Frequently asked questions
Cancel Protonmail: The Right Way
How to cancel Protonmail in singapore and reclaim your privacy
What Protonmail is and why cancellation matters
Protonmail is an encrypted email service that prioritises end-to-end encryption and user privacy. It forms part of the Proton ecosystem, bundling Mail, Calendar, Drive, Pass and VPN into subscription tiers. The service removes advertisements, offers storage upgrades and delivers advanced security features across paid plans. You access Protonmail via web browser or official mobile apps for iOS and Android.
If you have decided Protonmail no longer aligns with your needs, budget or privacy priorities, you have clear legal rights as a Singapore consumer. This guide walks you through every cancellation method, refund entitlement and consumer protection specific to Protonmail in Singapore. Yafee has helped thousands of Singapore users navigate service cancellations with confidence and transparency.
When cancellation makes financial and practical sense
You might cancel Protonmail if you no longer require the encryption features, prefer an alternative email provider, want to reduce monthly subscriptions or find the pricing no longer justifies your usage. Whatever your reason, Singapore law protects your right to cancel and recover unused fees under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
Understanding Protonmail pricing in singapore
Your subscription cost directly affects whether you qualify for a refund and the value you recover upon cancellation.
Current plan costs and what you receive
Protonmail charges in Singapore Dollars and offers tiered pricing based on the features you need. The table below shows the standard plans available to Singapore users.
| Plan name | Monthly cost (SGD) | Annual cost (SGD) | What you receive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Proton Unlimited | S$14.90 | S$130.98 | Full suite: Mail, Calendar, Drive, Pass, VPN, premium support |
| Proton Mail Plus | S$7.99 | S$71.88 | Mail only with 15 GB storage and custom domains |
| Free Proton Mail | Free | Free | Basic Mail with 1 GB storage, no custom domains |
How regional and platform pricing affects your cancellation
Prices vary depending on where you subscribed. If you purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play, regional rates may differ slightly from direct Proton website pricing. Check your invoice or billing statement to confirm your exact SGD charge before requesting a refund. This figure is critical when claiming refunds under Singapore consumer law.
Cancellation methods based on where you subscribed
Your cancellation path depends entirely on which platform processed your payment: Proton's website, Apple App Store or Google Play.
Cancel if you subscribed directly through proton
This method applies if you signed up on proton.me or the official Proton apps and paid with a credit card or bank account directly to Proton AG.
- Open your web browser and navigate to account.proton.me
- Sign in with your Protonmail email address and password
- Click Settings in the left-hand menu
- Select Subscription or Billing (the exact label varies by account type)
- Look for the section showing your active plan and next billing date
- Find your active subscription plan and click Manage subscription or Cancel subscription
- Proton may ask why you are leaving; this feedback is optional
- Read any warnings about feature loss after your billing cycle ends
- Confirm your cancellation by clicking the final confirmation button
- Expect a confirmation email from Proton within minutes to your registered address
Your paid features remain active until the end of your current billing cycle. You do not lose access immediately upon clicking cancel. Screenshot your confirmation email for your records and future reference with Yafee or relevant consumer authorities if a dispute arises.
Cancel if you subscribed through apple app store
If you signed up for Protonmail via your iPhone or iPad using Apple's billing system, you must cancel through Apple, not through Proton directly.
- Open the Settings app on your iOS device
- Tap your name at the top of the screen
- Select Subscriptions
- Tap Protonmail or Proton from the list of active subscriptions
- Tap Cancel subscription at the bottom of the screen
- Confirm your decision when prompted
- Apple will send you a confirmation email within minutes
Alternatively, you can cancel via your Mac or computer by opening the App Store, clicking your account icon, selecting Subscriptions and finding Protonmail in the list. Click Manage and then Cancel subscription. Your access continues until your current billing period ends.
Cancel if you subscribed through google play
If you signed up for Protonmail via an Android device using Google Play's billing system, you must cancel through Google, not through Proton.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner
- Select Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions
- Tap Protonmail or Proton from the list of active subscriptions
- Tap Cancel subscription
- Review the cancellation details and confirm your choice
- Google will send you a confirmation email to your Google account address
Your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. After that date, you lose access to paid features and revert to the free plan if Protonmail offers one.
Your legal position and consumer rights in singapore
As a Singapore consumer, you have specific protections under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and broader contract law principles.
Statutory cancellation rights and cooling-off periods
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act grants you a 14-day cooling-off period for distance contracts entered into after 1 January 2022. This means that if you subscribed to Protonmail online without face-to-face negotiation, you can cancel within 14 calendar days of the contract date and receive a full refund, provided you have not substantially used the service.
However, this cooling-off period does not apply if you requested to begin using the service immediately before the 14-day window expired. Once you confirm you want the service to start straight away, your cancellation rights are limited.
Your legal position
You have the right to: Cancel any Protonmail subscription at any time by following the platform-specific steps above. If you cancel within 14 days of purchase and have not substantially used the service, you can demand a full refund under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. If you cancel after 14 days, refund eligibility depends on Protonmail's terms and the reason for cancellation (for example, service failure or breach of contract by Protonmail).
You must: Provide clear written notice of cancellation and retain evidence of your cancellation request. Document the date, time and method of cancellation. Keep all confirmation emails and screenshots.
In case of dispute: Contact the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or escalate to the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI). Yafee advises saving all correspondence with Protonmail to support your claim.
Refunds, billing cycles and what happens after cancellation
Understanding your refund timeline and post-cancellation access prevents costly surprises.
