How to cancel Forbes

A quick, up-to-date guide to cancelling Forbes — and keeping proof that you did, in case you're charged anyway.

Before you click cancel: the moment you cancel is exactly when proof matters. CancelProof records your cancellation — the pages, the clicks, the confirmation — so if Forbes bills you after you cancel, you have a refund pack ready. Add to Chrome — Free

Cancel Forbes in 5 steps

  1. Sign in at forbes.com from a web browser.
  2. Open your account → 'Membership' / 'Manage Subscription'.
  3. Select 'Cancel' / turn off auto-renew.
  4. Cancel before your renewal date — intro rates convert to full price automatically.
  5. Get a cancellation confirmation and keep it.

What happens after you cancel

You keep Forbes membership access until the end of the current billing period, then it won't renew. Intro rates convert to full price, so cancel before that date. No refund for the current period is typical.

Subscribed through Apple, Google, or another provider?

If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, cancel in that store's Subscriptions section instead of on forbes.com.

Charged after cancelling Forbes?

It happens more than it should. If a charge lands after you cancelled, here's how to get your money back from Forbes — and why documented proof is what makes the difference.

Frequently asked questions

Will Forbes charge me after I cancel?
It shouldn't. After you cancel, Forbes keeps your access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for, then stops billing. If a charge still appears, see our guide on being charged after cancelling Forbes.
Does cancelling Forbes delete my account?
No. Cancelling stops future billing but usually keeps your account so you can return later. Deleting your account is a separate action in Forbes's settings.
How do I know my Forbes cancellation worked?
Look for a cancellation confirmation email from Forbes and check that your account shows the plan ending. Keeping that confirmation — an email or a screenshot — is your proof if there's ever a dispute.

Cancelling something? Keep the proof.

CancelProof records your cancellation automatically — so if you're charged anyway, you're covered.
