Protip for apps/services that require monthly payments: pay and immediately cancel. You've already payed for a month, so the service will keep working until the next billing day, but it won't renew because you've already canceled.

that service will keep working until the next billing day

You wish. I have had one too many services that cancel immediately upon request, even if you paid for the month 3 days ago.

Maybe it differs per country or state. I've done it dozens of times, never failed me.

I live in the Netherlands, maybe theres a law that mandates it, but I'm not 100% sure.

I live in the Netherlands too, but I'm certain this was an online service from the US. It's definitely a minority of them but it happens nonetheless
