Frequently asked questions
Cancel Hubstaff: The Right Way
How to cancel Hubstaff and protect yourself from unwanted charges
Why you might want to cancel Hubstaff
Hubstaff is a time-tracking and employee monitoring platform built for remote teams, freelancers, BPOs, and small businesses across the Philippines. It combines timesheets, app tracking, screenshot capture, invoicing, payroll support, and project management into one dashboard. If you have been using it and now want to leave, you deserve a clear path to cancellation without hidden charges or ongoing billing. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate SaaS cancellations with confidence.
When cancellation makes sense
You may want to cancel Hubstaff for several reasons. Your team may have outgrown the free tier but cannot justify the cost per user. You may have switched to a competing time-tracking tool such as Clockify, Toggl, or Harvest. You may have concerns about privacy or the frequency of screenshot capture. Your business may have downsized, or you may have discovered that real-time activity monitoring is not aligned with your team culture. Whatever your reason, the cancellation process in the Philippines is straightforward when you follow the correct steps and know your legal rights.
The risk of delayed cancellation
Hubstaff bills monthly or annually depending on your plan and payment schedule. If you delay cancellation, you may be charged for a full month or renewal cycle before your account closes. Your credit card may continue to be charged if you cancel within the dashboard but do not follow up with the support team to confirm the cancellation took effect. In the Philippines, the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) protects you against unauthorized charges, but prevention is faster than filing a dispute later.
Understanding Hubstaff pricing in philippine pesos
Hubstaff displays prices in US dollars on its main website, so your actual cost depends on the current PHP-USD exchange rate and your payment method. Using an approximate rate of 1 USD to ₱56.50, here is what you typically pay per user per month when billed annually.
| Plan tier | USD per month | PHP equivalent | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $4.99 | ₱282 | Basic timesheets and app tracking |
| Grow | $7.50 | ₱424 | Team features and project tracking |
| Team | $10.00 | ₱565 | Advanced reporting and integrations |
| Enterprise | $25.00 | ₱1,412 | Custom features and dedicated support |
Monthly billing costs more than annual billing. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, your charges appear in your app store billing cycle, not Hubstaff's direct billing. This matters when you cancel, because you may need to cancel through the app store instead of the Hubstaff dashboard. Furthermore, if your account was billed via a third-party payment processor or invoicing system, the cancellation must be processed through that same channel to prevent duplicate charges.
What you pay for in each Hubstaff plan
All Hubstaff plans include timesheets, real-time app and URL tracking, activity level monitoring, and basic reporting. The Grow plan adds project tracking, invoicing templates, and team scheduling. The Team plan includes advanced reporting, custom fields, expense logging, and integration with third-party accounting software. The Enterprise plan offers location tracking, custom branding, dedicated account management, and the ability to disable screenshot features for privacy-conscious teams. Consequently, if you only need basic time tracking and do not require invoicing or advanced reporting, the Starter plan may have been overkill, and cancellation frees up budget for a lighter alternative such as a spreadsheet or simpler tool.
Your consumer rights and what the law protects
In the Philippines, the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) is your legal foundation for cancellation rights and refund disputes.
What the consumer act of the philippines guarantees
Under RA 7394, Hubstaff must clearly disclose the terms of your subscription, including the price, billing frequency, renewal date, and the cancellation process. The company cannot hide the cancellation method or make it deliberately difficult to cancel. If you request cancellation and Hubstaff continues to charge your card, that may violate your consumer rights under the law. You have the right to dispute unauthorized charges and demand a refund within a reasonable timeframe.
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) enforces consumer protection in the Philippines and will investigate complaints against Hubstaff if the company refuses to honour your cancellation request or refund. The DTI's Consumer Complaint Action Center can be reached through its website (dti.gov.ph) or by visiting your local DTI office.
Your legal position when you cancel
Once you submit a cancellation request to Hubstaff, you have the legal right to expect the company to process it within 5 to 7 business days and cease billing. If Hubstaff charges your card after you have cancelled, you can file a chargeback with your bank or credit card company and provide evidence of your cancellation request (email confirmation or screenshot of the cancellation in your dashboard). You can also file a formal complaint with the DTI if Hubstaff refuses to refund the unwanted charge. Under the Consumer Act, the burden is on Hubstaff to prove the charge was authorized; if you cancelled, the charge is unauthorized.
How to cancel Hubstaff from your account dashboard
The quickest way to cancel Hubstaff is through your online account dashboard, which processes your cancellation request immediately and generates a confirmation email.
- Sign in to your Hubstaff account at hubstaff.com
- Use the email address and password associated with your Hubstaff account.
