How to Cancel Grammarly Premium

Updated 2026-05-03 · 2 min read

Cancel Grammarly Premium from the account portal before the annual charge renews. The browser extension keeps working on the free plan. Step-by-step for web, iOS, and Android.

Quick answer

Sign in at account.grammarly.com/subscription and click Cancel subscription. If you subscribed through Apple or Google, cancel through those platforms instead. After canceling, the extension keeps working with Grammarly's free grammar checks.

Overview

The annual plan is the default, and Grammarly's renewal reminder arrives by email shortly before the charge. If that email nudged you here, the cancel is at account.grammarly.com/subscription and takes about two minutes. The extension stays installed and functional on the free plan afterward.

TL;DR

  • Cancel at account.grammarly.com/subscription
  • Apple and Google subscribers cancel through those platforms
  • Free plan: basic grammar and spelling checks in the browser extension
  • Premium features lost: tone adjustments, plagiarism detection, advanced suggestions
  • No partial refunds on annual plans after the billing date
