Eligibility to cancel your Grammarly subscription

Grammarly offers monthly and annual subscriptions for its Premium and Business plans. You're allowed to cancel at any time, and you have premium access until the billing period ends. To stop future charges, cancellation must be completed before the next billing cycle begins.¹

If you purchased Grammarly through the website, you must cancel via the web. If you subscribed via Apple or Google Play, cancellation must be handled through those platforms directly.²

Uninstalling the Grammarly app or disabling it in your browser does not cancel the subscription. You must use the correct cancellation method based on where you signed up.

Since Grammarly is available on multiple platforms, you will need to cancel your subscription on the platform (PC, Android, iOS) you purchased it. Here's a quick Grammarly subscription guide for different platforms:

If your team or business subscribed through Grammarly's website:

1. Go to grammarly.com and sign in.

3. Select "Subscription" from the account dashboard.
4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Cancel Subscription".

Refund policy for Grammarly subscriptions

Grammarly does not guarantee refunds as part of its standard terms. However, refund requests may be approved under limited circumstances, such as technical issues or duplicate charges. To request a refund, contact Grammarly's customer support team directly through their help centre or support email. Submit a ticket explaining the issue and include relevant details (e.g. billing errors, screenshots).¹

Refunds are typically not issued if more than 10 days have passed since purchase on annual plans. If you subscribed via Apple or Google Play, you'll need to request a refund through those respective platforms.⁵

What happens after cancelling your Grammarly subscription?

Once you cancel Grammarly, your Premium or Business features remain active until the end of the current billing cycle. After expiry, your account automatically reverts to the free version¹ with limited Grammarly writing tools.

Saved documents and writing history will remain accessible, but advanced features (like tone detection, vocabulary suggestions, and citation tools) will be removed.

For Grammarly Business accounts, cancellation affects all team members. Once cancelled, team members lose access unless reassigned to another plan admin. If you're managing licences for multiple employees, be sure to transfer users or data before expiry.

It's worth noting that if you cancel Grammarly during a free trial period, you won't be charged for the upcoming billing cycle. If you've already been charged for a billing period and then cancelled, you'll retain access to premium features until the end of that billing cycle.⁴

FAQ - Cancel Grammarly Subscription

Here are some of the top questions:

Does Grammarly have a free plan?

Yes, Grammarly offers a completely free plan alongside its paid subscriptions. With the free version, you get core writing assistance such as grammar, spelling, and punctuation checks, plus basic clarity suggestions and tone detection, enough for everyday writing needs like emails, social media posts, or casual documents.

Can I still use Grammarly after cancelling my subscription?

Yes. You'll be downgraded to the free version once your current Premium term expires. Once your Premium plan ends, your account will automatically switch to the free version. You'll still have access to basic Grammarly writing tools like grammar, spelling, and punctuation checks.

Can I remove my payment method from Grammarly?

You can remove or change your payment method on Grammarly, but only after cancelling your active subscription. Grammarly requires a valid payment method while your subscription is active, so you won't be able to delete it during that time. Once your subscription is cancelled and the billing period ends, you can go to your account settings and update or remove your payment information.
