Cancel Monster: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Monster (Foundit) in singapore: your complete legal guide and step-by-step process
What is Monster and why you might want to cancel
Monster, trading as Foundit in Singapore, operates as an online job search and recruitment platform connecting job seekers with employers across Southeast Asia. The service offers free access to job listings, alongside optional paid premium subscriptions designed to enhance your resume visibility, unlock advanced career tools, and accelerate your job matching process.
You may have signed up for a premium subscription expecting faster job placements or stronger recruiter engagement, only to discover the service underperforms relative to your expectations. Perhaps you have secured employment and no longer require active job search functionality, or you have identified a competing platform better suited to your career objectives. Cancelling your Monster account is a straightforward process, but understanding your rights under Singapore consumer law and your available cancellation methods will protect you from unexpected charges and ensure a clean exit. Yafee has compiled this definitive guide to walk you through every step.
Common reasons to cancel your Monster subscription
You might initiate cancellation because you have successfully landed a job and no longer need recruitment platform access. Others cancel because premium features feel disproportionately expensive relative to tangible results, or because you have migrated to a competitor platform offering superior functionality for your career stage. Some users discover unexpected automatic renewal charges appearing on their billing statements without clear advance notification. Regardless of your reason, understanding the cancellation process prevents unwanted recurring charges and restores control over your subscription and payment method.
Monster's operating context in singapore
Foundit operates in Singapore under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA), which mandates transparency about charges, prohibits misleading representations, and protects you against unfair contract terms. However, Foundit does not maintain a clearly published refund or cancellation policy on its Singapore-facing website, meaning you must contact their support team directly to understand your specific rights regarding cancellation and refund eligibility. Yafee strongly recommends documenting all communications with Monster support, as these records become critical evidence should you need to escalate your complaint to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE).
Your consumer rights in singapore under the consumer protection (Fair trading) act
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act establishes your legal protections when dealing with digital subscription services like Monster.
What the consumer protection (Fair trading) act covers
The CPFTA protects you against misleading or false representations about a service's features, performance, or pricing. If Monster's marketing promised specific job matching rates, recruiter response times, or career advancement outcomes that the service failed to deliver, you have grounds to request a refund or penalty-free cancellation. The Act also requires that automatic renewal charges must be clearly disclosed before you commit to a subscription.
Critically, Singapore does not automatically grant a statutory 14-day cooling-off period for digital services in the manner that applies in the European Union or Australia. However, if you can demonstrate that Monster misrepresented the service, that charges were applied incorrectly, that you did not receive clear notice of renewal terms, or that the subscription breaches a material term, you acquire legal leverage to escalate your complaint and demand remediation.
Your legal position and escalation pathway
Your legal position: You possess the right to fair treatment, accurate information about charges, and transparent cancellation terms under the CPFTA. If Monster refuses to cancel your subscription or process a refund for a demonstrably defective service, you can escalate to CASE, which provides free mediation and dispute resolution.
Begin your escalation by documenting everything: screenshots of all charges, promotional emails, marketing claims made during signup, account statements, and complete correspondence with Monster support. This documentation becomes your evidence should CASE intervention become necessary. If Monster continues to refuse cancellation or refund, you may lodge a formal complaint with CASE, which has statutory authority to investigate unfair trading practices and pressure businesses to honour consumer rights. Yafee advises maintaining copies of this documentation for a minimum of three years.
Cancellation methods: which route applies to your subscription
Your cancellation process depends on which platform or payment method you used when you purchased your Monster subscription.
If you subscribed via the Monster website directly
When you purchase a premium subscription directly through Monster's website using a credit card, debit card, or digital wallet, you must initiate cancellation through your Monster account settings. Log into your account, navigate to your subscription or billing section, and locate the cancellation or "manage subscription" option. Monster typically requires you to confirm cancellation by email or through a confirmation page to prevent accidental termination. Yafee recommends screenshotting your cancellation confirmation, as this serves as proof of your cancellation request date.
If you subscribed via apple app store or google play
If you purchased your Monster subscription through the iOS App Store or Android Google Play Store, you must cancel through the respective app store rather than through Monster's website. Your subscription payment goes directly to Apple or Google, not to Monster, which means Monster cannot cancel your subscription for you. Instead, you must access your App Store or Google Play account settings, locate your subscriptions, find Monster, and cancel directly with the app store. This ensures the app store stops charging your payment method on the renewal date.
If you subscribed via a third-party platform or promotion
Some users subscribe to Monster through partner platforms, promotional codes, or bundled packages. In these cases, contact the third-party platform where you made the original purchase first, as they may handle cancellations independently of Monster's direct systems. If the third party cannot assist, escalate your request to Monster support with proof of your original purchase and payment confirmation. Yafee advises clarifying the subscription source before proceeding with cancellation steps, as this determines which entity must process your request.
