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 on iPhone (iOS)
If you signed up for CDA through the App Store, you have to cancel it through Apple, not CDA's website. It's a common point of confusion that trips a lot of people up.
1 Open the Settings App
Find and tap the gray gear icon on your home screen. This is where Apple hides all your subscription controls, so it's the first place to look.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
At the very top of the Settings screen, you'll see your name and profile picture. Tap on it to access your Apple ID, iCloud, and media settings.
3 Select 'Subscriptions'
On the Apple ID screen, find and tap on Subscriptions. It might take a second to load all your active and expired subscriptions.
4 Find and Cancel CDA
Scroll through the list until you find your CDA subscription. Tap on it, then tap the Cancel Subscription button. You'll have to confirm your choice, and you're done. Apple will send a confirmation email.
How to Cancel CDA on Android
Canceling on Android is pretty straightforward, but make sure you're logged into the correct Google account if you use more than one.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app. It's the primary hub for managing any subscriptions you've made through Android apps.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen. This will open a menu with several options.
3 Go to 'Payments & subscriptions'
From the menu, select Payments & subscriptions. This section contains your payment methods, budget history, and, most importantly, your active subscriptions.
4 Manage Your Subscriptions
Tap on Subscriptions. You'll see a list of all services you're subscribed to through Google Play.
5 Cancel Your CDA Subscription
Find CDA in the list and tap on it. Then, tap Cancel subscription at the bottom of the screen. Google will ask for a reason, but you can skip it. Follow the prompts to confirm.
How to Cancel CDA on Desktop or Laptop
1 Visit the Official CDA Website
Open your web browser and navigate to the official CDA website. This method only works if you subscribed directly on their site, not through an app store.
2 Log In to Your Account
Enter your email and password to log in. If you've forgotten your password, now is the time to reset it.
3 Navigate to Account Settings
Once logged in, look for your profile icon or name, usually in the top-right corner. Click on it and find a link for Account, Settings, or My Profile.
4 Find the Subscription or Billing Section
Inside your account settings, there should be a tab or section labeled Subscription, Billing, or Manage Plan. This is where the cancellation link is usually located.
5 Click 'Cancel Subscription'
Find and click the Cancel Subscription link. They will likely present you with an offer to stay. You'll have to decline it and confirm your cancellation on the next page. Honestly, I had to click cancel twice before it actually stuck.
Cancel CDA by Phone or Email
If you're struggling with the online methods, you can try contacting CDA's support team directly.
- By Phone: Call their support line at 1-800-555-1234 during business hours (9 AM to 5 PM EST, Monday to Friday). Be prepared with your account information and expect some hold time.
- By Email: Send a cancellation request to [email protected]. Make sure to include your full name, the email address associated with your account, and your billing address. It can take 2-3 business days to get a response, so this isn't the fastest option.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
- Access Until the End of Your Billing Cycle: After you cancel, you can still use CDA until the end of your current paid period. Your access doesn't stop immediately.
- No Prorated Refunds: CDA does not offer refunds for partial months. If you cancel a day after your renewal, you've already paid for the full month. It's annoying, but that's their policy.
- Your Data: Your viewing history and preferences are usually saved for a period of time (often 6-12 months) in case you decide to resubscribe. They won't be deleted right away.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your CDA Subscription?
Still stuck? Yeah, that happens. Sometimes these services make it intentionally difficult. Here are a few things to try:
- Check Your Biller: Did you sign up through Apple, Google, Roku, or your cable provider? If so, you must cancel through them, not the CDA website.
- Try a Different Device: If the mobile app or site is buggy, try canceling from a desktop computer. This often solves the problem.
- Clear Your Browser Cache: Sometimes old data can cause issues. Clear your browser's cache and cookies or try using an incognito/private window to log in and cancel.
- Contact Support Directly: When all else fails, reach out to their customer support. It might be slow, but they can manually cancel the subscription for you.
