What happens if I cancel a subscription but still have time left on the billing cycle?

If you cancel a subscription during your billing cycle, most companies let you retain access until the period ends, then stop access when the next billing cycle starts. However, some companies cut your access to the service immediately after cancellation.

Is it safe to use third-party apps for subscription management?

Yes, using third-party apps dedicated to subscription management is generally safe. Just ensure you choose reputable services with strong security protocols, like encryption, that protect your account information and associated personal data.

Can I cancel a free trial before I’m charged?

Yes. To avoid charges after a free trial, cancel it well before it expires — canceling early should allow plenty of time for the cancellation to finish processing so you’re not charged. Many services even let you keep trial benefits until the period ends, but check the service's cancellation policy to be sure.
