Frequently asked questions
Cancel Mem: The Right Way to Stop Unwanted Charges
How to cancel Mem and stop paying for a note-taking service you no longer use
What is Mem and why filipinos are cancelling their subscriptions
Mem is a cloud-based note-taking and knowledge management service that combines AI-powered features such as smart search, meeting summaries, and chat integration. You signed up expecting a streamlined way to capture and organize your thoughts, but discovered the interface doesn't align with your workflow, the cost accumulates month after month, or you found a more suitable alternative. If you are in the Philippines and want to cancel without facing unexpected charges in your next billing cycle, Yafee is here to guide you through the exact steps.
The practical challenge for Filipino users is clear: Mem's cancellation process lacks visibility on their public website, there is no local Philippines customer support line, and billing occurs in United States dollars, which your bank converts to Philippine pesos at their exchange rate, adding hidden conversion fees. Yafee exists to bridge that gap between what appears simple and what actually works, protecting your money and ensuring you understand your rights as a consumer.
The Mem pricing structure and what you are paying
Mem operates a freemium model with two main tiers. The free plan limits you to 25 new notes and 25 chat messages monthly, which suits casual users but frustrates anyone who relies on the service regularly. The paid tier, Mem Pro, costs USD 12 per month, equivalent to approximately PHP 660-720 depending on your bank's exchange rate, and grants you unlimited notes, unlimited chat messages, advanced search, collections, templates, email integration, API access, and early access to new features.
For teams, Mem offers Mem Teams with shared billing and priority support, but the company does not publish fixed pricing online. You must request a custom quote. As a Filipino subscriber, your true cost includes not only the USD 12 monthly charge but also the currency conversion fee your bank or payment provider applies. Over twelve months, Mem Pro costs roughly PHP 8,000 to 8,600, plus the expense of monitoring a service you may no longer actively use.
Common reasons why users cancel Mem
Filipino subscribers cancel Mem for three primary reasons: the application does not match their note-taking habits, they switch to cheaper or more familiar alternatives such as Notion, OneNote, or Google Keep, or they simply forget they are paying and discover the charge on their card statement weeks later.
Some users sign up for a free trial, receive a reminder email as the trial period ends, but do not see a clear confirmation or cancellation prompt before the first charge processes. If that scenario applies to you, Philippine consumer law protects you. The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) explicitly requires companies to obtain your clear, written consent before auto-renewing any subscription. Yafee has guided thousands of consumers through this exact situation and can help you reclaim your money and cancel with confidence.
Your consumer rights under philippine law and how they protect your wallet
Philippine consumer law gives you explicit protection against unfair billing practices, automatic renewal traps, and vague cancellation terms.
What philippine law requires Mem to do for you
Under the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394), Mem must provide you with straightforward, cost-free cancellation. The company must disclose auto-renewal terms clearly before you confirm a paid subscription, show you the exact billing date and amount in Philippine pesos or your local currency, and offer a simple method to cancel without navigating multiple channels or speaking with a representative.
Section 104 of the Consumer Act specifically prohibits repeated billing without your explicit prior written consent and transparent cancellation mechanisms. Furthermore, the National Privacy Commission (NPC) oversees data protection compliance, ensuring Mem does not misuse your payment information after cancellation.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel Mem at any time and receive a refund for the current billing period if the company failed to obtain clear consent before your first charge. You can escalate complaints to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Hotline at 1-388 or file a case with the National Consumer Affairs Center (NCAC) if Mem refuses to respond within 15 days of your cancellation request. Yafee recommends documenting all communication with Mem, including confirmation emails, billing statements, and cancellation requests, to strengthen your legal position if a dispute arises.
How to cancel Mem step by step
Yafee has mapped the most direct cancellation route for Filipino Mem users based on current account management practices.
Step 1: log in to your Mem account
Open your web browser and navigate to mem.ai. Enter your email address and password. If you have not logged in recently, you may receive a verification email. Check your inbox and click the verification link to confirm your identity.
Step 2: access your account settings
Once logged in, click your profile icon or avatar in the top right corner of the screen. Select "Settings" or "Account" from the dropdown menu. Look for a section labeled "Subscription", "Billing", "Plan", or "Account Status".
