Cancel Paramount Plus on the Web or Mobile App

You can cancel your Paramount Plus subscription through your account settings on any device. The process takes about two minutes and stops your billing when ready—you'll keep access to the service through the end of your current billing period.

On a web browser, sign into your Paramount Plus account, go to your profile menu (usually in the top right corner), select "Account" or "Settings," then look for "Subscription" or "Billing." You'll see your current plan and a "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Subscription" button. Click it, and the system will ask you to confirm. Some accounts show a retention offer—a discount to keep your subscription—but you can decline and proceed with cancellation.

On the Paramount Plus mobile app (iOS or Android), tap your profile icon at the bottom right, select "Account," then "Subscription" or "Billing," and choose "Cancel Subscription." The steps are the same as the web version. If you don't see a cancel option in the app, try canceling through the web browser instead, as some app versions have limited account management features.

Key Takeaways

  • You can cancel through your Paramount Plus account settings on any web browser or the mobile app by navigating to your subscription or billing section.
  • Cancellation takes effect when ready for billing purposes, but you retain access through the end of your current billing cycle.
  • If you subscribed through a third-party platform like Apple, Google Play, or Amazon Prime Video, you must cancel through that platform's app or website, not through Paramount Plus directly.
  • Paramount Plus may display a retention offer with a discounted rate when you attempt to cancel, but you can decline it and proceed with cancellation.
  • After cancellation, your account information and watchlist remain saved for 10 months, so you can resubscribe later without losing your data.

Canceling a Subscription Purchased Through a Third-Party Platform

If you subscribed to Paramount Plus through Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, or another third-party service, you must cancel through that platform, not through Paramount Plus itself. Canceling in your Paramount Plus account settings won't work because the third party handles your billing.

Apple App Store: Open the App Store app, tap your profile icon in the top right, select "Subscriptions," find Paramount Plus, and tap "Cancel Subscription."

Google Play: Open Google Play, tap your profile icon, go to "Payments and subscriptions," select "Subscriptions," choose Paramount Plus, and tap "Cancel subscription."

Amazon Prime Video: Sign into your Amazon account on a web browser, go to "Your Account," select "Prime Video Settings," then "Manage Your Prime Video Membership," and choose "Cancel Your Membership."

Roku: On your Roku device, go to "Subscriptions" in the Roku home menu, find Paramount Plus, and select "Manage" or "Cancel."

What Happens After You Cancel

Once you cancel, your subscription stops renewing on your next billing date. You keep full access to Paramount Plus content until that date arrives—you won't lose service when ready. For example, if your billing date is the 15th and you cancel on the 10th, you can still watch until the 15th.

Your account profile, watchlist, and viewing history remain saved for 10 months after cancellation. If you resubscribe within that window, everything will be exactly as you left it. After 10 months, Paramount Plus deletes your account data.

You will not receive a refund for the current billing period. Paramount Plus does not offer prorated refunds for cancellations mid-cycle. If you were charged for a month you don't want to use, contact Paramount Plus customer support to request an exception, though refunds are not may provide.

Stopping Unwanted Charges After Cancellation

If you cancel but continue to see charges from Paramount Plus on your credit card or bank statement, the cancellation may not have gone through. Log back into your account and verify that your subscription status shows as "Canceled" or "Inactive." If it still shows an active plan, repeat the cancellation steps.

If your account shows canceled but charges continue, contact your bank or credit card company and dispute the charge. Provide them with a screenshot of your canceled subscription status. You can also contact Paramount Plus support directly through the app or website to report the issue—they can confirm the cancellation on their end and may reverse erroneous charges.

For subscriptions purchased through third-party platforms, contact that platform's customer support (Apple, Google, Amazon, or Roku) rather than Paramount Plus. They handle the billing and can investigate why charges are still appearing.

Reactivating Your Subscription Later

You can resubscribe to Paramount Plus at any time through the same method you originally used. If you canceled a direct Paramount Plus subscription, you can restart it by signing back into your account and selecting a plan. If you canceled through a third-party platform, resubscribe through that same platform.

If you resubscribe within 10 months of cancellation, your watchlist and viewing history will be restored. If more than 10 months have passed, you'll start with a fresh account. Paramount Plus does not charge a reactivation fee—you straightforward pay the current subscription price for your chosen plan.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The most common mistake is canceling in the wrong place. If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, or Amazon, canceling in your Paramount Plus account settings won't work. You must cancel through the platform where you originally subscribed. Check your first billing email to see which service charged you.

Another mistake is expecting an when ready refund. Paramount Plus does not refund unused portions of your current billing cycle. If you cancel on the 10th of a month and your billing date is the 15th, you still have access through the 15th, but you won't be refunded for those five days.

Don't assume your subscription is canceled just because you deleted the app or stopped using it. The app must be actively canceled through account settings, or your billing will continue. Deleting the app alone does nothing to stop charges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose access to Paramount Plus when ready after canceling?

No. You keep access through the end of your current billing period. If your next billing date is in two weeks, you can watch for those two weeks before losing access. Your account will show a "Canceled" status, but the service remains active until that date.

Can I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?

Paramount Plus does not offer refunds for unused portions of your billing cycle. If you cancel on the 10th and your billing date is the 15th, you won't be refunded for those five days. Contact support if you believe you were charged in error, but refunds are not standard.

What if I subscribed through my cable or phone provider?

If Paramount Plus came bundled with your cable, phone, or internet plan, you must cancel through your provider's customer service, not through Paramount Plus. Contact your provider directly to remove the service from your account.

Will my watchlist be saved if I cancel and come back later?

Yes, for 10 months. If you resubscribe within 10 months of cancellation, your watchlist, viewing history, and profile settings will be restored exactly as you left them. After 10 months, Paramount Plus deletes your account data.

How do I know if my cancellation actually went through?

Log back into your Paramount Plus account and check your subscription status in the Account or Billing section. It should show "Canceled," "Inactive," or "No Active Subscription." If it still shows an active plan, the cancellation didn't process and you should try again. You can also check your email for a cancellation confirmation message from Paramount Plus.
