Manage your Hootsuite mobile subscription - iOS

Updated:

Hootsuite mobile offers in-app subscriptions for upgrades from a free account to the Professional plan. Upgrades begin with a 30-day free trial, and transition to a paid subscription at the end of the 30 days.

Hootsuite mobile subscriptions renew automatically each month or year. They are billed to your Apple ID account payment method at the beginning of each billing cycle.

To avoid unwanted charges, downgrade your Hootsuite mobile account to Free and cancel your payment subscription through the App Store at least 24 hours before your next billing date, or before your free trial expires. 

Important: If your Hootsuite account was not upgraded via in-app mobile subscription, it must be downgraded or cancelled via the web dashboard. See how to downgrade on desktop. See how to cancel on desktop.

To cancel your Hootsuite account and mobile subscription

    1. In your device Settings, select [Your Name] - Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes & App Store.
    2. Select iTunes & App Store.
    3. Select your Apple ID, and then select View Apple ID. You may be prompted to sign in.

Mobile subscription billing

Subscriptions for the Hootsuite mobile app are paid to Apple, and are therefore subject to Apple’s Services Terms and Conditions. Hootsuite does not have visibility into purchases made through an app store, or access to information about those transactions.

If you experience an issue with any Apple purchases, please visit Apple Support. You will be asked to sign in with your Apple ID and password, and then you can select Report a Problem beside the app.

Changes to the billing information or payment method on file for your mobile subscription must also be made through Apple. See Apple's help article for instructions
