How to cancel Spotify

Before you cancel

• There's no fixed contract, so you can cancel anytime. Your access simply runs to the end of the period you've paid for.
• Expect to be offered a retention discount or loyalty deal to make you stay. If you're sure you want to cancel, stand your ground.
• There may be a notice period, so you can be billed for a short while after you ask to leave. Cancel as early as you can.
• If you subscribed through Apple, Google or another provider, you must cancel with them, not Spotify directly.
• Get a confirmation (on-screen or by email) and keep it as proof of the date you cancelled.

How to cancel Spotify, step by step

1. Log in to your Spotify account page at spotify.com/account.
2. Open 'Manage your plan' (spotify.com/account/subscription/manage).
3. Select 'Cancel subscription' and confirm.
4. Premium stays active until your next billing date, then your account switches to free.
5. Your playlists, saved music and library stay intact on the free tier.

Notice, fees & cooling-off

Notice period

Cancel any time; Premium continues to the next billing date, then switches to free. (Free-trial cancel switches to free immediately.)

Early-exit charge

None; no prorated refunds - you keep Premium until the paid period ends. Offline downloads stop working once Premium lapses (playlists/library are kept).
