Pocket Casts Plus or Patron subscription fees are non-refundable according to our Terms of Use.
However, in certain cases, you may be able to apply for a refund based on the policies of the platform you subscribed from—either the Google Play Store, Apple App Store, or Pocket Casts website.
When a refund is issued, your Plus or Patron access ends immediately. Because the payment is reversed, your subscription is stopped right away and your account converts to a regular, free Pocket Casts sync account at that point, not at the end of the billing period.
This is different from cancelling without a refund. If you cancel your subscription but keep the payment, you keep Plus or Patron access until the end of the period you have already paid for, and your account converts to a free sync account only after that period ends.
