How to cancel AdaptedMind and stop auto-renewal charges in singapore
What AdaptedMind is and why you may want to cancel
AdaptedMind is a United States-based online learning platform that specialises in personalised mathematics and reading lessons for primary school students (kindergarten through grade 8 level). The platform uses adaptive technology to adjust lesson difficulty based on your child's real-time performance, and you access lessons through web browsers or mobile applications. If you have subscribed in Singapore, you are likely paying between SGD 13.50 and SGD 28 per month depending on your plan selection.
You might be ready to cancel if your child has outgrown the curriculum, if progress has plateaued despite consistent use, if the adaptive learning approach does not match your child's learning style, or if the monthly cost no longer aligns with your budget. Whatever your reason for leaving, Yafee guides you through a clean, documented cancellation process that protects your consumer rights under Singapore law.
Core features included in your subscription
Your subscription gives you access to adaptive lessons that adjust to your child's pace, comprehensive progress tracking to monitor improvement over time, and flexible account structures for individual students or families with multiple children. Subscriptions renew automatically each month, and AdaptedMind typically offers a free trial period to new users before charging begins. Understanding what you are paying for ensures you make an informed cancellation decision.
When cancellation makes sense
You should consider cancelling if you notice your child has completed all available content at their level, if the subscription sits unused for weeks, if billing disputes arise, or if you have found a more affordable alternative. Yafee recommends documenting your cancellation reasons in writing, as this evidence strengthens any refund claim or dispute escalation you file later with consumer authorities.
AdaptedMind pricing tiers for singapore users
Before you cancel, understand your exact billing structure so you can verify charges and identify any overages or renewal fees you wish to recover.
Monthly subscription plans and costs
AdaptedMind offers three main subscription tiers, though actual charges in Singapore dollars may vary due to daily currency conversion rates, payment processor fees, and App Store pricing structures. The table below shows typical monthly charges you should expect:
| Plan type |
Approximate monthly cost (SGD) |
What is included |
Best suited for |
| Single subject (basic) |
SGD 13.50 |
One subject only (mathematics or reading) for one student |
Testing the platform |
| Bundle (maths and reading) |
SGD 20-28 |
Both mathematics and reading content for one student |
Comprehensive single-child coverage |
| Family plan |
SGD 20-21 |
Up to five child accounts under one subscription |
Multiple children in your household |
Why your actual bill may differ
AdaptedMind charges in United States dollars from its San Francisco base, so your Singapore bank converts the amount at the exchange rate applicable on your billing date. If you subscribed via the App Store, Apple applies its own pricing tiers and currency conversion, adding variability. If you subscribed via Google Play, a similar currency and regional pricing adjustment applies. Check your latest invoice within your AdaptedMind account dashboard or your bank payment statement to confirm your exact recurring charge, as this figure will be essential when you request a refund after cancellation.
Your consumer rights when cancelling in singapore
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA) sets clear rules about how online services must treat cancellations, billing transparency, and automatic renewal practices, and you have specific legal protections before you proceed.
Legal protections under singapore consumer law
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act does not grant an automatic 14-day cooling-off period for digital subscriptions unless AdaptedMind explicitly offers one in its terms and conditions. However, you have the right to fair dealing and transparent billing. Section 4 of the CPFTA prohibits unfair contract terms and misleading conduct. Consequently, if AdaptedMind's terms are unclear, if auto-renewal language is buried in fine print, or if you are charged after requesting cancellation, you can escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). Yafee strongly recommends keeping all cancellation confirmations, email receipts, screenshots, and bank statements as evidence should you need to file a complaint.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel your subscription at any time, regardless of how much time remains in your billing period. AdaptedMind must honour cancellation requests within a reasonable timeframe (typically 5 to 10 business days). If the company continues charging you after you have clearly requested cancellation in writing, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your bank or credit card provider (a "chargeback") and to file a complaint with CASE. Yafee advises sending your cancellation request via email so you have a timestamped record.
