Stan, the Australian streaming service launched in 2015, has become a go-to for everything from local originals to big international shows. Maybe you signed up just to watch the new season of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under and now it's over. It happens. With plans ranging from $12 to $21, those monthly charges can add up if you're not watching. This guide will help you cancel your subscription across desktop, iOS, and Android without any headaches. By cancelling, you could save up to $252 a year. Let's get that money back in your pocket.
How to Cancel Stan on iPhone (iOS)
If you signed up for Stan directly through the App Store using your Apple ID, this is the only way to cancel. It won't work if you subscribed on their website.
1 Open the Settings App
Find and tap the gray Settings icon on your iPhone's home screen. This is where all your device and account settings live.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are at the very top of the Settings menu. Tap on it to access your Apple ID, iCloud, and subscription settings.
3 Select Subscriptions
On the Apple ID screen, tap on Subscriptions. You'll see a list of all your active and expired subscriptions tied to your Apple account. It can be a surprisingly long list.
4 Find and Cancel Stan
Scroll through the list until you find Stan. Tap on it, then select Cancel Subscription. You'll need to confirm your choice. Apple will handle the rest.
How to Cancel Stan on Android
This method is for users who subscribed to Stan via the Google Play Store. If you signed up on a browser, you'll need to use the desktop method below.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device. It's the primary hub for managing apps and subscriptions on Android.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen. This opens a menu with your account options.
3 Go to Payments & Subscriptions
From the profile menu, select Payments & subscriptions. Then, tap on Subscriptions to see everything you're currently paying for through Google Play.
4 Locate and Cancel Stan
Find Stan in your list of active subscriptions and tap on it. Follow the on-screen instructions to Cancel subscription. Google will ask you for a reason, but you can skip it.
How to Cancel Stan on Desktop or Laptop
This is the most common way to cancel, especially if you didn't sign up through a mobile app store. It works on any computer with a web browser.
1 Visit the Stan Website and Log In
Open your web browser and go to the official Stan website. Click the Log in button and enter your account credentials.
2 Navigate to Your Account Settings
Once logged in, hover over your profile name in the top-right corner. A dropdown menu will appear. Click on Manage Account.
3 Find the Subscription Section
In the Manage Account area, you should see your subscription details displayed prominently. Look for a link or button that says Cancel my subscription or something similar.
4 Confirm Your Cancellation
Stan will likely present you with an offer to stay or ask for feedback. You'll have to click through a few confirmation screens. Keep clicking cancel until you see a final confirmation message. Honestly, I had to click it twice before it actually registered.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
Before you go, keep a few things in mind:
- No Refunds: Stan does not offer refunds for partial billing cycles. If you cancel, you can continue watching until the end of your current paid period.
- Account Access: Your account isn't deleted immediately. You can still log in, and your viewing history and watchlist will likely be saved for a while in case you decide to resubscribe.
- Sport Add-On: If you have the Stan Sport add-on, cancelling your base Stan plan will automatically cancel the Sport package as well.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Stan Subscription?
Can't find the cancel button? It's a common frustration. Here are a few things to try:
- Check Your Biller: If you can't cancel on the Stan website, you probably subscribed through a third party. Check your Apple Subscriptions or Google Play Subscriptions first.
- Use a Computer: Mobile web browsers can sometimes be glitchy. Try logging in on a desktop or laptop computer. This solves the problem for most people.
- Clear Your Cache: Sometimes old data stored in your browser 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: If all else fails, you'll have to contact Stan's customer support through their website's help section. Be prepared for a bit of a wait.