Step-by-step cancellation process for each subscription method
This section breaks down the exact procedural steps you must follow to cancel your Monster subscription based on how you subscribed.
Cancelling a Monster website subscription
- Log into your Monster account using your registered email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page and follow the email reset instructions.
- If you cannot access your email, contact Monster support immediately with proof of identity (screenshot of account registration or payment confirmation).
- Navigate to your account settings, typically located in the top-right menu under "My Account" or "Profile Settings".
- Look for a "Subscriptions", "Billing", "Payments", or "Manage Premium" section.
- If you cannot locate this section, use the website search function or contact Monster support for navigation assistance.
- Locate your active subscription and select the "Cancel Subscription" or "End Subscription" button.
- Monster may display a cancellation confirmation page asking you to confirm your decision.
- Do not close this page until you have read and understood any final terms, warnings, or refund eligibility statements.
- Confirm your cancellation by clicking the final confirmation button or responding to a confirmation email Monster sends to your registered email address.
- Check your email inbox and spam folder within five minutes for a confirmation message.
- If you do not receive a confirmation email within two hours, log back into your account and verify that your subscription status now shows "Cancelled" or "Inactive".
- Screenshot or save a copy of your cancellation confirmation page, email, or account status showing cancellation completion.
- Store this documentation in a secure location (email yourself a copy, save to cloud storage, or print).
- This serves as proof of cancellation if you later dispute any charges or need to escalate a complaint.
- Verify that your payment method is no longer charged on the next scheduled billing date (typically 7 to 14 days after cancellation).
- Check your bank statement or credit card transaction history on the expected renewal date.
- If a charge appears after cancellation, contact Monster support immediately with your cancellation confirmation as evidence of your prior request.
Cancelling a Monster subscription purchased through apple app store
- Open the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
- On Android or older iOS versions, navigate to "Settings" then "Subscriptions".
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu that appears.
- This displays all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
- If you do not see Monster listed, your subscription may already be cancelled or inactive.
- Tap on the Monster subscription to view its details.
- Review the renewal date, billing amount, and cancellation options displayed.
- Do not proceed until you have confirmed this is the correct subscription you intend to cancel.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "End Subscription" (exact wording varies by iOS version).
- Apple will ask you to confirm your cancellation decision.
- Review any refund eligibility statements or final warnings before proceeding.
- Confirm your cancellation by selecting "Confirm" or "Yes, Cancel".
- Apple will display a confirmation message confirming your subscription is cancelled.
- The subscription will remain active until the current billing period ends, then will not renew.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation displaying the cancellation date and confirmation message.
- Store this screenshot securely as proof of your cancellation request with Apple.
Cancelling a Monster subscription purchased through google play
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap the profile icon (usually a circle in the top-right corner).
- Select "Manage your Google Account".
- Navigate to the "Payments and subscriptions" section.
- Tap "Subscriptions" to view all active subscriptions linked to your Google account.
- If Monster does not appear, your subscription may already be inactive or cancelled.
- Tap on the Monster subscription to open its details page.
- Verify the billing amount, renewal date, and subscription status before cancelling.

- Screenshot the cancellation confirmation page showing the date and cancellation status.
- Save this image securely as documentation of your cancellation request with Google Play.
Contacting Monster support if cancellation fails
If you cannot locate a cancellation option in your account, if the cancellation button produces an error, or if your subscription continues to renew after you have completed cancellation steps, you must contact Monster support directly. Prepare the following information before contacting them: your registered email address, your account username, your payment method (last four digits of card or Apple/Google account email), and the dates you attempted cancellation. Send this information via email to Monster's support team with a clear subject line: "Request: Cancel subscription and dispute charge". Yafee recommends sending this email as a formal record, as phone calls leave no written evidence should you need to escalate to CASE later.
Refunds and what happens after you cancel
Your refund eligibility depends on your cancellation date, subscription terms, and Singapore consumer law protections.
Standard refund policy and your entitlements
Monster does not publicly advertise a standard refund policy for cancelled subscriptions. However, under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, if you cancel within a reasonable timeframe after discovering the service does not meet the promises made during signup, you may be entitled to a pro-rata refund of unused subscription time. For example, if you paid SGD $50 for a 30-day subscription but cancel after 10 days of use, you may claim a refund for the remaining 20 days (approximately SGD $33.33).
If Monster provided misleading information about features, job matching capabilities, or recruiter visibility that directly caused you to purchase the subscription, you have stronger grounds to demand a full refund. Document the specific marketing claim, the date you saw it, and evidence of how the actual service failed to match that claim. Present this documentation to Monster support with your refund request.
