How to Cancel Grammarly Premium (Grammarly Pro) in 2026

Self-service cancellation is fully online from the Subscription page and takes only a few clicks, with no phone call or email required. The minor friction is a two-step confirmation ("Continue"/"Yes, continue" then a mandatory cancellation-reason selection) and the fact that the link redirects you through a sign-in. The real trap is not difficulty but money: there is no proration or refund, and if you bought through Apple's App Store you cannot cancel inside Grammarly at all.

Why this is harder than it should be

Grammarly Premium is now officially "Grammarly Pro," and cancelling it is more annoying than hard. The cancel link lives at the very bottom of the Subscription page, gated behind a sign-in redirect, a "Continue" confirmation, and a mandatory "why are you leaving?" reason picker before the second Cancel button finally fires. The bigger sting is the money: Grammarly stops your next renewal but never refunds or prorates the term you already paid for, so cancelling mid-cycle still costs you the full period. Two extra landmines bite specifically here. If you subscribed through Apple's App Store, the Grammarly cancel button does nothing for your billing, you must cancel through Apple, and many people don't realize which one charged them. And because lots of users have both a free personal account and a paid work or school account, it's easy to "cancel" the wrong one and keep getting billed on the other.

Step-by-step

Verified June 25, 2026

01
Go to https://account.grammarly.com/admin/subscription and sign in with the email tied to your paid plan. The shorter link account.grammarly.com/subscription redirects to a sign-in screen before it loads.
Watch outIf you don't see a 'Cancel Subscription' button, you're almost certainly logged into the wrong Grammarly account. People with a personal and a work/school account routinely cancel the free one by mistake while the paid one keeps billing.
02
In the left sidebar open the Account tab, then go to Your account, then Subscription.
Watch outOn mobile the in-app menus may not show a cancel option at all. Grammarly's own guidance is to open account.grammarly.com in a browser to cancel.
03
Scroll to the bottom of the Subscription page and click 'Cancel Subscription'.
Watch outThe cancel link sits at the very bottom under your plan and billing details, below upgrade/keep-plan prompts. There is no cancel control on the main dashboard.
04
In the pop-up, click 'Continue' (some accounts show 'Yes, continue') to proceed.
Watch outThis is a confirmation interstitial designed to give you a moment of second-guessing; clicking it does not yet cancel anything.
05
Select a cancellation reason from the prompt, then click 'Cancel Subscription' a final time to confirm.
Watch outChoosing a reason is mandatory before the final button works. Cancellation is not complete until you click this second 'Cancel Subscription' and see a confirmation.
06
Confirm you received an on-screen and/or email confirmation that auto-renewal is off. Your paid features stay active until the end of the period you already paid for.
Watch outCancelling stops the next charge only; Grammarly does not refund or prorate the remaining time, so you are not 'owed' money back for the unused part of the current term.
07
If you originally subscribed through Apple, cancel at reportaproblem.apple.com / your Apple ID Subscriptions instead, because Apple controls that billing and Grammarly cannot stop it.
Watch outApp Store subscribers who only cancel inside Grammarly will keep getting charged by Apple. Refunds for App Store purchases also go through Apple, not Grammarly.

Refund policy

No money-back guarantee. Grammarly states refunds are issued "only if required by law." Cancelling stops the next renewal but does not refund or prorate the current term. Genuine billing errors are reviewed case by case via a support request. App Store purchases must be refunded through Apple.

Free trial trap

Free trials convert to a paid subscription automatically at the end of the trial using the payment method on file. Grammarly's help article does not state how many days before trial end you must cancel to avoid the charge, so cancel as early as possible; cancelling a trial converts the account to the free version immediately while preserving your documents.

What to do if they refuse to cancel

If Grammarly keeps charging you after you cancelled, first re-check that you cancelled on the SAME account that's being billed (Account tab should show no active paid plan and no upcoming renewal). For a wrong charge or a charge after a confirmed cancellation, file a support request at https://support.grammarly.com/hc/en-us/requests/new describing the dates and amounts; Grammarly says it reviews billing-error refunds case by case. Grammarly's standard stance is that refunds are issued "only if required by law," so don't expect a goodwill refund for simply changing your mind.\n\nIf you bought through Apple, request the refund at https://reportaproblem.apple.com, not from Grammarly. If you paid by card and Grammarly refuses a clearly unauthorized or post-cancellation charge, dispute it with your bank/card issuer as a chargeback and attach your cancellation confirmation email. You can also report deceptive billing to the FTC at https://reportfraud.ftc.gov. Residents of California, New York, and Vermont have auto-renewal consumer-protection laws that require easy cancellation and clear renewal disclosures; complaints can go to your State Attorney General (e.g., oag.ca.gov, ag.ny.gov, ago.vermont.gov) if Grammarly stonewalls.

Reader questions

Frequently asked questions

I subscribed through the Apple App Store. Why won't Grammarly let me cancel?

When you buy Grammarly Pro through Apple, Apple is the biller, not Grammarly, so Grammarly's own 'Cancel Subscription' button can't stop those charges. You have to cancel in your Apple ID Subscriptions settings, and any refund for an App Store purchase must be requested from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. Grammarly support cannot refund Apple-billed charges.

Will I get a refund or a prorated credit if I cancel partway through my plan?

No. Cancelling only turns off the next auto-renewal. You keep all paid features until the end of the period you already paid for, but Grammarly does not refund or prorate the unused portion. Grammarly's policy is that refunds are issued only if required by law, plus case-by-case review for genuine billing errors via a support request.

I cancelled but I'm still being charged. What happened?

The most common cause is cancelling on the wrong Grammarly account. Many people have a free personal account and a separate paid work/school account; if you cancel the free one, the paid one keeps renewing. Sign in to the account that matches the email on the charge, confirm there's no active plan or upcoming renewal on the Subscription page, and if a charge slipped through, file a billing-error request with support or dispute it with your card issuer.
