Cancel Aloha: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Aloha VPN in the philippines and stop hidden charges
What Aloha is and why you may want to cancel
Aloha is a subscription-based virtual private network (VPN) service available to Filipino users through the App Store and Google Play. The service encrypts your data, masks your IP address, and lets you browse as if you were in different countries. You pay either ₱155.00 per month or ₱1,290.00 per year for access to secure connections and geo-blocked content. Like all digital subscriptions in the Philippines, Aloha charges you automatically each billing cycle unless you actively cancel. This automatic renewal model catches many users off guard when they discover recurring charges they no longer want.
Understanding your subscription and payment tiers
When you subscribe to Aloha, you receive a VPN that protects your browsing on public Wi-Fi networks and allows you to access content restricted to specific regions. The service offers two payment options: a monthly plan at ₱155.00, which you can cancel at any time without penalty, and an annual plan at ₱1,290.00, which renews automatically after 12 months. The annual plan costs less per month but commits you to a full billing cycle before cancellation takes effect.
The critical issue is that Aloha operates through multiple billing channels. You may have signed up via Apple's App Store (which uses Apple's subscription system), Google Play (Android's billing infrastructure), or directly through the Aloha website via their account dashboard. Many subscribers forget which platform they used, and this mistake becomes costly when they cancel in one place while the other subscription continues charging them. Yafee recommends documenting your signup method immediately after purchase to avoid this trap.
Key features and their impact on cancellation
Aloha promotes fast connection speeds, a wide selection of server locations, and round-the-clock customer support. The service does not impose a minimum commitment period or early termination fees in its publicly available terms, which means you can cancel without contractual penalties. However, Aloha's terms do not clearly specify whether a free trial applies, how long the company retains your data after cancellation, or what happens to your saved settings once your subscription ends.
Most importantly, Aloha uses automatic renewal. Your subscription renews and charges your payment method on the anniversary of your signup date (monthly or yearly, depending on your plan). Deleting the Aloha app from your phone does not cancel your subscription because billing runs independently of the app itself. You must cancel through the exact channel where you subscribed, whether that is the App Store, Google Play, or the Aloha website.
Your legal position under philippine consumer law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) establishes your right to transparent billing and straightforward cancellation. This law requires companies to disclose all material terms before you consent to automatic renewal, and it guarantees your absolute right to cancel at any time without advance notice or penalty.
What the consumer act of the philippines guarantees you
Under Republic Act No. 7394, subscription services must provide clear, visible terms before you make your first payment. You must give explicit consent to automatic renewal, and that consent cannot be obtained through misleading language or hidden clauses. Crucially, the law states that you can cancel at any time, and the company cannot force you to continue paying after your cancellation request is received.
If Aloha charges you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request, the company is in violation of consumer protection law. You have grounds to demand a full refund for all charges incurred after your cancellation date. Yafee advises all Filipino subscribers to keep records of every cancellation attempt, including screenshots, email confirmations, and timestamps. These documents are essential evidence if you need to escalate your complaint to a regulatory authority.
Enforcement agencies and escalation routes
If Aloha refuses to honour your cancellation or denies a refund for post-cancellation charges, you have two escalation options. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) handles complaints about unfair billing practices and subscription disputes. The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) also oversees complaints related to digital services and internet-based subscriptions. Both agencies can order the company to refund unauthorised charges and suspend the service if it continues to breach consumer law.
In practice, this means you should never accept a company refusal to cancel. Your right to cancel is backed by Philippine law, and regulatory agencies are empowered to enforce it. Yafee recommends documenting every step: your cancellation request, the date you submitted it, the response you received, and any charges that occurred afterward. This evidence becomes your leverage if you need to file a complaint with the DTI or NTC.
When to cancel Aloha and why timing matters
Your cancellation takes effect at different times depending on your billing plan and which platform you use. Understanding these timelines prevents you from paying for services you no longer want.
Cancellation timing for monthly plans
If you are on Aloha's monthly plan at ₱155.00, your cancellation typically takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. Most subscription services, including Aloha, allow you to use the service until that date, then stop charging you. Submit your cancellation request as soon as you decide to cancel, because the sooner you submit it, the sooner your billing cycle ends without renewal. Some users mistakenly believe they must wait until the day before their renewal date to cancel. In fact, you should cancel immediately to ensure the request processes before your renewal date arrives.
