Cancel ChatGPT Plus in 3 steps
- Sign in at chatgpt.com and open your account menu, then Settings.
- Select Billing.
- Under Cancel plan, select Cancel and confirm.
OpenAI's help pages give slightly different menu paths (for example Settings, Account, Manage, Cancel). Use whichever matches your screen.
What happens after you cancel
- Your paid features stay available until the end of the current billing period.
- Cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date to avoid being charged for the next period.
- Cancelling does not refund past charges. For an unused individual subscription, a discretionary refund may be possible if you contact OpenAI within seven days of the charge.
- Uninstalling the app does not cancel anything, and you do not need to delete your account just to stop the charges.
Pay through an app store or a phone company?
If you subscribed in the iPhone app, cancel with Apple, and ask Apple for any refund. If you subscribed in the Android app, cancel in Google Play. Deleting your ChatGPT account cancels a subscription billed directly by ChatGPT, but not one billed through Apple, so cancel the store subscription first.
If ChatGPT Plus is billed by Google Play: open the Play Store app, tap your profile picture, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions, choose ChatGPT Plus and tap Cancel subscription. Google: cancel, pause or change a subscription on Google Play.
If it is billed by Apple: open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, choose ChatGPT Plus and tap Cancel Subscription. Apple: cancel a subscription from Apple.
A tip before you cancel
Subscribed on more than one of web, iPhone and Android? Each one is billed separately. OpenAI has a help page about avoiding being charged twice, so check that you only have the one you want.
Forget the next renewal before it charges you
SubFinito adds up everything you pay for, shows what it costs over ten years, and reminds you before a renewal or a free trial ends. When you cancel ChatGPT Plus, press Finito and it goes in the Graveyard with the money you saved.
Free to use. No account. Android app coming to Google Play.
