How to cancel LeetCode in singapore and reclaim your coding budget
Understanding LeetCode and why cancellation matters
LeetCode is an online platform where you solve coding problems, prepare for technical interviews, and build algorithmic fluency. The service operates on a freemium model: the free tier grants access to a core library of problems, while the Premium subscription unlocks company-specific interview questions, advanced filtering tools, and comprehensive solution explanations. Many developers and job-seekers in Singapore subscribe to LeetCode to sharpen their technical skills, but if you no longer actively use the platform, the recurring charge represents avoidable expenditure.
Who uses LeetCode and when to stop
You may have subscribed to LeetCode while preparing for a technical interview, learning a new programming language, or maintaining professional coding competency. Cancellation becomes sensible once you have secured the role you were preparing for, completed your interview preparation cycle, or migrated to an alternative learning platform. At Yafee, we recognise that subscriptions sitting unused drain your finances unnecessarily, and we empower you to take control of your recurring commitments.
Premium features and the cost of inactivity
LeetCode Premium provides curated problem sets by company, detailed editorial solutions, and progress tracking across multiple programming languages. The free tier offers sufficient problems for casual learners but lacks the targeted company preparation that justifies the subscription cost. If you subscribed expecting to use Premium features intensively but have not logged in for several weeks, cancelling immediately prevents further charges and frees capital for tools you genuinely use.
LeetCode pricing in singapore and subscription tiers
LeetCode's pricing structure and billing methods determine your cancellation route and eligibility for refunds.
Official and third-party pricing breakdown
LeetCode publishes official pricing in USD on its website, with monthly and annual payment options. When you convert these amounts to SGD at current exchange rates, monthly Premium typically costs between S$35 and S$50, while annual subscriptions range from S$160 to S$200. You may also encounter resale platforms such as Carousell offering shared or discounted LeetCode access in SGD, but these arrangements violate LeetCode's terms of service and carry substantial risk of account suspension. Similarly, third-party applications like Yeetcode provide LeetCode-style coding practice through separate iOS and Android subscriptions billed via Apple App Store or Google Play, priced between S$9.98 and S$99.98 depending on the subscription tier.

How billing method affects your cancellation process
The platform through which you subscribed determines who processes your cancellation and refund. If you subscribed directly via LeetCode's website using a credit card or PayPal, LeetCode manages your cancellation. Conversely, if you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, Apple or Google manage the subscription lifecycle, not LeetCode. Understanding this distinction is essential to cancelling correctly and avoiding duplicate charges. Yafee has helped thousands of users navigate these platform-specific pathways to ensure seamless cancellation without unexpected complications.
Your consumer rights in singapore and when to escalate
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act establishes your legal standing when you purchase goods and services, including digital subscriptions.
Your legal position under singapore consumer law
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, suppliers must provide accurate descriptions of their services and pricing before you commit. Furthermore, you have the right to receive the service as advertised. If LeetCode charges you after you have cancelled, or if the cancellation fails to take effect despite your clear instructions, you retain the legal right to dispute the charge. The Consumer Association of Singapore (CASE) is the official avenue for escalating disputes if LeetCode does not respond to your cancellation request within 14 days or refuses to refund charges after cancellation.
When to escalate a cancellation dispute
If LeetCode continues charging you after you submit a cancellation request, or if your cancellation portal confirms the action but charges persist, document every interaction-screenshots, email confirmations, transaction records-and lodge a formal complaint with CASE. Consequently, you strengthen your claim and create a record that supports a chargeback with your bank if necessary. Yafee recommends keeping cancellation evidence for at least 90 days to protect against billing disputes.
How to cancel LeetCode by subscription method
The cancellation process depends on where and how you subscribed; follow the steps specific to your subscription platform.
Cancel a direct LeetCode subscription via the website
If you subscribed through LeetCode's official website using a credit card, PayPal, or other payment method, you cancel directly in your account settings.
- Log in to your LeetCode account at leetcode.com using your email and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot password" and follow the email reset link.
- Navigate to your account dashboard and select "Subscription" or "Billing".
- This section displays your current plan, renewal date, and payment method.
- Locate the "Cancel subscription" or "Manage subscription" button and click it.