- If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot password" and reset it via email.
- Navigate to your account settings
- Look for a menu icon (three horizontal lines) or "Account" link in the top right corner of the dashboard.
- Select "Settings" or "Account Settings".
- Scroll to the "Subscription" or "Billing" section.
- Locate the "Cancel subscription" or "Downgrade" button
- If you see a "Cancel subscription" button, click it directly.
- If you see "Downgrade to free", click that option instead (this converts your account to the free tier without deleting data).
- Read the cancellation confirmation message carefully, as it will state when your access ends.
- Confirm your cancellation
- Hubstaff will ask why you are leaving; you can skip this or provide feedback.
- Click "Confirm cancellation" or similar final button.
- The dashboard will display a success message and confirmation number.
- Save a screenshot of this confirmation for your records.
- Check your email for a cancellation receipt
- Hubstaff will send a confirmation email to your registered address within 1 hour.
- This email will specify the final billing date and when your subscription ends.
- Keep this email as proof of cancellation.
How to cancel Hubstaff via email if the dashboard method fails
If the cancellation button is missing from your dashboard or the cancellation does not process, contact Hubstaff support by email to escalate your request.
- Compose an email to [email protected]
- Use the email address associated with your Hubstaff account.
- Subject line: "Subscription cancellation request for [your email address]".
- Include the following information in your message
- Your full Hubstaff account email address.
- Your Hubstaff account ID (found in your dashboard under Settings).
- Your current plan tier (Starter, Grow, Team, or Enterprise).
- The date you wish the cancellation to take effect (or "immediately").
- A request for a cancellation confirmation email.
- Example email format
- "Hello, I wish to cancel my Hubstaff subscription effective immediately. My account email is [email protected] and my account ID is 12345678. Please confirm cancellation in writing and advise when billing will cease. Thank you."
- Send the email and monitor your inbox
- Hubstaff typically responds within 24 to 48 hours during Philippine business days.
- The support team will confirm the cancellation and provide a final billing date.
- Save the response email as proof.
- Follow up if you do not receive a reply within 3 business days
- Send a follow-up email referencing your original request.
- If Hubstaff still does not respond, proceed to the DTI complaint process (see "If Hubstaff refuses to cancel" section below).
How to cancel Hubstaff if you subscribed through an app store
If you subscribed to Hubstaff through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you must cancel through that app store, not through the Hubstaff dashboard.
Cancelling an apple app store subscription
- Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac
- Tap your profile icon (usually in the top right corner).
- Select "Subscriptions"
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions tied to your Apple ID.
- Find and tap "Hubstaff"
- Scroll through the list if Hubstaff is not immediately visible.
- Tap "Cancel subscription"
- Apple will confirm the cancellation immediately.
- Your subscription will remain active until the next renewal date, then will not renew.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation
- This serves as proof for your records and for disputes with Apple or Hubstaff if needed.
Cancelling a google play store subscription
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Tap your profile icon (usually in the top right corner).
- Select "Payments and subscriptions", then "Subscriptions"
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions.
- Find and tap "Hubstaff"
- The subscription details page will open.
- Tap "Cancel subscription"
- Google Play will ask you to confirm and may offer a retention discount; decline if you wish to proceed.
- Your subscription will end at the next renewal date.
- Confirm the cancellation and screenshot the result
- Google Play will display a confirmation message and your subscription status will change to "Cancelled".
What happens after you cancel Hubstaff
Understanding the timeline after cancellation helps you avoid surprises and verify that Hubstaff has honoured your request.
Your access and data after cancellation
When you cancel Hubstaff, your paid account remains active until the end of your current billing cycle (usually the end of the month in which you cancelled). You retain full access to your reports, timesheets, and historical data until that date. After the billing cycle ends, you are automatically downgraded to the free tier if you do not delete your account. On the free tier, you can access the previous 7 days of data only. If you want to preserve historical data after cancellation, export your timesheets and reports before the access restrictions take effect.
When you will stop being charged
Hubstaff processes cancellations immediately in the dashboard but only stops billing at your next renewal date. If you subscribed on 15 January for a monthly plan, you are charged on 15 February. If you cancel on 20 February, you will be charged again on 15 March (your final charge) and then access ceases on 16 March. This is standard SaaS practice. If you want your cancellation to take effect sooner, note the exact date in your cancellation email to [email protected] and request an immediate pro-rata refund for unused days.
