Calm cancellation works the same way as most app subscriptions — through Apple, Google, or their website depending on where you signed up. Some free content remains available after canceling.

Official account or cancellation path Calm

Check where you subscribed

Most Calm subscriptions are through Apple App Store or Google Play. Check Settings → Subscriptions on your device first.

Cancel through the correct platform

Apple: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → Calm → Cancel. Google: Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Calm → Cancel. Web: calm.com/account/subscription → Cancel.

If you can't find Calm in your subscriptions, try the other platform or check calm.com/account.

Confirm cancellation

Tap "Confirm" to finalize. Your Premium access continues until your billing period ends.

Already charged? Keep the receipt and the cancellation confirmation. They are the useful part of a refund request.

⚠️ Watch out

✓ Refund may be possible

Calm offers refunds within 30 days of annual purchase through their support. Apple/Google subscriptions must be refunded through their respective platforms.
