How to cancel any subscription

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

  1. Go to netflix.com/cancelplan and sign in.
  2. Click Cancel Membership, then Finish Cancellation.
  3. 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

  1. On a desktop browser (not the app), go to spotify.com/account/subscription and log in.
  2. Under Your plan, click Change plan, then scroll to Cancel Premium.
  3. 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

  1. Go to hulu.com/account and log in.
  2. Under Your Subscription, click Cancel.
  3. 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+

  1. Go to disneyplus.com/account and log in.
  2. Select your subscription, then click Cancel Subscription.
  3. 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

  1. Go to amazon.com/gp/primecentral and sign in.
  2. Under Manage Membership, click End Membership.
  3. 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

  1. On iPhone/iPad: open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions.
  2. Tap Apple Music, then Cancel Subscription and confirm.
  3. 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

  1. Go to youtube.com/paid_memberships and sign in.
  2. Click Manage membership, then Deactivate.
  3. 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)

  1. Go to max.com, open your profile, then Settings.
  2. Under Subscription, click Cancel Subscription and confirm.
  3. Access continues until the end of the billing period.

  3. 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

  1. In person at your home club with a photo ID is the most reliable way — ask for written confirmation.
  2. Alternatively, send certified mail to your home club requesting cancellation (keep the receipt).
  3. 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

  1. Go to account.microsoft.com/services and sign in.
  2. Find your Game Pass subscription and click Manage, then Cancel subscription.
  3. 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

  1. On console: Settings → Users and Accounts → Account → Payment and Subscriptions → Subscriptions.
  2. Select PlayStation Plus, then Turn Off Auto-Renew.
  3. 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+

  1. On iPhone: Settings → your name → iCloud → Manage Account Storage (or Storage).
  2. Tap Change Storage Plan → Downgrade Options and sign in if asked.
  3. Choose the free 5GB plan and tap Done.

  2. Click Cancel membership and confirm.
  3. Your storage drops to the free 15GB at the end of the billing period.
