Frequently asked questions
Cancel Timely: The Right Way to Protect Your Data
How to cancel Timely in singapore: your complete legal guide and step-by-step process
What Timely is and why you might want to cancel
Timely is a cloud-based time-tracking platform that combines automated activity monitoring with artificial intelligence to record work across your devices, generate timesheets, invoices, and productivity reports. Teams and individuals use it to log billable hours, analyse team performance, and create client-ready summaries without manual data entry.
You might cancel Timely if the service no longer aligns with your workflow, you've found a competitor that fits your needs better, your team has reduced in size, or you want to consolidate subscriptions and cut costs. Whatever your reason, Yafee is here to guide you through the cancellation process with legal precision and clarity.
Why proper cancellation matters
Cancelling correctly protects your data, ensures charges stop on your next billing cycle, and creates a clear audit trail if disputes arise later. Timely enforces a strict cancellation channel policy: you must cancel through the platform where you subscribed, or your request will not be processed at all. This guide walks you through every step and flags the critical traps that catch most users.
Timely's pricing structure in singapore dollars
Understanding your current plan helps you decide whether cancellation or downgrading makes financial sense.
Current subscription tiers and costs
| Plan name | Monthly cost (SGD) | Team capacity | Core features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team Basic | S$14.98 | Up to 3 employees | Automated time tracking, basic analytics |
| Team Plus | S$29.98 | Up to 10 employees | Advanced team management, custom reporting |
| Team Unlimited | S$59.98 | Unlimited employees | Full feature suite, priority support |
Pricing and subscription notes
These prices reflect Timely's current web app and app store listings for Singapore-based accounts. If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play Store, your pricing may vary by 5-10% due to platform fees and regional tax adjustments. Timely does not offer mid-cycle refunds or pro-rated credits; downgrading mid-month forfeits unused days without compensation. Contact Timely support before you proceed if you are uncertain whether to cancel or downgrade, so you avoid unexpected loss of access or data.
When to cancel versus when to downgrade or pause
Before you initiate cancellation, evaluate whether another option might serve your needs more cost-effectively.
Reasons to cancel Timely
- You no longer require time tracking for your team or solo practice.
- Timely's feature set does not match your workflow, reporting, or integration requirements.
- You have switched to a competitor with superior integrations, pricing, or automation.
- Your team has downsized and you need fewer active user seats.
- You are reducing discretionary spending and view this subscription as a current luxury.
Alternatives to full cancellation
- Downgrade your plan: Move from Team Plus to Team Basic to reduce monthly spend while retaining core time-tracking functionality and basic reports.
- Request a temporary freeze: Contact Timely support to enquire about a subscription pause or freeze option; many SaaS vendors offer 30-90 day holds without automatic renewal.
- Test a free competitor: Many time-tracking platforms offer limited free tiers; trial one for two weeks before cancelling Timely entirely, so you do not lose historical data unnecessarily.
Your legal position under singapore consumer law
Your right to cancel Timely is governed by the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, which sets out mandatory standards for subscription service contracts in Singapore.
Key consumer protections that apply to your Timely subscription
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act requires that subscription services provide you with a clear, transparent cancellation mechanism and must not impose unreasonable barriers to exit. Timely's Terms of Service state that cancellation requests submitted via email or phone are invalid; only web app-based cancellations are recognized. This restriction is legal provided Timely makes the web app cancellation process accessible, simple, and immediate - which it does.
Furthermore, under Singapore law, you have the right to cancel your subscription at any time before the next renewal date. Timely does not charge early termination fees or penalties; your subscription simply expires on your next billing date after you cancel. You are entitled to use the service until that date without interruption.
Consequently, if Timely refuses to process a valid cancellation request submitted through the web app, or if charges continue after cancellation, you may lodge a complaint with the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS). The CCCS enforces the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and can compel Timely to refund unauthorised charges.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel your Timely subscription at any time without penalty. Your subscription will end on your next scheduled renewal date. No refund applies for unused days in the current billing cycle. If Timely continues to charge you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request through the web app, you may file a complaint with the CCCS, which will investigate and may order a refund or service credit.
