Frequently asked questions
Cancel Quillbot: The Right Way
How to cancel QuillBot in new zealand and protect your refund rights
What QuillBot is and why you might cancel
QuillBot is an AI-powered writing assistant that helps you paraphrase text, improve grammar, summarise documents, detect plagiarism and identify AI-generated content. Students, professionals and writers rely on it to enhance clarity, rework passages and verify originality before submission.
The service operates across web, iOS and Android platforms with free and Premium subscription tiers. If you've upgraded to Premium but no longer use its features, or if the monthly cost no longer aligns with your budget, you should cancel promptly to avoid recurring charges. Yafee specialises in helping you understand your cancellation rights under New Zealand law.
Core features of QuillBot
QuillBot's primary tools include multiple paraphrase modes, real-time grammar checking, document summarisation, plagiarism detection and an AI-content detector. You can integrate it with your web browser and access it across devices, making it convenient for writers who work on the move.
If you're finding yourself using only the free tier, or if you've switched to a competing writing tool, there's no practical reason to maintain a paid subscription.
When you should consider cancelling
Cancel QuillBot if your subscription has renewed without active use, if you've found a more affordable alternative, if you've completed your study or project, or if your financial situation has changed. Yafee encourages you to act quickly within your refund window to recover eligible charges.
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
As a New Zealand consumer, the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 protects your right to cancel and claim refunds under specific circumstances.
Consumer guarantees act protections
Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, if QuillBot fails to provide the service as advertised, is substantially unfit for its stated purpose or differs materially from what you were promised, you have the legal right to cancel and request a refund. These protections apply to all subscription services purchased in New Zealand, regardless of where the company is based.
Furthermore, if you purchased your Premium subscription using a credit card or digital payment method, New Zealand consumer law permits you to dispute charges with your bank for up to 12 months if the service wasn't delivered as advertised. This is a critical protection that complements your direct cancellation rights with QuillBot.
Refund windows and dispute timeframes
QuillBot applies a 3-day refund window for web purchases made outside Europe. New Zealand consumers fall under this "rest of world" category for the company's stated policy. However, your right to dispute a charge through your bank extends to 12 months under the Consumer Guarantees Act, giving you additional protection beyond QuillBot's internal refund window.
If QuillBot refuses your cancellation or refund request, you can escalate the matter to the Commerce Commission (the New Zealand consumer protection authority) or lodge a dispute with your bank's dispute resolution service. Yafee advises you to document all communication with QuillBot before taking this escalation step, including emails, screenshots and cancellation confirmations.
Your legal position
You have two independent pathways to recover your money if QuillBot fails to deliver its service as promised. First, you can invoke the Consumer Guarantees Act directly with QuillBot. Second, you can dispute the charge through your card issuer or bank. The Commerce Commission can investigate QuillBot's compliance with consumer law if both channels fail. Yafee's role is to clarify these rights so you approach cancellation with confidence.
How to cancel QuillBot on the web
If you subscribed directly through QuillBot.com using your email address, use this method to cancel from any web browser or device.
- Navigate to quillbot.com/account in your web browser and sign in with your email address and password.
- Click the Account tab at the top of the page to access your account settings.
- Locate the section titled "Your Plan" and select it to view your current subscription details, including your billing date and renewal amount.
- Select the "Cancel subscription" button and review the cancellation terms displayed on the next screen.
- Choose one of two options presented to you:
- Disable auto-renewal to keep your Premium access active until your current billing period ends, after which you'll revert to the free tier.
- Cancel immediately to stop access right away and request a refund if you're within 3 days of your purchase date (14 days if you're in Europe).
- Confirm your choice. QuillBot will send a cancellation confirmation email to your registered email address within minutes.
- Retain this confirmation email as proof of your cancellation for your records and any future disputes.

