Frequently asked questions
Cancel Crayo: The Right Way to Protect Your Money
How to cancel Crayo and protect your money in south africa
What is Crayo and why you might want to cancel
Crayo is an artificial intelligence-powered subscription platform that generates marketing videos and written content using generative AI technology. The service operates across web and mobile applications, allowing you to create professional-quality content without expensive equipment or specialist editing skills. You can subscribe on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis, with premium tiers offering advanced AI features and higher output limits.
If you have signed up for Crayo and now want to cancel, you have arrived at the right resource. Whether you have discovered it does not align with your workflow, you are unhappy with the output quality, or you simply need to reduce your subscription costs, Yafee walks you through every procedural step. Many South African users find themselves caught in automatic renewal cycles. This guide ensures you retain control of your billing and understand your cancellation rights under South African consumer law.
Where Crayo operates and how billing works
Crayo is accessible through three main channels: the web dashboard at crayo.ai, the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad users, and Google Play for Android devices. Your billing method depends directly on where you subscribed. If you purchased through the web, Crayo charges you directly via credit card or other payment methods. If you used App Store or Google Play, the respective store handles your payment and subscription management, meaning you must cancel through that platform, not through Crayo itself.
This distinction matters significantly because cancellation routes differ by platform. Yafee recommends identifying your purchase source before you initiate cancellation, as mismatched cancellation attempts are a common reason for continued unwanted billing.
Common reasons to cancel Crayo
You may wish to cancel if the service has not delivered results within your first week of use, if the AI output quality falls short of your expectations, or if the subscription cost no longer fits your budget. South African consumers frequently cancel because they underestimated how much hands-on editing the tool still requires, or because they discovered cheaper alternatives that better serve their content creation needs.
Your consumer rights under south african law
South African consumer protection legislation grants you stronger rights than many service providers acknowledge, even when contractual terms claim "no refunds."
Cooling-off rights and section 48 of the consumer protection act
Under section 48 of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), you possess the right to cancel distance contracts (which include all online subscriptions) within 5 business days of purchase, without penalty or justification. This statutory right applies regardless of what Crayo's terms and conditions state. If you subscribed within the last 5 business days and want a refund, you are legally entitled to request it. Yafee advises invoking this right in writing if Crayo refuses your initial request.
The cooling-off period begins when your contract concludes, not when you receive an email confirmation. Weekends and South African public holidays do not count as business days in this calculation.
Unfair contract terms under section 62 of the CPA
Crayo's blanket "no refunds" policy may breach section 62 of the Consumer Protection Act if it creates a significant imbalance in your rights and obligations. If Crayo fails to deliver the service as advertised, refuses a legitimate refund claim, or applies undisclosed charges, you can escalate your complaint to the National Consumer Commission (NCC).
The NCC is the enforcement body responsible for investigating breaches of consumer protection law in South Africa. You can lodge a complaint free of charge on the NCC website or through their complaint form.
When refunds become mandatory
Refunds are compulsory if Crayo fails to deliver services as described in its marketing materials, if the service is unfit for the purpose for which you purchased it, or if you can demonstrate material misrepresentation. "Fails to deliver" includes persistent crashes, AI features that do not function, or complete service unavailability during your billing period.
Your legal position on cancellation
You hold the right to cancel Crayo at any time after the 5-business-day cooling-off period. Although Crayo may charge a cancellation fee or retain your final payment, you cannot be locked into automatic renewals without your explicit consent to each renewal. If Crayo continues to charge you after you have cancelled, you can lodge a complaint with your bank (via chargeback) or with the National Consumer Commission. In South Africa, the law favours the consumer in disputes over unwanted recurring charges.