Refunds and pro-rata credits
Hubstaff does not automatically issue refunds for cancelled subscriptions, even if you cancel mid-cycle. However, you may request a pro-rata refund (a refund for unused days) if you cancel more than 7 days before your renewal date. To request a refund, include this statement in your cancellation email: "I request a pro-rata refund for unused days on my account." Hubstaff will review your request and issue a credit to your original payment method within 5 to 10 business days if approved. If Hubstaff denies the refund without justification, you can escalate to the DTI or file a chargeback with your bank.
If Hubstaff refuses to cancel or keeps billing you
Despite your cancellation request, Hubstaff may continue to charge your card, fail to respond to cancellation emails, or display a technical error preventing you from cancelling through the dashboard. You have a clear path to escalation under Philippine law.
Steps to take if Hubstaff does not honour your cancellation
- Gather all evidence of your cancellation request
- Screenshot of the cancellation confirmation from the dashboard (if successful).
- A copy of the cancellation email you sent to [email protected].
- Hubstaff's response email (or lack thereof).
- Bank or credit card statements showing charges after your cancellation request.
- Contact your bank or credit card company
- Call the customer service number on the back of your card.
- Report the unauthorized charges and explain that you cancelled the subscription but Hubstaff continued billing.
- Request a chargeback for all charges after your cancellation date.
- Your bank will investigate within 30 to 60 days and may reverse the charges.
- File a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)
- Visit the DTI website at dti.gov.ph and navigate to the Consumer Complaint Action Center.
- Alternatively, visit your local DTI office with your evidence.
- File a formal complaint stating that Hubstaff violated the Consumer Act of the Philippines by failing to honour your cancellation request and continuing to bill your card.
- The DTI will send a formal letter to Hubstaff demanding compliance; Hubstaff typically responds within 10 business days.
- If Hubstaff does not comply, the DTI can issue a cease-and-desist order or refer the matter to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) for further action.
How to file a DTI complaint
The DTI's Consumer Complaint Action Center accepts complaints by phone, email, or in person. You do not need a lawyer. Provide your name, contact number, a brief description of the problem, and copies of your evidence (emails, screenshots, bank statements). The DTI will assign your complaint a reference number and contact Hubstaff on your behalf. This process is free and usually resolves within 30 days.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Hubstaff
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few missteps can delay the process or leave you vulnerable to unexpected charges. Being proactive and methodical protects you.
Mistake one: deleting your account instead of cancelling your subscription
If you delete your Hubstaff account from the Settings menu, your login is disabled but your subscription may still be active and billing. Deletion and cancellation are separate actions. Always cancel your subscription first through the "Subscription" or "Billing" section, then delete your account if you wish. If you have already deleted your account, you may not be able to access the dashboard to cancel; email [email protected] immediately with a request to cancel the associated subscription and refund any recent charges.
Mistake two: assuming the free trial has no credit card on file
Hubstaff's free trial does not require a credit card, but if you upgraded to a paid plan during or after the trial, a card is now on file. If you do not cancel the paid subscription before the free trial ends, you will be charged. Check your payment method in the billing section of your account and verify the status: "Free" or "Paid". If it shows "Paid", your cancellation must be processed before the next billing date to avoid a charge.
Mistake three: cancelling through the dashboard and assuming the email never comes
Hubstaff sends a cancellation confirmation email within 1 hour, but it may land in your spam or promotions folder. Check these folders if you do not see the confirmation in your inbox within 2 hours. If the email truly never arrives, assume the dashboard cancellation did not register and send a cancellation email to [email protected] as a backup. Do not rely on the dashboard alone; always get written confirmation.
Mistake four: not noting the exact cancellation date
Hubstaff will state whether your access ends immediately or at the end of your current billing cycle. Read this date carefully. If the cancellation email says "Your access will end on 31 March", you will still be charged for any activity from 1 March to 31 March. If you want the access to end sooner, reply to the cancellation email or contact support and explicitly request an immediate cancellation with a pro-rata refund.
Comparison: Hubstaff alternatives for time tracking
If you are reconsidering cancellation or want to evaluate other options, here are common Hubstaff alternatives used by Philippine teams and freelancers.
| Tool | Starting price (USD/month) | Key strength | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clockify | Free tier available | Most generous free plan; unlimited users | Freelancers and small teams |
| Toggl Track | $10 | Simple UI; excellent reporting | Solo freelancers and agencies |
| Harvest | $12 | Invoicing and expense tracking integrated | Service businesses and consultancies |
| RescueTime | $9 (premium) | Passive tracking; privacy-focused | Individual productivity tracking |
Clockify is particularly popular in the Philippines because its free tier allows unlimited users and time entries, making it ideal for teams that want to reduce costs or test time tracking before investing. Yafee recommends evaluating a free alternative before cancelling Hubstaff, so you can compare workflows and ensure the switch will not disrupt your operations.