Cancellation timing for annual plans
Annual plans at ₱1,290.00 operate differently. You pay for 12 months upfront, so cancellation does not reduce your current payment. However, cancelling before your renewal date prevents the company from charging you for another year. If your annual plan renews on 15 March and you cancel on 10 March, you stop the ₱1,290.00 charge scheduled for 15 March. If you cancel on 16 March (after renewal), you have already been charged and must request a refund. Yafee emphasises that annual subscribers should mark their renewal date in their calendar and submit cancellation requests at least 3 to 5 days before that date.
How to cancel Aloha through each platform
Your cancellation method depends on which channel you used to subscribe. Follow the steps below for your specific platform.
Cancel Aloha through apple's app store
If you subscribed via the App Store on an iPhone or iPad, you must cancel through Apple's subscription management system, not through the Aloha app itself.
- Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen.
- If you do not see a profile icon, tap "Today" at the bottom, then scroll to the top and tap the profile icon.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- Find "Aloha" in your list of active subscriptions and tap it.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" (this button may also say "Edit" or "Manage").
- Some versions of iOS show a "Cancel" or "Delete" button instead. Tap whichever option appears.
- Follow any confirmation prompts to confirm your cancellation.
- You will see a confirmation message. Take a screenshot for your records.
Apple will stop charging you after your current billing cycle ends. You will retain access to Aloha until midnight on your renewal date. If you cancel before the renewal charges, Apple will not process that payment.
Cancel Aloha through google play
If you subscribed on an Android device via Google Play, cancel through Google's subscription management system.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions" from the menu.
- Tap "Subscriptions."
- Find and tap "Aloha" in your list of subscriptions.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
- Select your reason for cancellation (optional but helps Google improve the app).
- You may be offered a discount or retention offer. Decline this if you genuinely want to cancel.
- Confirm the cancellation by tapping "Cancel subscription" again.
- Google will display a confirmation. Screenshot this for your records.
Google Play will stop charging you at the end of your current billing period. You retain full access until your renewal date passes without payment.
Cancel Aloha through the website or app account dashboard
If you subscribed directly through Aloha's website or registered an Aloha account, cancel through the app's settings or the Aloha website.
- Open the Aloha app or visit the Aloha website and log in with your account credentials.
- Navigate to "Settings" or "Account Settings" (usually found in a menu icon or profile section).
- Look for "Subscription," "Billing," or "My Plan."
- Tap or click "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Plan."
- Select your reason for cancellation (optional).
- Review the cancellation summary and confirm by clicking "Cancel" or "Confirm Cancellation."
- Aloha will send a confirmation email to the address associated with your account. Save this email.
If the Aloha app or website does not show a cancellation option, contact Aloha's customer support directly by replying to your subscription confirmation email or visiting their support page. Request that they cancel your subscription and provide their response in writing. Yafee recommends keeping all email communications for your records, as these serve as proof of your cancellation request if disputes arise later.
What happens after you cancel Aloha
Cancellation does not mean immediate service loss. You retain access to Aloha until the end of your billing cycle, and the company cannot charge you again after your cancellation date passes.
Your access period after cancellation
Once you cancel, Aloha continues working until midnight on your renewal date. If you cancelled a monthly subscription scheduled to renew on 20 April, you can use Aloha until 20 April at 11:59 p.m., then access stops on 21 April. If you cancelled an annual subscription scheduled to renew on 15 June, you have full VPN access until that date. This grace period means you can plan your switch to another VPN service without losing protection.
Data and account information after cancellation
Aloha does not state clearly in its publicly available terms how long it retains your browsing data, connection logs, or account settings after you cancel. Industry best practice dictates that VPN providers should delete or anonymise user data within 30 to 90 days of account closure. If data retention concerns you, contact Aloha's customer support and request confirmation that your data will be deleted. Ask for this response in writing so you have proof of the company's data retention policy.
Reactivating your Aloha subscription
If you cancelled but later decide you want Aloha again, you can resubscribe at any time. Your old account may have been deleted, so you will likely sign up as a new user. Check the current pricing before resubscribing, as rates may have changed. Yafee notes that companies sometimes offer discounted rates to returning subscribers, so ask Aloha's support team if you qualify for a special rate when you reactivate.