Crayo pricing and subscription tiers
Understanding Crayo's pricing structure helps you assess the cost of cancellation and plan your budget accordingly.
| Plan | Billing period | Cost (ZAR) | Video credits per month | AI features | Cancellation policy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | Monthly | R 149 | 10 videos | Basic AI | Cancel anytime after 5 days |
| Professional | Monthly | R 299 | 50 videos | Advanced AI, custom branding | Cancel anytime after 5 days |
| Professional | Annually | R 2,990 | 50 videos | Advanced AI, custom branding | Cancel within 30 days for refund |
| Team | Monthly | R 699 | Unlimited videos | Team collaboration, full AI suite | Cancel anytime after 5 days |
| Team | Annually | R 6,990 | Unlimited videos | Team collaboration, full AI suite | Cancel within 30 days for refund |
If you paid for an annual plan and cancel within 30 days of purchase, you are entitled to a refund under Crayo's stated policy and under section 48 of the Consumer Protection Act. Yafee recommends requesting this refund in writing if Crayo does not process it automatically.
Refund policy and what to expect after cancellation
After you cancel Crayo, your account will remain active until the end of your current billing period. You will not be charged for the next cycle. However, Crayo does not guarantee a refund for the current period unless you fall within the 5-business-day cooling-off window or you purchased an annual plan and cancel within 30 days.
How to request a refund
If you believe you are entitled to a refund under South African law, Yafee advises sending a formal request to Crayo's support team. Include the following information:
- Your account email address and subscription ID
- The date you subscribed and the amount charged
- Your reason for requesting a refund (e.g., within the 5-business-day cooling-off period, service failure, or unfair contract terms)
- A reference to the relevant section of the Consumer Protection Act (section 48 or section 62)
- Your preferred refund method (credit card, bank transfer, or account credit)
Send this request to Crayo's support email address. Allow 5 business days for a response. If Crayo refuses your refund without valid legal grounds, you can escalate to the National Consumer Commission.
Escalation to the national consumer commission
If Crayo refuses a refund you believe you are legally entitled to, lodge a complaint with the National Consumer Commission (NCC). The NCC investigates complaints free of charge and can compel Crayo to reimburse you if it finds a breach of the Consumer Protection Act. You can lodge a complaint online at www.nccsa.org.za or by postal mail to the NCC office in Pretoria.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation is not the end of your interaction with Crayo; take these steps to secure your account and avoid unwanted charges.
Verify your cancellation status
Within 48 hours of cancelling, log back into your Crayo account and confirm that your subscription shows as "Cancelled" or lists an expiry date. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation. If you do not receive one within 24 hours, contact Crayo's support team immediately.
Monitor your bank account and payment methods
Watch your credit card or bank statement for 30 days after cancellation. If Crayo charges you again after the cancellation date, contact your bank immediately and request a chargeback. Provide your bank with the cancellation confirmation email as evidence that you authorised no further charges.
Update your payment method if necessary
If you used a credit card, debit card, or online payment method for Crayo, you may wish to update or remove it from the platform to prevent accidental re-subscription. Log into your account settings and delete any saved payment methods you no longer use.
Remove the Crayo app if you no longer need it
Uninstall the Crayo app from your iPhone or Android device to avoid accidental re-subscription or notification spam. Deletion of the app does not affect your account status; it simply removes the application from your device.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation mistakes are easily preventable; take care to follow these steps correctly and you will avoid unnecessary charges and frustration.
- Cancelling in the wrong place: If you subscribed via App Store or Google Play, cancelling through Crayo's website will not work. You must cancel through the platform where you made the purchase.
- Forgetting to download your confirmation: Always screenshot or save your cancellation confirmation email. Without this proof, disputing future charges becomes difficult.
- Cancelling too close to your renewal date: If your renewal is in 2 days and you cancel today, you may still be charged for the next period. Check your renewal date before cancelling and aim to cancel at least 5 days in advance.
- Not checking your bank statement: Assume nothing. Verify that Crayo has stopped charging you by reviewing your statements for 30 days after cancellation.
- Ignoring retention offers: Crayo may offer discounts to keep you as a customer. Do not accept these offers unless you genuinely intend to continue; if you decline and Crayo still charges you, you can claim the charge was made without consent.
- Assuming cancellation is instant: Cancellations can take 24-48 hours to process. If you see a charge immediately after cancelling, wait 2 business days before disputing it.
