How to cancel Public

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

Cancel Public in 5 steps

  1. Open the Public app or public.com and sign in.
  2. Go to 'Settings' → 'Public Premium' / 'Subscription'.
  3. Select 'Cancel Premium' / turn off the subscription.
  4. Your brokerage account stays open; only Premium is cancelled.
  5. Confirm the cancellation and keep it.

What happens after you cancel

Public Premium is a monthly subscription for advanced features. Cancelling stops the fee at the end of the current billing month; your brokerage account remains open. Cancel before the next monthly fee to avoid it.

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.

Charged after cancelling Public?

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

Frequently asked questions

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