How to cancel Timely in singapore: step-by-step for each subscription channel
Timely enforces a strict cancellation rule: you must cancel through the platform where you subscribed. Email, phone, or support-ticket cancellation requests are explicitly not valid under Timely's Terms of Service and will be rejected. This is the most common reason cancellations fail, so follow the exact steps for your subscription type.
Cancel a direct web subscription via the Timely web app
If you subscribed directly through timely.com using a credit card or bank transfer, you must cancel through the Timely web app dashboard.
- Open a web browser and navigate to timely.com.
- Do not use the mobile app; the web app provides the only valid cancellation route.
- Log in with your registered email address and password.
- Click on your profile icon or account name in the top-right corner of the dashboard.
- Select "Account Settings" or "Subscription Settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Locate the "Billing" or "Subscription" section within Account Settings.
- This section displays your current plan name, renewal date, and payment method.
- Click the "Manage Subscription" or "Cancel Plan" button.
- Timely may display a confirmation dialog explaining that your subscription will end on your next renewal date.
- Read this confirmation carefully to confirm the exact cancellation date.
- Confirm the cancellation by clicking "Yes, cancel my subscription" or "Confirm cancellation."
- Timely will generate a confirmation message on screen and send you a cancellation confirmation email within 5 minutes.
- Save or print this confirmation for your records.
Cancel an apple app store subscription
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store (iOS), you must manage and cancel your subscription through Apple's own subscription management portal, not through Timely's web app.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Navigate to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions.
- Locate Timely in your active subscriptions list.
- If Timely does not appear, scroll down to the "Expired Subscriptions" section to confirm it is already cancelled.
- Tap on Timely to open the subscription details page.
- This page shows your renewal date, price, and cancellation option.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
- Apple will ask you to confirm your cancellation reason (optional) and display your final renewal date.
- Tap "Confirm" or "Cancel Subscription" again to finalize.
- You will receive an email confirmation from Apple within 2-5 minutes.
- Keep this email as proof of cancellation for your records.
- Your access to Timely continues until your next renewal date; you will not lose data immediately.
Cancel a google play store subscription
If you subscribed through Google Play Store (Android), you cancel through Google Play's subscription management interface, not through Timely's app.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner and select "Manage your Google Account."
- Navigate to the "Subscriptions" tab in Google Account settings.
- A list of all active subscriptions will appear.
- Find and tap Timely in the subscriptions list.
- If Timely does not appear, it may already be cancelled; scroll to "Expired" or "Cancelled" to verify.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" or the trash/delete icon.
- Google Play will display a confirmation dialog with your next renewal date and final access date.
- Tap "Yes, cancel" or "Confirm" to process the cancellation.
- You will receive a cancellation confirmation email from Google Play within 2-5 minutes.
- Timely will remain accessible until your subscription's next renewal date; no immediate data loss occurs.
- Save the confirmation email as proof of cancellation.
What happens after you cancel and how to protect your data
Cancellation takes effect immediately in your account, but your access and data remain intact until your next billing date. Understand the timeline and safeguard your historical time entries before access is lost.
Your access and data timeline after cancellation
Once you submit a valid cancellation request through the correct channel, Timely's system marks your subscription as "cancelled" or "pending expiry." You retain full access to all features, data, and reports until the end of your current billing cycle. On your renewal date, Timely will not charge your payment method, and access will be revoked. Any data remaining in your account after access is revoked is typically retained for 90 days before being permanently deleted, though Timely's retention policy may vary. Consequently, you should export or backup all critical time-tracking data before your final access date.
Export your data before the cancellation date
- Log in to your Timely account via the web app at least one week before your renewal date.
- Do not wait until the last day; system load and export delays can extend the process.
