Tips & Things to Know

  • If you subscribed via Apple or Google Play, cancel through that platform instead - website cancellation won't stop app store billing.
  • Your podcasts, listening history, and playback progress stay permanently on your free account after cancellation.
  • There's no pause option - you must fully cancel to stop charges, but you can rejoin anytime without losing data.

Your Consumer Rights

  • UK users: Consumer Rights Act 2015 provides a 14-day cooling-off period for new online subscriptions.
  • Cancellation must not be harder than sign-up, per consumer protection regulations.
