How to cancel Codefinity and stop unexpected charges in the philippines
What Codefinity is and why your cancellation matters
Codefinity is an online coding education platform that operates on a monthly subscription model. You pay a recurring charge to access live courses, real-world projects, and career guidance tracks. Unlike a one-time purchase, you do not own the content-you rent access to it. Once your subscription ends, your access disappears with it.
Cancellation matters because Codefinity uses automatic renewal billing. If you do not actively cancel before your renewal date arrives, the platform automatically charges your payment method again. Many learners in the Philippines activate an account, complete one or two courses, then forget to cancel before the next monthly charge hits their GCash, Maya, or credit card. At Yafee, we guide thousands of Filipinos through this exact situation every month, helping them reclaim control over their subscriptions and stop unwanted charges.
How automatic renewal works on Codefinity
When you sign up for a Codefinity paid plan, you agree to automatic renewal at the end of each billing cycle. The platform will renew your subscription unless you submit a cancellation request yourself. Codefinity does not send you a warning notification 24 hours before renewal-tracking your renewal date and initiating cancellation is your responsibility.
This auto-renewal structure is legal under the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394), provided the company makes cancellation straightforward and accessible. Codefinity publishes its cancellation process on its help centre, ensuring the procedure is transparent, even if not always prominently featured.
What you actually own after purchase
Codefinity offers two primary subscription tiers: Pro and Ultimate, both billed monthly in US dollars. Your bank or payment processor converts the USD amount to Philippine pesos at the current exchange rate, so your exact peso charge fluctuates slightly depending on the conversion markup applied on your billing date.
Once you cancel, you retain access to premium courses and learning materials only through the end of your current billing cycle. After that date, your access to subscription content terminates, but your progress, certificates, and learner profile remain saved in your account. You can reactivate your subscription at any time without losing your history.
Codefinity pricing in the philippines
Codefinity displays all prices in US dollars, so you need to understand your actual monthly cost in Philippine pesos.
| Plan |
USD monthly |
PHP monthly (approx.) |
Annual commitment (PHP approx.) |
| Pro |
$49.99 |
₱2,950 |
₱35,400 |
| Ultimate |
$59.99 |
₱3,540 |
₱42,480 |
Your actual peso charge may vary because exchange rates shift daily and your card issuer applies its own conversion fee. Check your most recent billing receipt to confirm exactly what amount your payment method processed.
Why you should cancel Codefinity now
Your reasons for cancelling are valid, and clarity on your decision strengthens your confidence in taking action.
Common reasons learners cancel
- You completed the courses you enrolled for and no longer need ongoing access.
- You switched to a different platform (freeCodeCamp, Codecademy, Udemy) and do not use Codefinity anymore.
- The course content does not match your skill level or learning goals.
- You need to reduce expenses and this subscription became a budget priority.
- You prefer self-paced learning over structured projects and mentor support.
- You found a free alternative or a lower-cost competitor that suits your needs better.
When cancellation makes financial sense
If you have not logged into Codefinity in over two weeks, you are not actively completing projects, or you are paying for features you do not use, cancellation stops money flowing toward an inactive account. Yafee's research shows that Filipino subscribers often keep subscriptions "just in case" without realising they could restart whenever they need to. Cancelling now and reactivating later costs nothing except the price of your next month if you return.
Your legal rights under philippine consumer law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) protects you as a buyer of online services and establishes clear rules that Codefinity must follow.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel any subscription or continuous service contract. The law requires Codefinity to make cancellation as easy as the initial sign-up process. The company cannot charge you after cancellation or require you to contact customer support multiple times to stop billing. If Codefinity continues charging you after you request cancellation, you can escalate your complaint to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Complaints and Advocacy Division, which enforces the Consumer Act. You may also file a chargeback through your bank or payment provider if the company does not honour your cancellation within 5 business days.
Transparency and disclosure requirements
Under the Consumer Act, Codefinity must clearly disclose:
- The exact amount you will be charged each billing cycle.
- The date on which each renewal charge occurs.
- The method to cancel your subscription.
- Any limitations or conditions that apply to cancellation.
If Codefinity's terms do not clearly state these details, or if the cancellation process is hidden or unnecessarily complicated, you have grounds to file a consumer complaint with the DTI.
How to cancel Codefinity: step-by-step process
The cancellation process takes approximately 5 minutes and requires you to access your account settings from any browser or mobile device.
Step 1: log into your Codefinity account
- Open your browser or the Codefinity mobile app.
- Navigate to the Codefinity login page (codefinity.com or your saved bookmark).
- Enter your email address and password.
- Click "Sign In" and wait for your dashboard to load.
Step 2: locate your account and subscription settings
- Click the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-left or top-right corner of your dashboard.
- Scroll down and select "Settings" or "Account Settings".
- On the Settings page, look for a "Billing", "Subscription", or "Plans" section.
- Click on the section that displays your current active subscription.
Step 3: review your current subscription details
- On the Subscription or Billing page, you will see your active plan (Pro or Ultimate).
- Note your renewal date-this is when your next charge will occur if you do not cancel.
- Review the cancellation policy to confirm any terms that apply.
Step 4: submit your cancellation request
- Look for a button or link labeled "Cancel Subscription", "Cancel Plan", or "Manage Subscription".
- Click this button to proceed.
- Codefinity may ask you to confirm your cancellation or select a reason from a dropdown menu (optional feedback).
- Read the cancellation confirmation message, which will state your final access date.
- Click "Confirm Cancellation" or a similar button to finalize your request.
Step 5: save your cancellation confirmation
- After you click confirm, Codefinity will display a cancellation confirmation message on screen.
- Screenshot or photograph this confirmation message as proof of your cancellation date.
- Codefinity will also send a confirmation email to your registered email address within 1 hour.
