How to cancel CamScanner in singapore and take control of your subscription
What CamScanner is and why cancellation matters
CamScanner is a mobile document scanning application that converts photographs of physical papers into digital PDFs or searchable images. The app captures documents directly from your phone camera, applies automatic edge detection and enhancement, and stores everything in cloud-based folders for quick retrieval. Many professionals and students find genuine value in the tool for occasional scanning tasks. However, subscription costs accumulate rapidly, particularly when you sign up for a trial period and forget to cancel before auto-renewal kicks in.
Yafee helps thousands of Singapore-based consumers cancel unwanted subscriptions each month, and CamScanner appears frequently on that list. The application offers a free tier with basic scanning capabilities, but premium tiers lock advanced features-including optical character recognition (OCR), high-quality exports, and unlimited cloud storage-behind a paywall. If you have concluded that these paid features no longer justify the monthly charge, Yafee provides you with the legal framework and step-by-step instructions to cancel safely and reclaim your funds.
Core features restricted to premium plans
CamScanner's free version permits document scanning and local storage only. Premium subscribers gain access to collaboration tools, batch processing of multiple documents, and unlimited synchronisation across devices. Pricing varies by region and platform, with plans ranging from weekly to annual commitments. For occasional users, the premium cost typically exceeds the tangible benefit, making cancellation the economically rational choice.
How subscription costs accumulate without notice
CamScanner employs a tiered pricing structure with weekly, monthly, and yearly options. Weekly plans appear to carry minimal commitment, but they renew automatically every seven days. Many subscribers overlook repeated charges until they review their bank or credit card statements weeks later. Yafee exists to help you halt these automatic renewals and regain control of your finances.
CamScanner pricing in singapore and your current subscription plan
Below are the current subscription rates for CamScanner on the Singapore App Store and Google Play Store, effective from early 2025 onwards, all displayed in Singapore Dollars (SGD).

The weekly plan carries the highest per-day cost but locks you into the shortest commitment period. If you enrolled in a trial and failed to cancel within the trial window, your account now charges every seven days until you take action. Yafee recommends identifying your current subscription type first, as cancellation procedures differ depending on whether you subscribed through Apple, Google, or CamScanner's web platform.
Your consumer rights when cancelling CamScanner
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act provides robust legal protection when you terminate subscription services. You possess explicit rights to cancel before auto-renewal charges are processed, and the law mandates that merchants must provide cancellation mechanisms as straightforward as the signup process.
What singapore law guarantees you
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, CamScanner must offer a clear, accessible cancellation mechanism. You retain the right to terminate your subscription contract without unreasonable obstacles, and the company cannot deliberately obscure the cancellation process or impose artificial barriers to withdrawal. The legislation places a positive duty on merchants to facilitate cancellation. Should CamScanner refuse to process your cancellation or introduce unjustifiable delays, you can escalate your complaint to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or request intervention from the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS).
Your legal position
You are legally entitled to cancel your CamScanner subscription at any time before the next renewal charge. The company cannot impose penalties, restrictions, or extended waiting periods for cancellation. If you cancelled successfully but charges continue to appear on your account, you have grounds to dispute the transaction with your bank or payment provider and claim a refund under consumer protection law. Yafee advises retaining cancellation confirmation emails or screenshots as evidence of your successful withdrawal.
When you qualify for a refund
If CamScanner charged your account after you initiated cancellation, or if you cancelled within 14 days of a trial signup, Singapore consumer law entitles you to a full refund. Many app stores, including Apple and Google, enforce automated refund windows. If CamScanner refuses to process a refund you believe is rightful, contact CASE, which handles consumer disputes at no cost to you. Provide your payment records, cancellation confirmation, and the original transaction date.
CamScanner operates across three separate ecosystems, and your cancellation method depends entirely on where you enrolled. Identify your platform first by reviewing your email receipt or payment history.
Cancellation via apple (iOS devices)
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, you must cancel within Apple's subscription management system, not directly within CamScanner.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name and Apple ID profile at the top of the screen.
- Tap "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- You will see a list of all active app subscriptions.
- Select "CamScanner" from the list.
- If CamScanner does not appear, you do not hold an active Apple subscription for this app.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
- You will receive a confirmation prompt asking you to confirm cancellation.
- Confirm your cancellation choice.
- Apple will email you a cancellation confirmation immediately.
Your access to premium features ceases at the end of your current billing cycle. You retain access to all paid features until that renewal date passes, and no further charges will be deducted.
Cancellation via google play store (Android devices)
If you subscribed through Google Play, you manage your subscription directly within the Google Play Store app or website.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap the profile icon (circular avatar) in the top right corner.
- Tap "Payments and subscriptions" from the menu.
- This opens your subscription management dashboard.
- Tap "Subscriptions" to view all active subscriptions.
- CamScanner will appear in the list if you hold an active Google Play subscription.
- Select "CamScanner" from the visible subscriptions.
- This opens the subscription details page.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" at the bottom of the page.
- Google Play will ask you to confirm your cancellation decision.
- Confirm cancellation by tapping "Cancel subscription" again.
