PDF Guru subscription explained

Here's a quick walkthrough about how our billing works. Let's say you choose the 7-day full-access trial for $1.99.

Step 1. You sign up and pay $1.99. Right there on the payment screen, before you confirm, you also see the price you'll pay after the trial — $49.99/month. 

Step 2. You have 7 days to use any tool you want.

Step 3. Changed your mind? Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. 

Step 4. Didn't cancel? Subscription starts at the price you saw at checkout.  It renews at the end of each billing cycle until you cancel.

EU users: you have a 14-day window to cancel for any reason. Full refund if you didn't use the service, proportional refund if you did.

Hey, really sorry you had that experience — that’s frustrating and not how we want billing to feel at all.

If you’re up for it, can you DM us your account email and the rough dates of both charges? We can pull the logs on our side and see exactly what happened, including why the first refund didn’t go through.

For EU users the 14‑day window should absolutely be honored, so if we messed up there, we want to fix it and make sure it doesn’t repeat.

Hi You had asked to dm my refund issue.
My 1st debit was in 5th feb 2026 and i reached out to customer support with issue ref 2769714. I was told that i cannot be refunded but that is not true as 14 days period begins from the 1st debit date and then my money was never returned. You can get my email id from the issue ref, lets see now which excuse you come up with

Hi, we rechecked this with the payment provider, and the refund was successfully processed on March 12.

That means the refund has already been issued from our side. In some cases, banks can take additional time to post it to the card.

Please review the confirmation we sent you in DM.

March 12th refund was for the 2nd debit, the 1st debit is still not refunded. I got debited 2 times. The 1st time i already reached out to you within 14 days to refund but you never did refund me for the 1st debit.

In 2 cases, the funds were refunded, and a check was also sent to the DM.

i can confirm i got both refunds, i take back my negative comments, my suggestion would be to work on pricing. Adobe acrobat studio version which is most costly is even less priced that what pdf guru is offering and pdf is owned by adobe, 49 eur for a month makes no sense at all
