Frequently asked questions
Cancel Prisma: The Right Way to Manage Your Subscription
How to cancel Prisma and understand your subscription rights in south africa
What Prisma is and how it works
Prisma is a subscription-based software service that uses artificial intelligence to transform your photographs into stylised artwork with professional-quality filters. You access Prisma through a mobile app on iOS and Android, or directly via the web platform. The service offers both a free tier with basic features and premium subscription plans that unlock additional artistic styles and high-definition image exports. At Yafee, we help thousands of South African consumers understand their options before committing to digital subscriptions like Prisma, so you can make informed decisions about which services genuinely add value to your life.
How Prisma subscriptions work
When you subscribe to Prisma, you upload photographs either in the mobile app or on the web platform. You then select an artistic style, and Prisma's servers process your image and return the styled result. Premium subscriptions grant you access to the full library of artistic styles and the ability to save images in higher resolution. Billing occurs through your chosen platform: if you subscribe via Apple's App Store or Google Play, those platforms handle your payments and automatic renewals. If you subscribe directly through Prisma's website, the company processes your billing directly through your preferred payment method.
Free versus premium tiers
The free version of Prisma lets you explore the service and apply basic filters to your photographs. Premium subscriptions unlock all artistic styles and high-definition exports, and they are available on flexible billing terms ranging from weekly to annual periods. Understanding the difference between these tiers is crucial before you decide to upgrade, and Yafee recommends reviewing your actual usage before committing to a paid plan.
Prisma pricing and subscription plans in south africa
Prisma offers several subscription options designed to suit different budgets and commitment levels. The table below shows current pricing in South African Rand for each available plan.
| Plan | Price (ZAR) | Billing cycle | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | R0 | No commitment | Basic styles, standard resolution |
| Premium Weekly | R34.99 | 7 days | All premium styles, HD saves |
| Premium Monthly | R84.99 | 30 days | All premium styles, HD saves |
| Premium Monthly Plus | R129.99 | 30 days | All premium styles, HD saves, priority support |
| Premium Annual | R349.99 | 365 days | Best value: all premium styles, HD saves |
Which plan offers the best value
If you are a casual user who wants to experiment with Prisma's filters occasionally, the free tier is genuinely sufficient. The weekly plan at R34.99 is ideal if you want to test premium features before committing to a longer billing cycle. The monthly plan at R84.99 provides the best balance of flexibility and cost if you use Prisma regularly. The annual plan at R349.99 delivers significant savings if you are committed to using Prisma year-round, bringing your monthly cost down to approximately R29. Yafee recommends starting with a shorter billing cycle if you are uncertain, then switching to the annual plan once you have confirmed you will use the service consistently.
Why you might want to cancel Prisma
Your reasons for cancelling Prisma are personal to you, and you have the right to withdraw from your subscription at any time under South African consumer law. Several situations typically prompt cancellation: you may have discovered similar free tools online, you realise you do not use the service regularly enough to justify the cost, or your financial circumstances have changed. Whatever your reason, Yafee is here to guide you through the process step-by-step so you exit smoothly and understand your rights.
Common reasons for cancelling
Many subscribers cancel Prisma when they realise the free tier meets their actual needs, or when they find alternative photo-editing tools that offer comparable features without a subscription cost. Budget constraints are another frequent driver: if you subscribed to multiple premium services, the cumulative cost may feel unsustainable. Additionally, some users discover that they do not use Prisma frequently enough to justify ongoing payments. You may also want to cancel if you prefer to use your phone's built-in camera filters or free desktop software instead.
Your consumer rights and legal position in south africa
Your right to cancel a digital subscription is protected under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008, which applies to all consumer transactions in South Africa. This legislation grants you specific protections when you enter into a service agreement with Prisma or its payment processor (such as Apple or Google). In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act, you have the explicit right to cancel a subscription within a prescribed cooling-off period and to receive a refund if applicable.
Your legal position
Under the Consumer Protection Act, Section 19, you have the right to cancel a direct agreement (subscription contract) with Prisma within 10 business days of concluding the agreement, provided that you have not yet used the service substantially. Furthermore, if you subscribed through Apple's App Store or Google Play, those platforms are also bound by consumer protection rules in South Africa and must process your cancellation and any eligible refund within a reasonable timeframe. You do not require permission from Prisma to cancel; you need only follow the correct procedural steps outlined in this guide. If Prisma or your payment processor refuses to cancel your subscription or refund you after cancellation, you can escalate your complaint to the National Credit Regulator (NCR) or the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud (CGSO), depending on whether credit is involved in your subscription method.
