Epicurious has been serving digital recipes since 1995, but paying $4.99 to $40 a year might not fit your budget anymore. With shows like The Bear inspiring everyone to cook, you might have signed up impulsively only to realize you just use TikTok for food hacks. Cancelling now saves you up to $40 annually. Visit Epicurious. Trustpilot reviews for the parent company, Condé Nast, often highlight "billing nightmares" and "non-existent support," while Pissed Consumer tracks over 100 complaints in the last 3 years. Users frequently report unexpected renewals and technical glitches preventing cancellation. If you are tired of the price hikes or just want to stop the auto-pay, here is how to leave.
How to Cancel Epicurious on iPhone (iOS)
Most users sign up via the App Store for convenience. Here is how to cut the cord on your iPhone.
1 Open Settings
Tap the grey Settings gear icon on your home screen. Do not open the Epicurious app itself, as Apple hides the cancel button deep in the system settings.
2 Tap Your Name
Click your Apple ID banner at the very top of the screen. It usually has your name and profile photo.
3 Select Subscriptions
Tap on Subscriptions. If you do not see it, look for "Media & Purchases" instead. It might take a second to load your active list.
4 Find Epicurious
Scroll through the list to find Epicurious. If it is not there, you likely subscribed via the website directly (see the Desktop section).
5 Cancel Subscription
Tap Cancel Subscription. You might have to confirm your choice. If you only see "Renew Subscription," it is already cancelled.
How to Cancel Epicurious on Android
If you are on Android, you likely paid through Google Play. Follow these steps to stop the billing.
1 Open Google Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app. Make sure you are signed into the correct Google account used for the purchase.
2 Tap Profile Icon
Click your profile picture in the top right corner.
3 Payments & Subscriptions
Select Payments & subscriptions from the menu list.
4 Select Subscriptions
Tap Subscriptions to view your active recurring charges.
5 Cancel Epicurious
Find Epicurious in the list, tap it, and select Cancel subscription. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm.
How to Cancel Epicurious on Desktop or Laptop
Direct website subscriptions are managed through the Condé Nast portal. This is often the most confusing method due to poor site navigation.
1 Go to Epicurious
Navigate to the Epicurious website and Log In to your account. This usually redirects you to the Condé Nast portal.
2 Access Account Settings
Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Account Settings or Manage Subscription.
3 Navigate to Billing
Look for the Subscription or Billing tab. The interface changes often, so you might need to click "Customer Care" if the button is missing.
4 Cancel Membership
Click Cancel Subscription. You will likely face a few "Are you sure?" screens trying to keep you. Keep clicking through until you see a confirmation page.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Epicurious Subscription?
If the steps above did not work, you are not alone. Here are a few common blockers:
- Third-Party Billing: Did you subscribe via Amazon Prime or Roku? You must cancel through those specific platforms, not the Epicurious site.
- Different Email: Users often sign up with an old email address. Check your other inboxes for the original receipt.
- Browser Issues: The cancel button sometimes fails to load on mobile browsers. Try logging in from a desktop computer or use "Incognito Mode" to bypass cache errors.
- Contact Support: If all else fails, email their support directly. It takes longer, but it creates a paper trail.
