The cancellation of a Meetic subscription relies on a mechanism for deactivating automatic renewal, not on an immediate deletion of the service. This technical distinction still traps many subscribers who confuse cancellation with account deletion. Understanding the mechanics of the Meetic billing cycle helps avoid an additional charge.
Meetic Automatic Renewal: The Billing Mechanism to Neutralize
Meetic operates on a model of tacit renewal at a fixed term. The subscription automatically renews on the anniversary date of the subscription, regardless of the purchase channel (web, App Store, Google Play). Deactivating the renewal does not cut off access to premium features: the service remains active until the end of the already paid period.

This logic means that there is no prorated refund. If you deactivate the renewal on the fifth day of a monthly cycle, the remaining days are retained, but the following month will not be charged. We recommend proceeding with the deactivation as soon as the decision is made, without waiting for the end of the cycle, to eliminate any risk of forgetting.
For those seeking detailed guidance, it is possible to cancel your Meetic subscription on Infos Net with step-by-step instructions tailored to each subscription channel.

Meetic Cancellation via the Web and Differences with App Store or Google Play
The channel through which the subscription was taken out determines the cancellation procedure. This is the technical point that most guides overlook, yet it conditions the success of the operation.
Subscription Taken Out on meetic.fr
Log into your account from a browser. Go to the “My Account” section, then to the subscription section. The option to deactivate automatic renewal can be found there. Since the application of the Digital Services Act (DSA) in 2024, Meetic offers a one-click unsubscribe button for web subscriptions, which significantly simplifies the process compared to previous years.
Subscription Taken Out via the App Store (iOS)
Meetic does not directly manage the billing of subscriptions purchased via Apple. Cancellation must be done in the settings of the iPhone or iPad:
- Open Settings, tap on your Apple ID, then on “Subscriptions”
- Select the Meetic subscription from the list and tap “Cancel Subscription”
- Confirm the deactivation (premium access remains active until the end of the current period)
User feedback reports persistent failures to cancel via the App Store when the Apple ID used differs from the one associated with the initial subscription. Check this point before any attempt.
Subscription Taken Out via Google Play
The procedure goes through the Google Play Store, under the “Subscriptions” section. Select Meetic, then “Cancel Subscription”. Google sends a confirmation email within minutes. Keep it as proof.
Meetic Right of Withdrawal: The Often Overlooked 14-Day Period
The French Consumer Code grants a 14-day withdrawal period for any contract concluded at a distance. This right applies to Meetic subscriptions taken out online, provided that the premium service has not been started.
In practice, this condition makes withdrawal tricky. As soon as you view a profile or send a message using the paid features, Meetic considers that the service has been “executed.” The effective withdrawal window is therefore limited to the first hours following the subscription.
To exercise this right, a withdrawal letter (email or letter) must be sent to Meetic’s customer service. Include your contact details, the subscription date, the subscription number, and the explicit request for withdrawal with a full refund.
Meetic and DisonsDemain: The Differences in Notice Periods to Know
DisonsDemain, the platform of the Meetic group aimed at those over 50, applies different cancellation conditions. Unlike Meetic, which allows immediate cancellation without notice once the renewal is deactivated, DisonsDemain imposes a one-month notice period after the first 48 hours of subscription.
This difference often goes unnoticed by most multi-platform subscribers. If you are registered for both services, handle each cancellation separately and check the specific terms and conditions for each platform.
Blocked Meetic Cancellation: Available Recourses
When the online procedure does not work, several options exist:
- Contact Meetic customer service by email or through the online contact form, attaching a screenshot of the failed cancellation attempt
- Oppose the charge with your bank if an unwanted renewal has been debited despite deactivation (the bank can initiate a chargeback procedure)
- Report to the DGCCRF via the SignalConso platform in case of proven unfair commercial practice
- Send a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt to Meetic SAS headquarters to formalize the request and create a legal proof
Processing times for cancellations have improved in recent years thanks to automation. The majority of requests are now resolved within 48 hours for direct web subscriptions. Subscriptions via third-party stores take longer to process, as Meetic support does not have control over Apple or Google billing.
Always keep a written record of each step: screenshots of the deactivation, confirmation emails, bank statements. In case of a dispute, this file constitutes your only leverage against customer service or a consumer mediator.