Cooling-off period and refund eligibility
The 10 business day cooling-off period under the Consumer Protection Act begins on the date you conclude the subscription agreement, not when you first use the service. If you cancel within this period and have not substantially benefited from Prisma's features, you are entitled to a refund of all payments made. After the cooling-off period expires, refunds are not automatic, but you may still have grounds for cancellation if the service is defective, misleading, or fails to perform as advertised. Consequently, if Prisma ceases to function properly, you can withdraw without penalty regardless of how long you have been subscribed.
How to cancel Prisma on iPhone and iPad
If you subscribed to Prisma through Apple's App Store, you must cancel your subscription directly in your iOS settings; Prisma cannot process App Store cancellations on your behalf. The process is straightforward and takes less than two minutes.
Cancel via apple app store (iOS)
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen to access your Apple ID profile.
- If you do not see your name, tap "Sign in to iPhone" and authenticate with your Apple ID credentials.
- Select Subscriptions.
- This option appears near the top of the menu; if you cannot find it, ensure you have tapped your name, not "iCloud".
- Locate Prisma in your active subscriptions list and tap on it.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
- You will be prompted to select a reason for cancellation; choose the option that best reflects your situation.
- Confirm your cancellation on the final prompt.
- Apple will display your cancellation date and the last billing date; note these for your records.
- Check your email for a confirmation message from Apple within minutes.
- This serves as proof of cancellation and protects you if Prisma attempts to charge you again.
Your access to Prisma's premium features will end on your next scheduled billing date. Until that date, you retain full access to your subscription. After your subscription expires, you can continue using Prisma's free tier without interruption.
How to cancel Prisma on android devices
If you subscribed through Google Play, you cancel your Prisma subscription via your Google account settings on any Android device or through the Google Play website. Google does not charge you immediately upon cancellation; instead, your access ends at the end of your current billing cycle.
Cancel via google play (Android)
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- If you do not have the app installed, download it from Google Play first.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select Manage subscriptions.
- Tap Prisma from your active subscriptions.
- If you have multiple subscriptions, scroll through the list carefully to locate Prisma.
- Tap Cancel subscription at the bottom of the screen.
- Google will ask you to confirm; you may also be offered discounts to retain your subscription, but you can disregard these offers.
- Confirm your cancellation request.
- Google will display a confirmation message with your cancellation date.
- Check your Gmail inbox for a cancellation confirmation email from Google Play within 24 hours.
Your Prisma premium access will terminate at the end of your current billing cycle. You will not be charged again, and you can continue using the free tier indefinitely.
How to cancel Prisma on the web
If you subscribed directly through Prisma's website rather than via Apple or Google, you must cancel your subscription through your Prisma account dashboard. This method gives you direct control and typically allows you to request a refund if you cancel within the Consumer Protection Act's cooling-off period.
Cancel via Prisma web account
- Visit the Prisma website and log in with your account credentials.
- If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" option on the login page.
- Navigate to your account settings or subscriptions menu.
- This is typically located in the top right menu under "Settings", "Account", or "Profile".
- Locate your active subscription and select the option to manage or cancel it.
- You may see buttons labelled "Cancel subscription", "Manage plan", or "Change subscription".
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your cancellation.
- Prisma may ask for feedback on why you are leaving; you may skip this step.
- Take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation page.
- This serves as proof of cancellation and protects your interests if issues arise.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Prisma within one hour.
- If you do not receive confirmation, log back in and verify that your subscription status has changed to "Cancelled".
Your access to Prisma premium will end immediately or at the end of your current billing period, depending on Prisma's cancellation policy displayed on their website. If you are within the 10 business day cooling-off period and have not substantially used the service, contact Prisma directly to request a refund. Yafee recommends saving all email correspondence with Prisma in case you need to escalate a refund dispute.
What happens after you cancel Prisma
Cancellation is not the end of your journey; several practical steps follow to ensure you are not charged again and to secure any refund you are entitled to under South African consumer law.
Verify your cancellation status
Within 24 hours of cancelling, log back into your Prisma account (or your Apple/Google account) and confirm that your subscription now displays as "Cancelled" or "Inactive". If your subscription still shows as active, repeat the cancellation process immediately. Take another screenshot of your account settings showing the cancelled status; this is vital evidence if you later dispute a charge.
