How to cancel your subscription
You can cancel your subscription to All About Finance at any time through your account settings, without penalty or explanation required. The process takes about two minutes and stops all future charges when ready. If you have already paid for a billing period, that access continues until the end of that period — cancellation does not trigger a refund of money already spent.
The steps differ slightly depending on whether you signed up through our website directly, through an app store, or through a third-party payment processor. Each route has its own cancellation page or button, and cancelling in one place does not automatically cancel in another if you have subscriptions in multiple locations.
Key Takeaways
- Cancellation through our website takes effect when ready and stops future charges on your next billing date.
- If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through that app store, not through our website.
- Paid access continues through the end of your current billing period even after you cancel.
- You can reactivate your subscription at any time by signing back in and selecting a plan.
Cancelling a subscription you bought directly from All About Finance
Log in to your account on the All About Finance website using your email address and password. Go to your account settings — usually found by clicking your name or profile icon in the top right corner — and select "Subscriptions" or "Billing".
Find the active subscription you want to cancel and click the button labeled "Cancel Subscription" or "End Subscription". You will see a confirmation screen asking you to confirm the cancellation. Click confirm. You will receive an email confirming that your subscription has been cancelled, and it will list the date your access ends.
After cancellation, you can still log in and read content through the end of your paid period. Once that period ends, you will see a message asking you to choose a plan if you want to continue.
Cancelling a subscription through Apple App Store
If you subscribed through the All About Finance app on an iPhone or iPad, you must cancel through Apple's system, not through our website or app. Open the Settings app on your device and tap your name at the top. Select "Subscriptions", then find "All About Finance" in the list.
Tap "All About Finance" and then tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Remove". Apple will ask you to confirm. After you confirm, you will receive an email from Apple confirming the cancellation. Your access continues through the end of your current billing period.
If you cancel through our website or app instead of through Apple Settings, your subscription will still be active and you will still be charged. Only the Apple Settings cancellation stops the charges.
Cancelling a subscription through Google Play
If you subscribed through the All About Finance app on an Android device, you must cancel through Google Play, not through our website or app. Open the Google Play Store app and tap your profile icon in the top right. Select "Payments and subscriptions", then tap "Subscriptions".
Find "All About Finance" in the list and tap it. Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm your choice. Google will send you an email confirming the cancellation. Your access continues through the end of your current billing period.
Cancelling through our website or app will not stop Google Play from charging you. Only the Google Play cancellation stops the charges.
What happens after you cancel
You can log in to your account and read all content you have already accessed for the remainder of your paid period. On the day after your billing period ends, you will no longer be able to read paid content, though you can still access any free resources on the site.
If you want to reactivate your subscription later, log back in and select a plan. You will not lose your account, saved articles, or reading history. Reactivation is treated as a new subscription and starts a new billing cycle.
If you cancel and then when ready reactivate on the same day, your original billing date may change. Contact our support team if you want to keep your original billing date.
If you are having trouble cancelling
If the cancellation button does not appear in your account settings, your subscription may already be cancelled, or it may be managed through a different account. Log out completely and log back in to refresh your session, then check your account settings again.
If you subscribed through an app store but cannot find the subscription in your app store settings, the subscription may be linked to a different Apple ID or Google account than the one you are currently using. Check which account you used when you first downloaded the app.
If you have cancelled but are still being charged, contact our support team with the email address associated with your account and the date of the unwanted charge. We can investigate whether the cancellation processed correctly and issue a refund if the charge occurred after your cancellation date.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a refund if I cancel in the middle of my billing period?
No. Cancellation stops future charges but does not refund money you have already paid for the current period. Your access continues through the end of that period. If you were charged in error or after you cancelled, contact our support team with proof of the cancellation date.
Can I pause my subscription instead of cancelling it?
All About Finance does not offer a pause feature. You can cancel at any time and reactivate later without losing your account or history. When you reactivate, you will start a new billing cycle on the date you choose.
What if I cancel but forget and get charged again?
Check your cancellation confirmation email for the exact date your access ends. If you are charged after that date, contact our support team when ready with your confirmation email and the charge date. We can review the charge and process a refund if it occurred after your access period ended.
Do I need to cancel before changing payment methods?
No. You can update your payment method in your account settings without cancelling. If you want to switch to a different subscription plan instead, you can change your plan directly — you do not need to cancel first.
If I cancel on the app, does it cancel my website subscription too?
No. App store subscriptions and website subscriptions are separate. If you have both, you must cancel each one separately through the location where you bought it. Cancelling one does not affect the other.