- Google will send you a cancellation confirmation email within minutes.
Your premium access ends when your current billing period expires. Google Play does not charge you further after you confirm cancellation, though you retain full premium features until the renewal date arrives.
Cancellation via CamScanner's web platform
If you subscribed through CamScanner's official website using a credit card or payment method not tied to Apple or Google, follow this process.
- Visit the CamScanner website and log into your account using your registered email and password.
- Navigate to the account settings or "My Account" section from the main menu.
- Locate the "Subscriptions" or "Billing" tab.
- This section displays all active subscriptions linked to your account.
- Identify the active CamScanner subscription plan.
- Note the renewal date and current payment method.
- Select the subscription and click "Cancel" or "Manage subscription".
- CamScanner will display a confirmation page outlining the cancellation terms.
- Click "Confirm cancellation" to finalize your withdrawal.
- You will receive an email confirmation from CamScanner's support system.
Retain this confirmation email as evidence of your cancellation. If CamScanner charges your account after this step, you have documented proof that you cancelled within the legal timeframe.
Cancellation takes effect within minutes across all platforms. You do not lose premium features during your paid period; instead, your account reverts to the free tier when the current billing cycle ends. Yafee recommends marking your renewal date in a calendar so you can verify that no charge appears on that date.
Monitor your bank account and payment method
After cancellation, check your bank or credit card statement on your next renewal date to confirm that CamScanner has not charged you. If a charge appears after you cancelled, contact your bank immediately and dispute the transaction. Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Your bank can reverse the charge and issue a refund within 5 to 10 business days under Singapore's consumer protection framework.
Document your cancellation evidence
Screenshot or save your cancellation confirmation email. Yafee strongly advises keeping these records for at least three months. If a dispute arises, this documentation allows you to escalate to CASE or your payment provider without delay. Do not delete your email account or lose access to these messages.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling CamScanner
Cancellation is straightforward when you follow the correct steps, and you should never feel anxious about the process. However, several common pitfalls can undermine a successful cancellation. Understanding these traps protects your money and prevents frustration.
Deleting the app without cancelling the subscription
Removing CamScanner from your phone does not cancel your subscription. The app and the subscription are separate entities within Apple's, Google's, or CamScanner's systems. Uninstalling the application simply removes access to it locally; your account continues to renew and charge your payment method. You must follow the explicit cancellation steps outlined above to halt billing, regardless of whether the app remains on your device.
Contacting CamScanner support instead of using the official platform
While CamScanner's customer support team can assist with general questions, they cannot always process cancellations directly. Relying on support emails or chat messages may result in delays or lost requests. The most reliable approach is to cancel directly through Apple, Google, or CamScanner's web portal. This action generates an immediate confirmation that you can reference if a dispute later arises. Yafee recommends using the official platform every time.
Assuming a free trial automatically converts without action
CamScanner trial periods convert to paid subscriptions automatically unless you explicitly cancel before the trial window closes. The trial duration is clearly stated when you sign up. Set a phone reminder three days before your trial ends to ensure you cancel on time. If the trial has already converted and you were charged, you may still qualify for a refund under Singapore's 14-day consumer protection window.
Failing to confirm cancellation immediately
After you complete the cancellation steps, verify immediately that you received a confirmation email. If no email arrives within 15 minutes, repeat the cancellation process or contact the payment platform's support team. Do not assume cancellation succeeded without this confirmation.
Comparison of subscription plans and when to keep versus cancel
Understanding whether CamScanner genuinely serves your needs helps you make an informed decision about cancellation. Yafee provides this framework to guide your choice.

If your usage falls into the occasional or casual categories, the free tier provides sufficient functionality. CamScanner's free version scans documents and stores them locally without limitation. You lose cloud synchronisation and OCR, but these features justify cost only if you use them regularly. Yafee recommends reviewing your actual document volume over the past three months before deciding to retain a paid plan.
Refund process and escalation if CamScanner refuses
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act entitles you to a refund if you cancelled within the legal window and charges continued to appear on your account. Yafee outlines the step-by-step refund recovery process.
Request a refund directly from CamScanner
Contact CamScanner's support team through their official website or in-app support feature. Provide your transaction date, the amount charged, your cancellation confirmation email, and a clear request for a refund. CamScanner typically responds within 5 business days. If they approve your refund, the credit will appear in your original payment method within 7 to 14 days.
Dispute the charge through your bank or payment provider
If CamScanner refuses to refund you or fails to respond within 10 days, contact your bank or credit card issuer. Request a chargeback or transaction dispute, providing your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Your bank must investigate and will typically reverse the charge within 20 business days if CamScanner cannot prove that the charge was authorised after your cancellation date.
Escalate to CASE if the dispute remains unresolved
The Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) handles consumer complaints at no charge to you. Contact CASE online at case.org.sg or by phone at 6100 0315. Provide your transaction history, cancellation confirmation, and documentation of your attempts to resolve the issue with CamScanner and your bank. CASE will mediate the dispute and can compel CamScanner to refund you or can escalate the matter to the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) if necessary. This process typically resolves within 30 days.
