Founded way back in 1999, BookRags offers study guides and literary resources for students. Maybe you signed up to get through a tough English class or to finally understand the plot of the Dune books after the movies left you with more questions than answers. It happens. With subscriptions ranging from $19.95 to $99.95, it's an easy charge to forget about until it hits your bank account. This guide covers canceling on your desktop, which is the main way to do it. By taking a few minutes to cancel, you can save up to $99.95 a year. Let's get it done.
How to Cancel BookRags Subscription on Desktop
The only real way to cancel BookRags is through their website on a desktop or mobile browser. Don't waste your time searching for an app. The process isn't too hard, but the website feels a bit old, so the buttons aren't always where you'd expect them to be.
1 Log In to Your Account
First, head over to the BookRags website and log in with your username and password. If you can't remember it, you'll have to go through the 'Forgot Password' process first.
2 Navigate to 'My Account'
Once you're in, look for the 'My Account' link. It's usually tucked away in the top-right corner of the homepage.
3 Find the Subscription Area
Inside the account section, you need to find the 'My Subscription' tab or link. This is where they keep all the billing details.
4 Click to Cancel
Here's the important part. Look for a button that says 'Cancel Subscription'. Honestly, it might not be bright and obvious. Click it. You might have to confirm your choice on the next screen. Don't just close the tab, make sure you click the final confirmation.
5 Look for Confirmation
You should get an email confirming the cancellation. If you don't, go back to the 'My Subscription' page and check the status. It should say it's been canceled and show when your access will end. Weirdly, a user on Reddit mentioned the page timed out and they had to do it twice for it to stick.
Cancel BookRags Subscription with Email
If you're stuck or the website isn't working, you can email their support team at [email protected]. Don't expect a quick fix, though. It can take a couple of business days to get a response, so this isn't great for a last-minute cancellation.
Heads up, BookRags is pretty strict about refunds. Their policy states that all charges are non-refundable. If your subscription just renewed yesterday, you probably won't get that money back. Super annoying, but that's how it is. Canceling doesn't delete your account, it just revokes your access to paid materials when your current billing period ends. There's no option to pause, either. It's all or nothing.
BookRags Plans and Pricing 2025

| Annual Subscription | $99.95/year | Same full access as the monthly plan but at a discounted yearly rate. This works out to about $8.33 per month, so it's cheaper if you know you'll need it for the whole school year. |
