Cancelling Scribd isn't always straightforward — it depends on how you're being billed. This guide walks through every method.
Most Scribd users are billed directly and can cancel from their account settings. If you subscribed through an app store, you'll need to cancel through them instead.
Follow these steps to cancel your Scribd subscription. The process may vary slightly depending on your plan or how you signed up.
Go to scribd.com and log in with your email and password. Click the profile icon in the top right corner.
From the dropdown menu, select Account Settings. This will take you to your account management page.
Scroll down to the Subscription section. You'll see your current plan details and billing information here.
Click the Cancel Subscription button. Scribd may offer alternatives like pausing your account or switching to a different plan.
Complete any feedback survey and confirm your cancellation. You'll receive an email confirmation and retain access until your current billing period ends.
Scribd subscriptions can work differently depending on your plan or how you signed up. These tips cover common edge cases.
These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.
If you signed up through Apple, Google, or another app store, you won't see a cancel option in your Scribd account. You'll need to cancel through that provider instead.
You'll keep full Scribd access until your current billing period expires, even after cancelling. No partial refunds are given for unused time.
Removing the Scribd app from your phone doesn't cancel your subscription. You'll continue being charged until you properly cancel through your account or app store.
If cost is the issue, you might be able to pause your account or switch to a cheaper plan instead of cancelling completely.
If you can't cancel through your Scribd account, you may need to go through app stores. The right option depends on how you're being billed.