Escalation route if AdaptedMind refuses
If AdaptedMind continues charging you after you have clearly requested cancellation, or if they refuse to stop auto-renewal without justification, file a complaint with CASE (caseonline.sg). Provide proof of your cancellation request (email confirmation, screenshots, or registered mail receipts), your payment evidence (bank or credit card statements), and a summary of your dispute. CASE will attempt to mediate between you and AdaptedMind. If mediation fails, CASE can refer your case for further investigation or legal action. Keep copies of all correspondence.
How to cancel AdaptedMind step by step
Follow this procedural guide to cancel your subscription cleanly and create a documented record of your request, which protects you if a dispute arises.
Step 1: log into your AdaptedMind account
Open a web browser and navigate to the AdaptedMind website (or open the mobile app if you subscribed via App Store or Google Play). Enter your email address and password to access your account dashboard. If you cannot remember your password, click "Forgot Password" and follow the email reset instructions. Ensure you log into the account email address you used at signup, as this is the account tied to your payment method.
Step 2: locate subscription and billing settings
Once logged in, navigate to your account settings or profile menu (usually found in the top right corner or within a hamburger menu). Look for options labelled "Subscription", "Billing", "Payment Method", or "Account Settings". Click on the subscription section to view your current plan, next billing date, and payment method on file. Screenshot this page for your records.
Step 3: access the cancellation option
Within your subscription settings, you should find a button or link labelled "Cancel Subscription", "Manage Subscription", or "End Membership". Click this option. Some platforms require you to confirm your reason for leaving (for example, "too expensive", "not using the service", "found an alternative"); provide honest feedback if prompted, as this information helps AdaptedMind improve. Nevertheless, your reason for cancelling does not affect your right to cancel.
Step 4: confirm cancellation and capture proof
After you submit your cancellation request, AdaptedMind will display a confirmation message on screen. This message typically states a cancellation date (for example, "Your subscription will end on 15 January 2025") or confirms immediate cancellation. Screenshot or photograph this confirmation screen and save it. Note the date shown, as this is your proof of cancellation submission.
Step 5: send a follow-up email to AdaptedMind support
Send a follow-up email to AdaptedMind's customer support team (usually [email protected] or a contact form on their website). Write: "I have cancelled my AdaptedMind subscription on [date] through my account dashboard. My account email is [your email]. Please confirm that my subscription will not renew and that no further charges will be applied after [cancellation date]. Please reply with written confirmation." Attach your screenshot of the cancellation confirmation. This email creates a dated record of your cancellation request, which is essential if a dispute arises.
Step 6: monitor your bank statement
Check your bank or credit card statement in the days following your cancellation to ensure no new charges appear. If AdaptedMind charges you after your stated cancellation date, contact your bank immediately and request a chargeback (a reversal of the unauthorized charge). In your chargeback claim, cite your cancellation request and the email confirmation from support. Yafee recommends setting a calendar reminder for the day after your cancellation date to review your statement.
Refund eligibility and timeline in singapore
AdaptedMind's refund policy depends on the reason for cancellation and when you request the refund within your billing cycle.
When AdaptedMind will refund your money
If you cancel before your next billing date, you typically retain access until the end of your current billing period (you do not receive a prorated refund for unused days in the current month). If you cancel mid-month and wish to recover the balance of that month's payment, you must request a refund explicitly. AdaptedMind may grant a refund if you cancelled within 7 to 14 days of the billing date, depending on their discretionary refund policy. If the company charged you after you requested cancellation, you have a strong case for a full refund of those unauthorized charges under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
How to request a refund
Reply to the confirmation email from AdaptedMind support with your refund request. Write: "I have cancelled my subscription and request a refund of [amount] for the unused portion of my billing period from [date] to [date]. Please process this refund to my original payment method [card ending in xxxx or PayPal account]. Refund should be issued within 10 business days." Include your order number (if visible in your account) and a copy of your cancellation confirmation. Send this email via registered or recorded mail if AdaptedMind does not respond within 5 business days to your first support email.
