How to cancel Scribd

31/100 to cancel

Mostly Compliant, easier to leave than 241 of the 319 we've scored.

Tap a column for what it measures. How we score

Quick answer

Sign in at scribd.com/your-account, select Manage Subscription next to Plan details, then the Cancel subscription link below the Keep and Pause buttons, and follow the prompts to You've successfully canceled. A paid plan runs to the end of the billing period; a free trial ends the moment you cancel. Ebooks and audiobooks are Everand, a separate subscription billed by the same company: cancel it at everand.com/your-account. If Apple or Google bills you, cancel in their subscription settings.