- LeetCode may prompt you to confirm your decision or offer a discount to retain you; this is optional and does not affect cancellation.
- Confirm the cancellation action on the subsequent screen.
- LeetCode will display a confirmation message and send an email receipt to your registered address.
- Verify that your account status changes to "Free" within 24 hours.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation; Yafee advises retaining this for your records.
Cancel a LeetCode subscription billed through apple app store
If you subscribed to LeetCode through the iOS app and payment is processed via your Apple ID, you must cancel through Apple's App Store settings, not through LeetCode.
- Open the Apple App Store app on your iOS device and tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Ensure you are signed in with the Apple ID that is linked to your LeetCode subscription.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the profile menu.
- This displays all active subscriptions linked to your Apple account.
- Find "LeetCode" in the subscriptions list and tap it.
- The screen shows your renewal date and the amount charged per billing cycle.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm your choice.
- Apple will ask you to confirm; select "Confirm Cancellation" to proceed.
- Verify that Apple displays "Subscription cancelled" and that your LeetCode access ends on the specified date.
- You retain access until the end of the current billing period; you are not immediately locked out.
Cancel a LeetCode subscription via google play store
If you downloaded LeetCode on an Android device and subscribed through Google Play, you cancel through Google Play Store settings.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device and tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Ensure you are signed in with the Google account linked to your subscription.
- Select "Manage subscriptions" or "Payments and subscriptions".
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions on this Google account.
- Tap "LeetCode" to open the subscription details page.
- The page displays your next billing date and the recurring charge amount.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
- Google Play will prompt you to provide feedback about why you are cancelling; this step is optional.
- Confirm the cancellation on the final screen.
- Google Play will send a confirmation email to your registered Google account address.
Cancel yeetcode or other third-party coding apps
If you subscribe to Yeetcode or another third-party coding platform, follow the same process as above for either Apple App Store or Google Play, depending on your device. These apps bill independently and do not connect to LeetCode's account system.
What happens after you cancel LeetCode
Once your cancellation takes effect, your access and billing status change according to a clear timeline.
Immediate changes after cancellation
Upon successful cancellation, your account transitions to Free tier access. You retain full access to LeetCode's core problem library until your current billing period ends. For example, if you cancel on 15 January with a monthly billing cycle that renews on 20 January, you keep Premium access until 20 January, after which your account reverts to Free. Yafee recommends logging in immediately after cancellation to confirm that your subscription status displays as "Free" in your account settings.
Final billing cycle and no further charges
LeetCode will not charge you again after your current billing period expires. If you subscribed monthly and cancelled mid-cycle, you are not entitled to a pro-rata refund for unused days unless LeetCode's specific policy stipulates otherwise. Consequently, you should verify within 3 business days that no new charge appears on your payment method. If a charge does appear after cancellation, contact your bank or credit card issuer to request a chargeback and simultaneously notify LeetCode support with your cancellation confirmation evidence.
Reactivating or downgrading your account
You may reactivate a cancelled Premium subscription at any time by logging into your account and selecting "Upgrade to Premium". Your progress, bookmarks, and problem history remain intact; cancellation does not delete your account data. If you wish to pause rather than permanently cancel, LeetCode does not offer a "pause" feature, so cancellation followed by reactivation is the only option.
Refunds and billing disputes
Refund eligibility depends on when you cancel relative to your billing cycle and the reason for your cancellation request.
When you are entitled to a refund
LeetCode does not automatically refund unused subscription periods; the company bills for the full month or year regardless of usage frequency. However, if you cancel within 3 days of subscribing, you may request a refund under LeetCode's limited trial period policy-this depends on LeetCode's current terms, which you should verify in your account email receipt. If LeetCode failed to deliver the advertised Premium features or if billing was fraudulent, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your bank under consumer protection law.
How to request a refund after cancellation
If you believe you qualify for a refund, contact LeetCode support with evidence of your cancellation and your grounds for dispute. Send your request to their support email (check your account settings or the footer of LeetCode.com), including your username, payment receipt, and a clear explanation of why you are entitled to a refund. Allow 5-7 business days for a response. If LeetCode declines your refund request, escalate the dispute to your bank's dispute resolution team or file a complaint with CASE, the Consumer Association of Singapore. In accordance with the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, CASE will investigate whether LeetCode failed to meet its obligations under the contract.