- Navigate to "Reports" or "Data Export" in the main menu.
- Look for options to export timesheets, invoices, or raw activity logs.
- Select the date range for your export (typically the full period you have been using Timely).
- Choose CSV or PDF format depending on your needs.
- Download the export file to your computer and store it securely.
- Verify the file contains all expected data before your access expires.
- If Timely does not offer a self-service export tool, contact Timely support in writing at least two weeks before your renewal date and request a data export.
- Document the date and time of your request in case you need to escalate to the CCCS later.
Refunds and how timely's no-refund policy complies with singapore law
Timely does not issue refunds for unused days in your current billing cycle, and this policy is lawful under Singapore consumer law provided you are informed clearly before purchase.
Timely's refund policy and your options
Timely's Terms of Service explicitly state that subscriptions are non-refundable and that cancellation takes effect on your next renewal date, not immediately. This means if you cancel on day 15 of a 30-day billing cycle, you forfeit the remaining 15 days of access; no credit or refund applies. Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, this policy is enforceable because Timely discloses it clearly in the terms you accept at purchase.
Nevertheless, Singapore law does provide a 14-day cooling-off period for certain distance sales (online or telephone purchases). If you purchased your Timely subscription less than 14 days ago and your billing cycle has not yet started, you may be entitled to a refund if you exercise this right correctly. You must submit a written cancellation notice to Timely within 14 days of purchase, clearly stating that you are cancelling under the cooling-off period. Contact Timely support in writing (email) with the subject line "14-Day Cooling-Off Period Cancellation Request" and include your account email, subscription plan, and purchase date. Keep a copy of your email and Timely's response as proof. If Timely refuses to refund, you may file a complaint with the CCCS.
Refund scenarios and outcomes
| Scenario | Refund eligibility | Action required |
|---|---|---|
| Cancelled within 14 days of first purchase | Yes, full refund | Email Timely citing cooling-off period; include proof of purchase date |
| Cancelled after 14 days, before next renewal | No refund for unused days | Cancellation processed; access ends on renewal date |
| Cancelled mid-cycle, billing already occurred | No refund; credit to next billing possible (rare) | Contact Timely support and request goodwill credit; escalate to CCCS if refused |
| Duplicate or erroneous charges after cancellation | Yes, full refund of erroneous charge | Email Timely with proof of cancellation; file CCCS complaint if unresolved within 14 days |
Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
Cancellation is straightforward, but a handful of missteps can derail your request or leave you charged for another month. Stay alert and follow these warnings.
Mistake 1: submitting a cancellation request via email or phone
Timely's Terms of Service explicitly state that email, phone, or support-ticket cancellations are invalid and will not be processed. Many users email support thinking this is faster or safer than using the app; it is not. Your cancellation request will be ignored or rejected, and charges will continue. Always use the web app or app store subscription portal to cancel.
Mistake 2: confusing cancellation with pause or downgrade
If you contact Timely support and ask to "pause" or "pause billing," your request may be interpreted as a downgrade or placed on a support queue without formal action. Pause options are not guaranteed and may not be available on your plan. If you want to stop charges immediately, cancellation (not pause) is your only guaranteed route. Use the exact wording: "I want to cancel my subscription."
Mistake 3: cancelling in the mobile app instead of the web app
Timely's mobile app (iOS or Android) does not have a built-in cancellation function. If you attempt to cancel on mobile, you may see a "Contact support" button instead of a "Cancel" button. Do not click it; open a web browser and log into timely.com instead. The web app is the only valid cancellation channel for direct subscriptions.
Mistake 4: not saving your cancellation confirmation
After you cancel, Timely displays an on-screen confirmation and sends a confirmation email. Many users close the browser or delete the email without saving it. If Timely charges you after cancellation, you will need proof that you cancelled. Save the confirmation message and email in a folder labeled "Timely Cancellation" on your computer or cloud storage.
