Thinking about canceling your CDA subscription? You're not alone. CDA, which stands for Creative Digital Arts, launched in 2015 to offer a suite of tools for artists. But maybe the subscription cost is adding up, or you're just not using it enough. With plans ranging from $9.99 to $49.99, you could save up to $600 a year by canceling. This guide covers how to cancel on desktop, iOS, and Android. Lately, there's been a ton of chatter online about AI art, and it's interesting to see how many artists are sticking with platforms like CDA to create work that feels more personal and handcrafted. Whatever your reason, let's get this done.
How to Cancel CDA Subscription on Desktop
Canceling on a computer is probably the most straightforward way. You just need to log in through their website. Weirdly, some users have reported that the cancel button doesn't show up on the first try, so you might need to refresh the page.
1 Log In to Your Account
First, open your web browser and head over to the CDA website. You'll need to log into your account.
2 Navigate to Account Settings
Once you're in, look for your profile icon or name, usually in the top-right corner. Click on it and find the Account Settings or Billing section in the dropdown menu.
3 Find Your Subscription
Inside your account settings, there should be a tab or link for Manage Subscription. This is sometimes buried under a few menus, so you might have to look around a bit. It's a bit of a pain.
4 Confirm Cancellation
Here's the final step. Find the Cancel Subscription button. Honestly, I had to squint to find it; they make it a light gray color that blends into the background. Click it and follow any confirmation prompts. They might ask you why you're leaving, but you can usually skip that.
How to Cancel CDA Subscription on iOS
If you signed up on your iPhone or iPad, you have to cancel through Apple, not CDA. It's a common point of confusion, so don't waste your time searching inside the CDA app.
1 Open Your iPhone Settings
Don't bother looking in the CDA app itself. Apple handles all subscriptions through the App Store. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Tap on your name and Apple ID at the very top of the Settings screen.
3 Go to Subscriptions
On the next screen, tap on Subscriptions. You'll see a list of all your active and expired app subscriptions.
4 Find CDA and Cancel
Find CDA in the list and tap on it. Then, just hit the Cancel Subscription button. Easy.
How to Cancel CDA Subscription on Android
For Android users, the process is managed entirely through your Google account. It's another one of those things where the app itself is no help. Just head straight to the Play Store.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Like with iOS, you can't cancel from the CDA app. You need to go through the Google Play Store where you made the purchase.
2 Tap Your Profile Icon
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Select Payments & Subscriptions
From the menu that pops up, select Payments & subscriptions.
4 Find CDA and Cancel
Next, tap on Subscriptions. Find your CDA subscription in the list, tap it, and then select Cancel subscription. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish up.
Cancel CDA Subscription with Email
You can email support at [email protected]. Expect a response within 48-72 hours. Be sure to include the email address associated with your account to speed things up.
Cancel CDA Subscription with Live Chat
CDA offers a live chat on their support page. It's usually available from 9 AM to 5 PM PST on weekdays. Be prepared for a bit of a wait, especially during peak hours. One user said, 'The support chat took forever to respond.'
Before you hit cancel, there are a few things to know. First, CDA does not offer prorated refunds. If you cancel, your access will continue until the end of your current billing period. Also, there's no option to pause your subscription, you have to cancel and then sign up again later. Most importantly, make sure you download any projects or files you want to keep. Your data will be deleted 90 days after your subscription ends.
