What is the OPAL PRO charge on my credit card?

What this charge usually means

An OPAL PRO charge is typically tied to a paid Opal membership, the premium plan for the Opal screen-time and focus app. Opal offers free and paid tiers, and Pro features are sold through recurring subscriptions (monthly, yearly, and in some cases lifetime options) through app stores or web checkout. On statements, banks often shorten billing text, so you may only see a compact descriptor like OPAL PRO instead of the full company or product name.

If the payment is expected, this is usually a normal digital-service subscription charge. If it is unexpected, it can still be legitimate in common situations such as a forgotten trial conversion, a family member purchase, or a second account using your card.

Why it appeared on your statement

• You started a free trial that automatically converted to a paid Pro plan.
• Your monthly or annual subscription renewed.
• You subscribed via iOS App Store, Google Play, or web checkout and forgot which channel was used.
• A family member used your card on a shared device or account.
• You purchased a program or plan variation under the Opal brand and the descriptor posted as OPAL PRO.

It is also normal for posting dates to differ from purchase dates by one to three business days, so check both authorization and settled transaction timing.

How to verify the charge quickly

First, search your email inbox for terms like “Opal,” “receipt,” “subscription,” or “Stripe.” Then check your App Store and Play Store subscription pages for active plans. If you subscribed on the web, look for billing emails and account access tied to the same email address used in Opal.

Inside the app, open Settings and review your plan status. Opal’s help center also provides contact and cancellation guidance if you cannot identify the billing source. If you compare similar digital descriptors, these pages may also help: Patreon and Cash App.

How to cancel OPAL PRO

Cancellation depends on where you originally subscribed:

• iOS App Store: iPhone Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions > Opal > Cancel.
• Google Play: Play Store > Payments & Subscriptions > Subscriptions > Opal > Cancel.
• Web/Stripe: use the Stripe customer portal link from your billing email or Opal instructions.

Removing the app alone does not stop recurring billing. Cancel through the billing platform first, then keep confirmation emails for your records.

Refunds and disputes

Opal states a 30-day money-back window for purchases made through Stripe (web purchases). App Store and Play Store refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies. If you believe the charge is unauthorized, contact Opal support and your card issuer as soon as possible.

When disputing with your bank, provide: transaction date, amount, any screenshots showing no active subscription (if applicable), cancellation confirmation, and your attempt to contact support. Ask the issuer to block future recurring attempts if needed and to replace your card if you suspect compromise.

In short, OPAL PRO is most often a legitimate subscription descriptor, but unexpected charges should be verified immediately so you can cancel in time and protect your account.
