App Store Subscriptions if mobile

Many Pandora users subscribe through mobile app stores rather than directly. If you signed up through your phone, you won't see a cancel option in your Pandora account — you'll need to cancel through the App Store or Google Play instead.

Cancel Pandora: Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps to cancel your Pandora subscription directly. If you're billed through a third party, see the alternative methods section.

01

Log in to your Pandora account

Visit pandora.com and sign in with your email and password. Make sure you're using the same account that has the paid subscription.

02

Go to your account settings

Click your profile icon in the top right corner, then select Settings from the dropdown menu.

03

Navigate to subscription settings

Look for the Subscription or Premium tab in your settings. This shows your current plan and billing information.

04

Cancel your subscription

Find and click the Cancel Subscription button. Pandora may ask for feedback about why you're cancelling before confirming.

05

Confirm cancellation

Review the cancellation details and confirm your choice. You should receive an email confirmation, and your premium features will continue until your current billing period ends.

Pandora-specific things to know

A few things that might affect your Pandora cancellation process.

Your stations and thumbs stay saved
Even after cancelling Premium, your personalized stations, thumbs up/down ratings, and music profile remain intact if you continue using the free tier.
Family plans cancel for everyone
If you're the primary account holder on a Pandora Family plan, cancelling will end premium access for all family members on the plan.
SiriusXM subscribers may have bundled access
Some SiriusXM plans include Pandora Premium. If you have SiriusXM, check whether your Pandora access is bundled before cancelling separately.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.

1. Check who's actually billing you

Look at your credit card or bank statement to see if you're being charged by Pandora, Apple, Google, or another company. You'll need to cancel through whoever is charging you.

2. Premium access continues until period ends

After cancelling, you'll keep your premium features until your current billing cycle ends. Then you'll automatically switch to the free ad-supported tier.

3. Deleting the app doesn't cancel

Removing the Pandora app from your phone doesn't cancel your subscription. You'll continue being charged until you properly cancel through your account or app store.

Other options to consider

If you're cancelling due to cost or features, you might be able to downgrade or adjust your plan instead.

Downgrade your Pandora plan

Pandora offers multiple subscription tiers, so you might find a cheaper option that still meets your needs.

  • Pandora Free - Ad-supported radio with limited skips

  • Pandora Plus - Ad-free radio with unlimited skips and replays

  • Pandora Premium - On-demand music, playlists, and offline downloads

Switch Your Billing Cycle

Pandora offers both monthly and annual billing options, with the annual plan typically offering savings.

Annual plans usually save you about 2 months compared to paying monthly

Share Your Plan

Pandora Family allows up to 6 accounts for one monthly price, which can be more cost-effective than individual Premium subscriptions.

Check for Bundles

Pandora Premium is sometimes included in wireless carrier plans or bundled with other services like SiriusXM.

  • Select Verizon Unlimited plans include Pandora Premium

  • Some SiriusXM subscriptions include Pandora access

  • Certain T-Mobile plans offer music streaming perks

Cancel Pandora through a third party

If you can't cancel through your Pandora account, your subscription might be billed through one of these providers instead.

Apple App Store

iPhone and iPad users who subscribed through the Pandora app need to cancel through their Apple ID subscription settings.
