Cancel Quizlet+ directly through your account settings

To stop your Quizlet subscription, log into your Quizlet account on any device, go to your account settings, find the subscription section, and select the option to cancel. Quizlet will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to stay — you can ignore this and proceed. Your access to Quizlet+ features stops at the end of your current billing period, not when ready.

The exact path depends on whether you are on a computer or phone. On a computer, click your profile icon in the top right corner, select "Account settings," then look for "Subscription" or "Billing." On iPhone or Android, open the app, tap your profile icon, go to "Settings," then find the subscription section. The wording varies slightly between devices, but the cancellation button is always in the same general area.

After you cancel, Quizlet sends a confirmation email to the address on your account. Keep this email — it shows your cancellation date and your final billing date. If you do not receive it within a few minutes, check your spam folder or log back into your account to verify the cancellation went through.

Cancel through your payment method if you subscribed via app store

If you signed up for Quizlet+ through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store rather than directly on Quizlet's website, you must cancel through that app store, not through Quizlet itself. Canceling only on Quizlet's website will not stop the charge because the subscription is managed by Apple or Google.

For iPhone or iPad: Open the Settings app (not Quizlet), tap your name at the top, select "Subscriptions," find Quizlet in the list, and tap "Cancel Subscription." For Android: Open Google Play, tap your profile icon, go to "Payments and subscriptions," select "Subscriptions," find Quizlet, and tap "Cancel subscription." Both stores ask you to confirm before the cancellation takes effect.

After you cancel through the app store, log into your Quizlet account to double-check that your subscription status has updated. Sometimes there is a delay of a few minutes before the app store change syncs with Quizlet's system.

Key Takeaways

  • If you subscribed directly on Quizlet's website, cancel through your Quizlet account settings under the subscription or billing section.
  • If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you must cancel through that app store, not through Quizlet itself.
  • Your Quizlet+ features remain active until the end of your current billing period, even after you cancel.
  • Save your cancellation confirmation email as proof of when your subscription ended.
  • If you subscribed through an app store, log into your Quizlet account afterward to confirm the cancellation synced correctly.

What happens to your account and study sets after cancellation

When your subscription ends, you lose access to Quizlet+ features like offline study mode, no ads, and extended matching questions. Your study sets and flashcards remain in your account and stay visible to you — canceling does not delete anything. You can still create new sets and study using the free version of Quizlet.

If you had shared your study sets with others or made them public, those sets remain shared after your subscription ends. Other students can still see and study from them. You can change the privacy settings of any set at any time, whether you have a subscription or not.

Reactivate your subscription if you change your mind

If you cancel and then want Quizlet+ back, you can reactivate it at any time by going to your account settings and selecting the option to restart your subscription. Quizlet does not charge you for the time between cancellation and reactivation — your new billing cycle starts when you restart.

Sometimes Quizlet offers a discounted rate to returning subscribers. Check your email or log into your account to see if a promotional offer appears before you restart your subscription.

Troubleshoot if cancellation is not working

If you cannot find the subscription section in your account settings, try logging out completely and logging back in. Sometimes the page does not load correctly on the first try. If you are on a phone, try switching to a computer browser or vice versa — the interface sometimes behaves differently between devices.

If the cancellation button is grayed out or does not respond when you click it, clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again. If you subscribed through an app store and the cancellation still is not working, contact that app store's support team directly — they manage the subscription on their end, not Quizlet.

If you subscribed directly through Quizlet and the cancellation button still does not work after trying these steps, contact Quizlet support through the help section of your account. Have your account email and the date you started your subscription ready when you reach out.

Check your bank or credit card statement if you are unsure when you subscribed

If you cannot remember whether you subscribed through Quizlet's website or an app store, check your bank or credit card statement. Look for charges labeled "Quizlet" or the name of the app store (Apple, Google Play). The statement shows you exactly where the charge came from, which tells you where to cancel.

Quizlet charges typically appear monthly on the same day each month. If you see multiple charges or charges you do not recognize, contact your bank or credit card company to dispute them while you work on canceling the subscription itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel in the middle of my billing cycle?

No. Quizlet and the app stores do not issue refunds for partial months. Your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing period, and you are not charged again after that date. If you cancel on the first day of your cycle, you keep access for the full month.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling it?

Quizlet does not offer a pause option. You can only cancel or keep your subscription active. If you want to stop paying but might return later, cancel now and reactivate when you are ready — there is no penalty for restarting.

What if my subscription keeps charging after I canceled?

First, log into your Quizlet account to confirm the cancellation went through and check your subscription status. If it shows as canceled but you were still charged, contact Quizlet support with your cancellation confirmation email and the charge date. If you subscribed through an app store, contact that app store's support team instead.

Do I need to delete my Quizlet account to stop the charges?

No. Canceling your subscription and deleting your account are separate actions. Canceling stops the charges and keeps your account and study sets intact. You only need to delete your account if you want to remove all your data from Quizlet entirely.

How long does it take for the cancellation to show up in my account?

The cancellation usually appears in your account settings within a few minutes. If you subscribed through an app store, it may take up to 24 hours for the change to sync from the app store to Quizlet's system. Check back the next day if it has not updated yet.