Step 3: locate your subscription and cancellation option
In the subscription or billing section, you should see your current plan (Mem Pro or Teams), the next billing date, and your payment method. Look for a button or link that says "Cancel subscription", "Cancel plan", "Downgrade", or "Cancel membership". Click that option.
Step 4: confirm your cancellation request
Mem may ask you why you are cancelling (optional feedback) and may offer you a discount to stay. If you are certain you want to cancel, select "Yes, cancel my subscription" or the equivalent confirmation button. Do not accept a discount unless you genuinely intend to keep the service.
Step 5: capture proof of cancellation
After you confirm, Mem should display a confirmation message or send a confirmation email to your registered address. Screenshot the on-screen confirmation and save the email. Write down the date and time of cancellation. This proof is critical if you need to dispute a future charge with your bank.
Step 6: verify the cancellation took effect
Log back into Mem after 24 hours. Check your subscription section again. It should now show "Cancelled" or "No active subscription" or revert to "Free" plan. If you still see an active Mem Pro subscription, contact Mem support immediately using the methods listed below.
If mem's web cancellation does not work
Some users report that the in-app cancellation button does not respond or leads to an error page. In that case, you have two alternative routes:
- Email Mem directly: Send a message to [email protected] or [email protected] with the subject line "Subscription cancellation request" and include your registered email address, current plan, and request to cancel effective immediately. Follow up every 5 business days if you do not receive a response within 3 days.
- Contact your bank or payment provider: If Mem does not respond within 15 days, you can ask your bank to dispute the charge or revoke the authorization for recurring payments. In the Philippines, contact your bank's customer service line or use their mobile app to stop automatic payments to Mem.
What happens immediately after you cancel Mem
Cancellation takes effect on your next scheduled billing date, not immediately upon request.
Your subscription status during the cancellation period
After you confirm cancellation, you retain full access to Mem Pro features until your current billing cycle ends. For example, if you pay on the 15th of each month and cancel on the 20th, you can use Mem Pro until the 14th of the following month. On the 15th, your subscription reverts to the free plan and you are charged nothing.
What you lose after cancellation
Once your Pro subscription expires, you lose access to unlimited notes, unlimited chat, advanced search, templates, email integration, API keys, and beta features. You keep your account and notes (they are stored in the free tier), but you can only create 25 new notes and send 25 chat messages per month. Your existing notes remain accessible and searchable.
Can you reactivate Mem pro later
Yes. If you change your mind within 90 days of cancellation, log back in and select the option to upgrade or reactivate your subscription. Mem will resume billing on your next scheduled date. However, if you wait longer than 90 days, you may need to sign up as a new user and create a fresh payment method.
Refunds, charge disputes, and how to reclaim your money
Philippine consumer law and banking regulations give you multiple ways to recover money if Mem charged you unfairly or you were never given a chance to cancel before the next charge.
When you qualify for a refund
You have grounds for a refund in the following circumstances:
- Mem charged you after you submitted a valid cancellation request but before the cancellation processed.
- You never gave explicit consent to auto-renewal before the first charge.
- Mem did not clearly disclose the billing date, amount, or cancellation process before you were charged.
- You are charged during the free trial without a clear opt-in confirmation.
- Mem did not respond to your cancellation request within 15 business days of your initial contact.
Step 1: request a refund from Mem directly
Email [email protected] or [email protected] with the subject "Refund request for subscription charge". Include your registered email, the billing date of the charge you want refunded, the amount in USD and PHP, and a brief explanation of why you believe the charge was unfair (e.g., "I cancelled before this billing date" or "I was never asked to confirm auto-renewal"). Request a response within 7 business days.
Step 2: escalate to your bank if Mem does not refund
If Mem does not reply within 7 business days or refuses your refund, contact your bank or payment provider (BPI, BDO, Metrobank, GCash, Paypal, etc.) and file a chargeback or payment dispute. Provide your bank with the evidence: your cancellation confirmation, emails to Mem, billing statements, and proof that Mem did not respond. Your bank will typically investigate within 30 days and issue a temporary credit while the dispute is resolved.
Step 3: file a complaint with the DTI or national consumer affairs center
If your bank's dispute process fails or you want to pursue a formal complaint, contact the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Hotline: 1-388 (toll-free) or visit your nearest DTI office. You can also file a case with the National Consumer Affairs Center (NCAC) under the DTI. Bring copies of all communication with Mem, your bank statement, and your cancellation request. The DTI can issue a compliance order requiring Mem to refund you and, if applicable, impose penalties for violating the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394).
