FinTrack Refund Policy

Most software companies bury this. We'd rather just be honest. Here's exactly when you get a refund, when you don't, and how to ask.

Effective date: May 22, 2026 · Last updated: May 22, 2026

The short version

  • You're never charged during the 14-day free trial. Cancel before day 14 — no money changes hands.
  • If you're charged and want out, email us within 14 days of the charge. We refund mid-month most of the time, especially if you haven't actively used the AI features that month.
  • If FinTrack charged you after you cancelled (rare Stripe webhook delays), it's an unconditional refund.
  • Beyond 14 days, we generally don't refund the current month — but cancellation is one click and stops all future charges immediately.

1.Our default refund posture

FinTrack is a monthly subscription at USD $4.99 / CAD $6.99 per month. By default, when you cancel partway through a month, you keep access until the end of the month you've already paid for, and we don't issue a pro-rated refund for the unused portion.

This isn't because we're stingy. It's because:

  • The amount is small enough that the bookkeeping costs more than the refund.
  • The 14-day free trial already gives you a no-charge window to decide if FinTrack is right for you.
  • Cancellation is one click and stops all future charges immediately, so the cost cap is one month.

That said, we make exceptions all the time — see the next section.

2.When we refund

Always refund

Stripe charged you after you cancelled

Rare, but Stripe webhook delays can cause it. Email us — unconditional refund, no questions.

Always refund

Duplicate or accidental charge

Two charges for the same month, or a charge after account deletion. Unconditional refund.

Usually refund

You cancelled within 14 days of a charge and barely used the app

Specifically: you haven't asked Money Coach more than a couple of questions, scanned a receipt, or imported a CSV that month. Email us within 14 days. We'll generally make it right.

Case-by-case

FinTrack was broken for you for an extended period

If a bug we caused prevented you from using the app for more than a few days in a billing month, write to us with details. We're happy to refund or credit the affected period.

Case-by-case

Genuine hardship

Lost your job, medical emergency, life thing. Just ask. Most of these get refunded.

Usually no refund

You used the AI features heavily this month, then changed your mind

The AI Money Coach + receipt scanner have real per-use cost to us. If you've used them substantially, we typically can't refund the month — but we'll always cancel future charges immediately on request.

Usually no refund

You forgot to cancel and noticed months later

We'll cancel future charges right away (or you can do it in Settings → Billing yourself). Past months are usually not refundable — but if it's been a long time and you genuinely never logged in, write us and we'll look at the case.

3.How to ask for a refund

Email help@fintrack.app. To make it fast, please include:

  1. The email on your FinTrack account
  2. The date and amount of the charge
  3. One sentence about what's happening (you don't have to write a story — "cancelled but got charged" is fine)

We aim to respond within 12 hours on business days. Refunds, once approved, take 5-10 business days to appear on your statement — that's Stripe's processing window, not ours.

Tip: You don't have to email first if you just want to cancel. Sign in and go to Settings → Billing → Cancel subscription. Two clicks, no retention call, no refund request needed because no future charges will happen.

4.Chargebacks

If you dispute a FinTrack charge with your card issuer (a "chargeback") instead of emailing us, we'll be told by Stripe. We'll honor the chargeback. We'd just gently encourage you to email us first — it's faster for you, and it doesn't add a dispute to our processor record.

If chargebacks are filed in bad faith (e.g., to extract a free month of service), we may close the account and add the canonical-email hash to our no-trial list. See our Terms of Service §10.

5.The free trial

Every account starts with a 14-day free trial, with all features unlocked, no card required up front. There's nothing to refund during the trial because we don't charge you anything.

You only enter a payment method if you choose to continue past day 14. See our trial mechanics page for the full breakdown.

6.Statutory rights

Nothing in this Refund Policy limits any consumer-protection rights you have by law. If you're a Quebec resident, your rights under the Consumer Protection Act apply. If you're elsewhere in Canada, applicable provincial law applies. If you're in the EU or UK, your right to withdraw from a distance contract within the cooling-off period applies, except where you have already started using the digital service and agreed to waive that right at checkout.

7.Changes to this policy

If we update this Refund Policy, we'll change the "Last updated" date at the top. Material changes (anything that makes the policy stricter) are announced by email to active subscribers at least 14 days before they take effect.
