Requesting a refund

How refunds work in ChatNow depends on where you purchased your subscription.

Before proceeding, first identify whether you subscribed via the Apple App Store or on the ChatNow website.


Apple App Store subscriptions

If you subscribed through the iOS app, all payments and refunds are handled entirely by Apple.

What this means

  • ChatNow does not process payments

  • We do not have access to your billing information

  • We cannot issue refunds or make billing exceptions

  • All refund decisions are made by Apple

How to request a refund from Apple

To request a refund, you must contact Apple directly:

👉 https://support.apple.com/billing

From there, select Request a Refund and follow Apple’s instructions.

Apple will review your request and decide whether a refund is approved.

If Apple denies a refund, ChatNow is unable to override or change that decision.


Website subscriptions (Paddle)

If you subscribed on the ChatNow website, refunds are handled through Paddle.

How to request a website refund

  1. Go to 👉 https://billing.chatnow.app/

  2. Enter the email address you used at checkout

  3. Enter the security code you will receive at your email address

  4. Access your billing dashboard

  5. Select your subscription

  6. Go to the transaction

  7. Request a refund

Refund requests are:

  • Reviewed by Paddle

  • Subject to approval

  • Typically processed within 5–10 business days


Important things to know

  • Refunds are not guaranteed

  • Used credits cannot be refunded

  • If a refund is approved, access may end immediatelyW


About trials

  • A 3-day free trial is available only on weekly plans

  • The trial must be manually activated in the app

  • If another plan is selected, the trial is skipped

  • After the trial ends, the subscription renews automatically

Monthly and yearly plans do not include a trial.


Credits and refunds

  • Chat usage is unlimited and does not affect refunds

  • Image and video generations use credits

  • Credits used cannot be refunded or manually re-added

A generation attempt consumes credits once processed, even if the result was not as expected.


What ChatNow cannot do

To avoid confusion, ChatNow cannot:

  • Issue refunds for Apple subscriptions

  • Override Apple’s refund decisions

  • Refund used credits

  • Convert or merge subscriptions

  • Make exceptions outside Apple or Paddle policies


Not sure where you subscribed?

  • Subscribed in the iOS app → Apple App Store
