## Quick answer

Cancel before the renewal date, not after: most AI stock tools stop the renewal but keep your access until the paid period ends, and most won't refund a charge that has already gone through. Only Danelfin (30 days) and WallStreetZen (90 days) offer a money-back guarantee; Finviz, TrendSpider and TradingView refund only within a short window. Below are each tool's cancel steps and refund rules, from their own terms, checked November 2026.

## Why this matters

On Reddit, "it auto-renewed and they won't refund me" came up in 8 of the 48 buyer threads I read. That's more often than complaints about the picks themselves. The fix is boring but it works: cancel early, and keep proof.

## Four rules that save you money

1. **Set a reminder for the day before a trial ends,** not the day it ends. Don't cancel on day one without checking first: some tools, like TradingView, end a cancelled trial straight away.
2. **Put the renewal date in your calendar** the day you pay yearly. One Seeking Alpha user reported the renewal reminder arriving only a week before the charge.
3. **Get it in writing.** Screenshot the confirmation page or keep the email. If you subscribed through an app store, cancel there, because deleting the app does nothing.
4. **Read the refund rule before paying yearly.** Where sales are final, a cheaper yearly price is only a saving if you're sure you'll use it.

All of these terms side by side are in my [trial and refund table](https://bestaistocktools.com/data/trial-and-refund-terms). For how trials quietly roll into paid plans, see [free-trial auto-renewal](https://bestaistocktools.com/glossary/free-trial-auto-renewal).

## Tool by tool

### How to cancel AltIndex

Cancel in your account settings or email support@altindex.com. It takes effect at the end of the billing period and you keep access until then. (source: https://altindex.com/terms, checked 2026-11-09)

Refunds: All payments are final and non-refundable, including renewals you forgot to cancel and accidental purchases.

### How to cancel Danelfin

Cancel any time under Subscriptions & Billing in the user menu (the Cancel Plan button) or by emailing support@danelfin.com. It stops renewing; Plus and Pro keep their paid features until the period ends, then the account drops to Free. (source: https://danelfin.com/pricing/monthly, checked 2026-11-09)

Refunds: 30-day money-back guarantee, counted from the day a new subscription starts. Cancel during the free trial and you're not charged at all.

### How to cancel Finviz

Cancel in your account settings. That stops the next renewal and you keep Elite until the paid period ends. For a refund inside 30 days, email support from your account email. (source: https://finviz.com/help/faq, checked 2026-11-09)

Refunds: Refunds are issued only in the first 30 days, and only if you ask in writing. Later payments are non-refundable.

### How to cancel Intellectia AI

Log in at intellectia.ai, go to User Profile > Billing and choose Cancel Subscription. If you subscribed in an app store, cancel there; deleting the app doesn't cancel. You keep access to the next billing date. (source: https://intellectia.ai/terms-of-service, checked 2026-11-09)

Refunds: No refunds on monthly plans (including the discounted first month), upgrades, crypto payments or the $1 trial fee. On annual plans, no refund once the trial has ended.

### How to cancel Kavout

The pricing page says you can cancel any time, but the terms ask for 30 days' written notice (contact@kavout.co), after which auto-renewal stops. You keep access to the end of the paid period. (source: https://www.kavout.com/terms-of-use/, checked 2026-11-09)

Refunds: Kavout's terms say it isn't obliged to refund, whatever the reason, even if you cancel right after a renewal charge. The terms are dated 2019 but are the live version.

### How to cancel Morningstar Investor

Cancel online under My Account > Subscription > Cancel Subscription, by phone, or by emailing cancellation@morningstar.com. Plans renew automatically for the same term at the then-current price. Subscriptions bought through Apple in-app purchase can only be cancelled through Apple. Cancelling removes access to your portfolios, watchlists and saved screens (you can download portfolio data first). (source: https://www.morningstar.com/help-center/manage-account/cancel-subscription, checked 2026-11-09)

Refunds: No refunds: "Pre-paid subscriptions are non-refundable." Cancel during the 7-day free trial and you pay nothing; cancel later and you keep access until the end of the term you paid for.

### How to cancel Motley Fool Stock Advisor

Cancel in your account settings page, or turn off auto-renewal through Member Services at (877) 629-2589 (9am-5pm ET, Mon-Fri) or the contact form. Memberships renew automatically at the then-current list price. Access to the service ends immediately when you cancel. (source: https://support.fool.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000237587-How-do-I-cancel-my-subscription, checked 2026-11-09)

Refunds: Membership Fee Back Guarantee: "If Stock Advisor isn't for you, cancel within 30 days and you'll receive every penny of your membership fee back." The terms limit the guarantee to annual offers that include it, never more than 30 days, for new members, once per service; otherwise there are no refunds.

