Thinking about canceling your Calm subscription? You're not alone. Calm, the meditation and sleep app founded in 2012, is great until the renewal date pops up on your calendar. Maybe you've mastered mindfulness, or maybe you just can't justify the cost anymore, especially with everyone still talking about that Harry Styles sleep story from a while back. Whatever the reason, we'll get it sorted. Subscriptions range from $14.99 to $69.99, and this guide covers canceling on iOS, Android, and desktop. Taking a few minutes to cancel now could save you up to $69.99 a year. Let's get that money back in your pocket.
How to Cancel Calm Subscription on iOS
Canceling on an iPhone or iPad is done through your Apple ID, not the Calm app itself. It feels a bit hidden, honestly. Why do they make you dig through so many menus? Anyway, follow these steps exactly.
1 Open Your iPhone Settings
Find and tap the gray 'Settings' gear icon on your home screen.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are right at the top. Tap on it.
3 Go to Subscriptions
Tap on 'Subscriptions'. You'll see a list of all your active and expired app subscriptions.
4 Find and Cancel Calm
Locate 'Calm' in the list and tap it. Then, hit the 'Cancel Subscription' button. You might have to confirm it one more time. Done.
How to Cancel Calm Subscription on Android
For Android users, you'll be heading to the Google Play Store. It's a little more straightforward than Apple's method, but still requires a few taps.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Find the Play Store app on your phone and open it.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Select Payments & Subscriptions
In the menu that pops up, tap on 'Payments & subscriptions'.
4 Go to Subscriptions
Next, tap on 'Subscriptions' to see everything you're paying for through Google Play.
5 Find and Cancel Calm
Find 'Calm' in the list, tap on it, and then select 'Cancel subscription'. Follow any final prompts to confirm.
How to Cancel Calm Subscription on Desktop
If you signed up directly on the Calm website, this is the way to go. I've seen a few Reddit comments where people said the 'Manage Subscription' button didn't show up at first. If that happens, try logging out and logging back in. Weird, but it seems to work.
1 Go to the Calm Website
Open your browser and navigate to www.calm.com.
2 Log In to Your Account
Click 'Log In' at the top-right and enter your credentials.
3 Go to Your Profile
Once logged in, click 'Profile' on the top-left of the homepage.
4 Manage Your Subscription
In the dropdown menu, click on 'Manage Subscription'. This will take you to your billing details.
5 Cancel Your Subscription
You should see an option to turn off auto-renewal or cancel. Click 'Cancel Subscription' and make sure you get a confirmation message on the screen. Don't close the tab until you see it.
Cancel Calm Subscription with email
If you're stuck or the online methods aren't working, you can email Calm's support team. Send a message to support@calm.com. Be sure to include the email address associated with your Calm account. Don't expect an instant reply, it usually takes them 1-2 business days to get back to you. Be polite but firm about your request to cancel.
Before you hit cancel, here's the deal. Calm won't delete your account or your meditation history, you just lose access to the premium content when your current plan ends. Don't expect a refund, especially if you forgot to cancel before the renewal date. It's a tough pill to swallow, but both Calm and the app stores are pretty strict about their no-refund policies. Also, pausing your subscription isn't really an option they advertise, so cancellation is your best bet if you need a break.
