Direct links and exact steps for the services people ask about most. No dark patterns, no phone-call runaround where we can avoid it. Steps current as of October 2026 — companies do move these pages around, so tell us if one breaks.
How to cancel Netflix
- Go to netflix.com/cancelplan and sign in.
- Click Cancel Membership, then Finish Cancellation.
- You keep access until the end of your current billing period — nothing is cut off immediately.
Note: if you signed up through Apple or Google, cancel in your phone's subscription settings instead.
How to cancel Spotify Premium
- On a desktop browser (not the app), go to spotify.com/account/subscription and log in.
- Under Your plan, click Change plan, then scroll to Cancel Premium.
- Click Continue to cancel and confirm. Your account drops to Free at the next billing date.
Note: if you pay through iTunes/Google Play, cancel there — Spotify's site won't show the option.
How to cancel Hulu
- Go to hulu.com/account and log in.
- Under Your Subscription, click Cancel.
- Click Continue to Cancel to confirm.
Note: Hulu often offers a pause instead — if you just need a break, pausing for up to 12 weeks keeps your profiles.
How to cancel Disney+
- Go to disneyplus.com/account and log in.
- Select your subscription, then click Cancel Subscription.
- Choose a reason and click Complete Cancellation.
Note: billed through Apple, Google, Amazon, or Roku? Cancel in that platform's subscription settings instead.
How to cancel Amazon Prime
- Go to amazon.com/gp/primecentral and sign in.
- Under Manage Membership, click End Membership.
- Choose End Now (partial refund if unused) or End on [date] to keep benefits until then.
Note: Amazon will show several "are you sure" screens with retention offers. Keep clicking through.
How to cancel Apple Music
- On iPhone/iPad: open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions.
- Tap Apple Music, then Cancel Subscription and confirm.
- On Mac: App Store → your name → Account Settings → Subscriptions → Manage → Cancel.
Note: anything billed through Apple (including many third-party apps) is cancelled here, not in the app itself.
How to cancel YouTube Premium
- Go to youtube.com/paid_memberships and sign in.
- Click Manage membership, then Deactivate.
- Click Continue to cancel and pick a reason.
Note: you can also pause for up to 6 months instead of cancelling outright.
How to cancel Max (HBO)
- Go to max.com, open your profile, then Settings.
- Under Subscription, click Cancel Subscription and confirm.
- Access continues until the end of the billing period.
Note: subscribed through an app store or TV provider? Cancel with whoever bills you.
How to cancel Paramount+
- Go to paramountplus.com/account and sign in.
- Click your account initials, then Account.
- Click Cancel subscription and confirm.
How to cancel Peacock

How to cancel Audible
- On a desktop browser, go to audible.com/account/cancel and sign in.

- Use any remaining credits first: unused credits disappear when you cancel.
Note: you keep every audiobook you've ever bought, and Plus Catalog access until the period ends.
How to cancel Planet Fitness
- In person at your home club with a photo ID is the most reliable way — ask for written confirmation.
- Alternatively, send certified mail to your home club requesting cancellation (keep the receipt).
- Some locations support online cancellation through the member portal — check yours, but don't count on it.
Honest note: gym cancellations are deliberately hard. Watch for a final annual fee if your contract includes one, and confirm the billing actually stops the following month.
How to cancel Xbox Game Pass
- Go to account.microsoft.com/services and sign in.
- Find your Game Pass subscription and click Manage, then Cancel subscription.
- Confirm, and optionally turn off recurring billing instead if you might return.
Note: you keep access until the end of the paid period; saves stay tied to your account.
How to cancel PlayStation Plus
- On console: Settings → Users and Accounts → Account → Payment and Subscriptions → Subscriptions.
- Select PlayStation Plus, then Turn Off Auto-Renew.
- Or do it on the web at playstation.com subscription management.
Note: turning off auto-renew keeps your current period active — nothing is lost immediately.
How to cancel iCloud+
- On iPhone: Settings → your name → iCloud → Manage Account Storage (or Storage).
- Tap Change Storage Plan → Downgrade Options and sign in if asked.
- Choose the free 5GB plan and tap Done.
Note: make sure your stored data fits under 5GB first, or you'll get sync errors after downgrading.
How to cancel Google One
- Go to one.google.com/settings and sign in.
- Click Cancel membership and confirm.
- Your storage drops to the free 15GB at the end of the billing period.
Note: if you're over 15GB when it lapses, Gmail and Drive stop syncing until you're back under.
