MICO Auto-Renewal Guide: How to Manage or Cancel VIP Subscription

·Live Streaming Hub

MICO VIP is a recurring subscription that unlocks premium features — unlimited video calls, ad-free browsing, priority placement in search results, and special profile badges. It's convenient when you want it, and annoying when it renews and you didn't mean to keep it. This guide covers everything: what you're paying for, how auto-renewal works, the exact cancellation steps for every platform, and what happens to your benefits after you cancel.

What MICO VIP Includes

Before managing your subscription, it helps to know what you're actually getting. MICO VIP is available in three billing cycles — Weekly (7 days), Monthly (30 days), and Annual (365 days) — all auto-renewable. The annual plan is listed at $99.99, though actual pricing may vary by region and currency.

Core VIP Benefits

The following benefits are based on MICO's in-app VIP description and user reports. MICO's Terms of Use (Section 7) govern subscription services but do not enumerate specific VIP features in the public document.

VIP Tiers Through Gifting

Beyond the subscription, MICO also has a VIP tier progression system tied to gifting activity. Based on community reports, sending VIP-tier gifts (1,000–5,000 Coins) accelerates your tier progression, unlocking:

  • Exclusive profile badges visible in all rooms

  • Priority comment display during live streams

  • Access to VIP-only rooms and host interactions

  • Enhanced full-screen gift animations

This gifting-based VIP progression is separate from your subscription VIP. A subscription gives you VIP status immediately; gifting builds your VIP tier level over time. Both can coexist and stack benefits.

How Auto-Renewal Works

MICO's subscription system follows standard App Store and Google Play auto-renewal mechanics. Understanding the timing is critical if you want to avoid being charged for another cycle.

The 24-Hour Rule

Both Apple and Google process renewal charges within 24 hours before your current subscription period expires. This means:

  • If your monthly subscription ends on July 20 at 11:59 PM, the renewal charge hits your account on July 19 or July 20

  • If you cancel before that 24-hour window, no charge occurs

  • If you cancel during that 24-hour window, the charge may still process — you'll keep VIP for the new period, but cancellation takes effect at the end of that new period

MICO's Terms of Use (Section 7.8) acknowledge that there may be a display delay in updating the auto-renewal status, and that the status shown in the app prevails. So if you cancel through Apple/Google but the MICO app still shows "auto-renewal active," check back in a few hours — the status updates after the payment platform syncs with MICO's servers.

No Mid-Cycle Cancellation

Per MICO's Terms (Section 7.7): "No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during the active subscription period." When you cancel, you keep all VIP benefits until the current billing period ends. You don't get a refund for the remaining days, but you also don't lose access prematurely.

How to Cancel on iOS (iPhone and iPad)

If you subscribed through the App Store, Apple manages your subscription — not MICO. You must cancel through Apple's settings.

Step-by-Step

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad

  2. Tap your name at the top of the screen

  3. Tap Subscriptions

  4. Find and tap MICO in your list of active subscriptions

  5. Tap Cancel Subscription (you may need to scroll down)

  6. Confirm the cancellation

What You'll See

If cancellation is successful, the subscription page will display an expiration date in red text. If you don't see a "Cancel Subscription" button, or if you see an expiration message in red, the subscription is already canceled and will not renew.

Via Mac

  1. Open the App Store app

  2. Click your name (or sign in if not visible)

  3. Click Account Settings

  4. Scroll to Subscriptions → click Manage

  5. Find MICO → click Edit

  6. Click Cancel Subscription

Via Apple Music App on Windows

  1. Open Apple Music or Apple TV app on Windows

  2. Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar → View My Account

  3. Scroll to Settings → next to Subscriptions, click Manage

  4. Find MICO → click EditCancel Subscription

How to Cancel on Android (Google Play)

If you subscribed through Google Play, Google manages the subscription.

Step-by-Step

  1. Open the Google Play Store app

  2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner

  3. Tap Payments & subscriptions

  4. Tap Subscriptions

  5. Find and tap MICO

  6. Tap Cancel subscription

  7. Follow the on-screen instructions to confirm

Via Web Browser

  1. Go to play.google.com/store/account

  2. Sign in with the Google account used to subscribe

  3. Scroll to the Subscriptions section

  4. Find MICO → click Manage

  5. Click Cancel subscription

  6. Confirm the cancellation

Important Notes for Android Users

  • Uninstalling the MICO app does NOT cancel your subscription. You must cancel through Google Play's subscription management.

  • If you don't see MICO in your Google Play subscriptions, you may have subscribed through a different Google account. Try switching accounts.

  • If your subscription was processed through a carrier or third-party payment provider rather than Google Play directly, contact that provider to cancel.

How to Pause Your Subscription (Google Play Only)

Some Android subscriptions can be paused instead of fully canceled. This freezes billing for a set period (typically 1 week to 3 months) and resumes automatically afterward.

