Cancellation Steps
Sign in at audible.com
Log in to audible.com in any web browser. You cannot cancel from the Audible app on any device.
Open Account Details
Click (or tap) your username in the top-right corner, then select Account Details from the dropdown.
Choose to cancel
Click (or tap) the Cancel membership button.
Confirm through the prompts
Audible shows several retention screens; keep clicking (or tapping) Continue to cancel until you reach the final confirmation. Your benefits and credits remain until the end of the current billing cycle.
If you subscribed through Apple or Google
If you're billed via the Apple App Store or Google Play, the Audible site won't show a cancel option. Cancel in your phone's Subscriptions settings instead.
Refund policy
Membership fees are generally non-refundable, but you keep access until the end of your current paid billing cycle. Individual titles can often be returned separately under Audible's return policy.
- You retain membership benefits until the end of the billing period you already paid for.
- Any unused credits are forfeited and disappear once the membership officially ends.
- Eligible audiobooks can be returned within 365 days of purchase, but contact Audible Customer Care for membership-fee refund exceptions.
Common issues
No cancel button in the app
The mobile app intentionally omits cancellation; switch to a web browser at audible.com or, for Apple-billed accounts, use iPhone Settings > Subscriptions.
Pause offer instead of cancel
Audible frequently presents a pause-for-up-to-3-months option or bonus credits during the flow; decline these and choose Continue to cancel if you truly want to end the membership.
