Quick answer

Where you cancel depends entirely on where you subscribed. If you paid on the Quizlet website, go to quizlet.com/settings, open Manage subscription and select Cancel auto-renewal. If you subscribed inside the iPhone or Android app, that same screen only shows Cancel on App Store — Quizlet cannot cancel it, and you have to finish the job in Apple or Google's settings. Either way, cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date. You keep Plus until the term ends; Quizlet does not refund the unused part.

Step-by-step instructions

1

Work out who is actually charging you

Quizlet sells the same subscription through three checkouts — its own website, Apple's App Store, and Google Play — and only the one that took your money can stop it. The quickest way to tell without guessing: sign in at quizlet.com/settings, scroll to the Payment section and select View next to Payment history. Quizlet lists receipts from the last 24 months there. If your charges are in that list, Quizlet bills you. If it is empty, Apple or Google does, and the rest of this guide sends you to them.

Open Settings in the Quizlet app

On the phone, tap your profile picture and choose Your Settings. The very first block on that screen is headed Manage subscription and shows the plan you are on — Quizlet Plus or Quizlet Plus Unlimited — as a tappable row. On the web the same thing lives at quizlet.com/settings, under your profile picture.

Open Manage subscription and read which button you get

Tap the plan row. This screen is the fork in the road: if Quizlet bills you it shows Cancel auto-renewal and you can finish here. If Apple bills you it shows Cancel on App Store instead — a link out, not a cancel button. The card also prints your plan, its term, and the date the next charge lands.

Quizlet-billed: select Cancel auto-renewal

Select Cancel auto-renewal, then answer the short set of cancellation questions. On the phone the flow ends with a Yes, finish canceling confirmation — you are not done until you tap it. If Manage subscription never appears at all, Quizlet's help centre reads that as a sign your subscription is not set to renew, or that you bought it somewhere else.

5

Apple-billed: cancel in iOS Settings, not in Quizlet

Open the iPhone or iPad Settings app, tap your name at the top, then Subscriptions, then Quizlet, then Cancel Subscription. Apple emails you a confirmation once it goes through. Tapping Cancel on App Store inside Quizlet lands you in the same place — it is a shortcut to Apple, not a cancellation.

6

Google-billed: cancel in the Play Store

Go to play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions, or open the Play Store app, tap your profile picture, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions. Pick Quizlet and select Cancel subscription. Google sends the confirmation email. As with Apple, Quizlet cannot cancel a Play-billed subscription on your behalf.

7

Cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date

Quizlet repeats this deadline in every cancellation article, and its Terms of Service put it as cancelling "at least 1 day prior to the expiration of the Subscription term." Cancel inside that 24-hour window and the next charge still goes through. The renewal date is printed on the Manage subscription card, so you never have to guess it.

8

Verify the renewal date turned into an expiration date

Go back to quizlet.com/settings. Quizlet shows a renewal date while auto-renew is on and an expiration date once it is off — that swap is your confirmation the cancellation registered. On the Apple side the equivalent check is the Subscriptions list showing Expires rather than Renews. Keep the confirmation email, and glance at your statement on the old renewal date.

If this applies to you

If you are still inside the 7-day trial, the charge is a whole year

The free trial attaches to the annual plans, and it converts to a full year in a single charge — $35.99 for Quizlet Plus or $44.99 for Quizlet Plus Unlimited — not to a month you could shrug off. Monthly plans are not eligible for the trial at all. The 24-hour rule applies to the trial conversion exactly as it does to a renewal, so set a reminder for day five rather than day seven.

10
If this applies to you

If Quizlet is not in your Apple Subscriptions list

An empty list almost always means one of two things: Apple is not the one billing you, so the subscription lives on quizlet.com instead, or you are signed in under a different Apple Account from the one that bought it. Check both before assuming the charge is fraudulent. Apple's own rule of thumb is that a missing Cancel Subscription button means it is already cancelled — an Expires date instead of Renews confirms it.

If this applies to you

If you have already been charged

Quizlet's Terms of Service state that subscriptions bought directly from Quizlet are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise. There is still a request form worth using: Contact us at quizlet.com/support, pick your role, choose Billing, then Request a refund. Quizlet says it "may issue your refund depending on the details of your purchase," and approved refunds take 5 to 10 business days to land. If Apple or Google took the payment, they own the refund decision, not Quizlet — use Apple's Report a Problem or Google Play's refund form.

12
If this applies to you

Family Plan, teacher, and group subscriptions behave differently

Family Plans are annual, carry no free trial, and auto-renew like any other plan, so they need cancelling the same way. Quizlet Plus for teachers is annual and also auto-renews. Group and school orders are the exception: each seat is a one-year subscription that does not renew automatically, so there is nothing to cancel — it simply lapses on its own anniversary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not if you cancelled more than 24 hours before the renewal date. Quizlet states plainly that "you will not be charged if you cancel at least 24 hours prior to your trial conversion or subscription renewal date." Your Plus features stay switched on until the term you already paid for runs out, then the account drops to the free version. The one thing worth doing is checking your statement on the old renewal date, especially if you cancelled through Apple or Google, since Quizlet never sees that transaction and cannot warn you about it.

Officially, no. Quizlet's Terms of Service say subscriptions purchased directly through Quizlet are non-refundable except where required by law, and there is no prorating — cancelling mid-term buys you access to the end of the term, not money back. In practice Quizlet still publishes a refund request form, at quizlet.com/support under Billing, and reviews requests case by case; approved refunds take 5 to 10 business days. If you paid through the App Store or Play Store, the decision is Apple's or Google's, since they took the payment. EU and UK subscribers have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal on new subscriptions that overrides the non-refundable wording.

They all stay. Quizlet keeps your sets, folders, and classes on the free account, and you can still see uploaded images and play back recorded audio. Class Progress data comes back if you subscribe again later. The one real loss is subtle: if you edit a set you built while subscribed, any premium features you had added to a term or definition are stripped from whatever you modify. So finish or export anything you care about before you start editing sets on the free tier.

You cancel with them, not with Quizlet — the in-app Manage subscription screen only links out. On iPhone or iPad: Settings, your name, Subscriptions, Quizlet, Cancel Subscription. On Android: play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions, or the Play Store app under Payments & subscriptions. Apple or Google emails the confirmation, and access continues to the end of the period you already paid for. Quizlet support cannot cancel these for you, so a support ticket is not a substitute for doing it yourself before the renewal date.

Yes, as long as you cancel more than 24 hours before the trial converts. The route is the same as a paid cancellation and depends on where you started the trial: Settings then Manage subscription then Cancel auto-renewal on the website, or Apple and Google's own subscription screens if you signed up in an app. Be aware of what you are avoiding — the trial only exists on the annual plans, so conversion charges a full year at once, $35.99 or $44.99, rather than a single month.

Yes to both. Cancelling only ends the upgrade; the account and everything in it survives, so you can resubscribe whenever you need it — before finals rather than all year, for instance — and pick up where you left off, with Class Progress restored. Worth knowing before you resubscribe: Quizlet reserves the right to change prices, and its terms say a change only takes effect at your next renewal, with the right to reject it by cancelling first. Check the current rate on the upgrade page rather than assuming your old one still applies.
