What is the LIFESUM PREMIUM charge?

A LIFESUM PREMIUM charge is usually a paid membership for the Lifesum nutrition and meal-planning app. Lifesum Premium is sold as an auto-renewing subscription in most cases, not a one-time purchase. Depending on where you signed up, the payment may be processed by Apple App Store, Google Play, Lifesum web checkout, Samsung Galaxy Store, PayPal, or Paddle. Even when the app brand you remember is just “Lifesum,” your bank can still show a short descriptor like LIFESUM PREMIUM.

If you share a payment method with family members, a partner, or a team account, someone else may have started a trial that converted to paid billing. The charge can also appear after a discount period ends or after an annual plan renews. In short: this descriptor is commonly linked to a legitimate digital subscription renewal.

Why this charge appeared

• You started a Premium plan and it renewed automatically at the end of the billing cycle.
• A free or discounted trial converted into a paid plan.
• You purchased through a third-party billing platform (Apple, Google, or Paddle), but the descriptor still references Lifesum Premium.
• A household member used your card on a shared device account.
• You switched plans (for example monthly to yearly) and saw a new billing amount.

How to verify the transaction

Check your email for a receipt around the posting date and amount. Look for messages from Lifesum, Apple, Google Play, Samsung, PayPal, or Paddle. Then open Lifesum and review account settings and subscription status. If you bought on the web, log in at Lifesum and open subscription management. If your receipt mentions App Store or Google Play, verify inside that store’s subscription section because Lifesum support cannot directly cancel store-managed subscriptions.

For additional context, compare similar digital descriptors on your statement such as Patreon or wallet/app purchases like Cash App, which can also appear in abbreviated forms.

How to cancel LIFESUM PREMIUM

Cancel using the same platform where you originally purchased. That is the key step that prevents the next renewal.

• Apple App Store: iPhone settings or App Store subscriptions.
• Google Play: Play Store subscriptions and cancel active plan.
• Lifesum website: Sign in and open Manage Subscription.
• Samsung Galaxy Store: Subscription area and unsubscribe.
• Paddle purchase: Use Paddle purchase lookup and cancel there.

Uninstalling the app or deleting your account does not by itself stop renewal billing.

Refunds and disputes

Lifesum’s help guidance states refund requests should generally be made within 14 days of purchase, with process depending on payment channel. App Store refunds are handled by Apple, Google Play refunds by Google, and direct web/card purchases can be requested through Lifesum support. Keep your receipt, purchase ID, statement screenshot, and cancellation timestamp.

If you do not recognize the charge after checking household usage and purchase history, contact your card issuer immediately to report an unauthorized transaction and request a chargeback. Ask the bank to block future merchant-initiated renewals if needed and to issue a replacement card when fraud is suspected.

Bottom line

Most LIFESUM PREMIUM charges are valid subscription renewals for Lifesum’s paid features. Verify the billing channel first, cancel in the correct platform, and use your issuer’s dispute process if the payment was not authorized.
