How to Cancel Spotify

• Save Money: Many users cancel to cut expenses amid rising costs.
• Not Using Amazon Prime Music Benefit: Some have access to Amazon Music through Prime and see no need for an extra subscription.
• Free Version Available: Users may opt for the free Spotify plan with ads and limited skips if they only need background music.
• Reduced-Price Alternatives: Competitors like Apple Music offer competitive or discounted pricing, making Spotify less attractive.
• Forgetting Subscriptions: Users often forget about free trials leading to unwanted charges and cancel afterward.
• Repetitive Music Experience: Feeling of listening to the same songs repeatedly despite a large library.
• Frustration with "Made For You" Playlists: Playlists perceived as repetitive and dominant, lacking variety.
• Algorithm Issues: Perception of recommendations driven more by advertisements and promotions than user preference.
• Price Increases: Subscription cost hikes leading to dissatisfaction, especially when paired with controversial CEO statements.
• Desire for Algorithm Changes: Users want improvements in Spotify's playlist algorithms before returning.
• Manual Playlist Preference: Some users prefer manual playlist creation due to distrust in curated ones.
• Repeated Recommendations of Skipped Songs: Spotify's system sometimes repeats songs users have hidden or skipped.

• Spotify account login credentials (email/username and password) for accessing your account page.
• Access to your account page on spotify.com via a web browser (not the apps).
• Your plan type (e.g., Individual, Duo, Family, Student) to identify what is being cancelled.
• Knowledge of whether your subscription is billed through Spotify directly or through a partner (like a mobile/internet provider or Apple/iTunes).
• If billed through a partner company (e.g., a mobile provider or bundle), contact details for that provider or access to their customer account portal.
• If billed through Apple/iTunes:
  • Apple ID credentials and access to the Apple device or iTunes account used for the purchase.
  • Ability to find the subscription within Apple account settings or App Store/Apple ID Subscriptions section.
• If you are a plan member (not manager) for Family or Duo, you may need to contact your plan manager rather than cancel yourself.
• Access to the email inbox associated with your Spotify account (helpful if needing account recovery or confirmation emails).

The cancellation process typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. However, the actual time may vary depending on your account settings and whether you need to contact customer service. Most cancellations are processed immediately, but some may take up to 24 hours to take effect.

After canceling your Spotify subscription, you'll typically have access to the service until the end of your current billing period. You won't be charged for the next billing cycle, and your account will be deactivated once the current period ends. Make sure to download any important data before cancellation.

Yes, you can usually reactivate your Spotify account by logging back into your account and resubscribing. However, you may need to go through the sign-up process again and provide payment information. Some services may offer special reactivation deals for returning customers.
