How to cancel your Launchpass subscription and reclaim control of your membership
Understanding Launchpass and why you might cancel
Launchpass is a creator-owned membership platform that automates subscription billing, access control, and payment processing through Stripe integration. When you subscribe to a community built on Launchpass, you pay the creator a recurring fee to access gated content, private Discord servers, or exclusive community benefits. The creator sets the pricing, membership tiers, and refund policy; Launchpass provides the infrastructure, but the creator owns your membership relationship.
You might cancel because your interests have shifted, the community no longer delivers value, budget constraints demand spending cuts, or you simply want to reduce subscription clutter. Whatever your reason, Yafee is here to guide you through the exact steps to cancel cleanly and understand your refund options under Singapore law.
How Launchpass memberships function
When you subscribe through Launchpass, your payment flows directly to the creator via Stripe. Launchpass acts as the payment infrastructure and access-control layer, not as the merchant or service provider. This distinction matters because it determines who you must contact to cancel, dispute charges, or request refunds.
Communities can charge one-time fees or recurring subscriptions, offer multiple pricing tiers, and gate access to Discord channels, Slack workspaces, or private websites. Your payment method is processed securely through Stripe, but the creator controls whether refunds are issued and on what terms.
Common reasons to cancel your Launchpass membership
You might find that the community has grown too large and lost its intimacy, the creator has gone inactive, or you are not engaging with the promised content. Budget pressure is another legitimate factor; many people subscribe to multiple communities and need to consolidate spending. Yafee understands these decisions are personal and practical, not a reflection of your commitment to learning or growth.
Your consumer rights and legal protections in singapore
Singapore law provides you with enforceable rights when you purchase digital services, including Launchpass memberships.
What the consumer protection (Fair trading) act covers
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you when you purchase goods or services, including digital subscriptions. If the creator misrepresents the community, fails to deliver promised benefits, or the service is fundamentally defective, you have grounds to dispute the charge or request a refund under the Act.
The Act prohibits unfair contract terms and misleading marketing. If the creator charged you but never granted access, or if the community has been abandoned without notice, these are potential breaches that you can escalate to the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS).
Your legal position
You have the right to:
- Cancel your subscription at any time unless the creator's terms explicitly restrict cancellation during a lock-in period (which must be transparent and fair)
- Receive a refund if the service was not delivered as promised
- Lodge a complaint with the CCCS if the creator refuses to honour your cancellation or misrepresented the service
- Request your payment history and subscription details from Launchpass or the creator
Documenting your case and escalation routes
Before you cancel, take screenshots of the community page, your subscription confirmation email, and any promises made about content or access. Save your billing confirmations and note the date your subscription was activated.
If the creator refuses to honour your cancellation or denies a refund despite legitimate service failure, lodge a complaint with the CCCS at www.cccs.gov.sg or telephone 1800-6222-628. Yafee recommends keeping detailed records so you have evidence if escalation becomes necessary.
Methods to cancel your Launchpass subscription
You can cancel your Launchpass membership through three primary routes, each with distinct steps and timelines.
Cancelling via the Launchpass customer portal
The customer portal is your primary and most reliable cancellation method. This is where you manage all active subscriptions, view billing history, and formally cancel membership.
- Open your web browser and navigate to the Launchpass customer portal at https://www.launchpass.com/membership/
- Sign in using the email address and password you used when you subscribed to the community
- If you cannot remember your password, click "Forgot password?" and reset it via email
- Check your spam folder if the reset email does not arrive within two minutes
- Look for the section labeled "Active Subscriptions" or "My Memberships"
- Locate the membership you wish to cancel and click the "Manage" or "Settings" button next to it
- Select "Cancel Subscription" or "End Membership"
- Review any final charges or prorated amounts displayed on screen
- Confirm your cancellation by clicking "Yes, cancel my subscription" or the equivalent button
- You will receive a cancellation confirmation email within two to four hours
Cancelling through your payment method
If you cannot access the Launchpass portal, you can cancel through your payment provider (your bank or credit card issuer).
- Log in to your bank's online portal or mobile app
- Navigate to "Recurring Payments", "Subscriptions", or "Authorised Transactions"
- Find the Launchpass or creator-related transaction
- Select "Cancel Recurring Payment" or "Revoke Authorisation"
- Confirm the cancellation
- Document the cancellation by taking a screenshot and noting the date and time
This method protects you by stopping future charges immediately. Nevertheless, Yafee recommends also cancelling through the Launchpass portal to ensure your account is formally deactivated and you receive confirmation.
Contacting the creator or Launchpass support
If the above methods fail, contact the creator or Launchpass support directly.
