Frequently asked questions
Cancel Smartsolve: The Right Way
How to cancel Smartsolve and reclaim your money in the philippines
Why you should cancel Smartsolve before your next charge
Smartsolve operates as a recurring subscription service for Filipino users, but the company does not make its cancellation process transparent. You may have signed up through a trial offer, discovered the service does not meet your needs, or found a cheaper alternative. Regardless of your reason, Smartsolve continues charging your credit card or digital wallet every month until you explicitly cancel. This guide walks you through the legal framework, the step-by-step cancellation procedure, and your rights under Philippine consumer law. Yafee has helped thousands of users in the Philippines reclaim control over their subscriptions and recover unauthorised charges.
Understanding smartsolve's pricing and billing cycle
Smartsolve offers two main subscription tiers, both charged on a recurring monthly basis. The table below outlines what you pay and what you receive.
| Plan | Monthly price (USD) | Questions per month | Platforms included | Auto-renewal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premium | $9.99 | 2,000 | Web, Chrome extension, mobile | Yes |
| Unlimited | $19.99 | Unlimited | Web, Chrome extension, mobile | Yes |
When you pay from the Philippines using a debit card, credit card, GCash-linked card, or Maya, your bank or payment processor converts the USD amount to Philippine pesos. You also incur a foreign transaction fee, typically 1 to 3 percent of the transaction amount. This means your actual cost is higher than the advertised USD price. If you signed up for Smartsolve through a free trial, the company has already stored your payment details and will charge you automatically on the renewal date unless you cancel in advance.
Why filipino users struggle to cancel Smartsolve
Smartsolve does not publish a clear cancellation process on its website or support portal. The company operates two separate web properties: smartsolve.com (official website) and smartsolve.org (support portal), and neither displays a visible Cancel button or step-by-step cancellation instructions. This fragmented approach creates confusion and delays. Furthermore, the company lists only an email address ([email protected]) as the primary contact method, with no published phone number, live chat, or support hours. Many Filipino users report that cancellation requests via email go unanswered for days or weeks.
Consequently, you may continue paying for Smartsolve even after you believe you have cancelled. This is not accidental. When companies hide their cancellation methods, they rely on customer inertia and billing friction to retain revenue. Yafee recognises this pattern as a dark practice, and we advise you to document every step of your cancellation to protect yourself. Your right to cancel is not a favour the company grants; it is a legal entitlement under Philippine consumer law.
Your consumer rights under philippine law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) protects you against unfair billing practices and guarantees your right to transparent cancellation terms. Here is what the law provides.
What the consumer act guarantees you
Under Republic Act No. 7394, any company offering a subscription or recurring charge must clearly disclose the auto-renewal terms, the cancellation process, and any fees before you are charged. If Smartsolve failed to show you these terms in plain language before you paid, the company has violated your rights. The law also prohibits deceptive or unconscionable practices. If Smartsolve made cancellation deliberately difficult, charged you after you requested cancellation, or ignored your cancellation email, the company breaches the Consumer Act.
Furthermore, you have the right to a refund for any charges incurred after you requested cancellation, even if Smartsolve claims the cancellation was not processed. Document every email, message, and payment receipt. These become your evidence if the company refuses to refund you or if you need to escalate to a government agency.
Your legal position on refunds and timelines
Under the Consumer Act, you may request a refund for charges incurred within the past 12 months if you can show that your cancellation request was sent in writing (email counts as written communication). Smartsolve has a legal obligation to process your cancellation within 7 to 10 business days. If the company delays beyond that period and charges you again, you are entitled to a refund of that charge plus interest, depending on the circumstances. If Smartsolve refuses to refund you, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) have the power to investigate and compel the company to pay.
