How to cancel Spotify Premium?
Spotify is a great platform to use if you want to listen to music without having any ads. But of course, this comes with a price, and that price can be quite high for some people. If you consider going to a different platform, like Apple Music, where the Premium option is more affordable you need to know how to cancel your Spotify Premium account.
Spotify has also increased it prices, making it less accessible for a lot of people. These are the current prices in the USA in 2025:
- Premium Individual plan: $11.99 per month
- Premium Duo (which is for two persons): $16.99 per month
- Premium Family (which is for maximum 6 people): $19.99 per month
- Premium Student: $5.99 per month
All these prices have been recently changed because of the increase in production costs and licenses for Spotify.
This is not the first time Spotify has increased its prices. In July last year, Spotify has already increased its student subscription plan by $1. It is understandable that you are frustrated to see that the prices keep rising, so here is how you can cancel your Spotify subscription.

Can I cancel Spotify if I subscribed through a third party?
In some cases, your subscription is connected with, for example, your phone or an internet provider. If you want to cancel your Spotify subscription via those platforms you would need to contact them to cancel it. Apple can also be a third-party provider which you can have if you have an iPhone or any other Apple device. You can go to your settings, click on your iCloud profile and see all your subscription which you pay for via Apple. If Spotify is located there, you can cancel it via that way.
If you still have trouble canceling your Spotify subscription, you can always fill out a form that will go directly to Spotify. This way, you can get in contact with them via email or send a physical mail explaining your issue. They will handle the rest for you and make sure to cancel your subscription.
What happens after canceling Spotify Premium?
When cancelling your Spotify Premium account, you are still able to listen to any type of music you want. Your saved playlists, liked music, and account setting will stay the same. However, you will have ads in between songs and offline listening is no longer an option. Also, if your next payment for any Premium plan was still a few days or even weeks away, you can use the Premium features until then.
For artists, you will still be able to see all your followers, plays on your tracks, and your monthly listeners.
What if I’m being charged but don’t have Premium?
If you’re being charged by Spotify but you are a 100% sure you don’t have a Premium account, there are a few reasons for this:
Multiple Spotify accounts
It can be the case that you have multiple Spotify accounts that you forget or maybe add on accident. For example, if you have made an account with a linked service like Apple or Facebook, it might have accidently created an account for you.
Luckily, you can check for multiple accounts using Spotify’s account recovery tool. This tool checks if you have other accounts that are linked to your email or number.
Unauthorized charges or fraud
If the above was not the case, it could be because of unauthorized activity with your payment method. In this case, contact Spotify and report the problem with as much detail as possible.
In the meantime, you can call your bank or credit card provider to ask for a chargeback. You should also block the payment method to prevent future charges.
