Cancel Grammarly through your account settings

The fastest way to cancel Grammarly is to log into your account on Grammarly.com, go to your billing settings, and end the subscription there. You will see the cancellation option on the same page where your payment method and renewal date appear. Grammarly processes cancellations when ready, though you keep access to premium features through the end of your current billing period.

If you subscribed through the Grammarly website directly — not through an app store — this is your only cancellation method. Grammarly does not process cancellations by email or phone, so you must use the website to end the subscription yourself.

Key Takeaways

  • Log into Grammarly.com, find your billing settings, and click the cancellation option to end your subscription when ready.
  • You keep premium access through the end of your current billing cycle even after you cancel, so you do not lose features mid-month.
  • If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through that app store instead of the Grammarly website.
  • Grammarly does not offer refunds for partial months, but you can cancel anytime without penalty.
  • After cancellation, your account reverts to the free version with basic grammar and spelling checks only.

Cancel a subscription bought through the Apple App Store

If you subscribed to Grammarly Premium through the Apple App Store on an iPhone or iPad, you must cancel through Apple's settings, not through Grammarly itself. Open the Settings app, tap your name at the top, select Subscriptions, find Grammarly in the list, and tap Cancel Subscription. Apple processes the cancellation when ready and confirms it by email.

Canceling through Apple does not delete your Grammarly account — it only ends the recurring charge. You can still log into Grammarly.com with the same email and password, and your account will show the free version once your current period expires.

Cancel a subscription bought through Google Play

On Android devices, open the Google Play app, tap your profile icon in the top right corner, select Manage Subscriptions, find Grammarly, and tap Cancel Subscription. Google will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may show you a retention offer — you can decline and proceed with canceling. The subscription ends at the end of your current billing period.

Like Apple cancellations, ending your subscription through Google Play does not close your Grammarly account. You retain access to your writing history and can return to the free version without losing your account data.

What happens after you cancel

Once your current billing period ends, Grammarly removes your premium features and your account converts to the free version. The free version includes basic grammar and spelling checks, but removes advanced features like tone detection, plagiarism checking, and style suggestions. You keep all your writing history and can still use Grammarly in your browser and in most writing apps.

If you change your mind after canceling, you can resubscribe at any time by going back to your billing settings or the app store where you originally subscribed. Grammarly does not penalize you for canceling and restarting, and you will not lose your account or documents.

Troubleshooting cancellation problems

If you cannot find the cancellation button on Grammarly.com, make sure you are logged into the correct account — some people have multiple Grammarly accounts tied to different email addresses. Go to Grammarly.com/account and look for a Billing or Subscription section. If the page looks different or you see no billing information, you may be logged into a free account that has no subscription to cancel.

If you subscribed through an app store but cannot remember which one, check your email for the most recent receipt from Apple, Google, or Amazon. The receipt will show which platform charged you and confirm where you need to go to cancel. If you still cannot locate the cancellation option after checking both the website and your app store, contact Grammarly support through the Help section on Grammarly.com and provide them with the email address on your account.

Refunds and billing after cancellation

Grammarly does not issue refunds for unused time in your current billing period. If you cancel on the 15th of a month and your renewal date is the 30th, you keep premium access through the 30th but do not receive a refund for those 15 days. This is standard for most subscription services and applies whether you cancel through Grammarly, Apple, or Google Play.

After cancellation, Grammarly will not charge you again. No additional payments will appear on your credit card or app store account. If you see a charge after your cancellation date has passed, contact your payment provider or app store to report it, as this would indicate an error on Grammarly's part.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?

No. Grammarly does not refund unused portions of your billing period. You keep premium access through your renewal date, but the company does not prorate charges. If a refund is important to you, contact Grammarly support through the Help section on their website and explain your situation — they occasionally make exceptions for billing errors or technical problems.

Will I lose my documents and writing history if I cancel?

No. Your account, documents, and writing history remain in Grammarly after you cancel. You straightforward lose access to premium features. You can log back in anytime and resubscribe without losing anything.

What if I subscribed through my work or school account?

If your employer or school provided Grammarly, you likely cannot cancel it yourself — your organization manages the subscription. Contact your IT department or HR to request removal from the Grammarly license. Once they remove you, your account will revert to free after your current access period ends.

How do I cancel if I forgot my password?

Go to Grammarly.com and click Forgot Password on the login page. Grammarly will send a reset link to the email address on your account. Once you reset your password and log in, you can navigate to your billing settings and cancel. If you no longer have access to that email address, contact Grammarly support with proof of account ownership.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?

Grammarly does not offer a pause option. You can only cancel or keep your subscription active. If you want to stop charges temporarily, cancel now and resubscribe later when you need premium features again — there is no penalty for restarting.
