require you to cut discretionary software costs. You may have discovered a competitor offering superior value to New Zealand users. Cancelling early returns control of your subscription spend directly to you.
When to cancel versus when to delay
Cancel immediately if you know you will not use Mentimeter before your next renewal date. Waiting until the last moment risks oversight and an unexpected charge to your card. Conversely, if you think you may use it within the next 30 days, postpone cancellation until you are certain. Yafee recommends cancelling as soon as you have confirmed you will not need the service, so you sidestep paying for a month you will not use.
Mentimeter pricing and plans in new zealand
Mentimeter provides tiered subscription plans; however, New Zealand-specific pricing in NZD may not always display clearly on their website depending on your account settings and region.
Current plans and what each tier includes
| Plan | Monthly cost (approx. NZD) | Features included | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Limited presentations, basic polls and quizzes | Trialling the tool or occasional use |
| Basic | $12-18 | Unlimited presentations, advanced polls, word clouds, live Q&A | Small teams and educators |
| Pro | $25-35 | Everything in Basic plus custom branding, detailed analytics, priority support | Larger teams and frequent presenters |
| Premium | Contact sales | Custom functionality, dedicated account management, advanced reporting | Enterprise and large organisations |
Exact NZD pricing depends on currency conversion rates and your account location settings. Log into your Mentimeter account from New Zealand to confirm local pricing before you upgrade or downgrade.
How to cancel Mentimeter via your account dashboard
The quickest route to cancel Mentimeter is through your account dashboard on the main website, which grants you immediate control over all direct subscriptions.
Step one: sign in to your Mentimeter account
- Navigate to mentimeter.com and enter your email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot password" and reset it via the email link Mentimeter sends you.
- Confirm you are logged into the correct account if you manage multiple Mentimeter profiles.
Step two: access your billing or account settings
- Click your profile icon or name in the top right corner of the dashboard.
- A dropdown menu will appear with several options.
- Select "Account settings" or "Billing" (labelling may vary slightly by region).
- On some accounts, "Billing" appears directly in the main navigation menu.
Step three: locate your subscription or payment plan
- In the Account Settings or Billing section, find the section labelled "Subscription", "Plans", "Payment method" or similar.
- This section displays your current plan (Basic, Pro or Premium), renewal date and billing frequency.
- You may see a green or highlighted box showing your active subscription status.
Step four: select the cancel or downgrade option
- Next to your active subscription, locate a button labelled "Cancel", "Manage subscription", "Change plan" or "Downgrade".
- Click this button to open the cancellation flow.
- Mentimeter may prompt you to confirm your reason for cancellation via a dropdown or short survey. This is optional and does not affect your ability to cancel.
Step five: confirm your cancellation request
- Review the cancellation summary displayed on screen.
- Confirm the date your subscription will end (usually the end of your current billing cycle).
- Verify the email address associated with your account.
- Click "Confirm cancellation" or a similar button to finalise your request.
Step six: save your cancellation confirmation
- Mentimeter will display a confirmation message on screen and send a confirmation email to your registered email address.
- Screenshot or print the on-screen confirmation for your records.
- Check your email inbox (including spam or promotions folders) for the cancellation confirmation email.
- Keep this email as proof of cancellation in case of future billing disputes.
Cancelling a Mentimeter subscription purchased through an app store

Your legal position under new zealand consumer law
Your right to cancel Mentimeter is grounded in the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (CGA), which protects all consumers acquiring goods or services in New Zealand. Mentimeter is classified as a service, and you hold statutory rights to fair dealing, transparency and, in certain circumstances, refund eligibility.
Consumer guarantees act protections and what they mean
Under the CGA, Mentimeter must supply its service with due care and skill, provide accurate information about what you are purchasing, and honour any express statements it makes about the service. If Mentimeter fails to meet these obligations-for example, if the service is not fit for purpose or was misrepresented-you may claim remedies including refund, replacement or compensation. The Commerce Commission enforces the CGA and investigates breaches on behalf of New Zealand consumers.
Your legal position is strengthened if you cancel within 12 months of purchase and the service has not met the standard a reasonable consumer would expect. Nevertheless, cooling-off rights under the CGA are more limited for digital services than physical goods; you cannot simply change your mind after purchase without grounds related to breach of statutory guarantees.
Refund eligibility under new zealand law
Mentimeter is obliged to refund unused or prepaid amounts if you cancel before the end of your billing period, provided no genuine contractual barrier prevents it. If you cancel on the 15th of a 30-day cycle, you should be eligible for a pro-rata refund covering the unused portion. However, if Mentimeter's terms of service state that monthly subscriptions are non-refundable, that clause must be fair and transparent; if it is not, the Commerce Commission may find it unfair and void it.
Yafee recommends requesting a refund in your cancellation request or follow-up email if you believe you are entitled to one. If Mentimeter refuses, escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission (www.comcom.govt.nz) or seek guidance from Citizens Advice Bureau.
What happens after you cancel Mentimeter
Your Mentimeter subscription ceases at the end of your current billing period, not immediately upon cancellation.
