Cancellation Steps
Open your account on the web
Spotify Premium cannot be cancelled in the mobile app. Open a browser, go to spotify.com, and log in to your Account page.
Go to Manage your plan
Under Your plan, find Manage your plan and click (or tap) Change plan.
Choose to cancel
Scroll down to Cancel Spotify and click (or tap) Cancel Premium.
Confirm
Follow the prompts to confirm. Your account stays on Premium until your next billing date, then switches to the free plan. On a Family or Duo plan, only the plan manager can cancel.
If you subscribed through a third party
If you signed up via the Apple App Store or Google Play, cancelling on Spotify won't stop billing — cancel through Apple (Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions) or Google Play subscriptions instead.
Refund policy
Spotify payments are generally non-refundable, and in the US you typically won't receive a refund for unused time after cancelling.
- You keep Premium until the end of the current billing period, so cancel before your next renewal date to avoid another charge.
- Refunds are usually only granted where required by law; the 14-day refund window mainly applies to certain regions and unused subscriptions.
- If you were billed through Apple, any refund request must go to Apple, not Spotify.
Common issues
No Cancel option on the web page
If you don't see Cancel Premium, your subscription is likely billed through a third party (Apple, Google, or a mobile carrier); cancel through that provider instead.
Still being charged after cancelling
Check whether you have a second subscription billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, since cancelling on spotify.com does not stop charges made through those stores.