Refund processing timeline
Once AdaptedMind approves your refund, the company processes it to your original payment method within 7 to 14 business days. If you paid by credit card, the refund appears as a credit on your next statement. If you paid via PayPal, the refund goes to your PayPal account. If you paid via Apple App Store or Google Play, the refund is credited to your app store account (you may need to request this separately from AdaptedMind if your subscription was app-based). Check your statement 2 weeks after AdaptedMind issues the refund to confirm receipt.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation is complete once AdaptedMind confirms that no further charges will occur; however, you should verify that access is truly suspended and take steps to recover any unauthorised charges.
Verification that cancellation is effective
On the cancellation date specified in your confirmation, attempt to log into your AdaptedMind account. You should receive a message stating "Your subscription has ended" or "Access unavailable - please subscribe to continue". If you can still access lessons after the stated cancellation date, contact support immediately and include a screenshot of the access as proof. This demonstrates that AdaptedMind did not actually process your cancellation request, which strengthens any complaint you file with CASE.
Disputing unauthorised charges if they continue
If AdaptedMind charges you after your cancellation date, you have two dispute routes. First, contact your bank or credit card provider and initiate a chargeback by explaining that you cancelled your subscription and the company charged you without consent. Provide your cancellation email and confirmation screenshot as evidence. Second, file a complaint with CASE (Consumers Association of Singapore) at caseonline.sg, detailing all charges, cancellation requests, and your failed attempts to resolve the dispute with the company. Yafee recommends filing the chargeback and the CASE complaint simultaneously to maximize recovery chances.
Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Most cancellation disputes arise not from company refusal but from preventable procedural errors on your side; this section helps you sidestep those traps.
Mistake 1: cancelling via email without account confirmation
Some users email AdaptedMind requesting cancellation without also cancelling through their account dashboard. If you only email support, the company may claim it never received the email or that you must cancel in-app yourself, causing delays. Always cancel through your account settings first (Step 3 above), then send the follow-up email as proof. This creates two cancellation records and removes any excuse for non-compliance.
Mistake 2: not saving proof of cancellation
If you receive a cancellation confirmation on screen but do not screenshot it, you have no evidence of the request if a dispute arises. AdaptedMind's support team may later claim no cancellation was submitted, and your bank will reject a chargeback claim without proof. Screenshot every confirmation page, save all support emails, and print them to PDF. Store copies in a dedicated folder labeled "AdaptedMind Cancellation" on your computer.
Mistake 3: assuming cancellation means no final charge
Many users cancel on day one of a billing cycle and assume they will not be charged again. In reality, if your next billing date is 15 January, and you cancel on 8 January, AdaptedMind will still charge you on 15 January for the month (unless you explicitly request a pro-rata refund). Check your cancellation confirmation for the exact end date. If you cancel mid-cycle and wish to avoid the final charge, request an immediate refund in your follow-up email.
Mistake 4: forgetting to remove saved payment method
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically remove your credit card or payment method from AdaptedMind's system. If you plan to never use AdaptedMind again, delete your saved payment method from your account settings after cancelling. This prevents the company from recharging you if you accidentally reactivate the subscription or if a system error causes an unintended charge.
Mistake 5: not monitoring your statement after cancellation
Set a reminder to check your bank statement 3 to 5 days after your cancellation date. If AdaptedMind charges you again, contact your bank immediately (within 60 days of the charge) to initiate a chargeback. The longer you wait, the harder it is to reverse unauthorized charges. Yafee advises reviewing your statement weekly for the first month after cancellation to catch any anomalies early.

Key differences in adaptive approach
AdaptedMind's strength is its fully adaptive lesson sequencing - the platform adjusts problem difficulty in real time based on your child's answers. IXL Learning offers similar adaption but charges separately for each subject. Khan Academy uses video-based learning without real-time adaption but is free, making it ideal for families testing online learning without financial commitment. Outschool focuses on live instructor-led classes, so you receive human feedback but pay per session rather than a flat monthly fee. Choose based on your child's learning style, budget, and subject needs.
