How to Cancel Strava Subscription

Strava, launched in 2009, is the go-to social network for runners and cyclists. It's great for tracking workouts and seeing what your friends are up to, but maybe the pressure to have the best stats or the coolest 'Strava art' is getting to be too much. Or maybe you just don't want to pay for it anymore. Subscriptions run from $11.99 to $79.99, and this guide covers canceling on iOS, Android, and desktop. By canceling, you can save up to $80 a year. Let's get it done.

How to Cancel Strava Subscription on Strava Website

Canceling on the website is probably the most direct way, but you have to use a computer. For some reason, they make it tricky to do this on your phone's web browser. Classic.

1 Log In on a Computer

First, log in to your Strava account on a desktop or laptop computer. The mobile app won't work for this, which is a bit of a pain.

2 Go to Your Settings

Find your profile picture in the top-right corner. Hover over it and a dropdown menu will appear. Click on Settings.

3 Find 'My Account'

On the left-hand side menu, look for My Account. Click it, and then you should see your subscription details on the main page.

4 Downgrade Your Account

You should see an option that says 'Downgrade to the free plan' or something similar. Click that. Strava will probably ask you why you're leaving. Just get through the prompts until you see a final confirmation.

5 Get Confirmation

Make sure you see a message confirming your subscription is canceled and will not renew. I'd recommend taking a screenshot, just in case. You should also get an email.

How to Cancel Strava Subscription on iOS (iPhone/iPad)

If you signed up for Strava on your iPhone, you have to cancel it through Apple, not the Strava app itself. It's a common point of confusion, so don't feel bad if you've been looking in the wrong place.

1 Open Your iPhone Settings

Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. It's the grey gear icon.

2 Tap Your Apple ID

Tap on your name and Apple ID at the very top of the screen.

3 Go to Subscriptions

Find and tap on Subscriptions. You might have to scroll a bit to find it. It feels like they hide this on purpose sometimes.

4 Find the Strava Subscription

You'll see a list of all your active and expired subscriptions. Find Strava in the list and tap on it.

5 Cancel the Subscription

Tap the big red Cancel Subscription button at the bottom. You'll need to confirm your choice. That's it.

How to Cancel Strava Subscription on Android

For Android users, your subscription is managed by Google. You can't cancel it from the Strava app, which honestly, should be way more obvious.

1 Open the Play Store

Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.

2 Tap Your Profile Icon

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 Tap on 'Subscriptions'

Next, tap on Subscriptions. This will show you all the subscriptions linked to your Google account.

5 Find Strava and Cancel

Find Strava in the list and tap on it. Then, at the bottom, you'll see an option to Cancel subscription. Tap it and follow the final prompts.

Cancel Strava Subscription with email

Strava doesn't have a direct support email or phone number. Instead, you have to submit a request through their support page. Go to support.strava.com, log in, and find the 'Submit a Request' option. Response times can vary, so don't expect an instant reply. It can take a day or two.

Before you cancel, know this: your account will revert to the free version at the end of your billing cycle. All your activities and data are safe, you just lose the premium features. Strava does not offer refunds for partial months or if you forget to cancel. It's annoying, but that's their policy. Also, there's no option to 'pause' your subscription, you can only cancel it.