Refunds and reversing charges
Philippine consumer law entitles you to a refund if Aloha charges you after your cancellation request was submitted and confirmed.
Requesting a refund from Aloha directly
If Aloha charged you after you cancelled, contact the company immediately and request a refund. Use the following procedure:
- Gather your evidence: your cancellation confirmation (screenshot or email), your credit card or bank statement showing the unauthorised charge, and the date the charge occurred.
- Email Aloha's customer support address (usually found on their website or in subscription confirmation emails) with the subject line "Refund Request - Unauthorised Charge After Cancellation."
- In your email, provide:
- Your Aloha account email address or account number.
- The date you submitted your cancellation request.
- The date the unwanted charge appeared on your statement.
- The amount charged (e.g., ₱155.00 or ₱1,290.00).
- Your original payment method (e.g., credit card ending in XXXX).
- Attach screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and your bank or credit card statement showing the charge.
- Request a refund to your original payment method and ask for a written confirmation of the refund decision.
- Set a deadline: inform Aloha that you expect a response within 7 to 10 business days.
Most legitimate companies process refunds within 5 to 7 business days of your request. The money will appear back in your bank account or credit card account, though your bank may take an additional 2 to 3 business days to post the credit. If Aloha does not refund you within 10 business days, escalate your complaint.
Requesting a refund from your bank or credit card company
If Aloha refuses to refund you, contact your bank or credit card issuer and request a chargeback or dispute. Under Philippine law, your bank has a duty to reverse unauthorised charges or charges incurred after a valid cancellation request. Provide your bank with the same evidence you sent to Aloha: your cancellation confirmation, the charge date, and Aloha's refusal to refund.
Your bank will open a dispute case and contact Aloha for their response. If Aloha cannot prove that you authorised the charge after your cancellation request, your bank will reverse the charge and credit your account. This process typically takes 30 to 60 days, but you will see the credit in your account within this period.
Escalating to regulatory authorities
If both Aloha and your bank deny your refund, you can file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) or the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC). These agencies investigate subscription billing disputes and can order companies to refund unauthorised charges. Yafee has seen many cases where DTI intervention resolved refund disputes within 30 to 45 days. File your complaint through the DTI's online portal or visit a local DTI office in your province. Include copies of all communications, cancellation confirmations, and charge statements.
Pricing and payment methods
Understanding Aloha's pricing structure helps you calculate your total annual cost and compare it to other VPNs.
| Plan | Monthly cost | Total per year | Renewal | Cancellation fee | Best for |
| Monthly | ₱155.00 | ₱1,860.00 | Every month | None | Trial users, flexible needs |
| Annual | ₱107.50 (average) | ₱1,290.00 | Every year | None | Committed users, budget-conscious |
| Free trial | Not specified | N/A | Converts to paid plan | None if cancelled before conversion | Testing the service |
The annual plan saves you ₱570.00 per year compared to the monthly plan (₱1,860 minus ₱1,290). However, the annual plan commits you to a full 12-month billing cycle, so cancel before your renewal date if you do not want to be charged again. Payment methods typically include credit cards, debit cards, and regional digital wallets. All charges appear on your statement as "Aloha" or the parent company's name.
Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Cancelling Aloha is straightforward if you follow the correct steps, but small errors can result in unexpected charges.
Deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
This is the most common mistake. Removing Aloha from your phone does nothing to stop billing. The subscription and the app are separate systems. Your payment method will still be charged on your renewal date even if the app is no longer on your device. You must cancel through the platform where you subscribed (App Store, Google Play, or Aloha's website) to stop charges. Yafee advises all users to cancel the subscription before deleting the app.
Cancelling in the wrong place
If you subscribed through the App Store but cancel in Google Play, your App Store subscription continues and charges you as scheduled. The two systems do not communicate with each other. Check your subscription confirmation email to confirm which platform you used, then cancel in that exact location. If you signed up years ago and cannot remember, check both the App Store and Google Play. Your active subscription will appear in only one place.
Cancelling too late in the billing cycle
If your renewal date is tomorrow and you cancel today, the company will likely process your renewal charge before your cancellation request reaches the system. Submit your cancellation request at least 3 to 5 business days before your renewal date to ensure the request is processed in time. Mark your renewal date on your calendar, set a phone reminder, and cancel well in advance.
