How to cancel Patreon

A quick, up-to-date guide to cancelling Patreon — 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 Patreon bills you after you cancel, you have a refund pack ready. Add to Chrome — Free

Cancel Patreon in 5 steps

  1. Sign in at patreon.com from a web browser (cancel where you joined).
  2. Open 'Settings' → 'Memberships' (or click the creator → 'Edit'/'Manage').
  3. Select 'Cancel membership' for the creator you want to stop supporting.
  4. Note that you keep access until the end of the paid period; cancel before it renews.
  5. Confirm the cancellation.

What happens after you cancel

Each Patreon membership is a separate recurring pledge to a creator — cancel each one individually. You keep access until the end of the current period, then it stops. Patreon bills upfront on join and then monthly; cancel before renewal. No refund for the current period is typical.

Subscribed through Apple, Google, or another provider?

If you joined a Patreon membership through the Apple App Store, cancel in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions instead.

Charged after cancelling Patreon?

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

Frequently asked questions

Will Patreon charge me after I cancel?
It shouldn't. After you cancel, Patreon 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 Patreon.
Does cancelling Patreon 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 Patreon's settings.
How do I know my Patreon cancellation worked?
Look for a cancellation confirmation email from Patreon 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.
