Spotify makes canceling Premium straightforward, whether you’re on an individual, Duo, Family, or free trial plan. When you cancel, your account reverts to the free version after your billing cycle ends—you’ll lose perks like ad-free listening and offline downloads, but your playlists and saved songs remain intact. To cancel, go to your account page and click “Cancel Plan” under the Your Plan section; if you’re billed through a partner like Apple or a mobile provider, you’ll need to cancel through them instead. Plan managers can cancel for all members, while Duo or Family members must contact the manager to be removed. Free trial cancellations take effect immediately, and once ended, the trial can’t be restarted. Regardless of how you subscribed, there are no cancellation fees, and your account remains usable with Spotify Free.
What Happens When You Cancel Spotify Premium?
Canceling Spotify Premium won’t delete your account or erase your music. Instead, your account reverts to the free version after your current billing cycle ends.
Here’s what happens:
- You’ll lose ad-free listening and offline downloads.
- Your playlists and saved songs stay intact.
- You can still log in and use Spotify Free.
- If you cancel during a free trial, your account switches to the free tier immediately.
Spotify won’t charge you again unless you reactivate Premium manually. There are no cancellation fees.
How to Cancel Spotify Premium Step-by-Step
You can cancel your Spotify Premium plan in just a few clicks using your account page.
Steps to Cancel Spotify Premium:
- Go to the Spotify account page.
- Under the Your plan section, click Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm your choice by continuing through the next screens.
- Look for a confirmation message to ensure your cancellation was successful.
Note: If you’re being billed through a partner (like a mobile carrier or iTunes), you’ll need to cancel through their service — the option won’t appear on your Spotify account page.
How to Cancel Spotify Duo or Family Plan
The cancellation process differs slightly depending on whether you’re the plan manager or a member.
If You’re the Plan Manager:
- Follow the same steps listed above via your account page.
- After cancellation, all plan members will lose Premium access at the next billing cycle.
- It’s a good idea to notify your members beforehand.
If You’re a Plan Member:
- Canceling your own Premium won’t work; it only removes you from the shared plan.
- To fully cancel or update payment info, contact the plan manager directly.
- You’ll instantly switch to Spotify Free once removed.
Can You Cancel Premium If You Subscribed Through a Partner?
Yes, but not from Spotify directly. If you subscribed through a third-party service like your mobile provider, internet carrier, or Apple, you’ll need to cancel via their system.
How to Cancel Through a Partner:
- Go to your Spotify Account page.
- Under Manage Your Plan, look for a mention of the billing partner.
- Follow the partner’s link to access their cancellation process.
⚠️ You won’t see a “Cancel Plan” option on Spotify if your billing is handled externally.
How to Cancel a Free Trial on Spotify
Canceling a Spotify free trial works almost the same way, with one key difference: your account switches to Free immediately.
What You Should Know:
- Go to your account page and cancel like any regular plan.
- If you’re on a zero-priced trial, cancellation ends Premium access instantly.
- You can’t restart the same trial again — once canceled, it’s final.
- You keep playlists, saved music, and login access.