Automatic renewal and preventing future unwanted charges
Monster subscriptions typically renew automatically unless you explicitly cancel before the renewal date. If you cancelled your subscription but Monster continues to charge your payment method, take the following action immediately. First, contact your bank or credit card issuer and dispute the unauthorised charge. Second, contact Monster support with your cancellation confirmation as evidence and request an immediate refund of all charges that occurred after your cancellation date. Third, if Monster refuses the refund, escalate your complaint to CASE with documentation of all charges, your cancellation request, and Monster's response. Yafee advises disputing charges with your bank within 30 days of the unauthorised transaction for optimal resolution chances.
After cancellation: protecting your account and data
After you cancel your subscription, your Monster account remains active unless you explicitly request account deletion. You can still access your resume, job applications, and profile, but you lose access to premium features. If you wish to delete your account entirely, contact Monster support with a formal deletion request. Note that Monster may retain some data for legal and tax compliance purposes, even after account deletion. If you are concerned about your personal data, request a copy of your stored data before deletion by submitting a data access request under the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
Monster pricing and subscription tiers in singapore
Understanding Monster's pricing structure helps you assess whether cancellation or downgrade to a free tier makes financial sense for your situation.
| Subscription tier | Monthly cost (SGD) | Key features | Renewal frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free tier | $0 | Basic job search, standard resume visibility, limited applications per day | N/A (no renewal) |
| Premium (1 month) | $29.99 | Enhanced resume visibility, priority to recruiters, unlimited applications | Monthly automatic renewal |
| Premium (3 months) | $74.99 (SGD $24.99/month) | Enhanced visibility, recruiter priority, career coaching tools | Auto-renews every 3 months |
| Premium (6 months) | $139.99 (SGD $23.33/month) | Full suite of premium tools, dedicated recruiter support, resume reviews | Auto-renews every 6 months |
| Premium annual | $249.99 (SGD $20.83/month) | All premium features, priority support, annual resume review | Auto-renews annually |
If you are considering cancellation purely for cost reasons, upgrading to the annual plan actually offers the best value per month (SGD $20.83 versus SGD $29.99 for month-to-month). However, Yafee recommends committing to an annual plan only if you are confident you will use the service for the full 12 months, as longer commitment periods typically entail stricter refund policies.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Monster
Cancelling your subscription should be straightforward, but small errors can leave you vulnerable to unexpected charges or disputes. Here are the critical mistakes to avoid.
Mistake 1: assuming account deactivation equals subscription cancellation
Many users believe that stopping logging into Monster or hiding their profile prevents charges, but it does not. Your subscription will continue to renew automatically unless you explicitly cancel it through your account settings or contact Monster support. Account deactivation and subscription cancellation are separate actions. Always confirm cancellation by viewing your account status after attempting cancellation, not by simply ceasing to use the service.
Mistake 2: failing to document your cancellation request
If Monster support denies that you ever requested cancellation, your only defence is written evidence. Screenshotting your cancellation confirmation, saving cancellation emails, and documenting the date and time you initiated cancellation protects you from future disputes. Without this documentation, your word stands against Monster's records, which rarely favours the consumer in dispute resolution. Yafee strongly advises taking screenshots before closing any browser tabs or windows following cancellation.
Mistake 3: not checking your bank statement after cancellation
A significant proportion of consumers report being charged after successfully cancelling subscriptions. Always verify your bank or credit card statement 7 to 14 days after cancellation to confirm no renewal charge appears. If an unauthorised charge does appear, contact Monster support immediately with your cancellation confirmation as evidence. If Monster refuses to refund, escalate to your bank or to CASE without delay, as most financial institutions impose strict time limits on disputing unauthorised charges.
Mistake 4: cancelling through the wrong channel if you subscribed via an app store
If you purchased Monster through Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through that same app store, not through Monster's website. Cancelling through Monster's website will not stop your app store charges because the payment relationship exists between you and Apple or Google, not between you and Monster directly. This is a leading cause of unexpected charges after attempted cancellation. Always verify where you purchased your subscription before initiating cancellation.
Preventing future unwanted subscriptions: your checklist before signup
Before you commit to any paid subscription with Monster or similar recruitment platforms, use this checklist to protect yourself legally and financially.
