When VSCO introduced its subscription model in 2016-2017, presets that users had already purchased individually suddenly went gray and were locked behind the new paywall. Users were forced to pay again for filters they had already bought, with many feeling betrayed by this bait-and-switch tactic.
Multiple users report that VSCO falsely advertises a 7-day free trial but charges immediately upon signup. When users contact support about these unauthorized charges, they receive dismissive responses or no response at all.
VSCO does not allow users to cancel memberships or turn off auto-renewal from within the app itself. Users must navigate to their device settings or the Stripe billing platform, and VSCO support explicitly states they cannot cancel subscriptions for users.
VSCO states it cannot refund Plus or Pro memberships; App Store and Google Play buyers must request refunds from Apple or Google. Only the new VSCO One plan has a one-time 30-day refund window, and downloading its Film Presets voids it.
VSCO One launched in June 2026 at $499.99/year, billed annually only, bundling Pro editing with the Workspace CRM. Coverage noted backlash from users who thought the mobile editor itself now cost $500, and criticism that desktop editing and RAW support were still listed as coming soon.
