How to Cancel — Step by Step

  1. 1Go to your Spotify account page and sign in.
  2. 2Go to 'Manage your plan'.
  3. 3Select 'Cancel subscription' and follow the prompts until you see the confirmation message.
  4. 4Premium access continues until the next billing date, then reverts to the free tier.

Billed Through a Third Party?

  • If there's no option to change or cancel your plan, it is billed through a partner company (e.g. your mobile or internet provider) — find their contact link on your account page under Payment and cancel with them.
  • Google Play Billing: Google manages these payments, so contact Google about anything payment-related.

Reactivating Your Account

  • You keep your playlists and saved music when your account is free, and you can still log in and play with ads.

Additional Notes

  • Premium Family and Duo: only the plan manager can cancel the plan, and all members lose Premium from the next payment date — let them know first. Managed accounts on a Family plan move to the free, ad-supported plan.
  • If a plan member follows the cancel steps, it removes their account from the plan but doesn't cancel the plan.
  • Premium Student: the discount lasts up to 4 years and you must renew and reverify every 12 months.
  • Free trial: if you cancel during a zero-priced free trial, your account switches to free immediately, and zero-priced trials can't be reactivated.
  • Gift cards bought from a store can't be refunded by Spotify — return them to the store.
  • If you canceled but still see a charge, you likely canceled just after a payment was processed; you won't be charged again and keep Premium until the switch date.
