Is RStudio Online fraud?

• Subscription Renewal: Users may see charges if they have signed up for a subscription service that automatically renews, such as RStudio Teams or RStudio Cloud.
• One-Time Purchases: If users purchased software licenses for RStudio products, they would see a charge for that transaction.
• Cloud Usage Fees: RStudio Cloud users might incur charges based on the resources used or for additional features beyond the free tier.
• Trial Period Expiry: Charges may appear after a trial period ends, transitioning to a paid subscription if not canceled.
• Add-On Services: Fees for additional services or plugins that enhance RStudio capabilities can also lead to charges.
• Failed Cancellations: Some users reported unexpected charges after attempting to cancel a subscription but not confirming the cancellation process properly.
• Account Mismanagement: Users might accidentally create multiple accounts leading to multiple charges, particularly if they forget about a previous subscription.
• Promotional Offers: Users may be charged upon conversion from a promotional offer to a standard paid plan, depending on the terms of the promotion.

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the r-studio.com via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the r-studio.com refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with r-studio.com, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.

If this sounds like too much of a hassle, you can have Chargeback do it for you.
