Help & support

Last updated: July 7, 2026

The practical stuff - billing, cancelling, refunds, and what Riley remembers. If you don't find your answer here, a real person is one email away.

Billing basics

Companion is free forever - no credit card, ever. Coach is a subscription you can pay monthly or annually; annual saves you money. Individual programs and the Self-Guided Bundle are one-time purchases, yours to keep for life.

Cancel anytime

You can cancel a subscription yourself, one click, no phone call, from your account settings. When you cancel, you keep access through the end of the period you've already paid for, and you're not billed again. Your account and history stay - you simply move back to Companion.

Refunds

Subscription (Coach):

Full refund if you email us within 30 days of your original purchase - that's your first payment only.

After 30 days: cancel anytime and billing stops immediately going forward - you're never charged again - but payments already made are not refunded.

Individual programs & the Self-Guided Bundle ($8.14 / $18.14): never refundable - they're instant-delivery content you keep immediately.

To request a subscription refund, email support@meetriley.us from your account email.

What Riley remembers

Riley's long-term memory - carrying your history and context across sessions - is part of Coach. On Companion (the free plan), Riley is fully present in the moment and every topic is open, with a lighter memory of past sessions. Whatever your plan, your data is always yours (see how we handle your data).

If you downgrade

Nothing you shared is deleted when you move to a lower plan. Some features (like long-term memory or the trackers) pause, and they light back up if you upgrade again - your history is right where you left it.

Delete your account or data

You're in control. From account settings you can export or permanently delete everything, anytime. Full detail is on our data and privacy pages.

Is Riley a real person?

No - Riley is an AI companion, and always honest about that. Here's how she works & keeps you safe. If you're ever in crisis, call or text 988, or 911 in an emergency.

Riley's crisis support is built on published suicide-prevention guidance, and it is not a substitute for clinical care. Riley is not monitored continuously. If you may be in immediate danger, call 911 or contact 988 now.
