How to cancel Spotify Premium
Cancel Spotify Premium from the account page in a web browser; your account drops to the free plan at the end of the billing period.
Steps to cancel Spotify Premium
In a web browser
- Open spotify.com/account in a browser and log in.
- Select Manage plan.
- Select Cancel Premium and follow the prompts to confirm.
If Apple, Google Play, or a carrier bills you for Spotify
- Cancel with the company that bills you; Spotify can't cancel those plans from your Spotify account.
Before you cancel
- Cancel from a web browser rather than inside the mobile app.
- Premium stays active until the end of the billing period, then the account reverts to Spotify Free.
- Family, Duo, and Student plans are managed from the same account page; the plan owner has to cancel.
What happens after you cancel
Your account continues on the free tier. Playlists and saved music stay on the account.

Common questions
Why can't I find a cancel button in the Spotify app?
Plan changes are handled on the website. Open your account page in a browser instead.