Refund eligibility and processing timelines
Refund entitlement depends on when you cancel relative to your billing date and how much of the service you have used.
| Scenario | Refund eligibility | Processing time |
|---|---|---|
| Cancel within 14 days, minimal use | Full refund | 5-10 business days |
| Cancel after 14 days, mid-cycle | Pro-rata refund (unused portion only) | 5-10 business days |
| Cancel at end of billing cycle | No refund; service ceases | No payment due |
| Subscription lapsed; reactivate then cancel | Depends on reactivation terms | Contact Proton support |
What happens to your email and data after cancellation
After your paid subscription ends, your Protonmail account transitions to the free plan if one exists. You retain access to your inbox and existing emails, but lose premium features such as custom domains, additional storage and advanced encryption options. Protonmail does not delete your account automatically; however, inactive free accounts may be purged after 12 months of inactivity. Export your emails and data before cancellation if you want to preserve them elsewhere.
When your next payment is due and how to avoid accidental re-billing
Once you cancel, Protonmail stops charging your card from the next billing cycle. If you cancel mid-cycle, no immediate refund occurs; instead, Protonmail credits your account or processes a refund to your original payment method within 5 to 10 business days. Check your bank statement 2 weeks after cancellation to confirm no charge appears. If a charge does appear after you cancelled, contact your bank immediately and request a chargeback while simultaneously escalating to Protonmail support.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancellation is straightforward, but preventable errors can delay refunds or trap you in unwanted charges. Yafee has identified the most frequent pitfalls and how to sidestep them.
Confusing proton mail with proton unlimited
Protonmail is technically a component of the broader Proton ecosystem. If you subscribe to Proton Unlimited, cancelling Mail alone will not stop all charges. You must cancel the entire Proton Unlimited subscription through your settings or billing dashboard. Review your invoice to confirm which product is actually charging your card.
Forgetting to cancel platform-specific subscriptions
If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, cancelling your Proton account on the website does nothing. You must cancel through the platform where you paid. Many users mistakenly think website cancellation stops all charges and are shocked by an unexpected bill. Double-check which platform processed your first payment by reviewing your credit card statement or Protonmail's invoice.
Not requesting a refund explicitly
Simply cancelling your subscription does not automatically trigger a refund if you are outside the 14-day window. Contact Protonmail support via their help portal and explicitly request a refund with your reason. Reference the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act if you believe you qualify. Provide your account email, subscription start date and cancellation date. Yafee recommends sending this request in writing and retaining a copy.
Failing to export your data before cancellation
Once you cancel and revert to a free plan, exporting emails becomes difficult or impossible depending on Protonmail's policies. Export your emails, contacts and calendar entries before your paid subscription ends. Use Protonmail's export tools or third-party IMAP clients to back up your data to your local computer or alternative email provider.
What to do after you cancel Protonmail
Cancellation is not the end of the process; completing these steps protects your account and ensures a clean break.
Verify your cancellation status
Log in to your Protonmail account 2 to 3 days after cancellation and check your billing dashboard. Your subscription status should show as Cancelled or Inactive. If it still shows Active, you may have cancelled a trial period rather than your paid plan. Contact Protonmail support immediately if the status is unclear.
Monitor your bank statements
Check your credit card or bank statement for the next 3 billing cycles after cancellation. If any Protonmail charge appears, contact your bank and report the unauthorised transaction. Simultaneously send Protonmail a formal demand for refund, citing the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
Migrate your email address gradually
Notify your important contacts that your email is changing. Set up mail forwarding from Protonmail to your new email provider if Protonmail allows it. Update your accounts on other services (banking, social media, subscriptions) to your new email address before your Protonmail access expires completely.
Request deletion of your account
If you want Protonmail to delete your account entirely rather than keep it dormant, contact Protonmail support and request permanent account deletion. This is separate from cancellation and may require additional verification. Yafee advises requesting this in writing to create a record of your instruction.
Comparing Protonmail with alternative email providers
Before cancelling, you may want to understand how Protonmail compares to other privacy-focused and mainstream alternatives available to Singapore users.
| Provider | Encryption level | Cost (SGD/month) | Storage | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Protonmail | End-to-end | S$7.99-14.90 | 5-500 GB | Maximum privacy and encryption |
| Tutanota | End-to-end | S$5-12 | 1-100 GB | Budget-conscious privacy users |
| Gmail | Transit encryption | Free, S$9.99+ (Google One) | 15 GB free, 100 GB+ | Widespread compatibility and storage |
| Outlook | Transit encryption | Free, S$9.99+ (Microsoft 365) | 5 GB free, 1 TB+ | Microsoft ecosystem integration |
| Fastmail | Transit encryption | S$5-12 | 2-2000 GB | Business users and custom domains |
Contact information and formal cancellation address
If you require formal written cancellation or wish to lodge a complaint, use the contact details below. Yafee recommends sending all formal correspondence via registered post or email with read receipt enabled to create an audit trail.
Proton AG headquarters and support channels

Final summary: cancelling Protonmail with confidence
Cancelling Protonmail in Singapore is legally straightforward and protected by the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. You have the right to cancel at any time, claim a full refund within 14 days of purchase if you have not substantially used the service, and escalate to CASE if Proton refuses to comply.
Choose the cancellation method that matches where you subscribed: Proton's website, Apple App Store or Google Play. Document every step, export your data, monitor your bank statements and retain all confirmation emails. If disputes arise, contact Protonmail support in writing and escalate to CASE if necessary.
