Cancel Blink Subscription Through Your Account Settings

To cancel a Blink subscription, log into your Blink account on the Blink Home Security app or at blink.com, then go to your account settings and select the subscription plan you want to cancel. The exact steps depend on whether you pay through Blink directly, Amazon, Apple, Google Play, or another payment method — each route has a different cancellation page.

If you pay Blink directly through their website, navigate to your account settings, find "Subscription" or "Plans," and look for a "Cancel Plan" or "Manage Subscription" button. Blink will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer a discount to keep you as a customer. Once you confirm, your subscription ends at the end of your current billing cycle, not when ready.

Your Blink cameras will continue to work after cancellation, but you will lose access to cloud video storage, person detection, and other features that require a paid plan. Local storage on a Blink Sync Module (if you have one) will still function. You can resubscribe at any time without penalty.

Key Takeaways

  • Log into your Blink account through the app or blink.com and find the subscription settings to start the cancellation process.
  • Your cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, not right away, so you keep service until that date.
  • If you pay through Amazon, Apple, or Google Play instead of Blink directly, you must cancel through that platform's settings, not through Blink.
  • After cancellation, your cameras stop recording to the cloud and you lose features like person detection, but the hardware itself keeps working.
  • You can restart your subscription later without losing your camera setup or account history.

Cancel a Subscription Paid Through Amazon, Apple, or Google Play

If you set up your Blink subscription through Amazon Prime, Apple App Store, or Google Play Store, you cannot cancel it in the Blink app. Instead, you must go to the payment platform where you originally signed up and cancel there.

For Amazon Prime members: Go to amazon.com, sign in, navigate to "Your Account," then "Memberships and Subscriptions." Find Blink in the list and select "Manage Subscription" or "Cancel Subscription." The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.

For Apple App Store subscribers: Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad, tap your name at the top, select "Subscriptions," find Blink, and tap "Cancel Subscription." On a Mac, open the App Store, click your account icon, select "Subscriptions," find Blink, and click "Edit" then "Cancel."

For Google Play Store subscribers: Open Google Play on your Android device, tap your profile icon, select "Payments and Subscriptions," then "Subscriptions." Find Blink and tap "Cancel Subscription." You can also manage this through your Google Account settings at myaccount.google.com.

What Happens to Your Cameras After Cancellation

Your Blink cameras remain physically functional after you cancel, but the features you lose depend on your subscription level. All Blink cameras stop uploading video to Blink's cloud servers, which means you cannot view recorded clips from the Blink app or website after cancellation.

If you own a Blink Sync Module, local video storage continues to work. The Sync Module stores video on its internal storage or a connected USB drive, and you can still view that footage through the Blink app even without a subscription. This is the main reason some users keep their Sync Module after cancelling — they retain basic recording without paying.

Features that stop working when ready include person detection alerts, advanced motion detection, and any other cloud-based features tied to your plan. Live view through the app will still work, but you cannot save or review past recordings unless they are stored locally on a Sync Module.

Reactivate Your Subscription Later

Cancelling your Blink subscription does not delete your account or camera setup. Your account remains active, and all your camera configurations, names, and settings stay in place. You can restart your subscription at any time by going back to your account settings and selecting a plan.

When you resubscribe, you will not lose any of your camera history or account data. Your cameras will resume cloud recording and all premium features when ready. There is no penalty for cancelling and restarting — Blink does not charge a reactivation fee or require you to set up your cameras again.

If you want to pause your subscription temporarily rather than cancel completely, check whether Blink offers a pause option in your account settings. Some subscription services allow you to suspend billing for a set period without losing your account, though this varies by payment method.

Troubleshooting Cancellation Problems

If you cannot find the cancellation button in your Blink account, check whether you are logged into the correct account. Some users have multiple Blink accounts linked to different email addresses. Make sure you are in the account that holds the subscription you want to cancel.

If you paid through a third-party platform (Amazon, Apple, or Google Play) but cannot find the subscription in that platform's settings, the subscription may be listed under a different email address or account. Check the email address associated with your Blink account and make sure it matches the one you use for Amazon, Apple, or Google.

If you see an error message when trying to cancel, try logging out of the Blink app completely, clearing your app cache, and logging back in. If the problem persists, contact Blink Support through the app or at blink.com/support. Have your account email and subscription details ready when you reach out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does cancelling my subscription delete my cameras or account?

No. Cancelling only stops your paid plan. Your account, camera setup, and all settings remain saved. Your cameras stay connected to your account and will resume cloud recording if you resubscribe later.

Will my cameras stop working when ready after I cancel?

Your subscription cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, not right away. You keep full access to all features until that date. After it ends, cloud recording and premium features stop, but live view and local storage (if you have a Sync Module) continue.

Can I cancel just one camera's subscription instead of the whole plan?

Blink subscriptions cover all cameras on your account, not individual devices. You cannot cancel for one camera while keeping the plan active for others. If you want to stop monitoring one camera, you can remove it from your account, but that does not reduce your subscription cost.

What if I paid through Amazon Prime — do I cancel in the Blink app?

No. If you subscribed through Amazon Prime, Apple, or Google Play, you must cancel through that platform's settings, not in the Blink app. Blink's cancellation button will not work for subscriptions paid through a third party.

Can I get a refund for the current billing period after I cancel?

Most subscription services do not issue refunds for the current billing period once it has started. Your cancellation takes effect at the end of that period. Check Blink's refund policy or contact Blink Support if you believe you are owed a refund for a specific reason, such as a billing error.
