How to Cancel Hotspot Shield
Skycopia rates Hotspot Shield as easy to cancel, and you can do it yourself online.
🔍 The founder's own audit flagged $19,207/yr — 62 recurring charges out of 6,027 transactions, real numbers as of July 2026.
Cancelling is the easy part — making it stick is the hard part. Skycopia watches the charge from both sides: a nudge before the renewal date so you don't miss your window, and an alert if Hotspot Shield bills you again after you've cancelled. It reads your bank data and keeps you on top of your cancellations and subscriptions.
Free to set up — no card needed.
Ready to cancel it yourself? Sky can walk you through it one step at a time — or just read the steps below.
Cancellation steps
- 1
Sign in at account.hotspotshield.com/sign-in → open your account/billing page → cancel auto-renewal
- 2
Bought through the App Store instead? Settings app → your name → Subscriptions → Hotspot Shield → Cancel Subscription. Bought through Google Play? Play Store app → profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Hotspot Shield → Cancel subscription — uninstalling the app alone does NOT cancel the charge
Or have Sky walk you through it one step at a time, with the right page open beside this one — then watch your bank data to confirm the charge actually stopped.
Charged again after cancelling? Dispute it with your card issuer — the steps above are your proof you cancelled, and the date you did it. Skycopia flags a zombie rebill the moment it lands, so you catch it inside the dispute window instead of six months later.

What should I watch out for when cancelling Hotspot Shield?
Cancelling auto-renewal doesn't refund the term you already paid for — access continues until it ends, and it doesn't request a refund automatically; that's a separate ask via live chat or email. Hotspot Shield's own money-back guarantee runs a generous 45 days (most VPN peers only offer 30) — but only for purchases made directly on hotspotshield.com; App Store/Google Play buyers must request refunds through that store instead.
