TL;DR
Simple Premium is the paid tier of the Simple Life app. It runs $59.99 a year, or roughly $14.99 to $29.99 a month depending on tier (standard US prices as of August 2026, and they change by region). To cancel, go back to the platform you paid on: App Store, Google Play, or the Simple website. Deleting the app does NOT stop billing, there is no cancel phone number, and Commitment Plans follow separate rules.
Simple Premium buys you the full Coach Avo AI, Avo Vision photo scanning, personalized fasting plans, and the workbook library. Canceling it takes about two minutes once you know where you paid, and your fasting history stays in your account either way.
The short version, by where you paid:
- iPhone or iPad: Settings > your name > Subscriptions > Simple > Cancel Subscription.
- Android: Play Store > profile icon > Payments and subscriptions > Subscriptions > Simple > Cancel subscription.
- simple.life website: Simple app > profile icon > Manage subscription (tap it twice) > verify your email > Plan Management > Turn off auto-renewal.
- Commitment Plan: those steps will not release you during the locked 3, 6, or 10 months. Read the Commitment Plan section first.
Simple has over 20 million downloads, 800,000+ active subscribers, and a 4.7-star rating across 345,000 App Store reviews. Fortune named it the best intermittent fasting app in 2026, and it won Best Virtual Health Coach from MedTech Breakthrough in 2025.
As a NutriScan nutritionist, I see this pattern constantly. A 2019 usage analysis of 93 popular mental health apps (Baumel et al.) found that a median of only 3.3% of users were still active 30 days after installing. That does not mean the app failed. Goals change, and sometimes a different tool fits better.
Simple has three separate cancel paths depending on how you originally paid, plus a Commitment Plan that locks you in for months. This guide covers every path. If you are still deciding, our Simple Premium review breaks down what each tier actually gives you.
Three platforms, two subscription types, one guide to get through it all.
What Happens When You Cancel Simple Premium โ
Before you tap anything, know what canceling actually does.
- You will not be charged again. Your subscription stops renewing at the end of the current billing period.
- You keep Premium access until your paid period ends. If you paid for a year and cancel in month three, you still have nine months of Premium features.
- Your account stays active. Canceling does not delete your fasting history, weight data, or profile.
- You drop to the free plan. You keep the basic fasting timer, limited Avo coach replies (2 per day), and 1 photo scan per day.
- Uninstalling the app does not cancel your subscription. This is the single most common mistake users make.
Which Simple Premium Plan Are You On? ๐ โ
Simple has two very different subscription models. Picking the wrong cancel path is the most common mistake.
Regular Premium Plans โ
| Plan | Typical Price | Billing |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly | ~$15/mo | Renews every month |
| Quarterly (3 months) | ~$9.99/mo | Renews every 3 months |
| 9-month | Varies | Renews every 9 months |
| Annual | Less than $5/mo | Renews every 12 months |
Prices vary by region and promotional offers. The App Store lists multiple tiers including Simple Premium at $59.99/year and Simple Pro at $14.99-$29.99.
Commitment Plans โ
These are different. You agree to pay a reduced monthly rate for a locked period of 3, 6, or 10 months. You generally cannot cancel a Commitment Plan early.
CHECK YOUR PLAN TYPE
Open the Simple app. Tap your profile icon. Tap "Manage Subscription." If you see the words "Commitment Plan" above your billing details, you are on a commitment plan and need a different cancel process. See the Commitment Plan section below.
