How to cancel Pocket

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

Cancel Pocket in 5 steps

  1. Sign in at getpocket.com from a web browser (cancel where you subscribed).
  2. Open 'Account Options' / 'Premium' → 'Manage subscription'.
  3. Select 'Cancel subscription' and follow the prompts.
  4. Cancel before your renewal date — monthly and annual plans auto-renew.
  5. Confirm the cancellation.

What happens after you cancel

You keep your Pocket plan until the end of the current billing period, then it stops (or reverts to any free tier). Annual plans are prepaid, so cancelling turns off the next renewal — cancel before your renewal date to avoid the next charge.

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 getpocket.com.

Charged after cancelling Pocket?

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

Frequently asked questions

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