- Check your inbox (and spam folder) for this email and save it.
- The email will include your cancellation effective date and your final access date.
Step 6: verify your cancellation in your account
- Return to your Settings or Subscription page.
- Your active subscription should now display as "Cancelled" or "Ending on [date]".
- If your subscription still shows as active after 24 hours, contact Codefinity support with your confirmation email to escalate.
What happens after you cancel Codefinity
Understanding what occurs in the days and weeks following cancellation removes uncertainty and keeps you informed.
Your access during the notice period
You retain full access to all Pro or Ultimate content until the end of your current billing cycle. If your renewal date is 15 days away, you can use Codefinity for those 15 days at no additional cost. On the final day of your cycle, your access automatically terminates at midnight.
What data persists after cancellation
Your learner profile, course progress, certificates, and projects remain permanently saved in your Codefinity account. You can log in anytime after cancellation to view your history, but you cannot access premium course materials or submit new projects. If you reactivate your subscription months or years later, all your previous progress will be there, and you can resume exactly where you left off.
Final billing confirmation
After your cancellation effective date passes, Codefinity should not charge your payment method again. You may receive a final receipt confirming your subscription end date, but this is not a charge-it is a record. Check your bank or payment app within 30 days to ensure no further charges appear. If a charge does appear after your cancellation date, contact Codefinity support immediately with your cancellation confirmation email.
Refunds and billing adjustments after cancellation
Philippine consumer law and Codefinity's terms outline when refunds are possible.
When refunds are available
Codefinity typically does not refund unused portions of your current billing cycle if you cancel mid-month. Your subscription runs from one renewal date to the next, and you retain access for the full cycle regardless of when you cancel. However, if you cancel within 48 hours of an accidental duplicate charge, or if you paid for a plan and were unable to access it due to a technical error, Codefinity may issue a refund upon request.
How to request a refund
- Contact Codefinity support through their help centre or contact form.
- Provide your account email, subscription plan, and the specific charge you dispute.
- Attach screenshots of your billing receipt and any error messages you encountered.
- Explain your reason clearly (duplicate charge, access failure, etc.).
- Request a refund and provide your preferred refund method (original payment source or account credit).
- Codefinity typically responds within 5 business days with a decision.
Chargeback option if support does not respond
If Codefinity does not respond to your refund request within 7 business days, or if they deny a refund you believe is justified, contact your bank or payment provider. Request a chargeback or dispute for the transaction in question. Your bank will investigate and may reverse the charge within 30 to 60 days. Yafee advises this step only after you have given Codefinity a reasonable opportunity to resolve the issue directly.
Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Even with straightforward instructions, small oversights can delay your cancellation or leave your account at risk of further charges-but these mistakes are easy to prevent.
Mistake 1: confusing "pause" with "cancel"
Some subscription platforms allow you to pause a subscription, which temporarily suspends billing but keeps your account active. Cancellation, by contrast, terminates your subscription entirely. On Codefinity, ensure you click "Cancel Subscription" and not "Pause" if you want to stop all charges permanently. If your account shows a paused status, you will still be charged when the pause period ends.
Mistake 2: cancelling too close to your renewal date
Codefinity processes renewals automatically, sometimes up to 24 hours before your renewal date officially arrives. If you cancel on the same day as renewal, the system may have already processed your charge. Always cancel at least 2 to 3 days before your renewal date to guarantee the cancellation takes effect in time. Your renewal date is visible in your Subscription settings.
Mistake 3: not saving your cancellation confirmation
Screenshots and confirmation emails are your proof that you cancelled. If Codefinity continues to charge you and claims they have no record of your cancellation request, your confirmation email becomes essential evidence. Keep these confirmations for at least 6 months after cancellation.
Mistake 4: clearing your email without checking for confirmation
Codefinity sends a cancellation confirmation email within 1 hour of your request. If you delete your email account or disable email notifications, you may not receive this confirmation. Check your primary email inbox and spam folder immediately after cancelling, and do not delete the confirmation email until you see your cancellation reflected in your account settings (usually within 24 hours).
Mistake 5: assuming access ends immediately
Access ends at the conclusion of your current billing cycle, not the moment you cancel. If you cancel on day 5 of a 30-day cycle, you retain access for the remaining 25 days. Do not expect to lose access the same day you cancel unless your renewal date is that same day.
After cancellation: managing your learning without Codefinity
Cancelling Codefinity does not mean your learning journey stops-it simply shifts where and how you acquire coding skills.

Retaining your Codefinity progress
Before your access ends, download or screenshot your course certificates, project solutions, and completion badges. Codefinity allows you to save this data from your profile dashboard. Export any code files or notes you created during your courses, as you will lose access to the platform's editor and project submission tools after cancellation.
If Codefinity does not honour your cancellation request or continues charging you after your cancellation effective date, use this information to escalate your complaint:
- Primary contact: Codefinity support via their help centre contact form or support email (check codefinity.com/support).
- DTI Consumer Complaints Advocacy Division: File a formal complaint if Codefinity ignores your cancellation or refund request. Contact the DTI at dti.gov.ph or visit your nearest DTI office in your province.
- Your bank or payment provider: Initiate a chargeback or payment dispute if Codefinity charges you after your cancellation effective date and refuses to refund the charge.
Cancellation checklist before you hit submit
Use this checklist to ensure you are fully prepared before you initiate cancellation:
- You have logged into your Codefinity account and located the Subscription or Billing settings.
- You have noted your renewal date to confirm cancellation before that date arrives.
- You understand your final access date and have retrieved any certificates or project files you need.
- You have confirmed the cancellation reason (optional, but helpful for your own records).
- You are ready to screenshot your cancellation confirmation and save the confirmation email.
- You have verified your payment method will not be charged after your cancellation effective date.
