How to Cancel WHOOP in 2026
To cancel WHOOP, sign in at app.whoop.com (or the WHOOP app), open the Membership page from your profile menu, and select Cancel Membership. Decline the pause and discount offers, then confirm. Cancel before your renewal date, because WHOOP does not issue prorated refunds, but your membership stays active until the end of the term you already paid for.
Short answer: Cancel on the Membership page at app.whoop.com. If you did not buy directly from WHOOP (a bundle, a retailer, or an app-store purchase), you cancel through that channel instead. Keep the confirmation email.

The detail that bites: Cancelling stops the next charge but does not refund the term you are in. WHOOP states it "will not provide any prorated refund of any portion of the Membership Fee paid for the then-current Membership term." So cancel before your renewal date, not the day after it charges. Give yourself a 24 to 48 hour buffer.
Where is the WHOOP cancel button, really?
It is on the Membership page inside your account, not on a settings screen you would guess first. Sign in at app.whoop.com or open the WHOOP app, tap your profile icon, go to Membership (sometimes shown under Account or Membership and Billing), and look for Cancel Membership. WHOOP confirms members can cancel "through the Membership page at app.whoop.com." If you cannot find it there, that usually means you did not buy directly from WHOOP, which changes where you cancel. More on that below.
How do I cancel WHOOP step by step?
This is the direct-from-WHOOP path, which covers most members. Have your login ready.
- Go to app.whoop.com and sign in, or open the WHOOP app on your phone.
- Tap your profile icon in the top corner, then open Account or Membership.
- Find the Membership section and select Cancel Membership.
- WHOOP will try to keep you. Expect screens offering a pause, a discount, or a list of features you would lose. Decline each one and keep going. Look for a link like Continue to Cancel or I still want to cancel.
- Finish the short cancellation survey and confirm.
- Watch for the confirmation email. If it does not arrive in a few minutes, you may not be fully cancelled. Screenshot the final confirmation screen too.
- Check the app to confirm your membership end date, and check your card statement after the renewal date to confirm no new charge landed.
What if I bought WHOOP through a bundle or an app store?
This is the trap. WHOOP's terms say if you "did not purchase your subscription directly from WHOOP," you have to cancel "through the party or method through which you purchased it." Most people bought directly, but not everyone. If your Membership page has no cancel option, the charge is running somewhere else.
- Apple / App Store billing: On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name at the top, tap Subscriptions, select WHOOP, then Cancel Subscription. You can also do this at the App Store under your account.
- Google Play billing: Open the Google Play Store app, tap your profile, tap Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions, select WHOOP, and tap Cancel subscription.
- Bundle, gift, employer, or retailer plan: Cancel through whoever bills you. Cancelling inside the WHOOP app will not stop a charge that Apple, Google, or a third party controls.
- Not sure who bills you? Look at your card or PayPal statement. If the charge reads "Apple.com/bill" or "Google," that is your channel. If it reads WHOOP, cancel at app.whoop.com.
Do I keep WHOOP access until the end of the period?
Yes. WHOOP terminates the membership "as of the expiration of your then-current term," and you can "continue to use your Membership until the end of your then-current term." So cancelling now does not cut you off today. It stops the renewal. Your data and stats stay usable until the paid period runs out, then the app stops delivering new insights. The physical WHOOP strap is yours to keep either way.
Which WHOOP cancellation method should I use?
| Method | Works? | Gives proof? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| app.whoop.com (Membership page) | Yes | Yes | The main path for direct members. Get the email. |
| WHOOP mobile app | Yes | Yes | Same Membership page, on your phone. |
| App Store / Google Play | Only if billed there | Yes | Required if you subscribed through the app store. |
| Email support@whoop.com | Sometimes | Yes | Fallback if the cancel button is missing. |
| Karen | Yes | Yes | Karen finds who bills you, cancels, and chases written confirmation. Outcome is not guaranteed. |
Can I get a refund after I cancel WHOOP?
Usually not for the current term. WHOOP does not prorate, and it treats Membership Fees as non-refundable once the term is running. There is one real refund window: if you are within 30 days of receiving your WHOOP device, you can cancel and return the device for a full refund of the Initial Membership Fee, paid to your original payment method, less return shipping, which you cover. Outside that window, cancelling only stops the next charge.
- Check the date you received the device. If it is under 30 days, you may qualify for the return refund.
- Start the return through WHOOP support or the returns flow, and keep the tracking.
- If you were charged after a confirmed cancellation, that is a billing error, not a change of mind, and you have stronger footing to dispute it.
What if WHOOP keeps charging me or the cancel button is missing?
You have options beyond the app.
- Email support@whoop.com in writing. State that you are cancelling, include your account email, and ask for written confirmation and your end date.
- Confirm the billing channel. If Apple or Google is billing you, cancel there. WHOOP cannot stop an app-store charge.
- Dispute the charge with your card issuer. If you were billed after a valid cancellation, you can dispute the credit card charge. Under the federal Fair Credit Billing Act you generally have 60 days from the statement showing the error to dispute a credit card billing error in writing.
- Do not just block the card and walk away. Cancel properly first, or the renewal can keep trying and the balance can follow you.
What are my rights on auto-renewal and recurring charges?
WHOOP memberships auto-renew until you cancel. Around 30 states have automatic-renewal laws, and some require a clear cancellation path and notice before renewal. The federal FTC "click to cancel" rule was vacated by a court in July 2025, so it is not currently in force, but state auto-renewal laws and the Fair Credit Billing Act still protect you. None of this is legal advice. It is the factual lay of the land. Verify current terms on WHOOP's site, because terms change.
How much does it cost to cancel WHOOP?
Cancelling itself is free. What you lose is the rest of a prepaid term you cannot get refunded. If you are on a monthly plan, you simply stop after the current month. If you prepaid an annual or 24-month plan, you keep access through that term but do not get money back for the unused months. For scale, WHOOP membership commonly runs around $25 to $40 a month or roughly $199 a year depending on your plan. Illustrative example. Results vary and are not guaranteed. Confirm your own price in the app.
Common questions
Where do I cancel my WHOOP membership?
On the Membership page at app.whoop.com or in the WHOOP app: tap your profile, open Membership, and select Cancel Membership. If you subscribed through the App Store, Google Play, or a bundle, cancel through that channel instead.
Do I get a refund when I cancel WHOOP?
Not for the current term. WHOOP does not give prorated refunds. The exception is returning your device within 30 days of receiving it for a full refund of the Initial Membership Fee, less return shipping.
Do I keep WHOOP access after I cancel?
Yes. Your membership stays active until the end of the term you already paid for, then it does not renew. The strap is yours to keep.
Can I pause my WHOOP membership instead of cancelling?
Yes. WHOOP offers a membership pause for a limited stretch, often up to about three months, which stops billing temporarily and keeps your account. Billing resumes when the pause ends, so it is not the same as cancelling.
Why is there no cancel button in my WHOOP account?
That usually means you did not buy directly from WHOOP. Check your card statement. If it reads Apple or Google, cancel in your App Store or Google Play subscriptions. If it reads WHOOP, cancel at app.whoop.com or email support@whoop.com.
When should I cancel WHOOP to avoid the next charge?
Cancel before your renewal date, ideally 24 to 48 hours ahead. Cancelling after the renewal charges does not trigger a refund, because WHOOP does not prorate the current term.

WHOOP buries the cancel button on the Membership page, pushes a pause offer, and refuses to prorate the term you already paid. Karen finds who actually bills you, cancels the renewal, and chases the confirmation in writing so it sticks.
Put Karen on it.
