Spotify permits users to cancel their Premium subscription at any time without cancellation fees. Canceling simply stops future recurring payments while allowing you to retain full Premium access until the end of your current prepaid billing cycle.
The exact cancellation steps depend on where you originally purchased your subscription. Follow the specific instructions below for your billing provider.
Method 1: Direct Web Subscription (spotify.com)
If you subscribed with a credit card, debit card, or PayPal directly on Spotify's website:
- Open any browser and navigate to spotify.com/account.
- Log into your Spotify account.
- Under the Your Plan section, click Change Plan.
- Scroll down to the Cancel Spotify heading.
- Click Cancel Premium and confirm your selection.
Method 2: Google Play Store (Android Billing)
If your subscription is billed via your Google Play account:
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile picture icon in the top right corner.
- Select Payments & Subscriptions > Subscriptions.
- Locate Spotify in the active list.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and follow the prompts.
Method 3: Apple App Store (iPhone Billing)
If you subscribed through Apple in-app purchase:
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your Apple ID name at the very top.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Tap Spotify.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
What Happens to Your Playlists After Cancellation?
Canceling Premium does not delete your account or saved playlists. Your account simply transitions to Spotify Free at the end of the billing cycle, preserving your entire music library and saved songs intact.
