Find out why you should cancel your Spotify Free or Spotify Premium account, and how to do it!
PS. Cancelling your free account isn’t as easy as you’d think! But cancel it, you must…
Why Cancel Your Spotify Free / Premium Account?
Spotify has long been the giant of music streaming services, but there will come a time when you want to cancel your Spotify Free or Spotify Premium account.
Most notably, Spotify is now being cancelled because they chose to allow Joe Rogan to continue spreading misinformation on their platform.
But even if you don’t care about Joe Rogan and fake news, Spotify has been slacking against the competition, namely Apple Music and Amazon :
- its Premium account still does not offer lossless quality
- its Premium account still does not offer spatial audio
- Spotify still does not support 16-bit CD-quality audio
Spotify has rested on their laurels for way too long, and you – the customer- have the option of cancelling your free or premium account to show your displeasure and hopefully wake them up from their slumber…
Even if you are using a free ad-supported Spotify account, you should still cancel it. Your cancellation matters, because Spotify relies on user base numbers to hype up their popularity to please shareholders and negotiate with artists, record labels, etc.

How To Cancel Your Spotify Premium Account?
Here is the official way to cancel your Spotify Premium account.
- Log into spotify.com/account.
- Under Your plan, click CHANGE PLAN.

However, that may be outdated, so here is an example by Luke Filipowicz from iMore.
- Log into spotify.com/account.
- Go to Subscription.
- Tap on View Details.
- Under the Update Details button, click on the “cancel your subscription” option.
Your Premium account will stay active until your next billing date, then your account switches to free. Please go to the next section to completely remove your Spotify free account.
Note : Due to a tremendous number of people requesting to cancel their accounts, Spotify may tell you that you are not allowed to cancel at the moment.
If that happens, simply remove your credit card in your Spotify profile settings. This will prevent them from charging your credit card, and extending your Premium subscription.
