How to Cancel Blinkist (2026 guide)

Q: Will I get a refund if I cancel Blinkist?

Blinkist typically doesn't offer refunds for unused portions of your subscription. However, you'll keep access until your current billing period ends, so you're not losing paid time.

Q: Can I cancel Blinkist online?

Yes, most Blinkist users can cancel directly through their account settings on the website or mobile app. If you subscribed through an app store, you'll need to cancel there instead.

Q: What happens after I cancel Blinkist?

You'll keep full premium access until your current billing cycle ends. After that, your account automatically switches to Blinkist's free tier with limited daily content.

Q: Why can't I find the cancel button in my Blinkist account?

If there's no cancel option in your Blinkist account settings, you likely subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play Store and need to cancel your subscription there instead.

Q: Does deleting the Blinkist app cancel my subscription?

No, removing the app from your device doesn't cancel your subscription. You'll continue being charged until you formally cancel through your account settings or app store subscriptions.

Q: Can I cancel Blinkist from my phone?

Yes, you can cancel through the Blinkist mobile app by going to account settings and subscription management. Alternatively, cancel through your phone's app store if that's where you subscribed.

Q: How do I check if my Blinkist subscription is fully cancelled?

Check your account settings to see if your subscription status shows as cancelled, and look for a confirmation email from Blinkist. Your next billing date should also be removed.

There are a few different ways to cancel Blinkist, and the right one depends on how you signed up. This guide covers cancellation through the Blinkist website, app stores, and third-party billing.
