Deleting the ABCmouse app, removing a child's profile, or stopping your use of the service will not stop recurring charges. You must complete the cancellation process to stop future billing.
To stop recurring ABCmouse charges, you must complete the cancellation steps specific to the platform where you signed up. Because Age of Learning distributes ABCmouse across several app stores and its own website, billing is managed by different entities.
If you have multiple active subscriptions (such as ABCmouse, ABCmouse Classic, or sister platforms like Adventure Academy), you must cancel each subscription individually.
Identify Your ABCmouse Billing Source
Before canceling, you must determine which company processes your payments. ABCmouse support cannot modify or refund subscriptions billed by third-party app stores like Apple, Google, or Amazon.
To find your billing source, check your bank statement for the transaction descriptor, look for past email receipts, or check your billing details in your ABCmouse parent dashboard.
Depending on your signup method, your subscription is managed by one of the following:
- ABCmouse (Age of Learning, Inc.): Billed directly to your credit card, PayPal, or Apple Pay on the website.
- Apple: Billed through the App Store on an iPhone or iPad.
- Google: Billed through the Google Play Store on an Android device.
- Amazon: Billed through your Amazon account, typically initiated on a Fire tablet.
Once you have identified your billing source, follow the corresponding instructions below.
Cancel Directly through the ABCmouse Website or App
If Age of Learning bills you directly, you can cancel your membership using either the web portal or the mobile app. If you have a direct monthly subscription, you can choose to pause your account temporarily instead of canceling it completely.

ABCmouse Refund and Trial Policies
When you cancel your membership, you retain access to all learning activities, lessons, and progress tracking until the end of your current billing cycle.
Age of Learning does not offer prorated or full refunds for past payments. To avoid being charged for another period, make sure to complete the cancellation process at least 24 to 48 hours before your next scheduled renewal date.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose my child's progress if I cancel?
No. ABCmouse stores your child's profile data and learning history. If you choose to resubscribe later using the same login details, your child can pick up right where they left off.
Why was I charged after canceling?
This usually happens for one of three reasons:
- Multiple subscriptions: You have multiple active accounts or separate add-on subscriptions, like ABCmouse Classic or Adventure Academy, which must be canceled individually.
- Incomplete cancellation: The process was not completed all the way to the final confirmation screen.
- Different billing source: You signed up on a second device or under a different email address.
Always check your email inbox for a cancellation confirmation message to ensure the request went through.
Can I pause my ABCmouse subscription instead of canceling?
Yes, but only if you are billed directly by ABCmouse on a monthly basis. You can choose to pause your subscription in your account settings. If your subscription is managed by a third party like Apple, Google, or Amazon, you cannot pause the service; you must cancel it completely to stop recurring charges.
