Audible, an Amazon company founded back in 1995, is the go-to for audiobooks and podcasts. Maybe you signed up just to listen to the ACOTAR series after seeing it all over TikTok, and now you're done. It happens. With plans ranging from $7.95 to $14.95 a month, the costs can add up, especially if you're not listening. Canceling your subscription can save you up to $180 a year. This guide will walk you through canceling on desktop, iOS, and Android, so you can stop the charges without losing the books you already paid for.
How to Cancel Audible Subscription on Desktop
This is the easiest and most direct way to cancel. Don't even bother with the app, it'll just send you here anyway. It takes a few clicks, and you'll have to navigate some 'please don't go' offers.
1 Go to the Audible Website and Sign In
Navigate to Audible.com and log into your Amazon account. This is the first and most important step.
2 Find Your Account Details
Hover over your name at the top of the page, where it says 'Hi, [Your Name]!' and click on Account Details from the dropdown menu.
3 Click the Cancel Link
In the 'Your membership' section, you'll see your plan details. Right at the bottom of that box, click the Cancel membership link. It's kind of small, so you might have to look for it.
4 Follow the Cancellation Steps
Audible will ask why you're leaving and might offer you a special deal to stay. Just keep clicking the button that says Continue to cancel until you get to the final confirmation. It can feel like they are trying to trap you.
5 Check for Confirmation
Once you've confirmed, you should see a message on the screen and receive a confirmation email. Your membership is now set to cancel at the end of your billing period.
How to Cancel Audible Subscription on iOS
You can't cancel through the Audible iOS app, which is super annoying. Instead, you have to dig into your iPhone's settings to manage the subscription if you signed up through the App Store.
1 Open Your iPhone Settings
Find and tap the gray Settings gear icon on your home screen.
2 Tap on Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are at the very top of the Settings menu. Tap on it.
3 Go to Subscriptions
On the next screen, tap on Subscriptions.
4 Find and Cancel Audible
You'll see a list of your active and expired subscriptions. Find Audible in the list and tap on it. Then, tap the Cancel Subscription button. Weirdly, this has failed for me once and I had to try again later.
How to Cancel Audible Subscription on Android
For Android, it depends on how you signed up. If you subscribed through the Google Play Store, you'll cancel there. If you signed up on the Audible website, you have to cancel on the website (see the desktop instructions).
1 Open the Google Play Store
Find and tap the Play Store app icon.
2 Access Your Subscriptions
Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner. Then, select Payments & subscriptions.
3 Select Subscriptions
On the next screen, tap on Subscriptions to see all your active plans.
4 Find and Cancel Audible
Locate Audible in the list, tap on it, and then select Cancel subscription. Follow the prompts to confirm.
Cancel Audible Subscription with phone
You can call Audible support 24/7. Phone Number: 1-888-283-5051. Be prepared for potential wait times and have your account information ready. Sometimes talking to a person is just faster if the website is giving you trouble.
Cancel Audible Subscription with live chat
Audible's live chat is available through their Contact Us page. You'll need to sign in. It's often quicker than calling, but response times can vary. I once had to wait about 10 minutes for an agent to connect.
The best part about canceling Audible? You keep all the audiobooks you bought with cash or credits. They are yours forever. However, you will lose any unused credits when you cancel, so make sure to spend them first. Seriously, don't let them go to waste. Audible generally doesn't offer refunds for partially used membership periods. But you can pause your membership for up to 3 months, which is a decent alternative if you just need a break.