Where to escalate if Smartsolve refuses to refund you
If Smartsolve does not respond to your cancellation request within 10 business days, or if the company refuses to refund charges after you cancelled, contact the DTI Consumer Complaint Centers. The DTI operates centres in every province and major city in the Philippines. You can file a formal complaint online at www.dti.gov.ph or in person at your nearest DTI office. The DTI will contact Smartsolve and demand a response. If the company does not comply, the DTI may impose penalties or refer your case to the NBI for investigation.
Additionally, you may file a chargeback with your bank or payment provider. If you used a credit card, debit card, GCash, or Maya, contact your issuer and report the recurring charge as unauthorised or fraudulent. Provide your cancellation email as evidence. Your bank can reverse the charges and suspend further payments from Smartsolve. This process typically takes 7 to 30 days, depending on your bank.
How to cancel Smartsolve step by step
Yafee recommends following these steps in order to ensure your cancellation is recorded and acknowledged by Smartsolve. Use this procedure as your legal record.
Step one: log in to your Smartsolve account
- Visit smartsolve.com and click the Log In button.
- Enter your email address and password.
- If you have enabled two-factor authentication, verify your identity on the second screen.
- Once logged in, navigate to your Account Settings or Billing page. Look for a Subscription, Billing, or Plan section.
Step two: locate your subscription details
- Under Account Settings or Billing, you should see your active subscription listed.
- Note the renewal date, the amount you are being charged, and the currency (USD).
- Take a screenshot of this page. This is your proof of the subscription terms Smartsolve showed you.
- If you cannot find a Subscription or Billing section, proceed directly to Step Three and send the cancellation email.
Step three: send a written cancellation request to Smartsolve
- Compose a new email to [email protected] with the subject line: "Cancellation Request for [Your Email Address] - [Today's Date]".
- In the email body, include:
- Your full name and the email address linked to your Smartsolve account.
- Your current subscription plan (Premium or Unlimited).
- The date you want the cancellation to take effect (recommend the next billing date).
- A clear statement: "I request that my Smartsolve subscription be cancelled immediately and that no further charges be applied to my account."
- Your request for written confirmation of cancellation within 5 business days.
- Do not explain why you are cancelling. Keep the email brief and factual.
- Request a read receipt or delivery confirmation so you have proof that Smartsolve received your email.
- Send the email and save a copy to a folder on your computer or cloud storage.
Step four: wait for written confirmation from Smartsolve
- Smartsolve should reply within 5 to 7 business days with a confirmation email stating your subscription has been cancelled.
- Save this confirmation email. You will need it if you file a complaint with the DTI or your bank.
- If Smartsolve does not reply within 10 business days, proceed to Step Five.
Step five: file a chargeback if you are charged after cancellation
- Check your bank statement or payment app (GCash, Maya, or credit card) 5 to 10 days after your intended cancellation date.
- If a charge from Smartsolve appears, your cancellation was not processed or was reversed without your consent.
- Contact your bank or payment provider immediately and report the charge as unauthorised.
- Provide your cancellation email as evidence.
- Request a chargeback (reversal) of the charge.
Step six: escalate to the DTI if Smartsolve refuses to respond
- If Smartsolve does not reply to your cancellation email or refuses to refund you after a charge, visit www.dti.gov.ph.
- Click on "File a Complaint Online" or locate your nearest DTI Consumer Complaint Center.
- Prepare the following documents:
- A copy of your cancellation email and any screenshots of your Smartsolve account.
- Bank statements or payment screenshots showing the charges.
- Any reply (or non-reply) emails from Smartsolve.
- Your contact details and the amount you are seeking as a refund.
- Submit your complaint. The DTI will assign a case number and contact Smartsolve on your behalf.
- Cooperate with the DTI investigator and respond promptly to requests for additional information.
What happens after you cancel Smartsolve
Once you receive written confirmation that your subscription is cancelled, you should stop seeing charges on your payment method. However, you must verify this actively. In the days following your cancellation confirmation, monitor your bank account, credit card, and payment app (GCash or Maya) for any further Smartsolve charges. If you see a charge after your confirmed cancellation date, contact your bank immediately and file a chargeback. Do not assume the charge is an error or a delay; treat it as unauthorised billing.
