How to cancel Spotify Premium

The single most useful fact about cancelling Spotify: you can’t do it inside the mobile app. The cancel button lives on the website, which is why so many people give up halfway and stay subscribed by accident.

Cancelling Premium

1. Sign in at spotify.com/account in a browser.
2. Open your subscription or plan section.
3. Choose to cancel Premium and confirm.

Premium runs until the end of the current billing period. After that you drop to the free tier rather than losing the account: playlists, saved music and followers all survive, you just get ads and lose offline listening.

If Spotify doesn’t bill you directly

• Student or partner bundles. If Premium came bundled with another service or through a carrier deal, cancel through whoever actually charges you.
• Family plan members. Only the plan manager can cancel the plan; members leave the plan instead.
• App-store billing. Rare for Spotify these days, but if the charge on your statement comes from Apple or Google, cancel in that store’s subscription settings; the iPhone steps are here.

Worth knowing

Spotify’s flow will offer you a pause or a discount on the way out; take it if it genuinely suits you, but remember a paused plan quietly resumes. If you’re pruning several services at once, work from your real yearly total rather than cancelling one at a time as they annoy you.
