How to cancel your Paramount Plus subscription

You can only cancel a Paramount Plus subscription on the same platform you subscribed to. While the easiest method is through the Paramount Plus website, it only works if the subscription was made directly from there. If you have used third-party billing service providers such as Google Play, App Store, Roku or Amazon, you will need to use these same platforms to cancel the subscription.

This article explains how to cancel your Paramount Plus subscription.

Cancellation in independent accounts

On a standalone account, you must cancel the subscription directly through the company website. Here, the subscription method is the same for paid subscriptions and free trials. Once you cancel, access to the platform is not immediately lost. Subscription status remains active until the billing period ends. When it ends, you will no longer be able to access the services.

1. After logging in to the main account, choose the “Account” option.
   
2. Go to “Subscription and billing” and select “Subscription.”
3. Choose the “Cancel subscription” option.
   
4. Select “Yes, Cancel” to confirm the action.
   

Cancellation of Paramount Plus on Amazon

On the Paramount Plus support page, it is suggested that you contact Amazon account support to cancel the subscription. However, it is still possible to unsubscribe through the account panel.

Follow the steps below to cancel Paramount+ via Fire TV or Amazon:

1. In your Prime account, hover over the account name in the top right corner and then select “Account Settings.”
   
2. Go to the “Channels” option in the menu bar and search for “Paramount+.”
   
3. Select the “Cancel channel” option.
   
4. In some cases, you may receive a retention offer message. You can take it or if you still want to proceed with unsubscribing, select the “Cancel my subscription” option.
   
5. Once completed, you should receive a confirmation that the subscription is now cancelled.

Cancellation on iPad and iPhone

If you signed up through the App Store on iPad, iPhone, or Apple TV+, cancel the subscription through the App Store on the device. You can also cancel service using the iOS app. As mentioned, you must use the platform or app you originally subscribed to.

1. Open the App Store app on your device and then select “Account.”
   
2. Select “subscriptions.”
   
3. Choose “active” followed by “Paramount+.”
   
4. Select the “Cancel Subscription” or “Cancel Free Trial” option.
   

You will receive a note confirming when your subscription will expire. Alternatively, use the Settings app on your iOS device to cancel the subscription.

Canceling Paramount Plus using other devices

You can cancel your primary subscription depending on where you registered. The steps are similar on most other devices, so you can follow the steps below if your device is not listed.

Apple TV (4^th Generation or later)

1. Launch the “Settings” menu.
2. Choose “Users and Accounts.”
3. Select your account followed by “Subscriptions.”

Cancellation on Prime Video

Cancel free trial

When you’re a newly subscribed, you get a seven-day free trial. You will then be charged at the end of the trial period. The amount depends on the plan you choose. However, canceling the subscription before the trial ends means you won’t be charged. Canceling the free trial is similar to regular subscriptions. You just have to follow the indicated steps.

Paramount subscriptions can be canceled at any time. You will still be able to access the service until your billing cycle ends. In case you want to log in again, you can do so at any time by resubscribing.

Reasons why people unsubscribe from Paramount Plus

There are several reasons why you may want to cancel your subscriptions:

• Cost: Although the cost is less than some streaming services, the cumulative expense of handling multiple subscriptions becomes onerous at some point. To cut costs, you can choose to cancel some of your less-used subscriptions.
• Content Preference: There are different content options at Paramount, including exclusive series, TV shows, and movies. Sometimes it may seem like the content does not align with your preferences and interests. If the platform no longer offers the preferred quality or variety, canceling may be the best idea.
• Switch to other streaming services: Streaming is competitive and new platforms emerge from time to time. Paramount Plus subscriptions can be canceled to switch to another service with more features or content that matches trends. Recommendations and exclusive offers can inspire that change.
• Temporary break: This could be an opportunity to reduce screen time, digitally detox, or focus on other activities. Cancellation allows you to take a step back and perhaps come back later.

Frequent questions

How long does it take to unsubscribe?

Can I resubscribe after canceling?

If you change your mind after unsubscribing, there is the option to re-subscribe. Go to the website and go through the payment and billing process again.

What do I do if Paramount Plus is not available in my region?

If you’re in a country without access to Paramount Plus, you may need a VPN to bypass those geoblocks.

Will I be penalized for unsubscribing?

No. There are no penalties for canceling your Paramount Plus subscription. However, such cancellation must be made before further costs are charged to your card. In this case, you will not be able to recover the subscription amount.

Exit Paramount Plus with ease

Paramount Plus offers many different shows and is not as expensive as other platforms. However, it is not for everyone in terms of variety of shows, perks and services. Some people view Paramount as a “Star Trek Network” primarily because they can access all of the Star Trek shows on the platform. This is often not enough, leading people to cancel their subscriptions.
