Cancel Spotify in 3 steps
- Open your Spotify account page in a browser and sign in.
- Under Manage your plan, choose Cancel subscription.
- Check for Spotify's confirmation, and that your plan now shows an end date.
Spotify's own help page describes cancelling on the account page, so do it there rather than looking for a button in the app.
What happens after you cancel
- Premium stays active until your next billing date. After that your account switches to the free version.
- If you cancel during a free trial that costs nothing, your account switches to free immediately, and a trial like that cannot be reactivated.
Pay through an app store or a phone company?
No Cancel subscription option? Your plan is probably linked to a partner, such as a mobile or internet provider. Under Manage your plan, then Payment, Spotify shows a link to that partner. Cancel with them.
If Spotify is billed by Google Play: open the Play Store app, tap your profile picture, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions, choose Spotify 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 Spotify and tap Cancel Subscription. Apple: cancel a subscription from Apple.
A tip before you cancel
Cancelling a free trial early loses the rest of it. If you only want to avoid the first charge, set a reminder for the day before the trial ends instead.
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 Spotify, press Finito and it goes in the Graveyard with the money you saved.
Free to use. No account. Android app coming to Google Play.