Monitor your bank or card statements
For the next two to three billing cycles, carefully review your bank or credit card statements to ensure Prisma and its payment processors do not charge you again. Look for charges from Prisma, Apple, Google, or any associated payment companies. If an unwanted charge appears after cancellation, you have the right to dispute it with your bank under the Consumer Protection Act and your bank's terms. Report the charge to your bank immediately, and provide them with your cancellation confirmation email as proof.
Request a refund if eligible
If you cancelled within 10 business days of subscribing and have not substantially used Prisma, you are entitled to a refund under the Consumer Protection Act. Contact Prisma's customer support directly and request a refund, citing the Consumer Protection Act, Section 19. Provide your cancellation date and subscription start date as evidence. If Prisma refuses, escalate your complaint to the CGSO (Consumer Goods and Services Ombud) or the NCR (National Credit Regulator) with copies of your evidence.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Prisma
Cancellation is straightforward if you follow the correct steps, and most consumers complete it without difficulty. However, several mistakes can delay the process or jeopardise your refund claim, so stay alert and follow these guidelines carefully.
Deleting the app is not cancellation
The single most common error is deleting the Prisma app from your device and assuming the subscription is cancelled. Deleting the app stops nothing; your subscription remains active, and Prisma or your payment processor will continue to bill you on your next renewal date. You must cancel your subscription through your settings (Apple, Google, or Prisma web) before you delete the app. Only after you have received a cancellation confirmation email should you remove the app from your device.
Cancelling payment does not cancel the subscription
If you attempted to cancel by removing your payment card from your Apple, Google, or Prisma account, you have not cancelled your subscription. When your next billing date arrives, the payment processor will prompt you to update your payment method, and if you provide new card details, they will complete the charge. The correct method is to navigate to your subscriptions menu and explicitly select the cancel option, not merely to delete payment information.
Ignoring refund eligibility windows
The 10 business day cooling-off period under the Consumer Protection Act is strict. Once it expires, refund claims become significantly more difficult, even if you have barely used the service. If you believe you should qualify for a refund, submit your request within that window. Do not delay; contact Prisma immediately if you are within the timeframe and have decided that the service is not for you.
Failing to document your cancellation
Without written proof of cancellation, you have no defence if Prisma later disputes your claim or bills you again. Always take screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and save your confirmation email. Print both if possible. This documentation is your protection under consumer law and will be essential if you need to escalate a complaint to the CGSO or your bank.
Refunds and your right to a refund
Your entitlement to a refund depends on when you cancel relative to your subscription start date and how much of the service you have used.
Refund within the cooling-off period
If you cancel within 10 business days of your subscription agreement and have not substantially used Prisma's premium features, you are entitled to a full refund of all payments made. Substantial use is defined by the Consumer Protection Act as more than minor or exploratory use; applying a few filters does not constitute substantial use. You do not need Prisma's permission to obtain this refund; you have a legal right under Section 19 of the Consumer Protection Act. If Prisma refuses your refund claim within 10 business days, escalate to the CGSO immediately.
Refund after the cooling-off period
After the 10 business day period expires, you are no longer guaranteed a refund merely for cancelling. Nevertheless, you may still obtain a refund if Prisma has misrepresented its service, if the service is defective, or if it fails to perform substantially as advertised. For example, if Prisma's servers are frequently unavailable, preventing you from using the service you paid for, you may claim a refund for the period during which the service was unavailable. Document any service failures and contact Prisma's support team; if they do not resolve the issue, file a complaint with the CGSO, which can order a refund.
Pro-rata refunds for partial months
If your billing cycle is monthly and you cancel partway through the month, Prisma's policy dictates whether you receive a pro-rata refund for the unused portion. Many services do not offer pro-rata refunds after the cooling-off period, but you can request one. Contact Prisma directly and explain your circumstances; they may grant a partial refund as a goodwill gesture, especially if you have been a long-standing customer.
Comparison of cancellation methods and timelines
Your cancellation timeline and final access date depend on your payment platform and Prisma's policy. The table below summarizes each method's characteristics.
| Cancellation method | Processing time | When access ends | Refund eligibility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple App Store | Immediate | End of current billing cycle | Within 10 days of purchase only |
| Google Play | Immediate | End of current billing cycle | Within 10 days of purchase only |
| Prisma web direct | 1-2 hours | Immediate or end of cycle (depends on policy) | Within 10 days; pro-rata possible after |
| Prisma support contact | 1-2 business days | As agreed with support | Negotiable; dependent on circumstances |
What to do if Prisma refuses to cancel or refund
In most cases, Prisma and your payment processors comply with cancellation requests within hours. However, if you encounter resistance or if Prisma or Apple/Google refuse your refund claim after cancellation, you have escalation routes under South African consumer law.
