How to cancel Grammarly
You can cancel your Grammarly subscription through your account settings on the Grammarly website or through the app, depending on which device you use and how you signed up. The process takes a few minutes and stops your recurring charges when ready, though you'll keep access to Grammarly Premium until the end of your current billing period.
If you subscribed through a third-party platform like Apple's App Store, Google Play, or Amazon, you'll need to cancel through that platform instead — Grammarly's website won't have the option to cancel a subscription you didn't purchase there directly.
Key Takeaways
- Canceling through Grammarly's website stops your subscription right away, but you keep Premium access through the end of your current billing cycle.
- If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, or Amazon, you must cancel through that app store or platform, not through Grammarly itself.
- You can pause your subscription for up to three months instead of canceling permanently if you want to keep your account active.
- Grammarly does not charge a cancellation fee, and you won't be charged again once you cancel.
Canceling through the Grammarly website
Log into your Grammarly account at grammarly.com using your email and password. Click on your profile icon in the top right corner, then select "Account" from the dropdown menu.
On the Account page, find the "Subscription" section. You'll see your current plan listed with a button that says "Manage subscription" or "Cancel subscription" depending on your account status. Click that button. Grammarly will ask you to confirm that you want to cancel and may offer you a discount to keep your subscription — you can decline and proceed with cancellation.
Once you confirm, your subscription is canceled. You'll receive a confirmation email, and your billing will stop. You'll still have access to Grammarly Premium for the remainder of the billing period you've already paid for.
Canceling a subscription from Apple, Google Play, or Amazon
If you signed up for Grammarly through the Apple App Store, open the App Store app on your iPhone or iPad, tap your profile icon at the top right, then select "Subscriptions." Find Grammarly in the list, tap it, and select "Cancel Subscription." Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
For Google Play on Android, open the Google Play app, tap your profile icon, go to "Payments and subscriptions," then "Subscriptions." Select Grammarly, tap "Cancel subscription," and confirm. On Amazon, go to "Manage Your Content and Devices," select "Subscriptions," find Grammarly, and choose "Cancel subscription."
Canceling through these platforms stops your recurring charges but doesn't automatically log you out of Grammarly. You'll keep Premium access through the end of your current billing period, just as you would with a direct cancellation.
Pausing instead of canceling
If you're not sure whether you want to cancel permanently, Grammarly lets you pause your subscription for up to three months. During a pause, you won't be charged, but your account and settings stay intact. When the pause ends, your subscription resumes automatically unless you cancel it.
To pause, go to your Account settings on the Grammarly website, find the Subscription section, and look for a "Pause subscription" option. Select how long you want to pause (one, two, or three months), and confirm. This option is not available for subscriptions purchased through third-party app stores.
What happens after you cancel
After cancellation, you'll drop back to Grammarly Free, which includes basic spelling and grammar checks. You'll lose access to advanced features like tone detection, plagiarism checking, and personalized suggestions. Any documents or settings you've saved stay in your account, so you can return to them if you resubscribe later.
Grammarly won't charge you again after cancellation. If you see a charge after you've canceled, check your email for a confirmation message — if the cancellation didn't go through, you can try again or contact Grammarly support through the help section on their website.
Canceling before your trial ends
If you're in a free trial period and want to cancel before it ends, the process is the same: go to Account settings and select the cancellation option. You won't be charged when the trial ends if you've already canceled. You'll keep access to Premium features through the last day of your trial period.
Some trial offers come with a discount code or promotional period. If you cancel during a promotional period, you'll revert to the free version when ready when the promotion ends, not at the end of a full billing cycle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-billing cycle?
Grammarly does not issue refunds for unused time in your current billing period. You'll keep access to Premium features through the end of that period, but you won't receive money back. If you were charged in error or believe there's a billing mistake, contact Grammarly support through your account settings.
Can I cancel and resubscribe later?
Yes. Your account and all your saved documents stay in place after cancellation. You can resubscribe at any time by going back to your Account settings and selecting a plan. Grammarly may offer you a discount to return, but there's no penalty for canceling and coming back.
What if I subscribed through a family plan or shared account?
If someone else manages the family plan, you'll need to ask them to remove you from it, or you can cancel your individual subscription through the app store where you signed up. Canceling your portion won't affect other family members' access.
Do I need to uninstall Grammarly after I cancel?
No. The Grammarly browser extension or app will stay installed and continue to work with the free version. You can uninstall it anytime, but it's not required after cancellation.
