What Happens After You Cancel Fantastical?

Fantastical reverts to the free tier

You can still use Fantastical as a basic calendar app. It still looks gorgeous -- you just lose the premium bells and whistles like weather forecasts, interesting calendars, and proposal scheduling.

Your calendar data is safe

Fantastical reads from your existing calendar accounts (iCloud, Google, Outlook, etc.). Your events are stored in those services, not in Fantastical itself. Nothing gets deleted.

Premium features become locked

Features like weather overlay, tasks integration, calendar sets, interesting calendars, and proposal scheduling will be locked behind the paywall again. Basic calendar viewing and event creation still work fine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to Fantastical when I cancel Premium?

Fantastical drops down to its free tier. You keep the app and basic functionality (viewing calendars, creating events), but premium features like weather, calendar sets, tasks, and proposals get locked. It is still usable, just less fancy.

Can I get a refund for Fantastical?

Since Fantastical Premium is billed through Apple, you need to request a refund through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. Apple is generally reasonable about refunds if requested shortly after purchase or renewal.

Will I lose my calendar events after canceling?

No. Your calendar events are stored in your calendar accounts (iCloud, Google, Exchange, etc.), not in Fantastical. The app is just a viewer. Cancel away without fear of losing a single birthday reminder.

Is there a yearly plan that saves money?

Yes. Fantastical offers an annual plan at $39.99/year, which works out to about $3.33/month compared to the $4.99 monthly price. If you decide to keep it, the yearly plan saves you about $20 per year.

Does Fantastical work on multiple devices with one subscription?

Yes. One Fantastical Premium subscription covers all your Apple devices -- iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. It syncs across all of them through your Flexibits account.
