How To Cancel Your Netflix Subscription

Plenty of folks love the treasure trove of movies and shows that are available on Netflix, which is why the streaming platform is widely considered the industry leader in both the size of their catalog and the quality of their content. From big-name show hosts to original movies and classic television, Netflix has changed the game in terms of streamable content.

But a lot has changed in the last few years. Many other services have popped up since Netflix set the standard for streaming sites, with new services like Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, and Amazon Prime cutting into the total domination that Netflix used to have over the industry. These new streaming platforms boast comparable catalogs and each has specific shows and movies that are exclusively shown on their service.

Are you moving over to Disney+ because you are obsessed with the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Or are you getting everything you need from Amazon Prime and find yourself no longer using Netflix? Trying to scale back the monthly payments that really add up with all those different streaming sites?

Here is a step-by-step guide to canceling your Netflix subscription. It is usually quite straightforward and easy to cancel your Netflix subscription, but there are a few things to keep in mind, especially if you are signed up via a third party.

Cancel Your Netflix Subscription- The Easy Way

The quickest and simplest way to cancel your Netflix subscription is to go through the Netflix website on your computer. This will work in most cases, though it might require more steps if you have set up your Netflix subscription through a different platform.

Here is how to do it:

Go to netflix.com/cancelplan
Log in with the email and password that is associated with your account
Select ‘Finish Cancellation’

If you cancel your subscription this way, you will finish out the current billing period and Netflix will simply not automatically bill for the following month. This means you may still temporarily have access to Netflix if you cancel well before the end of your billing period. There are a few other factors to keep in mind:

You can check a box on this page that will keep informed about Netflix via email even after you cancel your subscription. When new movies and shows are added, or any deals and promotions are made available, you will be in the know.
You are able to downgrade your subscription plan from this page as well. There are numerous payment options and plans for Netflix, so if you want to pay less money per month on streaming costs but still think Netflix is worth it, think about transitioning to a plan with a smaller monthly payment. Here are the options available:

	Basic	Standard	Premium
Cost	$8.99	$13.99	$17.99
# of Screens for Viewing	1	2	4
Unlimited TV and Movies	yes	yes	yes
Watch on Laptop, Phone, Tablet, TV	yes	yes	yes
HD Available	no	yes	yes
Ultra HD Available	no	no	yes

Netflix will retain all of your information, including your various profiles, watchlists, preferences, and login info for ten months after you cancel your plan. If you find that you miss all the content that Netflix has to offer, this makes it easy to restart your account at a later time.

Other Ways To Cancel Your Netflix Subscription

Since Netflix is such a common and widely used app, there are a number of different ways to set up and manage your account. Whether it is from your TV or via your Apple or Android device, there will be some variance with how you will go about canceling your Netflix subscription.

Obviously, the first step here is to remember which site or service you set up your Netflix account through. It is common for cable or cell phone providers to offer packages with Netflix included, and you may have to cancel your subscription through this specific provider.

Otherwise, these will be the most common ways to cancel your Netflix subscription:
