For me being a writer, Grammarly is something that has proved to be an assistance in helping me spot errors in writing quickly, but I also quit it soon, when it tried to change my diction by suggesting ways to construct a sentence, which I really don’t need or like. I believe something similar has happened to you causing you to say goodbye to Grammar and that’s why you are on my post on how you could cancel your Grammarly subscription, it’s easy.
Grammarly has now rolled out a few different plans to cater to the varying user types and demands, before we proceed to cancel, check quickly which paid plan of Grammarly you have subscribed to and if you can’t, don’t worry, I have quick steps explained below.

Can I Cancel Grammarly Subscription Anytime?
Yes, Grammarly won’t hold your wrist while you leave, but there are definitely some important points that you should keep in mind;
- After you have canceled, you’ll still have access to the premium features until the end of your billing cycle.Â
- When your current billing cycle ends, then only your account will be converted to Grammarly Free, and all future payments will be stopped. Your data will be safe, and you can easily access all of your documents.Â
- Make sure that you are canceling the subscription before the next renewal date to avoid being charged for the upcoming billing period. In case you miss this timing, automatic renewal will charge you for the next period, and your cancellation will then only take effect at the end of that new period.
For Apple;
- In case you have signed up for a free or discounted trial Grammarly subscription and don’t want to renew it, cancel it at least 24 hours before your free trial ends.
- Canceling subscriptions is slightly different in some countries and regions like Germany, Israel, South Africa, and Türkiye. For full instructions, check Apple store guidelines.