  1. Open Google Play Store → profile icon → Payments & subscriptionsSubscriptions

  2. Select MICO

  3. Tap ManagePause payment

  4. Set the pause duration

  5. Tap Confirm

Not all subscription types support pausing. If you don't see the option, MICO has not enabled it for your plan.

What Happens After You Cancel

Canceling auto-renewal does not immediately revoke your VIP benefits. Here's the timeline:

When You Cancel

What Happens

During current billing period

VIP benefits remain active until period ends

At end of billing period

VIP status expires; account reverts to Free user

After expiration

Ads return, video call limits reset, profile badge removed, search ranking normalizes

What You Keep

  • All Coins in your wallet remain untouched — cancellation only affects the subscription, not your Coin balance

  • Your account and all data remain intact

  • Your VIP tier progression from gifting (if any) is preserved

  • You can re-subscribe at any time

What You Lose

  • Unlimited video calls revert to the daily free limit

  • Advertisements resume

  • Priority search ranking and recommendation boost end

  • VIP profile badge is removed

  • Access to VIP-only rooms and exclusive gift animations is revoked

Common Problems and Solutions

"I canceled but still got charged"

This happens when the cancellation was submitted within the 24-hour renewal window. The charge was already being processed when you canceled.

What to do:

  • Check your subscription status in Apple/Google settings — it should show as "canceled" with an expiration date for the newly paid period

  • You'll keep VIP until that new expiration date, then it won't renew again

  • Apple and Google typically do not refund charges that were already processed, but you can request a refund through their respective refund request systems

"I can't find MICO in my subscriptions"

This usually means you subscribed through a different account.

For iOS: Check which Apple ID was used for the purchase. Search your email for "receipt from Apple" — the receipt shows which account was charged.

For Android: Try signing into Google Play with a different Google account. If you have multiple accounts on your device, the subscription may be tied to one you don't actively use.

"The MICO app still shows auto-renewal active after I canceled"

This is a display sync delay. MICO's Terms (Section 7.8) acknowledge this: "there may be a display delay in updating the automatic renewal status, and the renewal status displayed in the app shall prevail."

What to do: Wait 2–4 hours and check again. If the status hasn't updated after 24 hours, contact MICO support at [email protected] with a screenshot of your Apple/Google cancellation confirmation.

"I subscribed through MICO's website, not the app"

If you subscribed through MICO's web platform rather than the iOS or Android app, cancellation must be done through MICO directly:

  1. Log in to your MICO account on the web

  2. Go to SettingsSubscription

  3. Click Cancel Auto-Renewal

  4. Confirm

If you don't see this option, email [email protected] with your account details and request cancellation.

Changing Your Subscription Plan

MICO offers Weekly, Monthly, and Annual plans. You can switch between them, but the change takes effect at the start of your next billing cycle — not immediately.

On iOS

  1. Go to Settings[Your Name]SubscriptionsMICO

  2. Tap a different plan option (if available)

  3. The change applies at the next renewal date

On Android

  1. Go to Google PlayPayments & subscriptionsSubscriptionsMICO

  2. Tap Manage

  3. Select a different plan

  4. Changes take effect at the next billing cycle

Price Adjustment Warning

MICO's Terms (Section 7.10) reserve the right to adjust subscription prices. If MICO raises the price:

  • You will be charged the new rate at your next renewal

  • You will be notified of the price change before it takes effect

  • If you disagree with the new price, cancel before the renewal date to avoid being charged

  • If you cancel within 24 hours before the period expires, the platform may still deduct the adjusted fee for the next cycle before stopping

This means you should always review price change notifications carefully and cancel promptly if you don't accept the new pricing.

VIP vs. Coin Purchases: Which Makes Sense?

MICO VIP and MICO Coins serve different purposes. Here's a quick comparison to help you decide whether to keep, cancel, or combine them:

Purpose

Best Option

Why

Ad-free browsing

VIP subscription

Only VIP removes ads

Unlimited video calls

VIP subscription

Only VIP unlocks unlimited calls

Sending gifts to streamers

Coin purchase

Coins are the gifting currency

VIP tier progression through gifting

Coin purchase

Gifting builds tier level, separate from subscription

Priority in search/discovery

VIP subscription

Only VIP boosts placement

Supporting favorite hosts

Coin purchase

Coins convert to host earnings

Many active MICO users maintain both a VIP subscription and a Coin balance. If you're primarily a viewer who wants ad-free browsing and unlimited calls, VIP alone is sufficient. If you're a gifter or host who sends gifts regularly, Coins matter more than VIP status.

For the best value on Coin purchases, Topuplist offers MICO Coins at competitive rates with fast delivery — choose the server (MENA or Global) that matches your account region.
