How to Cancel Your Spotify Membership

Review your membership agreement

Before canceling, check how you signed up for Spotify. If you subscribed through Spotify’s own website, you cancel there. If you subscribed via iTunes, Google Play, or another platform, you must cancel through that service’s subscription management.

Log in to your Spotify account and review your current plan and billing cycle so you can time your cancellation effectively.

Contact options for cancellation

• Cancel on the Spotify website by logging in, going to your account page, clicking “Subscription,” and selecting “Cancel Premium.” Follow the prompts until confirmation.
• If subscribed via iTunes, cancel through your Apple ID subscription settings on your device or iTunes app.
• If subscribed via Google Play, cancel through the Google Play Store app or website under “Subscriptions.”
• If you subscribed through another third party (e.g., Roku, Amazon), manage cancellation through their respective account or billing settings.

If you prefer a faster way to cancel without dealing with customer support, you can use Xpendy’s cancellation service. We’ll handle the cancellation process for you—quickly, securely, and without stress.

Additional Tips and Information

Cancellation fees

Spotify does not charge cancellation fees. Your subscription remains active until the end of the current billing cycle, and no further charges will be made after cancellation.

Timing your cancellation

Cancel anytime before your next billing date to avoid being charged for the following month. If you’re in a free trial, make sure to cancel before it expires to prevent automatic conversion to a paid plan.

Rejoining Spotify in the Future

You can reactivate your Spotify Premium subscription anytime by logging back into your account and selecting a premium plan. Your playlists, saved music, and account data remain intact even after cancellation.
