How to cancel Audible: step-by-step
The cancel button only exists where the charge comes from. Check your card statement: APPLE.COM/BILL → use Apple, GOOGLE * → use Google Play, otherwise you were billed directly by Audible.

Cancel directly on Audible (web / account)
- Go to audible.com on a desktop browser and sign in with your Amazon account.
- Hover your name → Account Details.
- Click Cancel membership (you may first be offered to pause for up to 3 months — decline to fully cancel).
- Choose a reason, then confirm cancellation.
- You keep any audiobooks you already own; unused credits may be lost.
⚠️ Watch out for
- Cancelling can forfeit unused credits — spend them first.
- Audible often offers 3 free months or a discount to stay; that’s retention, not a requirement.
- You cannot cancel inside the iOS/Android app — use a browser.
How to cancel Audible — FAQ
Do I keep my audiobooks after cancelling Audible?
Yes — titles you purchased with credits or money stay in your library forever. Only unused credits are at risk.
How do I cancel Audible on iPhone or Android?
If you signed up directly, you can cancel Audible from any phone or computer browser in your account settings. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, cancel in that store's Subscriptions screen instead — deleting the Audible app does not stop the billing.
How do I unsubscribe from Audible without being charged again?
Cancel before your next renewal date. Audible keeps your access until the end of the period you've already paid for, and once cancellation is confirmed you won't be billed again. Turning off auto-renewal has the same effect.
Can I cancel Audible without logging in or without account access?
If you can't log in, recover your account first — or cancel where you're billed. The Apple App Store, Google Play or PayPal can stop the payment even without Audible account access. As a last resort, ask your bank to block the recurring charge.
How do I get a refund or stop being charged by Audible?
Turn off auto-renewal or cancel first so no new charges occur. For money already taken, request a refund from Audible (or from Apple/Google if you were billed there). If they refuse and you cancelled in time, dispute the charge with your bank.
Still being charged?
If Audible won’t let you cancel, send a certified cancellation letter (it’s legally binding), then dispute the charge with your bank and file an FTC complaint.
