So, you're ready to cancel your Audiobooks.com subscription. Maybe you've burned through your wishlist, or maybe the monthly fee just isn't worth it anymore. It happens. Audiobooks.com, which started back in 2012, is a solid service, but sometimes you just need to cut back on subscriptions. With plans typically running about $14.95 a month, you can save up to $179 a year by canceling. This guide covers how to do it on your desktop, iOS, and Android device. Honestly, with all the hype around audiobooks for series like 'Fourth Wing', it's easy to sign up and then realize you're not listening enough to justify the cost.
How to Cancel Audiobooks Subscription on Desktop
Canceling on a computer is probably the most direct way. You go straight to the source instead of dealing with Apple or Google's menus. I had to refresh the page once because the 'My Account' dropdown wouldn't load, so be aware of that.
1 Log In to Your Account
First, open your web browser and head over to the Audiobooks.com website. You'll need to log in, so have your email and password ready.
2 Navigate to 'My Account'
Once you're in, look for your name or the 'My Account' section. It's usually in the top right corner of the page. Give it a click.
3 Find the Cancellation Link
Inside your account dashboard, you should see an option that says something like 'Cancel Membership' or 'Membership Details'. They sometimes bury this, so you might have to look around a bit. It's a bit annoying.
4 Confirm Your Cancellation
Click the cancel link and follow the on-screen instructions. They'll probably ask you why you're leaving and might offer you a deal to stay. Just click through the prompts until you get a final confirmation message.
How to Cancel Audiobooks Subscription on iOS
If you signed up on your iPhone, you have to cancel through Apple. Don't even bother looking for a cancel button in the app itself, it's not there. This is a common point of frustration for users.
1 Open Your iPhone Settings
You can't cancel inside the Audiobooks.com app. It's an Apple thing. 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, find and tap on 'Subscriptions'. You'll see a list of all your active and expired app subscriptions.
4 Find Audiobooks.com and Cancel
Find Audiobooks.com in the list and tap on it. Then, just hit the 'Cancel Subscription' button. It's that simple. Or, it should be.
How to Cancel Audiobooks Subscription on Android
For Android users, the process is managed entirely through the Google Play Store. It's pretty straightforward, but it's weird that this can't be done from within the app itself. As of early 2024, this is still the only way on Android.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Just like with iOS, you can't cancel from inside the app. You need to go through the Google Play Store. Open it up.
2 Tap Your Profile Icon
Tap on your profile icon, which is usually in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Select 'Payments & subscriptions'
From the menu that pops up, select 'Payments & subscriptions' and then tap on 'Subscriptions' on the next page.
4 Find Audiobooks.com and Cancel
You'll see your Audiobooks.com subscription here. Tap on it, and then tap 'Cancel subscription'. Follow any final prompts to confirm.
Cancel Audiobooks Subscription with phone
You can call their support team at 1-855-876-6195. They are available 24/7. Be prepared for a potential wait time and have your account information ready before you call.
Cancel Audiobooks Subscription with email
Send an email to [email protected]. Response times can vary, so expect to wait a day or two for a reply. This is a good option if you want a written record of your cancellation request.
Cancel Audiobooks Subscription with live chat
Audiobooks.com has a live chat feature on their website. Go to their 'Contact Us' page and look for the chat bubble. It's usually faster than email, but you might have to wait in a queue. Weirdly, it worked on desktop but not mobile for me.
Before you hit cancel, know this. You will lose any unused credits you have in your account at the end of your billing cycle. Use them first. You paid for them. You will, however, keep any audiobooks you've already purchased with credits. They are yours to keep forever. Also, Audiobooks.com does offer an option to pause your membership for 1, 2, or 3 months, which might be a better option if you just need a break.