Mem pricing breakdown and what you should compare
Understanding Mem's exact cost structure helps you decide if cancellation is right for you or if an upgrade or downgrade makes sense.
| Plan | Monthly cost (USD) | Monthly cost (PHP approx.) | Annual cost (PHP approx.) | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mem free | Free | Free | Free | 25 notes per month, 25 chat messages per month, basic search |
| Mem Pro | USD 12 | PHP 660-720 | PHP 8,000-8,600 | Unlimited notes, unlimited chat, advanced search, templates, email integration, API access |
| Mem Teams | Custom quote | Contact sales | Contact sales | Group billing, shared workspaces, team chat, admin controls, priority support |
| Notion plus | USD 10 | PHP 550-600 | PHP 6,600-7,200 | Unlimited pages, unlimited databases, AI assistant, shared workspaces, templates |
| Microsoft OneNote | Free or included in Office 365 (USD 6.99/month) | Free or PHP 380-420 | Free or PHP 4,560-5,040 | Unlimited notes, cloud sync, Office integration, collaboration |
| Google Keep | Free | Free | Free | Simple note-taking, color coding, voice notes, syncing across devices |
If you are cancelling Mem Pro because of cost, Notion Plus offers nearly identical features at a lower price and is widely used in the Philippines. If you only need basic note-taking, Google Keep or OneNote Free eliminate the subscription cost entirely. Yafee recommends testing the free or cheaper alternatives for at least two weeks before finalizing your Mem cancellation, so you are certain the switch works for your workflow.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Mem
Cancelling a subscription is straightforward, but one wrong move can trap you in unexpected charges or lose your data.
Mistake 1: cancelling without saving your notes first
Do not cancel your Mem account entirely. When you cancel your subscription, your account and all your notes remain in the free tier. You can still read and search your notes, but you cannot create more than 25 new notes per month. If you delete your account instead of just cancelling the subscription, all your data is permanently erased within 30 days. If you need your notes, export them to a PDF or backup format before cancelling. Log into Mem, open the settings, and look for an "Export" or "Download" option.
Mistake 2: assuming cancellation is instant
Cancellation is not effective immediately upon request. You continue to have Pro access until the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancel on the 20th but your billing date is the 30th, you are still charged on the 30th and will have access until the 29th of the following month. Mark your calendar with your next billing date so you know exactly when the cancellation takes effect.
Mistake 3: not keeping proof of cancellation
If Mem charges you again after cancellation, you need evidence that you cancelled. Screenshot your confirmation screen, save the confirmation email, and note the exact date and time. Without this proof, your bank will be less likely to issue a chargeback if you dispute the charge.
Mistake 4: ignoring currency conversion fees
Your bank may charge you a foreign exchange fee on top of Mem's USD 12 monthly charge. If you are a frequent canceller who constantly switches between apps, these fees add up. Use a payment provider with lower FX fees (such as Wise, formerly TransferWise) for international subscriptions to reduce hidden costs.
Mistake 5: not following up if Mem does not confirm cancellation
If you do not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours of cancelling via the website, email Mem support immediately. Do not assume it worked. Many users think they cancelled but log back in a month later to find themselves still charged. A quick follow-up email prevents that costly mistake.
After cancellation: next steps and alternatives
Once your Mem subscription ends, you have options depending on whether you want to stay note-free or migrate to a new app.
Migrating your notes to another app
If you are switching to Notion, OneNote, or another platform, export your Mem data now, while you still have access. In Mem, navigate to settings and select "Export" or "Download data". This typically provides a JSON file or CSV that you can import into most note-taking apps. Spend a few hours testing the new app with your exported notes before you forget how Mem worked. Many users find the transition easier if they use the new app daily for a full week before they stop checking Mem.
Managing your finances post-cancellation
After Mem cancellation is complete, add a reminder to your calendar to check your bank statement on the original billing date. Confirm that no charge appears. If a charge does occur after your cancellation confirmation, you have strong grounds to dispute it. Screenshot your statement, retrieve your cancellation confirmation email, and contact your bank's customer service line immediately.