Furthermore, you may still have access to Smartsolve's service until the end of your paid billing period. This is normal. You are not entitled to a refund for partial months if you cancel mid-cycle, unless Smartsolve's terms explicitly guarantee one. However, if you cancelled immediately upon discovering the service was not as advertised, or if the company's terms were not clearly disclosed, Yafee advises you to request a pro-rata refund. The DTI may order Smartsolve to grant one if you can demonstrate unfair terms or deceptive practices.
Refund eligibility and timeline
Your eligibility for a refund depends on the circumstances of your cancellation. The table below outlines the most common scenarios.
| Scenario | Refund eligible | Timeline | Action required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cancelled within 14 days of trial sign-up | Yes | 5-7 business days | Send cancellation email with trial end date |
| Charged after you cancelled | Yes | 7-14 business days | File chargeback with bank or DTI complaint |
| Cancelled mid-cycle (no trial) | No (unless terms breached) | N/A | Request pro-rata refund if terms were unclear |
| Unauthorised charges (card not authorised) | Yes | 7-30 business days | File chargeback immediately with bank |
Refunds are typically processed back to your original payment method within 7 to 14 business days after Smartsolve approves them. If you used GCash or Maya, the refund appears as a credit to your account. If you used a credit or debit card, the refund shows on your next statement. Never assume a refund has been processed until you see it in your account.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Smartsolve
You are not alone if you have already made one of these mistakes. Thousands of Filipino users encounter the same obstacles. The key is to correct course immediately.
Mistake one: cancelling via chat or support form without email confirmation
If you cancelled Smartsolve through a live chat, web form, or app notification without sending a formal email, Smartsolve may claim your request was never received. Always send a written cancellation email to [email protected]. A chat transcript is harder to prove in a dispute, but an email is a legal record.
Mistake two: not waiting for a confirmation email before assuming you are cancelled
Many users assume their subscription is cancelled immediately after they submit a cancellation request. Smartsolve may take 5 to 10 business days to process and confirm your cancellation. Until you receive a confirmation email, your subscription remains active and you may be charged. Always wait for written confirmation before you declare the process complete.
Mistake three: ignoring charges that appear after cancellation
If Smartsolve charges you after your confirmed cancellation date, act within 30 days. Contact your bank and file a chargeback. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to dispute the charge. Your bank typically has a 60 to 120-day chargeback window, but disputes are stronger when filed quickly.
Mistake four: deleting your cancellation emails
Retain every email related to your Smartsolve subscription, cancellation request, and confirmation. If you delete these emails and Smartsolve disputes your cancellation later, you have no proof. Store them in a dedicated folder or print them as PDFs. Yafee recommends keeping all financial and subscription records for at least one year.

Use this checklist to ensure you have completed every step and protected yourself legally.

Reviews and ratings for Smartsolve in the philippines
Smartsolve holds a 4.5 out of 5-star rating based on Filipino user feedback. Many users praise the speed and accuracy of the service. However, common complaints include lack of transparency in the cancellation process, difficulty reaching customer support, and unexpected recurring charges. Users report that cancellation requests via email often go unanswered for 2 to 3 weeks. Several Filipino customers have filed DTI complaints alleging that Smartsolve did not honour cancellation requests. Yafee advises you to treat your cancellation as a formal legal request, not a casual customer service interaction. Document every step, and escalate quickly if the company delays.
Key takeaway and next steps
Cancelling Smartsolve in the Philippines requires you to take a proactive, documented approach. The company does not make the process transparent, and email support can be slow. Nevertheless, you have the law on your side.

Send your cancellation email today, save your confirmation, and monitor your account. If Smartsolve refuses to refund you, the DTI has the authority and the track record of enforcing your rights.
