To cancel your Audible subscription, sign in at Audible.com, select your name, choose Membership details, select Cancel membership, then select Confirm cancellation.
That works when Audible bills you directly; this guide also covers Apple App Store and Google Play billing, pausing instead, and what happens to your credits and books.
How to cancel my Audible subscription (desktop website)
Use a computer browser and the account that holds the active membership. You can sign in with your Amazon account details.
- Go to Audible.com and sign in.
- Select your name in the top navigation.
- Select Membership details.
- Select the Cancel membership link.
- Work through any offers or reason prompts Audible shows on the way.
- Select Confirm cancellation.
Audible then sends a confirmation email. Your benefits stay active until the end of the current billing cycle.
Which cancellation method should you use?
The right route depends on who bills you, not on which device you listen on.
| How you pay | Where to cancel | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Audible charges your card directly | Audible.com, Membership details | Audible holds the subscription |
| Charge comes from Apple | iPhone or iPad Settings, Subscriptions | Apple bills it, so the Audible site cannot cancel it |
| Charge comes from Google Play | Google Play Store, Payments & subscriptions | Google bills it, so the Audible site cannot cancel it |
| You want to keep credits for later | Pause membership on Audible.com or in the app | Payments stop for 30 to 90 days without losing credits |
| None of the above works | Audible Contact us page | Customer service can find the account that bills you |
Why is cancelling Audible so confusing?
Three things trip most people up: billing partners, more than one account, and the app itself.
| Source of confusion | What is going on |
|---|---|
| No cancel button in the app | Deleting or uninstalling the Audible app does not cancel a membership |
| Cancel link missing on Audible.com | The membership is billed by Apple or Google, or you are signed in to a different account |
| Amazon sign-in | Audible accounts use Amazon credentials, so a second Amazon login can hold a separate membership |
| Offers before the final button | Audible shows pause and plan-switch options before you confirm |

What happens to your credits, books and billing
Titles you bought with a credit or a card stay in your Library, and you can download them as often as you like after you cancel.
Unused membership credits are forfeited at the end of your final billing cycle. Credits issued through the App Store or Google Play do not expire and stay on the account.
Titles from the included catalog lock and show a lock icon. They unlock again if you rejoin.
Spend every remaining credit and download the audiobooks you want before you confirm the cancellation. Benefits run until the end of the billing cycle you already paid for, but leftover credits vanish when it ends.
How to confirm your Audible membership is cancelled
- Look for the cancellation confirmation email from Audible.
- Sign in to Audible.com, select your name and open Membership details.
- Check that the page no longer shows a next billing date.
- For Apple or Google billing, open Subscriptions again; if Cancel Subscription is gone, it will not renew.
