How to Request a Prezi Refund

Prezi's refund policy is extremely restrictive. From their Terms of Service:

"Payment for subscriptions is non-refundable."

Their official Refund Policy page confirms:

  • One-time exception: You can request a refund within 14 days of purchase if you have not used the subscription at all
  • No pro-rated refunds for mid-term cancellations
  • Deleting your account does not trigger a refund
  • During the free trial, users "waive any and all rights to a refund"

BBB complaints show Prezi's standard response is: "All decisions regarding refunds are final" and "further correspondence on this matter will not change it."

EU residents: You may have a legal 14-day withdrawal right for digital services under EU consumer law, regardless of what Prezi's terms say.

What Happens After Canceling Prezi?

  • Access continues until the end of your current billing cycle
  • Download your presentations before canceling -- you lose access to them after the period ends
  • Your presentations are not automatically exported or saved elsewhere
  • The zooming canvas format means your content isn't easily portable to other tools

Frequently Asked Questions

Will deleting my Prezi account cancel my subscription?

No. Multiple users report being charged even after deleting their accounts. You must explicitly cancel the subscription through billing settings before deleting your account.

Can I get a Prezi refund after the 14-day window?

Prezi almost universally denies refunds after 14 days. Your best option is to file a credit card dispute through your bank, especially if you have evidence of cancellation attempts.

Why does Prezi show Error 500 when I try to cancel?

Multiple Trustpilot reviewers report this issue. It may be a technical problem, or as one reviewer put it, it happens "conveniently." If you encounter this, email Prezi support immediately and document the error with screenshots for a potential dispute.

Is Prezi a scam?

Prezi is a legitimate product, but its billing practices have earned it an F rating with the BBB and hundreds of 1-star Trustpilot reviews. The combination of aggressive trial-to-paid conversion, no-refund policies, and technical barriers to cancellation has led many users to use the word "scam."