Reviewing your other subscriptions
This is a good moment to audit all your recurring charges. Log into your bank app or online banking portal and look for other subscriptions you may have forgotten (streaming apps, software licenses, cloud storage). Yafee recommends doing this audit every six months to catch apps you no longer use and stop paying for them. The same consumer rights that protect you with Mem apply to every subscription you hold in the Philippines.

Why Mem users in the philippines cancel and what they choose instead
Yafee has observed consistent patterns in why Filipino Mem subscribers decide to leave.
Cost sensitivity is the primary driver. A USD 12 monthly subscription feels expensive to many Filipinos when other apps like Notion or Microsoft OneNote offer more features at a lower price or for free. Furthermore, the currency conversion adds another layer of unpredictability; your PHP cost fluctuates weekly depending on the USD-PHP exchange rate and your bank's markup.
User experience friction is the second factor. Some Filipino users find Mem's interface overwhelming for simple note-taking. If you only need a straightforward app to jot down shopping lists, meeting notes, or to-do items, Mem's AI-powered features feel like unnecessary complexity. Google Keep, by contrast, is free and intuitive.
Lack of local support compounds the problem. Mem does not maintain a Philippines-based customer service team. If you encounter an issue or want to cancel but do not see an obvious button, you are forced to email an international support address and wait days for a response. That friction alone drives many users to cancel and switch to Notion or OneNote, both of which have better local documentation and community support in the Philippines.
Comparison with other tools shows where users typically migrate:
| App | Price (PHP/month approx.) | Best for | Why users switch from Mem |
|---|---|---|---|
| Notion Plus | PHP 550-600 | Comprehensive note-taking and database management | Same features as Mem Pro, cheaper, larger community |
| Microsoft OneNote (free tier) | Free | Simple note-taking and syncing | Free, integrates with Office 365, no AI hype, straightforward |
| Google Keep | Free | Quick notes, lists, voice memos | Free, extremely simple, works offline, syncs automatically |
| Obsidian | Free or USD 40 one-time (sync optional) | Local note storage, markdown-based, privacy-focused | Privacy, no subscription required, works offline |
| Microsoft Office 365 (includes OneNote) | PHP 380-420/month or included in family plan | Full Office suite plus cloud note-taking | Better value if you need Word, Excel, PowerPoint anyway |
Contact information and escalation details
If you encounter problems cancelling Mem or Mem refuses to process your cancellation or refund request, use these official channels to escalate your complaint.
Mem support contact details
Email: [email protected] or [email protected]. Response time: 2-7 business days (no guaranteed timeframe). Website: mem.ai. No Philippines phone number or local support line is available.
Philippine consumer protection contacts
Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Hotline: 1-388 (toll-free in the Philippines). Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Office address: DTI Building, 385 Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue, Makati City 1200. The DTI can file a formal complaint against Mem for violations of the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) and order a refund if Mem breached its obligations.
National Consumer Affairs Center (NCAC): An office of the DTI. File complaints online at ncac.dti.gov.ph or visit any regional DTI office. The NCAC processes disputes between consumers and businesses and can mediate or litigate on your behalf at no cost.
Your bank's payment dispute services
If Mem charged you after you cancelled, contact your bank directly:
- BPI (Bank of the Philippine Islands): 1-800-1-888-025 or visit any branch
- BDO (Banco de Oro): 1-800-2-631-8000 or via BDO online banking portal
- Metrobank: 1-800-10-6588 or visit any branch
- GCash: Inside the GCash app, tap "Help", then "Report an issue" or "Dispute a transaction"
- PayPal: Log in, go to "Resolution Center", select "Report a problem", and choose the transaction
Provide your bank with your cancellation confirmation, billing statement, and any emails from Mem. Your bank will investigate and typically resolve the dispute within 30 days.
Your final summary: is cancelling Mem the right choice
Cancelling Mem makes sense if any of these apply: you are paying for a service you no longer use, you found a cheaper alternative that meets your needs, the AI features do not justify the PHP 660-720 monthly cost, or you want to reduce your subscription clutter. Under the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394), you have the right to cancel at any time without penalty, and Mem must process your cancellation within one billing cycle.
The cancellation process itself is straightforward: log in, navigate to settings, click "Cancel subscription", confirm, and save your proof. Where most people stumble is in follow-up. Mark your next billing date on your calendar and verify that no charge appears. If Mem charges you after you cancelled, do not hesitate to dispute the charge with your bank or file a complaint with the DTI.
