Creativebug, founded in 2012, is an online hub for arts and crafts classes. Maybe you signed up when that viral TikTok trend made you want to learn crochet, but now the yarn is just gathering dust. It happens. This guide helps you cancel your subscription, which can range from $7.95 to $9.95 per month, and avoid any surprise charges. We'll cover how to cancel on your desktop, iOS, and Android devices. By canceling, you could save up to $71.40 a year. Let's get this done so you can stop worrying about another subscription fee hitting your account.
How to Cancel Creativebug Subscription on Desktop
Honestly, this is the easiest way to do it. I tried on my phone's browser and the page kept glitching. Just use a computer if you can.
1 Log Into Your Account
Go to the Creativebug website and sign in. Simple enough.
2 Find Your Account Settings
Click on your name or profile icon in the top-right corner. A dropdown menu will appear. Select My Account.
3 Navigate to Your Subscription
In the 'My Account' section, look for a link or button that says Manage Subscription. It's not always obvious, so you might have to look around a bit.
4 Click the Cancel Button
You should see an option to Cancel Subscription. Click it. They'll probably show you an offer to stay. Just ignore it and proceed.
5 Confirm the Cancellation
You'll likely have to confirm your choice on another screen. Make sure you click the final confirmation button. I had to click it twice before it registered. Check for a confirmation email afterward to be sure.
How to Cancel Creativebug Subscription on iOS
If you signed up through the App Store, you have to cancel it there. You can't cancel inside the Creativebug app itself, which is a classic subscription trap.
1 Open Your iPhone Settings
Go to the main Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2 Tap on Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are right at the top. Tap on it.
3 Go to Subscriptions
Find and tap on the Subscriptions menu item.
4 Find and Cancel Creativebug
Scroll through the list to find your Creativebug subscription. Tap on it, then hit Cancel Subscription. Confirm your choice and you're done.
How to Cancel Creativebug Subscription on Android
Just like with iPhones, if you subscribed through the Google Play Store, that's where you have to end it. The app won't help you.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Find and launch the Play Store app on your Android device.
2 Access Your Profile Menu
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Go to Payments & Subscriptions
From the menu, select Payments & subscriptions.
4 Manage Your Subscriptions
Tap on Subscriptions to see all your active ones.
5 Cancel the Creativebug Subscription
Find Creativebug in the list, tap on it, and then select Cancel subscription. Follow the on-screen prompts to finalize it.
Cancel Creativebug Subscription with email
You can email Creativebug support at support@creativebug.com. Don't expect an instant reply. It usually takes them 1-2 business days to get back to you. Be direct in your email: include your full name and the email address associated with your account, and state clearly that you want to cancel. A user on Reddit mentioned they had to send a follow-up email because the first one got lost, so keep an eye on your inbox.
Before you hit cancel, here's the deal. Creativebug won't delete your account, but you will lose access to all the video classes once your current billing period ends. So, if you have any patterns or class materials you downloaded, make sure they're saved to your computer. As for refunds? Forget about it. They don't offer prorated refunds if you cancel mid-month. You paid for the month, you get the month. They also don't have a 'pause' option, so canceling is your only way to stop payments.
Creativebug Plans and Pricing 2025
| Plan | Price (USD) | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Unlimited | $7.95/month | Get unlimited access to thousands of online art and craft classes. Includes downloadable patterns and class materials. |
| Unlimited Annual | $71.40/year | Same as the monthly plan but you save about 25% by paying for a full year upfront. A good deal if you're committed, a pain if you forget to cancel. |
| Unlimited Plus | $9.95/month | Includes everything in the Unlimited plan, plus one class to keep forever each month. This one is tricky because you might forget which classes you "own" after canceling. |