| Checklist item | Action required | Why this matters |
|---|---|---|
| Read cancellation policy in full | Locate and read Monster's cancellation policy before completing payment. Screenshot it. | Establishes your legal baseline for what Monster promises about cancellation and refunds. |
| Confirm automatic renewal terms | Verify the renewal date, amount, and how to cancel before payment. | Prevents surprise charges and establishes your knowledge of renewal terms. |
| Test the service for 3-5 days | Use the premium features actively for a few days before committing long-term. Assess results honestly. | Allows you to request a refund if the service clearly fails to deliver promised functionality within a reasonable trial period. |
| Save your receipt and signup confirmation | Screenshot your payment receipt and signup confirmation email immediately after purchase. | Serves as proof of purchase date and terms if you later dispute charges or seek a refund. |
| Add cancellation date to your calendar | Manually set a phone reminder for one week before your renewal date to review continued usage and cancel if needed. | Gives you advance notice so you can cancel before renewal without relying on reactive responses to charges. |
| Use a dedicated credit card or payment method | If possible, link a secondary credit card to Monster rather than your primary payment method. | Simplifies dispute resolution and makes it easier to track Monster-specific charges in your statements. |
Reviews and user satisfaction with Monster in singapore
Monster's rating in Singapore stands at 4.5 out of 5 stars based on aggregated user reviews across multiple platforms. However, this overall rating masks significant variation in user experience. Satisfied users typically report that Monster successfully connected them with recruiters and offered valuable job leads. Dissatisfied users frequently cite that premium features did not deliver promised results, that recruiter response rates were lower than advertised, and that cancellation support was unresponsive or unhelpful.
The most common complaint centres on unexpected renewal charges appearing after users believed they had cancelled their subscriptions. This reinforces the critical importance of the documentation and verification steps outlined in this guide. If you read negative reviews about a service before signing up and those reviews specifically mention unresponsive support or hidden charges, this signals heightened risk. In such cases, start with the free tier to assess the service's actual performance before committing to paid access. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel unwanted subscriptions by providing clear legal guidance and procedural steps, and Monster cancellations represent a significant portion of these cases.
When to keep your subscription versus when to cancel
This table helps you assess objectively whether your Monster subscription continues to deliver value or whether cancellation makes financial and practical sense.
| Situation | Recommendation | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| You have received multiple qualified job interviews and recruiter outreach in the past 30 days | Consider keeping subscription | Premium features are delivering measurable career advancement outcomes. The subscription cost is likely justified by the value of job opportunities generated. |
| You have not received any recruiter contact in 60+ days despite premium features | Cancel immediately | The service is not delivering on its core promise of enhanced recruiter visibility. You are paying for a service that is not functioning as advertised under Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act standards. |
| You have secured employment and no longer need active job search tools | Cancel and delete account if desired | There is no financial or career benefit to maintaining an active subscription. Terminating your subscription prevents unnecessary recurring charges. |
| You have found a competing job platform that better suits your industry or career level | Cancel Monster and migrate to the alternative | If another platform is demonstrably more effective for your job search, maintaining a duplicate Monster subscription represents wasted expense. |
| You are unsure whether the service is working because you have not actively used it for 2+ weeks | Activate your premium features for a focused 7-day trial; then decide based on concrete results | A brief intensive trial provides clearer data about the service's actual effectiveness than passive observation. Cancel after the trial if results do not justify the cost. |
Contacting Monster and escalation addresses
If you cannot cancel through your online account or if you require formal correspondence with Monster's registered office in Singapore, use the following contact details.
Monster's registered office address in Singapore:
Foundit Pte Ltd
[Carpenter Street, Singapore]
(Registered with ACRA as the official registered office)
For cancellation and billing inquiries, email Monster support with your account details, cancellation request, and relevant payment documentation. Yafee advises using email rather than phone support, as email creates a written record of your request and Monster's response, which becomes critical evidence if escalation to CASE becomes necessary.
If Monster fails to respond to your cancellation request within 10 business days, or if they refuse to cancel or refund without legitimate grounds, escalate your complaint to:
Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE)
Email: [email protected]
Website: www.case.org.sg
Telephone: +65 6100 0315
CASE provides free dispute resolution and mediation services. Submit your complaint with complete documentation of your cancellation request, all communications with Monster, and any unauthorised charges. CASE has statutory authority to investigate unfair trading practices under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and can compel businesses to honour consumer rights or face regulatory action.
Conclusion: take control of your subscription today
Cancelling your Monster subscription protects your financial interest and ensures you retain control over your payment method and recurring charges. You possess clear legal rights under Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, and your cancellation request cannot be refused arbitrarily if the service has failed to deliver on its advertised promises. Follow the procedural steps specific to your subscription channel (Monster website, Apple App Store, or Google Play), document every step of the process, and verify that charges cease within 7 to 14 days of cancellation. If Monster refuses your cancellation request or continues to charge you after you have cancelled, escalate immediately to CASE, which exists precisely to protect consumers in situations like yours.
Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel unwanted subscriptions by providing transparent legal guidance, clear procedural steps, and practical escalation pathways. Whether your issue centres on misleading marketing claims, unexpected renewal charges, or unresponsive support, the framework outlined in this guide equips you with the legal foundation and practical tools to resolve your situation confidently. Do not defer this decision: cancelling today prevents unnecessary charges tomorrow. Take action now using the steps and contact information provided, and document your cancellation confirmation. Your financial security depends on it.