Where You Bought Simple Premium Decides Where You Cancel ๐ โ
Simple sells subscriptions through three channels. You must cancel through the same channel where you purchased. Canceling in the wrong place does nothing.
| Purchase Channel | How to Identify |
|---|---|
| Apple App Store | Check Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions |
| Google Play Store | Check Play Store > Payments & subscriptions |
| Simple website | You entered email + card on simple.life or signed up via Facebook/PayPal |
CHECK YOUR BANK STATEMENT
- "APPLE.COM/BILL" = App Store purchase
- "GOOGLE*SIMPLE" or "GOOGLE*AM APPS" = Google Play purchase
- "SIMPLE.LIFE" or payment processor name = Website purchase
What you lose with Simple, and what NutriScan gives you free โ
If you are canceling because the price stopped making sense, here is how the paid Simple features line up against NutriScan's free plan.
| Simple Premium paid feature | NutriScan |
|---|---|
| Coach Avo AI chat | Monika, a voice AI nutritionist you talk to out loud. 4 calls a week on the free plan, unlimited on Premium |
| Avo Vision photo scanning | Photo food scan, 5 a week free, unlimited on Premium |
| Personalized fasting plans | Fasting timer, schedules and history, free, no paid tier needed |
| Personalized meal plans | 28-day diet plans with macros, grocery list and swaps. This one is Premium in NutriScan too |
| Food logging | Unlimited manual logging on the free plan, with calories, macros, micronutrients and a NutriScore per meal |
Simple Premium is $59.99 a year. NutriScan Premium is about $59 a year, and the free plan has no time limit.
Simple Premium Price: What Simple App Premium Costs ๐ฐ โ
Before you cancel, here is what you are currently paying. Prices below are standard US prices as of August 2026 and change by region and promotion.
| Plan | Annual Cost | Per Month |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly | ~$180/year | ~$15.00 |
| Quarterly | ~$119.88/year | ~$9.99 |
| Annual (Premium) | $59.99/year | ~$5.00 |
| Annual (Pro) | $14.99-$29.99 | ~$1.25-$2.50 |
Source: Simple on the App Store. The App Store also lists Simple Pro at $14.99/month and Simple Premium at $29.99/month on monthly billing, which is the split our Simple Premium review walks through tier by tier. Our Simple app pricing guide lays the free tier and every paid tier side by side if you want the full picture before you cancel.
At the high end ($180/year on monthly billing), Simple costs more than most competitors. At the annual rate ($59.99/year), it sits in the middle:
Figure 1: Simple Premium at its $59.99 annual rate sits mid pack, level with Cronometer Gold and well under Noom at $209. NutriScan Premium is about $59 a year. Prices are standard US annual rates as of mid 2026 and change by region.

Cancel a Simple Life App Subscription on Android ๐ค โ
Google Play gives you two options. Both work the same way.
Option A: Cancel from inside the Simple app โ
- Open the Simple app. Tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
- Scroll down and tap "Manage subscription."
- Tap "Manage subscription" again on the next screen. This redirects you to Google Play.
- Tap "Simple: AI Weight Loss and Health."
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm.
Option B: Cancel directly in Google Play Store โ
- Open the Google Play Store app.

Refund for Google Play purchases: Visit Google Play Support or go to Play Store > Account > Order history > find the charge > Request a refund.
Cancel a Simple Life Subscription Bought on the Website ๐ โ
If you subscribed on simple.life (or through a Facebook ad, PayPal, or direct card payment on the website):
- Open the Simple app. Tap the profile icon at the top.
- Tap "Manage subscription." Then tap it again on the next screen.
- Enter the email address you used when subscribing. Simple will send you a verification code. Enter the code.
- You will be redirected to your profile page. Scroll down and tap "Plan Management."
- Tap "Turn off auto-renewal" to cancel your subscription.
- Complete the short survey. You will see a confirmation once cancellation is complete.
WEBSITE REFUND POLICY
Simple offers a 30-day refund window for website subscriptions. Cancel first, then contact the support team through the chat widget inside the app or on the Simple help center to request your refund.

Refund windows differ by app and by store. Our guide to fasting app refund rules covers what you can reasonably ask for on each platform before you open a ticket.
Is There a Simple Life App Cancel Subscription Phone Number? โ๏ธ โ
No. Simple does not publish a customer service phone number, and no phone line can cancel your subscription for you.
That surprises people, so here is why it works this way. If you paid through the App Store or Google Play, Apple and Google hold the billing relationship, and only you can cancel it from your own account settings. Simple support cannot reach into your Apple ID. If you paid on simple.life, the cancel switch lives in the app under Plan Management, which again only you can reach.