Access to your account and presentations post-cancellation
After your subscription expires, you retain read-only access to all presentations and data you created during your subscription period. You cannot edit, update or run new presentations unless you reactivate a paid plan. Your data remains stored in Mentimeter for a defined retention period (typically 30 days to 12 months, depending on Mentimeter's data retention policy). Export all presentations, results and analytics you wish to keep before your subscription ends.
Refund processing timeframe
If Mentimeter approves a refund, allow 5 to 10 business days for the funds to appear in your bank account or payment method. If you subscribed via an app store, the refund flows through Apple or Google, which may add an additional 3 to 5 working days. Contact Mentimeter's support team if a refund does not arrive within 14 days of cancellation.
Unsubscribe from marketing communications
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically remove you from Mentimeter's email marketing list. Log into your account settings and unsubscribe from promotional emails, or reply "Unsubscribe" to any marketing email Mentimeter sends. Yafee advises taking this step to avoid unwanted contact after you cancel.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Mentimeter
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few missteps can delay your exit or cost you money. Stay calm and follow these guardrails to sidestep unnecessary friction.
Mistake one: cancelling too late in your billing cycle
If your billing date is the 20th of the month and you cancel on the 19th, you will be charged for the entire next cycle. Cancel as soon as you know you will not renew, ideally at least seven days before your renewal date. Check your confirmation email for your exact renewal date so you do not miss the window.
Mistake two: forgetting to save your cancellation confirmation
Mentimeter displays a confirmation message and sends an email, but both can disappear from view. Screenshot the on-screen confirmation and keep the email in a dedicated folder. This evidence protects you if Mentimeter later claims you never cancelled and charges your card again.
Mistake three: cancelling through the wrong channel
If you subscribed via Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you must cancel through that store, not Mentimeter's website. Cancelling on the website will not stop charges from the app store. Conversely, if you subscribed directly, cancelling on Apple or Google will not work.
Mistake four: assuming you will receive an immediate refund
Most monthly subscriptions run until the end of your current billing cycle. Mentimeter does not refund the prorated balance unless you explicitly request it or New Zealand consumer law entitles you to one. Always ask for a refund in writing if you believe you deserve one.
After cancellation: what to do next
Once Mentimeter confirms your cancellation, a few final steps ensure a clean break and protect your interests.
Verify cancellation with your bank or payment provider
Contact your bank or credit card provider and confirm that Mentimeter no longer has authorisation to charge your card. Most providers allow you to revoke recurring payment mandates directly via their app or online banking portal. This secondary safeguard stops accidental re-billing if Mentimeter's cancellation system fails.
Monitor your bank statements for unexpected charges
Review your next bank statement closely. If Mentimeter charges you again after your cancellation date, report it immediately to your bank as an unauthorised or erroneous charge. Your bank can initiate a chargeback or refund within a set timeframe (typically 60 to 120 days in New Zealand). Yafee recommends setting a phone reminder for your renewal date plus two days to check your statement early.
Download and archive your presentation data
Before your subscription fully expires, export all presentations, audience responses and analytics you wish to retain. Mentimeter may delete inactive accounts or restrict your ability to access data after a set period. Save files in PDF, CSV or your preferred format to an external hard drive or cloud storage platform.
Mentimeter cancellation comparison: direct web versus app store
The cancellation method differs depending on where you subscribed. This table clarifies the procedural and timeline distinctions.
| Factor | Direct web (Mentimeter.com) | Apple App Store | Google Play Store |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where to cancel | Account settings / Billing | App Store app, Subscriptions | Google Play app, Manage subscriptions |
| Refund timeline | 5-10 business days | 5-15 business days (via Apple) | 5-15 business days (via Google) |
| Confirmation method | Email to registered account | Email to Apple ID email | Email to Google account email |
| Subscription ends | End of current billing cycle | End of current billing cycle | End of current billing cycle |
| Can reactivate? | Yes, anytime within 30 days | Yes, anytime | Yes, anytime |
When to escalate your Mentimeter cancellation complaint
Mentimeter must cancel your subscription within a reasonable timeframe and honour your legal entitlements. If the company refuses to cancel, claims you are not entitled to a refund despite strong grounds, or continues charging after cancellation, escalate your complaint.
Step one: send a formal cancellation and refund request by email
Email Mentimeter's support team with a clear subject line: "Cancellation request and refund claim-[Your Name] [Account email]". Include your account email address, the date you wish to cancel, the reason for cancellation, and any refund justification grounded in the Consumer Guarantees Act (e.g., service failure, misrepresentation, pro-rata entitlement). Yafee recommends using a professional tone and providing evidence (screenshots, dates, transaction IDs). Request a written response within seven calendar days.
Step two: file a complaint with the commerce commission if Mentimeter refuses
If Mentimeter does not respond within seven days or refuses your cancellation or refund request without lawful grounds, lodge a formal complaint with the Commerce Commission (www.comcom.govt.nz). The Commission investigates potential breaches of the Consumer Guarantees Act and can compel Mentimeter to refund you or correct unfair contract terms. Provide all emails, screenshots and evidence of your cancellation request and Mentimeter's response (or lack thereof).
Step three: pursue a chargeback through your bank if necessary
If the Commerce Commission investigation takes time and Mentimeter continues charging your card, contact your bank and dispute the charge as unauthorised or based on a cancelled service. Your bank will initiate a chargeback process and recover funds within 60 to 120 days in most cases.
