How to Cancel Grammarly in 2026

To cancel Grammarly, sign in at account.grammarly.com, open the Subscription page, scroll to the very bottom, click Cancel Subscription, then click through the confirmation and reason prompt. If you subscribed through Apple or Google Play, cancel there instead, because Grammarly's own button won't stop that billing.

Short answer: The cancel button is buried at the bottom of the Subscription page on the website. Cancel at least a day before your renewal date. You keep Premium and Pro features until the end of the period you already paid for.

Where is the cancel button in Grammarly?

It's on the website, not in the writing app. Grammarly doesn't put a cancel option inside the browser extension, the desktop app, or the mobile keyboard. You have to log into your account on the web and find it at the bottom of one specific page. That's the part people miss.

Cancelling stops the automatic renewal. It does not delete your account, and it does not cut you off mid-cycle. You keep the paid features until the date your current term ends.

How do I cancel Grammarly on the website?

This is the direct method, for anyone who subscribed straight through Grammarly with a card or PayPal.

1. Go to account.grammarly.com and sign in. Use the exact account you pay with. Wrong email is the number one reason the cancel button doesn't show up.
2. Open the Account area, then click Subscription in the menu.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the Subscription page. The Cancel Subscription link sits below the plan details, not next to them.
4. Click Cancel Subscription.
5. Click Continue (some accounts show Yes, continue) in the popup.
6. Pick a reason for leaving when it asks. You can choose anything; it's just a survey.
7. Click Cancel Subscription one more time to confirm.

You should land on a screen or email confirming the plan ends on a specific date. If you don't get that, the cancellation didn't go through. Do it again.

How do I cancel Grammarly on my phone?

The mobile answer depends entirely on how you paid, so check this before you tap anything.

If you subscribed on the web: open a mobile browser, go to account.grammarly.com, and follow the same website steps above. The mobile keyboard app has no cancel button.

If you subscribed through the Apple App Store: Grammarly can't cancel that for you. Open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name at the top, tap Subscriptions, tap Grammarly, then tap Cancel Subscription. This is the gotcha that keeps charging people who "cancelled" on the website but were actually billed by Apple.

If you subscribed through Google Play: open the Google Play app, tap your profile icon, tap Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions, select Grammarly, and tap Cancel subscription. Confirm the prompts.

The billing gotcha: who actually charges you

Grammarly can only cancel the plans it bills directly. If your money runs through Apple or Google, their button in Grammarly's account page does nothing to your renewal. Not sure who charges you? Look at your card or PayPal statement. A line that reads "APPLE.COM/BILL" means cancel in the App Store. "GOOGLE" means cancel in Google Play. A charge that says "Grammarly" means the website method works.

Some people also get Grammarly bundled through a school, employer, or team admin. If that's you, there's no personal cancel button; the account admin controls it.

What's the deadline to avoid the next charge?

Cancel before your renewal date, and give yourself a buffer of at least 24 hours. Auto-renewal fires on the renewal date, and once it processes, you're into a new term. Your renewal date is shown on the Subscription page. If you're close to it, cancel now rather than "tomorrow."

Cancelling early doesn't shorten your access. You've already paid for the current term, so Grammarly lets you use it until it expires. There's no penalty for cancelling the same day you signed up, as long as you're inside any refund window.

Can I get a refund from Grammarly?

Grammarly's stated policy is that refunds are issued only where required by law, and it generally does not refund the unused part of a term. Annual plans are commonly described as refundable within a short window after the charge, but terms change, so confirm the current policy on Grammarly's refund page before you count on it.

If Apple billed you, the refund request goes to Apple through reportaproblem.apple.com, on Apple's timeline. If Google Play billed you, request it through Google Play. If a renewal just hit and you believe it was unfair, you can also dispute the charge with your bank.

Common questions

Does cancelling Grammarly delete my documents?

Cancelling ends the paid plan, not the account. Your account and documents typically stay, and you drop to the free tier. If you want the account gone entirely, that's a separate account-deletion step in settings.

Will I lose access to Premium features right away?

No. You keep Premium and Pro features until the end of the term you already paid for. Cancelling only turns off the next automatic renewal.

Why can't I find the Cancel Subscription button?

Usually because you're signed into the wrong account, or because Apple or Google bills you and the website has nothing to cancel. Double-check the email you pay with, and check your statement to see who actually charges you.

I cancelled but Grammarly charged me again. What now?

Check where the charge came from. If your statement says APPLE.COM/BILL or GOOGLE, your website cancellation never touched that billing; you have to cancel in the App Store or Google Play. If it says Grammarly and you have a cancellation confirmation, you can ask for a refund and, if that stalls, dispute the charge with your bank.

Is cancelling the same as pausing?

Grammarly's flow is a cancellation, which stops renewal at the end of the current term. It isn't a pause. If you resubscribe later, you start a fresh term at the current price.