Where you can actually get a human:
| What you need | Where to go |
|---|---|
| Cancel an App Store subscription | Settings > your name > Subscriptions, or appleid.apple.com |
| Cancel a Google Play subscription | Play Store > profile icon > Payments & subscriptions |
| Cancel a website subscription | Simple app > profile icon > Manage subscription > Plan Management |
| Refund, pause, or Commitment Plan question | In-app chat widget, or the Simple help center |
| Apple refund | reportaproblem.apple.com |
WATCH FOR FAKE SUPPORT NUMBERS
Search results and social posts sometimes list a "Simple Life cancellation number." Simple has no such line. Calling one risks handing your card details to a stranger. Cancel in your own account settings instead.
How to Cancel a Commitment Plan ๐ โ
Commitment Plans are the most confusing part of Simple billing. Here is what you need to know.
What is a Commitment Plan? You agree to pay a reduced monthly rate for a fixed period (3, 6, or 10 months). In exchange, you get a lower price per month than the regular subscription.
Can you cancel early? Generally, no. You are locked in for the full duration.
COMMITMENT PLAN WARNING
If you are on a 3, 6, or 10-month Commitment Plan, the standard cancel flow will not work during your locked period. Check your plan type before attempting to cancel.
Exceptions (when you can cancel early):
- Within 7 days of purchase: Contact Simple support through the in-app chat widget.
- EU cooling-off period: Consumer protection laws in the EU give you a right to cancel within 14 days, regardless of what the app terms say.
After the commitment period ends: It converts to a regular subscription. At that point, follow the standard cancel steps above for your platform.

9 Common Mistakes That Cost Money ๐ธ โ
Here are the mistakes Simple users make most often:
Mistake 1: Deleting the app instead of canceling. Uninstalling Simple does not cancel your subscription. You will keep getting charged until you cancel through Settings (Apple), Play Store (Google), or the app's manage subscription flow (website).
Mistake 2: Canceling on the wrong platform. If you bought on the website but try to cancel through Apple Settings, you will not find the subscription.
Mistake 3: Canceling too late. You need to cancel at least 24 hours before your next renewal date.
Mistake 4: Not checking for a Commitment Plan. If you are on a 3, 6, or 10-month Commitment Plan, the standard cancel flow will not work during your locked period.
Mistake 5: Trying to change payment method instead of canceling. Simple does not let you update your payment method directly. Cancel the current subscription and resubscribe with the new method.
Mistake 6: Confusing pause with cancel. Simple offers a pause option for website subscriptions. Pausing stops charges temporarily but keeps your subscription active.
Mistake 7: Ignoring the confirmation screen. If you do not see a confirmation, the cancel did not go through. Take a screenshot.
Mistake 8: Assuming a refund is automatic. Canceling does not trigger a refund. You must request it separately through Apple, Google, or Simple support.
Mistake 9: Not checking bank statements after canceling. Even after a successful cancel, check your statement on your next expected billing date.
Real User Experiences โ
Users on Reddit and Apple Discussions report common frustrations with Simple cancellation:
- Difficulty finding the cancel option for website purchases (requires email verification and multiple taps)
- Confusion about Commitment Plans (users expected to cancel anytime but were locked in for months)
- Charges appearing after deleting the app
A 2024 focus group and interview study with 38 patients (Giebel et al.) found that cost was one of ten problem categories patients raised about health apps, alongside usability, data privacy, and everyday adherence.
What Happens After You Cancel ๐ โ
| Event | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Day of cancel | Premium stays active. No immediate change. |
| End of billing cycle | Premium features locked. You drop to the free plan. |
| Free plan access | Basic fasting timer, limited Avo coach replies (2/day), 1 photo scan/day. |
| Data | Your logged data, weight history, and progress stay in your account. |
| Resubscribe | You can upgrade again anytime from inside the app. |
If you are not sure about canceling, pausing might be a better first step.
You made it through the cancel process. Time to pick your next move.
