Curiosity Stream, launched in 2015 for documentary lovers, has not escaped the recent wave of price hikes hitting streamers like Disney+. With plans costing $4.99 to $69.99, cancelling can save you up to $69.99 annually. The service covers iOS, Android, and desktop, yet users on Trustpilot give it a low 2.2-star rating, frequently complaining about "unexpected auto-renewals" and "confusing navigation." If you want out, visit Curiosity Stream directly. Whether it is technical glitches or just cutting costs, this guide helps you navigate the exit.

What is Curiosity Stream Cancellation Policy
Curiosity Stream operates on a strict "no refund" basis for partial billing periods. Once you cancel, your access continues until the end of the current billing cycle. This is standard, but still annoying. If you are on an annual plan and cancel three months in, you do not get the remaining nine months of money back. You just keep access. Complaints on the Better Business Bureau often highlight this rigidity, with users feeling stuck in auto-renewals they forgot to turn off.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Curiosity Stream Subscription?
Struggling to find the button? You are not alone.
- Check Third-Party Billing: Did you sign up via Roku, Amazon Prime Video, or Apple TV channels? If so, you must cancel through those specific platforms. The Curiosity Stream website will not let you cancel a Roku-billed account.
- Use a Desktop: The mobile site can be glitchy. Try Chrome or Firefox on a laptop.
- Clear Cache: Sometimes the 'Cancel' button literally disappears due to browser cache. Clear it and reload.
- Contact Support: If all else fails, email
[email protected]. Just expect a delay in response.
