How to cancel Grammarly through your account settings

Log into your Grammarly account on the web at grammarly.com. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Billing" from the menu. On the Billing page, you will see your current subscription plan listed under "Subscription." Below that, look for a button or link labeled "Cancel subscription" or "Manage subscription." Click it, and Grammarly will show you a cancellation confirmation screen. You must confirm the cancellation to complete the process.

After you confirm, your subscription ends immediately, though you retain access to your account through the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if you paid on the 15th of the month and cancel on the 20th, you can still use Grammarly until the 15th of the next month. Grammarly does not issue refunds for the unused portion of your billing cycle.

Canceling a subscription paid through Apple, Google, or Amazon

If you subscribed to Grammarly through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Amazon Appstore, you must cancel through that platform, not through Grammarly's website. Canceling only on Grammarly's site will not stop the charges from your app store.

Apple App Store: Open the App Store app, tap your profile icon, select "Subscriptions," find Grammarly, and tap "Cancel Subscription." Google Play Store: Open Google Play, tap your profile icon, go to "Payments and subscriptions," select "Subscriptions," choose Grammarly, and tap "Cancel subscription." Amazon Appstore: Open the Appstore app, tap the menu icon, go to "Subscriptions," select Grammarly, and tap "Cancel Subscription."

What happens after you cancel

Once your billing cycle ends, your account reverts to Grammarly Free. You lose access to premium features like advanced tone detection, plagiarism checking, and citation tools. Your writing history and saved documents remain in your account, but you cannot use premium features on them. If you resubscribe later, you regain access to those documents and your premium features return.

Grammarly will send a cancellation confirmation email to the address associated with your account. Keep this email for your records. If you do not receive it within a few hours, check your spam folder or log back into your account to confirm the cancellation went through.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancel through your Grammarly account settings by clicking your profile icon, selecting Billing, and choosing Cancel Subscription.
  • If you subscribed through an app store (Apple, Google, or Amazon), you must cancel through that platform instead of Grammarly's website.
  • Your access continues through the end of your current billing cycle, and Grammarly does not refund unused time.
  • After cancellation, your account becomes Grammarly Free, and you lose access to premium features but keep your documents and writing history.

Canceling before your first billing cycle ends

If you subscribed to a free trial and want to cancel before the trial ends, use the same process: go to Billing and click Cancel Subscription. Your access ends immediately when you cancel a trial, not at the end of the cycle. If you cancel a trial and later decide you want Grammarly again, you can resubscribe, though you will not receive another free trial period.

Some promotional offers include a discounted first month. If you cancel during that first month, you still lose access when the cycle ends, and you will not receive a refund for the discounted amount you paid. The same rule applies: you pay for the full cycle regardless of when you cancel within it.

If you cannot find the cancel button

Grammarly's interface occasionally changes, and the button location may differ slightly depending on your account type or region. If you cannot locate the Cancel Subscription button on the Billing page, try logging out and back in, or try accessing Grammarly from a different web browser. Clear your browser cache if the page does not load correctly.

If the button still does not appear, contact Grammarly support through the Help section in your account settings. You can also email support@grammarly.com with your account email address and a description of the problem. Response times vary, but Grammarly typically replies within one to two business days. Save any error messages or screenshots showing what you see on the Billing page, as these help support investigate faster.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-cycle?

No. Grammarly does not refund unused portions of your billing cycle. Your access continues until the end of the cycle you already paid for, but you will not receive money back for the days remaining after cancellation.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?

Grammarly does not offer a pause feature. Your only options are to keep your subscription active or cancel it. If you cancel and later want to resubscribe, you can do so at any time by logging into your account and selecting a plan.

What if I cancel but still see charges on my credit card?

Check your cancellation confirmation email to see when your access ends. If charges appear after that date, log into your account and verify the subscription is canceled. If it shows as active, the cancellation did not go through. Contact Grammarly support with your confirmation email and the charge date, and they can investigate the charge.

Do I lose my documents and writing history when I cancel?

No. Your account, documents, and writing history remain in Grammarly after cancellation. You can still view and access them, but you cannot use premium features on them. If you resubscribe, all your previous work is still there.