Mistake 5: cancelling with only days left in your billing cycle
If your renewal date is tomorrow and you cancel today, Timely still will not refund unused days. You will lose access tomorrow and no credit will apply. If you want to use the service for another month, cancel exactly one day before your planned exit date, not days earlier. This maximizes the value of your final payment.
How to verify your cancellation and check cancellation status
After you submit a cancellation request, verify that it was accepted and track your access expiry date to confirm the process is working correctly.
Check cancellation status on the web app
- Log into your Timely account at timely.com using a web browser.
- Do not use the mobile app for status checks; the web app provides the most current information.
- Navigate to Account Settings > Billing or Subscription.
- Your subscription status should display as "Active," "Expiring," or "Cancelled."
- If it shows "Active" after you cancelled, the cancellation was not processed; repeat the cancellation steps.
- Look for your next renewal or expiry date.
- This date should match the date shown in your cancellation confirmation email.
- If the dates do not match, contact Timely support immediately with a screenshot of both confirmations.
- Check your billing history to ensure no charges occurred after your cancellation date.
- If you see a charge dated after your cancellation, take a screenshot and contact Timely in writing to request a refund.
Check your app store subscription status
If you subscribed via Apple App Store or Google Play, verify cancellation in the app store's subscription portal, not in the Timely app.
- Apple: Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions. Timely should show "Expires" with your final date, or appear under "Expired Subscriptions."
- Google Play: Play Store > Profile > Subscriptions. Timely should show "Cancelled" or no longer appear in active subscriptions.
What to do if Timely continues charging you after cancellation
If your payment method is charged after you have submitted a valid cancellation request, act promptly to recover the funds and escalate the dispute.
Step 1: gather evidence of your cancellation
- Retrieve your cancellation confirmation email from Timely or Apple/Google Play.
- If you cannot find the email, log into your account and take a screenshot of your subscription status showing "Cancelled" or "Expiring."
- Screenshot your payment history showing the erroneous charge and its date.
- Include the amount, transaction ID, and timestamp.
- Document the date you submitted your cancellation request if different from the confirmation date.
- Write down the exact steps you followed (web app, app store, etc.) for your written complaint.
Step 2: contact Timely support with written evidence
- Email Timely support at [email protected] or via the in-app support form.
- Use the subject line: "Refund request: erroneous charge dated [date] after cancellation."
- Provide your cancellation confirmation email, screenshots of your subscription status, and payment proof.
- Write a clear, factual summary: "I cancelled my Timely subscription on [date]. My confirmation number is [X]. I was charged SGD [amount] on [date] after this cancellation. I request a full refund to my original payment method."
- Request a response within 7 calendar days.
- If Timely does not respond or refuses to refund, proceed to step 3.
Step 3: file a dispute with your bank or payment provider
- Contact your credit card issuer, bank, or PayPal (whichever processed the charge) and explain that you were charged for a service after cancellation.
- Provide your cancellation confirmation and all correspondence with Timely as evidence.
- Request a "chargeback" (credit card) or "dispute resolution" (bank).
- Your bank will open a dispute case and contact Timely to recover the funds.
- This process typically takes 30-60 days.
Step 4: escalate to the CCCS if Timely refuses
- File a complaint with the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) at www.cccs.gov.sg.
- Include your cancellation confirmation, all emails to Timely, bank dispute evidence, and a summary of dates and amounts.
- The CCCS will investigate Timely's conduct under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
- If the CCCS finds Timely breached the Act, it can compel Timely to refund you plus interest and compensation for costs.

Summary: cancel Timely with confidence using yafee
Cancelling Timely is a straightforward process if you follow the correct channel: use the web app for direct subscriptions, or use your app store's subscription manager for mobile subscriptions. Email and phone requests are invalid and will be ignored.

You retain full access until your renewal date, so export any critical data before then.
If Timely continues to charge you after cancellation, gather your confirmation evidence and escalate the dispute to your bank, then to the CCCS if necessary.
