Guides
How to cancel subscriptions comes down to working out who bills you, and it is often not the company whose app you opened. The cancel guides take one service at a time and cover both app stores. The rest is what people spend, and how to track subscriptions without handing anyone your bank login. We write them ourselves, and the byline is us rather than a name we made up.

How to cancel subscriptions
How to cancel Netflix
Cancelling early costs you nothing, because you keep watching to the end of the period you paid for.
How to cancel Spotify
Web, app store or partner company. If Spotify isn't billing you, Spotify can't cancel it.
Cancel subscriptions on iPhone
The Settings walkthrough, and what Apple's list misses.
Cancel subscriptions on Google Play
Uninstalling the app cancels nothing. The list is in Google Play, or on the web.
How to cancel Amazon Prime
When Amazon refunds the current period in full, and when it doesn't.
How to cancel Disney+
Disney, Apple, Google, Amazon or Roku, depending on where you signed up.
How to cancel a gym membership
Find the two lines in your contract that decide it: the notice period and the channel the gym accepts.
How to cancel Adobe Creative Cloud
The 14-day refund window, and the renewal date that avoids the early-termination fee.
How to cancel YouTube Premium
Billed by Apple? Then Apple cancels it, not YouTube. Downloads stop when the membership ends.
How to cancel HBO Max
HBO Max, an app store, Roku or your TV provider. Whoever bills you is who cancels it.
How to cancel Apple TV
The service once called Apple TV+. Amazon and Google Play billing cancel elsewhere, and Apple One changes where you look.
How to cancel Xbox Game Pass
Cancel on the Microsoft account that pays, and check the 30-day refund window before you do.
How to cancel PlayStation Plus
Access lasts to the next payment date, and an empty wallet won't stop the renewal.
Cancel subscriptions paid through PayPal
Unlinking PayPal stops the payments. It may not close your account with the service.
How to cancel Microsoft 365
Check OneDrive before you confirm. Over 5 GB, your files turn read-only when the plan ends.
How to cancel Google One
Over 15 GB once the plan ends, Drive uploads stop and Gmail can bounce your mail.
How to cancel ChatGPT
chatgpt.com, Apple or Google Play. Cancel a day before renewal, and know that deleting the app stops nothing.
How to cancel Canva Pro
The Canva app can't cancel an app store plan. A three month pause is the other way out.
How to cancel CapCut Pro
Apple, Google or your CapCut account, at least 24 hours before renewal. Refunds are rare.
How to cancel Super Duolingo
Your streak survives. Deleting the app or the account doesn't cancel anything.
How to cancel or downgrade iCloud+
Over the free 5 GB, backups stop and iCloud Mail can't send or receive. Make room first.
How to cancel Apple Music
Catalog songs, and playlists built from them, stop playing. Inside Apple One, you change the bundle.
How to cancel LinkedIn Premium
A cancelled free trial ends at once, and unused InMail credits don't come back.
How to cancel subscriptions on Amazon
One list for memberships and digital plans, a separate one for Subscribe & Save.
Money
Stats hub What the average person spends on subscriptions
There is no single average. Each figure sits next to what it counted and the survey behind it.
Living table Streaming price increases, tracked
Current US list prices, and the dated increase behind each one.
A subscription tracker you buy once
Which trackers you pay for once, and why an unlock stays with the store that sold it.
The 30-minute subscription audit
Every recurring line gets one decision: keep, downgrade or cancel.
Free trial reminders that work
Write down the charge date at signup and set the reminder two days early. Anything tighter runs into the stores' own deadlines.
Find subscriptions on your bank statement
Three months of statements, nothing linked. One line from Apple, Google, PayPal or Amazon often hides several subscriptions.
Cancel right after signup?
Some services run a cancelled trial to its end date. Others cut you off the moment you cancel.
We build every guide the same way. The heading is the question, and you have the answer by the second sentence. Every step traces to an official source listed at the foot, and the byline says when we last checked it.