Step one: document everything
Gather all evidence: your cancellation confirmation email, screenshots of your account showing cancellation status, proof of payment, and any correspondence with Prisma or your payment processor. Save these documents digitally and print a physical copy. This evidence is the foundation of any complaint you may file.
Step two: contact Prisma customer support
Send a formal email to Prisma's support team (using the contact information on their website) requesting that they process your cancellation and refund. Reference the Consumer Protection Act, Section 19, in your email and state that you are entitled to a refund as a consumer in South Africa. Provide your account details, subscription dates, and cancellation request date. Request a response within 10 business days.
Step three: escalate to the relevant payment processor
If Prisma does not respond or refuses, contact Apple or Google directly (whichever processed your payment). Both platforms have consumer complaint procedures and are themselves subject to South African consumer law. Submit your refund request to Apple or Google, providing your evidence of cancellation and the reason for the refund claim. Include a reference to Prisma's refusal to process your claim.
Step four: complain to the CGSO
The Consumer Goods and Services Ombud (CGSO) is the independent dispute resolution body for consumer complaints in South Africa. If Prisma, Apple, or Google refuses to resolve your complaint, you can lodge a formal complaint with the CGSO at no cost. The CGSO has the authority to order refunds and can impose penalties on non-compliant companies. Visit www.cgso.org.za to lodge your complaint online. Provide all documentation and a clear summary of your dispute. The CGSO will investigate and mediate between you and Prisma; if mediation fails, they can make a binding ruling in your favour.
Frequently overlooked items before you cancel
Before you submit your cancellation request, review these items to ensure you are making an informed decision and will not regret cancelling.
Download your photos and data
If you have saved any stylised photos or artwork through Prisma, download them to your device immediately. Once your subscription is cancelled, your access to previously created images may be restricted depending on Prisma's policy. Some services allow indefinite access to free-tier creations but restrict access to premium-created images after cancellation. Do not assume you can retrieve your work later; download everything now.
Check for discounted renewal offers
Many subscription services offer discounts or extended trials before allowing you to confirm cancellation. During the cancellation process, Prisma or your payment processor may present offers such as a 50% discount for three months or a free week of premium access. Review these offers carefully; if one appeals to you, pause your cancellation and accept the offer. If not, proceed with cancellation without hesitation. Yafee recommends deciding your course of action before you begin the cancellation process so you are not swayed by last-minute promotions.
Confirm alternative tools are available
Before cancelling, ensure you have identified a free or cheaper alternative that meets your photo-editing needs. Research free apps such as Snapseed, VSCO, or Pixlr, or verify that your phone's built-in camera app offers equivalent filters. Making this check before cancelling prevents the disappointment of realising, too late, that Prisma was your best option.
Contact information and cancellation address
If you need to contact Prisma directly regarding your cancellation or to request a refund, use the following address. Note that Prisma's operations are handled through its web platform; direct physical mail is not the fastest method. Yafee recommends using the in-app support or visiting the Prisma website for current contact information, as email addresses and support portals change periodically.
For direct contact, visit Prisma's official website and navigate to "Contact Us" or "Support". If you are unable to locate contact details, send your request to the support email displayed in your account settings or app. For escalation of refund disputes that Prisma refuses to process, contact the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud (CGSO) at www.cgso.org.za or call their complaints hotline.
Final summary and your next steps
Cancelling Prisma is a straightforward process that takes minutes if you follow the correct steps for your payment platform. Your rights as a South African consumer are protected under the Consumer Protection Act, which grants you a 10 business day cooling-off period in which to cancel and receive a full refund if you have not substantially used the service. Beyond that period, cancellation remains your right, but refunds are no longer automatic; nevertheless, you can still claim a refund if the service is defective or misrepresented.
To cancel, navigate to your subscriptions in your Apple, Google, or Prisma account, locate Prisma, and select the cancellation option. Confirm your cancellation via email. Do not delete the app or remove your payment card; these actions do not cancel your subscription. Within 24 hours, verify that your account shows "Cancelled". If you believe you are entitled to a refund, submit your request within 10 business days, with evidence of cancellation. If Prisma refuses, escalate to the CGSO.
