Canceling your DeepDyve subscription is most reliable through their website on a desktop or laptop computer. You can use a mobile browser, but the desktop view is often easier to navigate. Honestly, I had to click around a bit to find the final confirmation button.
How to Cancel DeepDyve on Desktop or Laptop
1 Log In to Your DeepDyve Account
First, head over to the DeepDyve website and log in using your email and password. Make sure you're using the correct account, especially if you have multiple email addresses.
2 Navigate to Your Account Settings
Once you're logged in, find your name or profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen. Click on it, and from the dropdown menu, select My Account.
3 Find the Subscription Section
On the 'My Account' page, you'll see several tabs on the left side. Click on the Subscription tab. This is where all your billing information and plan details are stored.
4 Initiate the Cancellation
You should see details about your current plan and renewal date. Look for a link or button that says Cancel Subscription. It's sometimes placed in a less obvious spot, so you might have to look carefully.
5 Confirm Your Cancellation
DeepDyve will likely ask you for a reason for canceling and may present you with an offer to stay. If you're sure you want to cancel, proceed through the confirmation steps until you see a final message confirming your subscription has been canceled. You should also receive a confirmation email.
Cancel by Email
If you're struggling with the website or just prefer a direct approach, you can try canceling by email. It's not instant, but it gets the job done.
- Email Address:
[email protected] - Subject Line: Subscription Cancellation Request
- Body: Be sure to include your full name and the email address associated with your DeepDyve account. Clearly state that you wish to cancel your subscription. Expect a response within 2-3 business days.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
Before you finalize the cancellation, keep a few things in mind:
- Access Until End of Cycle: You will retain access to DeepDyve's features until the end of your current billing period. Your access isn't cut off immediately.
- No Prorated Refunds: DeepDyve does not offer refunds for partial months or unused time. If you cancel a day after your renewal, you've paid for the full month or year.
- Saved Articles: Any articles you've saved to your folders or lists will remain in your account, but you won't be able to access the full text after your subscription officially ends. It's a good idea to download any essential PDFs you're allowed before your access expires.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your DeepDyve Subscription?
It can be frustrating when a cancellation process doesn't work as expected. Here are a few things to try:
- Try a Different Browser or Incognito Mode: Sometimes, browser extensions or cache issues can interfere with the cancellation process. Try using an incognito window or a different browser altogether.
- Check for Third-Party Billing: While less common for DeepDyve, ensure your subscription wasn't purchased through a university or corporate account, as you would need to contact the administrator for that account.
- Log In on a Desktop: The mobile version of the site can sometimes be buggy. If you're on your phone, switch to a desktop or laptop to complete the cancellation.
- Contact Support Directly: If all else fails, email their support team at
[email protected]. Provide your account details and explain the issue you're facing. This can take a few days, so do it before your next billing date.
