YNAB's telephone number is 512-920-0596, and its support team works mainly in writing: send a message from inside the web app or the iOS or Android app, or start from the help centre at ynab.com. Say which platform you are on, give the email address the subscription is under, and attach screenshots of the screen where things went wrong. If the subscription was bought through the Apple App Store or Google Play, the purchase, the renewal and any refund follow that store's rules rather than YNAB's, so read the receipt first to see who actually took the money.

Renewal charged at a higher price than the one you signed up on? Put it through our complaint process and we help you write it up in minutes, with the sign-up price, the renewal date and the amount taken all in the right place.

Where you cancel a YNAB subscription depends on where you bought it. A plan taken directly on ynab.com is cancelled in the account settings on the web, while a plan bought through the Apple App Store or Google Play has to be cancelled in that store's own subscription settings, because YNAB cannot stop a billing agreement it does not hold. Cancel ahead of the renewal date rather than after it, and screenshot the confirmation with the date visible. Cancelling stops the next charge; on its own it does not reverse one that has already been taken.

A YNAB refund is requested from whoever took the money: YNAB support for a plan bought on ynab.com, or Apple or Google for a plan bought inside their stores, and each applies its own refund rules and its own window. Ask in writing with the date and amount of the charge, the email address on the account and the reason, then keep the reply. If the charge was a renewal you did not intend, say when you last used the product and when you cancelled. Where the charge sits on a card, the card issuer's dispute process is a separate route running on its own timetable.

Refused a refund on a subscription you had already cancelled? Bring the case to us and our AI opens a case file and coaches you through the next moves: what to reply, when to push, and how far this can be escalated.

A broken bank connection in YNAB usually fails at the data provider sitting between the app and your bank rather than inside YNAB itself, which is why the fix often means re-authorising the link at the bank's end. Refresh or reconnect the account in YNAB first, then check whether the bank has changed its login, added a security step or moved to a new online banking platform. Duplicated transactions normally come from an account being linked twice or from an import overlapping a manual entry, so compare the dates before deleting anything. Note the bank name, the date the connection broke and any error text, because that is what makes a support message useful.

Nothing has been reported about YNAB here yet. Our research shows what typically goes wrong with a subscription budgeting app: bank connections that drop out or import the same transaction twice, an annual subscription that renews automatically at a higher price, refund windows that are easy to miss, a steep learning curve once the trial ends, support that is handled in writing rather than by phone, and questions about exporting data or closing an account cleanly.

Recognise the duplicated transactions, or the renewal that arrived at a price you had not agreed? Set it out here and your case becomes the record the next subscriber hit by the same duplicate imports or the same renewal price can point to.

Your complaint gets its own public page on Complain.biz and we get to work: we bring it to the attention of YNAB through emails, social media, paper complaint letters and other tools at our disposal.

And we stay with it after you file. Our trained AI opens a case file for you and keeps coaching: what to reply, when to push again, and how to escalate if nothing happens.

Yes. We have an active community of consumers, and complaints here are public: people who ran into the same problem with YNAB can give you advice or back you up with their own story. A complaint with a community behind it is much harder to overlook.
