Cancel Grammarly through your account settings

To cancel Grammarly, log into your account at grammarly.com, go to your account settings, and select the subscription or billing section. Look for a "Cancel subscription" or "Manage subscription" button — the exact wording varies depending on whether you have Grammarly Premium or Grammarly Business. Click it, and Grammarly will ask you to confirm. Your cancellation takes effect immediately, though you keep access to Grammarly Premium features through the end of your current billing period.

If you subscribed through the Grammarly browser extension or desktop app rather than the website, you still need to cancel through your account on grammarly.com. Uninstalling the app does not cancel your subscription — it only removes the software from your device. Your payment method will continue to be charged unless you formally cancel through your account settings.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancel Grammarly by logging into grammarly.com, navigating to account settings, and selecting the option to cancel your subscription.
  • Your cancellation takes effect right away, but you can still use Grammarly Premium until your current billing period ends.
  • Uninstalling the Grammarly app does not cancel your subscription — you must cancel through your online account to stop charges.
  • If you subscribed through a third-party app store or payment platform, you may need to cancel through that service instead of Grammarly's website.
  • Keep your confirmation email after cancellation as proof in case billing questions arise later.

Where to find the cancel button if you cannot locate it

Grammarly's account settings page reorganizes occasionally, so the path to cancellation can shift. If you log in and do not immediately see a subscription or billing section, look for a menu icon (three horizontal lines) or a profile icon in the top right corner. Click it and scroll for "Subscription," "Billing," "Plans," or "Account." Any of these sections should contain your cancellation option.

On mobile, the layout is often compressed. Open the Grammarly website in your phone's browser rather than the app, log in, and tap the menu icon. The subscription settings are usually easier to find on the full website than within the mobile app itself.

Cancellations through third-party payment platforms

If you subscribed to Grammarly through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Amazon Appstore, or another third-party platform, you cannot cancel through Grammarly's website. Instead, you must cancel through the platform where you made the purchase. Grammarly does not have access to those subscriptions, so contacting Grammarly support will not stop the charges.

For Apple subscriptions, go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions and find Grammarly in the list. For Google Play, open the Play Store app, tap your profile icon, go to Manage subscriptions, and select Grammarly. For Amazon, log into your Amazon account, go to Your Account > Login & Security > Your Subscriptions, and find Grammarly there. Each platform will ask you to confirm the cancellation.

What happens to your data and access after cancellation

When you cancel, Grammarly removes your Premium features at the end of your current billing cycle. You revert to the free version, which includes basic grammar and spelling checks but not advanced features like tone detection, plagiarism checking, or personalized suggestions. Your writing history and saved documents remain in your account — cancellation does not delete them.

If you want to delete your account entirely rather than just cancel your subscription, that is a separate action. You can request account deletion through Grammarly's privacy settings, though Grammarly may retain some data for legal or security reasons. Canceling your subscription and deleting your account are two different things, so be clear about which you want.

Refunds and billing after cancellation

Grammarly does not refund partial months or unused time within your billing period. If you cancel mid-month, you keep access to Premium features until your next billing date, but you will not receive money back for the unused portion. This is standard for most subscription services.

After cancellation, check your payment method to confirm no further charges appear. Grammarly should stop charging you on your next billing date. If you see a charge after cancellation, contact Grammarly support with your cancellation confirmation email and the date of the unwanted charge. Keep records of all communications in case you need to dispute the charge with your bank or credit card company.

Reasons to pause instead of cancel

If you are canceling because you do not use Grammarly right now but might later, consider whether pausing your subscription is an option. Some subscription services let you pause for a set period without losing your account settings or paying. Check your subscription settings to see if Grammarly offers this — it is not always available, but it is worth looking for before you cancel.

If you are canceling because of cost, Grammarly occasionally runs discounts or offers lower-priced plans. Before you cancel, check whether a cheaper tier exists or whether Grammarly has sent you any promotional offers. You can also reach out to Grammarly support to ask whether they have any retention offers, though there is no may provide they will.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my writing history if I cancel?

No. Your writing history, saved documents, and account information stay in your account after cancellation. You can log back in anytime and see everything you wrote before. You just lose access to Premium features like advanced suggestions and plagiarism checks.

Can I cancel immediately or do I have to wait until my billing period ends?

You can cancel immediately through your account settings. Your cancellation takes effect right away, but Grammarly lets you keep using Premium features through the end of your current billing period. You will not be charged again after that date.

What if I subscribed through my work or school account?

If your employer or school provided Grammarly as part of a group plan, you cannot cancel it yourself. Your access ends when your employment or enrollment ends, or when your organization removes you from the plan. Contact your HR department or school IT support if you want to opt out.

How do I cancel if I forgot my password?

Go to grammarly.com and click "Log in." Then click "Forgot password?" and follow the email link to reset it. Once you log back in, you can cancel through your account settings. If you no longer have access to the email address you used to sign up, contact Grammarly support with proof of identity.

Can I get a refund if I cancel within a few days of subscribing?

Grammarly's refund policy varies by region and payment method. Some countries require a grace period for refunds, while others do not. Check Grammarly's refund policy on their website or contact support with your order date and reason for the refund request. They will tell you whether you are within the refund window.
