How to cancel ChatGPT Plus (2026)

Verified steps for web and app, the refund policy, the trap to avoid, and a free script that gets you through.

Where to cancel (website)

On chatgpt.com, click your profile (bottom-left) > Settings > Account > Manage subscription > Cancel plan, then confirm.

If you subscribed in an app

If you subscribed on iPhone, Apple bills you: Settings > [name] > Subscriptions > ChatGPT > Cancel. On Android: Play Store > profile > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions > ChatGPT > Cancel.

Refund policy

Subscription fees are generally non-refundable. OpenAI refunds accidental purchases within 14 days, and EU/UK/Turkey residents have a 14-day prorated withdrawal right.

Watch out

The #1 trap: Cancel in the SAME place you subscribed. If you signed up via the iOS or Android app, cancelling on chatgpt.com won't stop the charge. Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal.

Their retention trick

No specific retention discount is documented in the OpenAI cancel flow.