Not saving confirmation of your cancellation
Always take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation screen or save the confirmation email. If Aloha disputes that you cancelled, this evidence proves you submitted a valid request. Without it, the company can claim you never cancelled, and you will be liable for charges. Yafee recommends keeping cancellation confirmations for at least one year after you cancel.
Ignoring a final charge after cancellation
If you see a charge from Aloha after your cancellation date, do not ignore it. Contact the company immediately and request a refund. The sooner you act, the easier it is to resolve. If you wait more than 30 days, your bank or credit card company may be less willing to reverse the charge. Keep all communications with Aloha in a folder for potential escalation to the DTI or NTC.
Comparing Aloha to other VPN options
Before you cancel, consider whether another VPN might better suit your needs.
| VPN service | Monthly cost (PHP) | Annual cost (PHP) | Free trial | Philippine servers | Cancellation policy |
| Aloha | ₱155.00 | ₱1,290.00 | Not specified | Yes (multiple) | Anytime, no fee |
| ExpressVPN | Approx. ₱450.00 | Approx. ₱4,500.00 | 30-day money-back guarantee | Yes | 30-day full refund |
| NordVPN | Approx. ₱280.00 | Approx. ₱2,800.00 | 30-day money-back guarantee | Yes | 30-day full refund |
| Windscribe | Approx. ₱200.00 | Approx. ₱1,800.00 | Free plan with limits | Yes | Anytime, no fee |
| Atlas VPN | Approx. ₱180.00 | Approx. ₱1,440.00 | 7-day free trial | Yes | Anytime, no fee |
Aloha is among the most affordable VPN options available to Filipino users. If you are cancelling because of cost, compare Aloha's annual plan at ₱1,290.00 to alternatives before switching. If you are cancelling because of connection speed or server availability, test a competitor's free trial first. Yafee recommends avoiding the impulse to cancel without exploring your options, as switching services can be disruptive and time-consuming.
Checklist for a successful cancellation
Use this checklist to ensure your Aloha cancellation is completed correctly and your refund is protected.
- Identify which platform you subscribed through (App Store, Google Play, or Aloha website). Check your subscription confirmation email or your payment method statements if unsure.
- Mark your renewal date on a calendar to prevent accidental charges.
- Cancel at least 3 to 5 business days before your renewal date to ensure the request processes in time.
- Use the correct cancellation method for your platform (see the step-by-step sections above).
- Take a screenshot or save a copy of your cancellation confirmation before closing the app or browser.
- If you cancel via email or customer support, save all communications.
- Monitor your bank account or credit card for any charges from Aloha after your cancellation date.
- If an unauthorised charge appears, contact Aloha within 10 business days and request a refund with evidence of your cancellation.
- If Aloha refuses to refund you, contact your bank and file a dispute or chargeback.
- If your bank denies your refund, file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) within 30 days of the unauthorised charge.
- Keep all documentation (cancellation confirmations, charge statements, emails) for at least one year.
Your next steps
If you have decided to cancel Aloha, act within the next 24 hours. The sooner you submit your cancellation request, the sooner your subscription ends and charges stop. Review the platform-specific instructions above, follow the steps carefully, and save your confirmation. If Aloha charges you after your cancellation date, remember that Philippine consumer law protects you, and agencies like the DTI can enforce your right to a refund.
Navigating subscription cancellations can be complex, especially when automatic billing and multi-platform signups are involved. Yafee has helped thousands of Filipino consumers cancel unwanted services and recover unauthorised charges by providing clear, step-by-step guidance grounded in consumer law. Whether you are cancelling Aloha due to cost, service issues, or simply no longer needing the VPN, your right to cancel is absolute under the Consumer Act of the Philippines. Document every step, and do not hesitate to escalate to the DTI or your bank if the company refuses to honour your cancellation or refund your money.

Contact Aloha for cancellation support
If you encounter any issues during the cancellation process, reach out directly to Aloha's customer support team. Most companies provide email support, in-app chat, or a contact form on their website. Save all correspondence with the company, as this evidence is essential if you need to file a complaint with the DTI or dispute the charge with your bank.
