Canceling your Grammarly Premium subscription stops future automatic billing while letting you keep your premium access until the end of your billing cycle [1.1.3]. Because Grammarly uses different payment systems, the cancellation steps depend on how you originally subscribed.
Determine Your Billing Source
To cancel Grammarly, you must use the same platform you used to sign up. You can easily check where your subscription is billed:
- Go to your Grammarly Subscription page in a web browser.
- Look at your subscription details to identify your billing source.
If the Cancel Subscription button is missing from this page, you subscribed through a third-party store (like Apple or Google) or are part of a team plan where only your administrator can cancel.
If you do not see a cancellation button on your subscription page, you cannot cancel directly through the Grammarly website. You must use Apple App Store settings, Google Play Store settings, or contact your team administrator.
Cancel Grammarly on the Web (Direct Subscription)
If you paid Grammarly directly using a credit card or PayPal on a desktop or mobile browser, use the following steps to end your subscription.
Log in to your Grammarly account
Go to grammarly.com and sign in with your account credentials.
Access your account settings
Click the Account tab on the left-hand sidebar.
Open your subscription details
Select Your account and then click the Subscription tab.

Finalize the cancellation
Click Yes, continue, choose a reason for leaving, and click Cancel Subscription to confirm.
Cancel Grammarly on iPhone or iPad (App Store)
If you subscribed to Grammarly Premium through the iOS app, your payment is managed by Apple. You must cancel the subscription through your device settings.
Open your device settings
Tap the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.

Tap your name at the top of the settings menu.

Tap Subscriptions to view all active services tied to your Apple ID.

Cancel Grammarly on Android (Google Play Store)
For subscriptions initiated on an Android device using Google billing, you must cancel through the Google Play Store.
Open the Google Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device.

What Happens After You Cancel?
Canceling your subscription stops automatic renewal but does not delete your account. Here is what you can expect:
- Keep Premium access: You will retain access to all Premium features until the end of your current billing cycle.
- Downgrade to the free plan: Once your billing period ends, your account transitions to Grammarly Free. You will still get basic spelling and grammar corrections, but you will lose advanced features like tone adjustments and full-sentence rewrites.
- Your documents remain safe: Your saved documents in the Grammarly Editor are safe. Downgrading your subscription does not delete your work.
- No partial refunds: Grammarly does not issue partial or prorated refunds for unused billing periods unless legally required (such as the cooling-off period for residents of the EU).
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a refund after I cancel?
All Grammarly subscriptions are generally non-refundable. If you cancel mid-cycle, you will not receive a prorated refund, but your service will remain active until the end of the paid period. If you subscribed through Apple or Google, you must request a refund directly from them, as Grammarly cannot process refunds for third-party billing.
Will my personal dictionary and documents remain safe?
Yes. Your documents, history, and custom dictionary words are tied to your profile. When you cancel your paid plan, your account simply downgrades to the free tier. Your saved documents remain completely intact and accessible.
How do I cancel a Grammarly business or team subscription?
Only the primary account administrator can cancel a business subscription or adjust seats. If you are the admin, log in to your Grammarly Business account, open the Admin Panel, go to the Subscription tab, and follow the prompts to cancel. Individual team members cannot cancel the plan on their own.
