How to Cancel Grammarly Subscription on Desktop

This is the most common way to cancel. Honestly, it should be straightforward, but be prepared to hunt for the button. I had to refresh the page once because the final confirmation screen didn't load properly. Maybe it's a bug, maybe not.

1 Log In to Your Account

Go to the official Grammarly website and log in to your account. This is the starting point for everything.

2 Navigate to 'Account'

Once you're in, find the 'Account' tab in the menu on the left side of the screen and click it.

3 Go to the 'Subscription' Section

Inside your account settings, click on the 'Subscription' option. This page has all the dirt on your plan and billing.

4 Find the Cancel Link

You have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. They don't make it obvious. Look for the 'Cancel Subscription' link in red text.

5 Confirm Your Cancellation

Grammarly will probably ask you why you're leaving and might even offer a discount to stay. You have to click through these prompts to finalize the cancellation. Don't close the tab until you see a confirmation message saying it's done.

How to Cancel Grammarly Subscription on iOS

If you signed up for Grammarly through the App Store, you have to cancel it there. Grammarly's own website or app can't do it for you, which is a common point of confusion. It's an Apple rule.

1 Open the Settings App

Find and tap the gray 'Settings' gear icon on your iPhone or iPad's home screen.

2 Tap Your Apple ID

Your name and profile picture are at the very top of the Settings menu. Tap on this banner.

3 Go to 'Subscriptions'

In the list of options, find and select 'Subscriptions'. This will show you everything you're subscribed to via your Apple account.

4 Select the Grammarly Subscription

Scroll through the list of your active and expired subscriptions to find Grammarly. Tap on it.

5 Tap 'Cancel Subscription'

At the bottom of the screen, you'll see a 'Cancel Subscription' button. Tap it and confirm your choice. That's it. Apple handles the rest.

How to Cancel Grammarly Subscription on Android

Just like with Apple, if you subscribed through the Google Play Store, that's where you have to end it. The cancellation is managed by Google, not Grammarly directly.

1 Launch the Google Play Store

Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device. It's the app you use to download new apps.

2 Tap Your Profile Icon

Tap on your profile picture or initial in the top-right corner of the screen to open the menu.

3 Choose 'Payments & subscriptions'

From the menu that appears, select 'Payments & subscriptions'.

4 Tap 'Subscriptions'

On the next screen, tap 'Subscriptions' to see all the services you're paying for through Google Play.

5 Find Grammarly and Cancel

Find Grammarly in the list and tap on it. Then, tap the 'Cancel subscription' button at the bottom and follow any final prompts. Weirdly, a friend said this didn't work on their tablet but was fine on their phone.

Cancel Grammarly Subscription with email

Grammarly really prefers you to use their self-service options. They don't have a direct email for cancellations. If you're having trouble, you can submit a support request through their website. Go to their support page, navigate to the billing section, and fill out the form. You can typically expect a response within 1-2 business days, but they'll likely just send you instructions on how to cancel it yourself.

Before you cancel, here's the deal. Grammarly won't delete your documents or your account; it just downgrades you to the free version, so your work is safe. But what about a refund? Forget about it. In most cases, they don't offer refunds, especially if you just forgot to cancel before the renewal date. It's annoying, but that's their policy. Also, there's no option to 'pause' your subscription, you can only cancel it outright.
