How to Cancel Spotify Premium — Step-by-Step Guide (2026)

⏰ 1-2 minutes easy Last Updated: 2026-05-21 $11.99/mo Reviewed by Bill Vampire Editorial Team

Spotify makes cancellation easy — you keep all your playlists and listening history on the free tier. The only things you lose are ad-free playback, offline downloads, and unlimited skips.

Official account or cancellation path Spotify

Go to your Spotify Account page

Open spotify.com/account in your browser and log in. You cannot cancel through the Spotify mobile app — it must be done via the web.

Bookmark this page. Spotify deliberately makes it hard to find from within the app.

Scroll to "Your plan" and click "Change plan"

On your account overview page, find the "Your plan" section. Click "Change plan" to see all available options including cancellation.

Select "Cancel Premium"

Scroll to the bottom of the plan options. Click "Cancel Premium". Spotify may offer you a discounted rate or a free month to stay.

If you're offered 3 months at $0.99, that's a legitimate offer worth considering if you use Spotify daily.

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

Confirm cancellation

Click "Yes, cancel" on the confirmation page. Your Premium features continue until the end of your current billing cycle, then you switch to the free tier automatically.

Download any offline playlists to a local device before your Premium expires — offline downloads disappear immediately when you switch to free.

⚠️ Watch out

✗ Refund policy

Spotify does not offer refunds or prorated credits. Your Premium access continues through the end of your current billing period after cancellation.