Chargeback as a last resort
If LeetCode does not respond to your refund request within 14 days or explicitly refuses an unjust charge, you retain the legal right to initiate a chargeback through your bank. Contact your bank's customer service and provide your cancellation confirmation, screenshots of the charge, and any correspondence with LeetCode. Your bank will then dispute the transaction on your behalf, typically resulting in a refund within 30-60 days. Yafee advises attempting negotiation with LeetCode before pursuing a chargeback, as chargebacks can occasionally result in account restrictions.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward, but several pitfalls can delay the process or result in unexpected charges.
Cancelling through the wrong platform
The most frequent error is attempting to cancel a LeetCode subscription through the website when you originally subscribed via Apple App Store or Google Play. These subscriptions live entirely within Apple's or Google's ecosystem; LeetCode's website cannot see or manage them. Consequently, if you do not cancel through the correct platform, the subscription continues to renew and charge you indefinitely. Always verify your original billing receipt to confirm whether the charge came from LeetCode directly, Apple, or Google.
Confusing cancellation with account deletion
Cancelling your subscription does not delete your account. Your username, progress history, bookmarks, and submissions remain on LeetCode indefinitely. If you later decide to reactivate Premium, you re-enter your account to find everything intact. Conversely, if you wish to permanently delete all your data, you must request account deletion separately through LeetCode support, which is an irreversible action.
Assuming immediate access loss after cancellation
You retain Premium access until the end of your current billing cycle, not the moment you click "cancel". If your annual plan renews on 31 December and you cancel on 15 December, you still have Premium access until 31 December. Many users mistakenly believe they lose access immediately and switch to paid alternatives unnecessarily. Check your account status to confirm your access end date.
Failing to save cancellation confirmation
Always take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation screen and retain the email receipt LeetCode sends you. This evidence protects you if a charge appears after cancellation and you need to dispute it with your bank or escalate to CASE. Yafee recommends saving these documents in a dedicated folder for at least 90 days.

Direct contact methods
Visit LeetCode.com and scroll to the footer to find the "Contact Us" or "Support" link. Submit a support ticket describing your cancellation issue, your username, and the date you attempted to cancel. Alternatively, email LeetCode support directly if an email address is published on their website. Include a clear subject line such as "Cancellation failed: charge continues after confirmation" and attach screenshots of your cancellation confirmation. LeetCode typically responds within 5-7 business days during Singapore business hours.
Escalation to the consumer association of singapore
If LeetCode does not respond within 14 days or refuses to honour your cancellation, file a formal complaint with the Consumer Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE is the official consumer protection authority in Singapore and investigates breaches of the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. You may lodge a complaint online via CASE.org.sg or by visiting their office. Provide CASE with all documentation: your cancellation confirmation, screenshots of ongoing charges, and copies of correspondence with LeetCode. CASE will mediate the dispute at no cost to you and, if necessary, refer the matter to relevant enforcement bodies.
Key takeaways and next steps
Cancelling LeetCode is a straightforward process that takes less than five minutes when you follow the correct platform-specific steps outlined above. Whether you subscribed via LeetCode's website, Apple App Store, or Google Play, the cancellation method differs, but the outcome is identical: your Premium access ends at the close of your current billing cycle, no further charges accrue, and your account transitions to Free tier. In accordance with Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, you retain the legal right to dispute any unauthorised charges and escalate disputes to CASE if LeetCode refuses to comply.
Before you cancel, confirm that you no longer require Premium features and verify that your cancellation confirmation appears in your account settings. Document all evidence-screenshots, confirmation emails, and transaction records-and retain them for 90 days in case a billing dispute arises. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions across multiple platforms and jurisdictions, and we understand the importance of clear, step-by-step guidance. If LeetCode charges you after cancellation or if you encounter any obstruction, contact LeetCode support first, and if the issue persists, escalate to CASE without delay. Your decision to cancel is legally protected, and no company may continue to charge you after you have submitted a clear cancellation request.
