How to Manage or Cancel your Guardio Subscription

Please note: Guardio is not affiliated with JustAnswer, Unsubby, Xpendy, or any other third-party service offering tech support or subscription management. If another service claims to manage Guardio subscriptions, it is not official and may lead to additional or unauthorized charges.

Your Guardio subscription is flexible, so you can adjust it anytime to match your needs. Whether you want to switch billing cycles, upgrade to VIP, change your plan tier, or cancel, you can do it all quickly and securely from your account.

Change Your Billing Cycle (Monthly ↔ Yearly ↔ 2-Year)

Guardio offers flexible billing so you can choose what works best for your budget and protection needs:

  • Monthly – Maximum flexibility with payments every month.
  • Yearly – Great savings compared to monthly.
  • 2-Year – Our best value, locking in protection for 24 months at the lowest monthly rate.

Cancel Your Subscription

Important: Deleting your Guardio account or uninstalling the Guardio extension or mobile app does not cancel your trial or subscription. You must follow the correct steps for your payment method.

If You Paid by Credit Card or PayPal

Desktop or Mobile App:

  1. Go to Subscription.
  2. Click or tap Manage Plan next to your plan.
  3. Under the Free plan, click Select.
  4. Click Cancel Anyway.
  5. Click Cancel Subscription to save.
     

On the mobile app, first tap the profile iconSubscriptionManage Subscription, then follow the same steps above.

If You Paid Through the App Store or Google Play

  1. Open the Guardio app.
  2. Tap the profile icon (top-right corner).
  3. Tap Subscription.
  4. Tap Cancel Subscription and follow the instructions.
  5. Tap Go to Apple Subscriptions or Go to Google Play Subscriptions to complete the cancellation in your store account.

Not Sure How You Paid?

  1. Go to the Subscription page in your profile.
  2. Check the Payment Method — it will show Credit Card, PayPal, or App Store/Google Play Store.

     

Additional Notes:

  • Billing Coverage: Premium protection continues until the end of your current billing cycle. Once you have successfully canceled, you won't be charged for future service unless you reactivate.
  • Trial Authorization Hold: If you see a charge during your free trial, it’s a temporary hold to verify your payment method, not an actual charge.
  • Basic Plan: If you’re on the Basic plan, there’s no subscription page — simply uninstall the Guardio extension or app to stop using it.

 

Need help?

If you have trouble cancelling, our support team can walk you through it — but sending a message alone does not cancel your subscription.
