Short answer: To cancel Quizlet Plus, turn off auto-renewal wherever you paid: in Quizlet’s Manage subscription settings if you paid on the website, or in your Apple or Google Play subscriptions if you paid through an app store. Quizlet says to cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date. The catch: deleting the app does not cancel anything, and refunds are reviewed case by case rather than guaranteed.
Knowing how to cancel Quizlet Plus mostly comes down to one question: who took your money? Quizlet sells Plus, Plus Unlimited and Plus for teachers directly on its website, but many students subscribe inside the iPhone or Android app, where Apple or Google handles billing and cancellation. This guide shows each route using Quizlet’s own help center, explains what you keep when your plan ends, and covers refunds, free trials and how to delete your Quizlet account entirely.

Which Quizlet Plan Do You Have?
Quizlet’s help center lists these paid options. They all cancel the same way, based on where you paid.
- Quizlet Plus: premium study tools with monthly usage limits. Billed monthly or annually and renews automatically.
- Quizlet Plus Unlimited: adds enhanced content creation, custom study paths, progress tracking and smart grading. Billed monthly or annually and renews automatically.
- Quizlet Plus for teachers: content creation and formative assessment tools. Each subscription lasts one year and renews automatically.
- Family Plan: an annual plan for sharing premium access, renews automatically unless cancelled, and has no free trial.
- Group subscriptions: one-year bundles for a class or department that do not renew automatically.
To check your status, open Quizlet Settings. If your plan is set to renew, you will see the renewal date; if it is already cancelled, you will see the expiration date instead.
How To Cancel Quizlet Plus On The Website
Use this route if you paid on quizlet.com. Quizlet’s help center gives these steps:
- Log in to your Quizlet account on a computer or mobile browser.
- Select your profile picture, then Manage subscription (you can also reach it from the Settings page).
- Select Cancel auto-renewal.
- Answer the short cancellation questions.
- Return to Settings and confirm that an expiration date now shows instead of a renewal date.
If Manage subscription is missing, Quizlet says your plan either is not set to renew or was bought through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Cancel Quizlet Plus In The Quizlet App
For website-billed subscriptions, Quizlet also lets you cancel from its iOS and Android apps:
- Open the Quizlet app and select Profile.
- Select Your Settings.
- Select Manage subscription.
- Select Cancel auto-renewal.
- Select Yes, finish canceling.
If you subscribed through Apple or Google, the cancellation has to happen in that store, covered next.
Cancel Quizlet Plus Billed By Apple
Quizlet sends App Store subscribers to Apple’s instructions. On an iPhone or iPad:
- Open the Settings app and tap your name.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Select Quizlet.
- Tap Cancel Subscription (you may need to scroll) and confirm. If there is no Cancel button, or you see an expiration message in red, Apple says the subscription is already cancelled.
- Watch for Apple’s confirmation email, which Quizlet says arrives after a successful cancellation.
You can check the result on the Quizlet website under Settings. Quizlet also stresses that uninstalling the app does not cancel subscription payments.
Cancel Quizlet Plus Billed By Google Play
Quizlet sends Android subscribers to Google’s help center. In the Google Play Store:
- On your Android device, open your Google Play subscriptions page (play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions), or in the Play Store app tap your profile icon and go to Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions.
- Select Quizlet.
- Tap Cancel subscription and follow the prompts.
- Look for Google’s cancellation confirmation email.
Once again, deleting the Quizlet app from your phone does not stop Google Play billing.
How To Cancel A Quizlet Free Trial
Quizlet trials convert into the paid plan you picked when they end. Quizlet’s help center says to cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date to avoid the charge.
- Website trial: log in, open Settings, select Manage subscription, select Cancel auto-renewal and answer the cancellation questions.
- Apple trial: cancel in your Apple ID subscriptions as shown above.
- Google Play trial: cancel in Google Play subscriptions as shown above.
Note that the Family Plan has no free trial, so any Family Plan charge is a real annual purchase.
Renewal Timing And What Happens After You Cancel
The deadline is the same on every platform: at least 24 hours before your renewal date. Cancelling does not end your access early. Your plan runs until it expires, then your account reverts to the free version. According to Quizlet:
- You keep all your sets, folders and classes, and you can still view uploaded images and listen to recorded audio.
- You lose access to upgraded features, and Class Progress data is only restored if you upgrade again.
- Edits remove premium features. If you later edit a set you created while subscribed, premium features are removed from any term or definition you change.
Quizlet Refund Policy
Quizlet does not promise automatic refunds. Its help center says it reviews each request and “may issue a refund depending on the details of the purchase.”
- Paid on the website or Google Play: go to Quizlet’s support page, enter your account email, choose your role under “Who are you?”, select Billing, then Request a refund, and submit the form. If approved, you get a confirmation email, and your bank may take 5 to 10 business days to show it.
- Paid through Apple: Apple handles the refund. Request it through Apple’s refund page.
- Charged after cancelling: Quizlet says you will not be charged if you cancel at least 24 hours before renewal. If you did and were still billed, contact support for a review.
- Wrong plan or duplicate charges: Quizlet says support can move you to the correct plan and check for multiple accounts.
Quizlet does not publish a refund deadline, so request one as soon as you notice an unwanted charge. To find what you paid, website subscribers can open Settings, scroll to Payment and select View next to Payment history, which shows receipts from the last 24 months. App store subscribers get receipts from Apple or Google.
Students often stack several study and productivity subscriptions over a semester. If you are trimming more than Quizlet, see how to cancel ChatGPT Plus or cancel a Notion subscription.
How To Cancel Quizlet By Deleting Your Account
If you searched for how to cancel Quizlet completely, account deletion is the permanent option. Quizlet says deleting your account turns off auto-renewal, but it cannot be recovered afterward, and all sets, folders and classes you created are deleted.
- Log in to Quizlet.
- Select your profile picture, then Settings.
- Select Delete account.
- Enter your password, or authenticate with Google or Facebook.
- Select Delete account again to confirm.
If you pay through Apple or Google, cancel there first so the store stops billing. For parents, deleting a Child Account also deletes that child’s sets, folders and classes.

| Several charges at once |

If You Still Get Charged
Keep your cancellation confirmation and screenshots of the expiration date in Settings. If Quizlet or the app store keeps billing you, dispute the charge with your card issuer and ask about blocking the merchant as a backstop. You can also report it to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or your state attorney general.
The FTC’s “click to cancel” rule was vacated by the Eighth Circuit in July 2025, but the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (ROSCA) still applies, and California and other states have automatic renewal laws. This is general information, not legal advice.
