How to cancel Spotify

Spotify’s account help: open Manage plan at spotify.com/account (or Account → Manage your plan). If Spotify bills you directly, choose Cancel subscription and confirm on the screens that follow. Save the confirmation. If Payment shows Apple, Google Play, or a mobile carrier, Spotify cannot stop that charge—cancel in that store or with the carrier. Deleting the app does not cancel. After cancel you can keep using free Spotify; playlists and saved music stay on the free plan. A PDF cancellation form exists as a fallback when the web cancel path is unavailable. For Family or Duo, the plan manager cancels for the whole plan.

Difficulty: Online — website or store that bills you. Policies change. This is the path that usually works, not a substitute for your contract or the merchant’s current account screens.

What does not work

  • The Spotify mobile or desktop app (no complete cancel there for site-billed plans)
  • Deleting the app
  • Cancelling on spotify.com when Apple, Google, or a carrier is the merchant on your statement
  • A Family or Duo member who is not the plan manager cancelling for everyone

Fees and traps

  • Access usually continues until the end of the period already paid. Check the confirmation screen for the last billing date—do not invent a fee or refund promise.
  • Playlists and library stay available on free Spotify after paid access ends.
  • Prepaid or gift-card balance can keep Premium running until that balance is used up.
  • Pause or plan changes (where offered) are not the same as cancel.

FAQ

Can I cancel Spotify in the app?

No complete cancel for site-billed plans in the app. Use spotify.com/account Manage plan, or the store/carrier that appears under Payment.

Will I lose my playlists?

No. You keep playlists and saved music on the free plan after Premium ends.

Who cancels a Family plan?

The plan manager. Individual members cannot cancel the whole Family or Duo plan.

After you cancel this one

Spotify is one charge. The quiet ones are still on the card.

Clearcut cannot cancel every merchant for you. We can put this cancel on a tracker, and after you connect a bank, surface the other recurring charges so you are not doing this ten more times. 7-day trial. Cancel during the trial is included.