- Google will send you a cancellation confirmation. Your Premium access will remain active until your current billing period ends, then terminate automatically.
Refund eligibility and what to expect after cancellation
Your refund eligibility depends on when you purchased your subscription and the refund policy QuillBot applies to your region.
Refund eligibility under new zealand law
QuillBot's stated 3-day refund window applies to web purchases. However, the Consumer Guarantees Act gives you stronger protection: if the service fails to meet its advertised purpose within a reasonable timeframe, you can claim a refund regardless of QuillBot's internal policy. This means you have at least 3 days under QuillBot's terms, plus up to 12 months under consumer law if the service was defective or misrepresented.
To request a refund if you're within the 3-day window, contact QuillBot's support team immediately. Include your subscription details, purchase date and reason for cancellation. If QuillBot refuses and you believe the service failed to meet its advertised standard, lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission.
What happens to your account after cancellation
Once you cancel, your Premium features will remain available until the end of your current billing period. After that date, your account automatically reverts to the free tier, and you'll lose access to paraphrase modes, plagiarism detection, the AI-content detector and document summarisation.
Your account login credentials remain active, so you can still access any saved documents or usage history in the free version. However, you cannot recover Premium access unless you purchase a new subscription.
Preventing accidental resubscription
After you cancel, verify that auto-renewal is completely disabled in your account settings, your Apple ID subscriptions, or your Google Play subscriptions (depending on your purchase method). Yafee recommends checking these settings once per month to confirm no renewal has occurred. If QuillBot charges you after cancellation, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to dispute the charge.
QuillBot pricing and subscription tiers in new zealand
Understanding QuillBot's pricing structure helps you decide whether cancellation is the right choice for your budget.
| Subscription tier | Billing cycle | Monthly NZD | Annual NZD | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | No charge | NZD $0 | NZD $0 | Basic paraphrase, grammar check (limited), no plagiarism detection |
| Premium monthly | Monthly renewal | NZD $13 | N/A | All paraphrase modes, full grammar check, plagiarism detection, AI detector, document summarisation |
| Premium annual | Annual renewal | N/A | NZD $120 | All Premium features, approximately 23% discount versus monthly billing |
| Premium Plus | Monthly renewal | NZD $25 | Upon request | Premium Plus features, extended document limits, priority support |
If you're on a monthly plan at NZD $13 per month, your annual commitment totals NZD $156, whereas the annual plan costs NZD $120. Switching to annual billing saves you NZD $36 per year. Conversely, if you're on Premium Plus at NZD $25 monthly, you're spending NZD $300 annually-a significant cost if you've switched to an alternative tool.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling QuillBot
Cancellation is straightforward, but several missteps can leave you vulnerable to unexpected charges or lost refund opportunities.
Assuming your account is deleted
Cancelling your QuillBot subscription does not delete your account. Your login details remain valid, and you can still access the free tier with any previously saved work. However, if you want to completely remove your personal data and account profile, you must separately request account deletion from QuillBot's support team. Yafee advises treating cancellation and account deletion as two separate actions.
Forgetting to cancel across multiple platforms
If you've purchased QuillBot subscriptions on both the web and through the App Store (or Google Play), you must cancel each subscription separately. Cancelling on the web does not automatically cancel your app-based subscription. Check your Apple ID subscriptions and Google Play subscriptions monthly to confirm no active payments exist.
Missing your refund window
The 3-day refund window begins on your purchase date, not your first login or first use. If you purchase on a Monday, your refund window closes on Thursday. Failing to cancel within this window means you forfeit QuillBot's stated refund, though you retain your legal rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act. Contact QuillBot immediately if you discover an unexpected charge.
Not documenting your cancellation
Screenshot your cancellation confirmation email or your account settings showing "subscription cancelled" or "no active subscription". If a dispute arises with QuillBot or your bank, this proof is critical. Yafee recommends saving cancellation confirmations in a dedicated folder for at least 12 months.
Comparison: QuillBot versus competing writing tools
If you're cancelling QuillBot because you've found a better alternative, this comparison may confirm your decision or help you evaluate whether to stay.
| Tool | Monthly NZD | Paraphrase | Plagiarism detection | AI detection | Grammar check |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| QuillBot Premium | NZD $13 | Yes (6 modes) | Yes | Yes | Yes (full) |
| Grammarly Premium | NZD $18 | Limited | No | No | Yes (advanced) |
| Hemingway Editor | One-time NZD $20 | No | No | No | Yes (style-focused) |
| Turnitin | NZD $15 (student) | No | Yes (advanced) | Limited | No |
| Copyscape | NZD $4.95 per check | No | Yes (web only) | No | No |
QuillBot remains cost-effective for writers who need paraphrasing, plagiarism detection and AI detection in one tool. However, if you only need grammar checking, Grammarly Premium offers a narrower feature set at a higher price. Conversely, if plagiarism detection is your priority, Turnitin's advanced scanning may justify the switch despite lacking paraphrase tools.
What to do if QuillBot refuses your cancellation or refund
Your consumer rights do not depend on QuillBot's willingness to cooperate.
Step one: request cancellation in writing
If QuillBot's online cancellation process fails or doesn't work, email their support team directly at [email protected] with a clear request: "I request cancellation of my QuillBot Premium subscription effective immediately and a refund of all charges within the past 3 days under QuillBot's refund policy and the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993." Include your email address, subscription start date and reason for cancellation. Retain a copy of this email.
Step two: escalate to QuillBot's billing department
If QuillBot's support team does not respond within 5 business days or refuses your refund, email their billing department (also at [email protected]) with the subject line "Escalation: Refund request for subscription [your email]". Reference your first email and the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 as the legal basis for your claim. Set a deadline: "Please respond within 7 days or I will lodge a dispute with my bank and report this matter to the Commerce Commission."
Step three: lodge a dispute with your bank
Contact your bank or card issuer and request a chargeback or dispute for your QuillBot charge. Explain that the service was not delivered as advertised, or that you cancelled within the required timeframe but were still charged. Provide your cancellation confirmation email, screenshots of your account showing cancellation, and a copy of your communication with QuillBot. Your bank will investigate on your behalf at no cost to you.
Step four: report QuillBot to the commerce commission
If your bank's dispute is unsuccessful, or if you believe QuillBot has systematically breached consumer law, lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission (the New Zealand regulator). Visit www.comcom.govt.nz and select "Report a problem". Describe QuillBot's refusal to honour cancellation or refunds, include copies of all communication and state which provision of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 you believe has been breached. The Commerce Commission will investigate and may take enforcement action against QuillBot if widespread breaches are found.

Contacting QuillBot for cancellation support
If you encounter technical issues during cancellation or need to speak with a human representative, use these contact methods.
Email support
Send your cancellation request to [email protected] with the subject line "Cancellation request: [your email address]".

Help centre and online documentation
Visit QuillBot's help centre at support.quillbot.com for step-by-step guides on cancelling via web, iOS and Android. The help centre also contains FAQs about refunds, billing and account management.
In-app support chat

However, for formal cancellation requests and refunds, email is preferred because you receive a dated written record.