- Visit the Launchpass website and locate the "Contact" or "Support" page
- Submit a support ticket with the subject "Cancellation Request"
- Include your full name, email address, the community name, and the date your subscription began
- Clearly state your cancellation date and request confirmation of the effective date
- Ask whether a refund will be issued and on what timeline
- Keep a copy of your support ticket for your records
- Allow five to seven business days for a response
Understanding Launchpass pricing and billing
Launchpass does not charge you directly; the creator controls all pricing and billing terms.
| Billing factor |
What it means for you |
| Monthly recurring fee |
You are charged on the same day each month. Cancellation takes effect immediately or at the end of the current billing cycle (depends on creator's policy). |
| Annual recurring fee |
You are charged once per year. Cancelling mid-year may result in a prorated refund, depending on the creator's refund policy. |
| One-time payment |
You are charged once and access does not renew. No cancellation is necessary unless you dispute the charge. |
| Multiple tiers |
The creator may offer basic, standard, and premium tiers. Yafee advises checking your invoice to confirm which tier you subscribed to. |
| Stripe processing fee |
Stripe may retain a transaction fee (typically 2.2% plus fixed fees). This does not affect your refund eligibility under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. |
Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
Your refund eligibility depends on the creator's refund policy, the reason for cancellation, and Singapore consumer law.
Refund eligibility and timelines
If you cancel within 14 calendar days of your subscription start date, you may be entitled to a full refund under Singapore's distance selling rules, provided the creator's terms do not explicitly exclude memberships. If the creator delivered no content or access despite your payment, you have grounds to request a refund regardless of how long you subscribed.
Refunds typically process within five to ten business days. Your bank may take an additional two to three business days to credit your account. If you do not see a refund within ten business days, contact the creator or Launchpass support with your cancellation confirmation number.
What happens to your account after cancellation
Once you cancel, your access to the community (Discord server, private website, or gated content) will be revoked immediately or at the end of your billing cycle, depending on the creator's cancellation policy. You will receive a final confirmation email stating the effective cancellation date. You may still be able to view your transaction history in the Launchpass portal for your records, but you cannot re-access community content.
If you change your mind, you can resubscribe at any time, but you will be charged at the current price (which may differ from your original subscription rate). Yafee recommends downloading or saving any content you wish to keep before your access expires.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling is straightforward, but these errors can complicate the process or leave you without proof.
Not keeping cancellation confirmation
Always save your cancellation confirmation email and screenshots of the portal showing "Subscription Cancelled". If the creator charges you again, you will need this proof to dispute the charge with your bank or the CCCS.
Cancelling only through your bank without notifying Launchpass
Revoking the payment authorisation at your bank stops the charge, but it does not formally close your account with Launchpass or the creator. Your account may remain "active" in their system, and the creator might attempt to collect payment or contact you about a failed charge. Always cancel through the Launchpass portal first, then confirm via your bank as a backup.
Assuming cancellation is immediate
Some creators charge you for the full final month even if you cancel mid-cycle. Read the creator's refund policy before cancelling to understand whether you will receive a prorated refund or be charged through the end of the billing period.
Not reviewing your final invoice
After cancellation, request or download your final invoice to verify no additional charges were applied. If your final charge differs from what you expected, contact the creator or Launchpass within 30 days to dispute it.
Comparing your cancellation and retention options
Before you cancel, consider whether pausing, downgrading, or retaining your subscription is a better fit for your situation.
| Option |
Cost |
Timeline |
When to choose it |
| Retain and stay subscribed |
Full recurring fee (monthly or annual) |
Ongoing |
You value the community and expect the creator to remain active. |
| Downgrade to a lower tier |
Reduced fee (if available) |
Effective immediately or next cycle |
You want limited access but prefer not to lose membership entirely. |
| Cancel subscription |
Final charge only (prorated if applicable) |
Immediate or end of cycle |
You no longer derive value and want to stop recurring charges. Yafee recommends this if the creator is inactive. |
| Request a refund |
Potential full or partial refund |
Five to ten business days |
The service was not delivered as promised or you cancelled within 14 days. |
Escalating a dispute if the creator refuses to cancel
If the creator ignores your cancellation request or continues to charge you after you cancel, escalate formally.
Step one: document and request cancellation in writing
Send a formal email to the creator with the subject "Formal Cancellation Request and Refund Claim". Include your full name, email, subscription date, the amount charged, and a clear statement: "I formally request cancellation of my subscription effective immediately and a full refund of any charges incurred after [date]." Request written confirmation within five business days.
Step two: dispute the charge with your bank
If the creator does not respond within five business days or refuses to cancel, contact your bank or credit card issuer and request a dispute or reversal. Provide your cancellation email, screenshots of the portal, and any communication from the creator. Your bank will investigate and typically side with you if Launchpass or the creator cannot prove the service was delivered.
Step three: lodge a complaint with the CCCS
If your bank dispute is unsuccessful or the creator contests it, file a formal complaint with the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore. Visit www.cccs.gov.sg, complete the complaint form, and provide all documentation (subscription confirmations, cancellation requests, bank correspondence, and screenshots). The CCCS investigates breaches of the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and can order the creator to refund you or cease the unfair practice.

Customer reviews and community feedback on cancellations
Subscribers report that Launchpass cancellations are straightforward when processed through the portal but can be delayed if the creator processes cancellations manually. The most common complaint is that creators fail to refund prorated amounts or continue charging after cancellation. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate these disputes and recover unauthorized charges by escalating to the CCCS.
Positive feedback centres on transparent pricing and quick access termination once cancellation is confirmed. Users appreciate that Launchpass does not lock them into long-term contracts, unlike some competing membership platforms.
