How to uninstall an app before the stupid trial expires?

Scott Beeson_bcj5yr

I signed up for a trial of an app. I immediately hated it. I tried to uninstall it. "You must cancel the trial first". 18 clicks later I have cancelled the trial. I refresh the app management page and the cancellation button is still grayed out. I go back to the Manage Subscriptions page and annoyingly see this:

Pending for cancellation in 30 days
We’ve received your request to cancel this subscription. It will be canceled at the end of your current billing cycle on Jun 9, 2024. You can continue using your app until then.

I don't want to continue using it. I want it to go away NOW. If my users start using this it will be a disaster. I need it gone!

Apparently, this is just a known issue/by design.

The solution is to put in a ticket to the billing team.

@Scott Beeson What app is it that is preventing your ability to uninstall?

@Scott Beeson I checked out their documentation and there was nothing of help there. I would suggest submitting a support issue to the vendor here: https://communardo.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/4

It seems like you're implying the 3rd party app vendor controls this? That seems unlikely. Can you confirm that other apps can be uninstalled regardless of trial status?

Hi @Scott Beeson

So you're on a Free Confluence (up to 10 users) and the app is free for up to ten users.

So what you see appears to be some sort of a limbo state... can't uninstall, because you need to cancel the subs, but you can't cancel the sub because there's (effectively) none.

As you are on a free plan and the app is free for you, you will not be charged. I've seen that message / warning many time when I had a Free plan Confluence and was never charged a cent after the trial expired.

You should be able to uninstall the app after the trial.

Having said that, getting in touch with the vendor, as @Brant Schroeder suggested, is a good idea.

There's a 'Get in touch with us' button on the app's pricing tab page (at least on my screen) in the Marketplace.

I'm not worried about being charged.

Same issue here, tried two apps in a trial mode. Now I cannot uninstall them until their trial ends.

Not a money issue, just have two different git integrations in a middle of the issue screen without any ability to remove the unused ones.

What is the purpose of trial, if it is impossible to stop it when one needs ?

Quite a brutal policy I would say.

You've also highlighted the ignorance of removing the "Discussion" option from the community. I hate the forced Q&A format. It makes it look really silly when you want to contribute to the discussion but don't have an answer.