### How to cancel Roic AI

Cancel any time in your account settings, before the next billing cycle. Otherwise it auto-renews. (source: https://www.roic.ai/tos, checked 2026-11-09)

### How to cancel Seeking Alpha Premium

Log in, open Account Settings from your profile icon, and cancel under your paid subscriptions. It stops at the end of the current billing period, monthly or yearly. (source: https://help.seekingalpha.com/migration/premium/how-can-i-manage-my-subscription, checked 2026-11-09)

Refunds: Seeking Alpha says subscription fees are non-refundable unless it agrees otherwise in writing. So cancel during the free trial if you're unsure, not after the $299 charge.

### How to cancel Tickeron

Click your name (top right), then Subscriptions, then Schedule to Unsubscribe. It ends on the last day of the billing cycle, and you still owe that cycle's charges. (source: https://tickeron.com/trading-investing-101/faq-how-do-i-cancel-my-subscriptions-on-your-desktop/, checked 2026-11-09)

Refunds: Tickeron's FAQ says there is no refund once a payment has gone through; you can only schedule a cancellation to avoid the next charge. Its client agreement adds that no refund is given for picking the wrong level.

### How to cancel TipRanks

To cancel or downgrade within the 30-day guarantee, email support@tipranks.com within 30 days. Subscriptions bought in the mobile app are managed and cancelled through Apple or Google. (source: https://www.tipranks.com/plans, checked 2026-11-09)

Refunds: 30-day money-back guarantee on annual and multi-year plans bought on the TipRanks website, including renewals and upgrades there. No refunds on monthly plans. Usable once per user, per product, in any 12 months. App Store and Google Play purchases are refunded by those stores, not TipRanks.

### How to cancel Trade Ideas

Cancel any time in Account Management or the Billing Portal, or email info@trade-ideas.com if you can't get in. It stops at the end of the billing period you've paid for. (source: https://www.trade-ideas.com/trade-ideas-university/billing-cancellation-refund-policy/, checked 2026-11-09)

Refunds: All sales are final under the policy that took effect on September 14, 2026. No refund on a paid invoice, annual plan, downgrade or promotional purchase; billing errors are corrected if reported within 60 days. Older "30-day money-back" claims on other sites are out of date.

### How to cancel TradingView

Cancel anytime; the plan stops renewing and stays active until the end of the paid term. A cancelled trial ends immediately. (source: https://www.tradingview.com/pricing/, checked 2026-11-09)

Refunds: Annual plans only: ask support within 14 calendar days of payment. No refunds on monthly plans, upgrades or market data, even if you cancel the same day, and none after a chargeback.

### How to cancel TrendSpider

Cancel from your account. It takes effect at the end of the billing cycle, so you keep access for the time you paid for. (source: https://trendspider.com/pricing/, checked 2026-11-09)

Refunds: You can ask for a refund within 72 hours of a full-plan charge or renewal, minus any trial fee. Trial fees are non-refundable, and Black Friday plans are final sale.

### How to cancel VectorVest

Cancel through the online customer portal, by phone or by email before the next billing date. The plan runs to the end of the period you paid for. To avoid the first full charge, cancel within the 30-day trial. (source: https://www.vectorvest.com/refund-policy/, checked 2026-11-09)

Refunds: Only the trial is refundable: tell VectorVest within 30 days for a refund of the trial fee. Monthly and annual subscriptions get no refunds; cancelling stops the next renewal. Add-on modules such as ProTrader and AutoTimer are non-refundable.

### How to cancel WallStreetZen

Cancel in the billing portal under Account Settings, or email contact@wallstreetzen.com. Billing continues until you tell them you're leaving. (source: https://www.wallstreetzen.com/terms-of-service, checked 2026-11-09)

Refunds: 90-day money-back guarantee on both Premium and Zen Investor, under the terms updated August 6, 2026. Older help articles that say 30 days are out of date.

## Before you buy a sale

Black Friday prices are first-year prices, and several of these companies treat sale purchases as final. Read the renewal terms on the [Black Friday deals page](https://bestaistocktools.com/deals/black-friday-ai-stock-tools) before you commit. And if you're still deciding whether to pay at all, start with [do AI stock pickers actually work?](https://bestaistocktools.com/guides/do-ai-stock-pickers-work)

## FAQ

### Can I get a refund if I forgot to cancel an annual renewal?

Usually not. Seeking Alpha, Trade Ideas, Tickeron, Intellectia, Kavout, AltIndex and VectorVest say payments are final or non-refundable. Danelfin (30 days) and WallStreetZen (90 days) have money-back guarantees; Finviz, TrendSpider and TradingView refund only inside a short window.

### Does deleting the app cancel my subscription?

No. Intellectia's terms say so explicitly, and it applies generally: if you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, cancel in that store; otherwise cancel in the tool's account or billing settings.

### What if a company won't let me cancel?

Keep written proof that you asked, by email or a screenshot of the cancel page. Reddit users report that disputing an unwanted renewal charge with their card issuer is the last resort when a company refuses; check your card's dispute rules first.
