Before you cancel
Check who bills you
If you subscribed in an iPhone or Android app, or pay through PayPal, cancel where you are billed: Apple, Google Play or PayPal.
Cancel before the renewal date
Canceling before the next renewal date avoids the next charge. On a free trial, cancel before it converts to a paid plan: How to avoid being charged after a free trial.
No cancel button?
If a service only cancels through its support team, send a written request with the cancellation email template.
Still charged after you cancel?
How to stop a recurring payment covers how to stop the charge with Apple, Google Play or PayPal, and what to ask your bank or card company.
