How to cancel Medium
Medium's membership cancels from the settings page in a few clicks. Friend-of-Medium and standard memberships follow the same flow.

Step-by-step
- Log in at medium.com and open your profile → Settings.
- Go to the Membership (or Security and payment) section.
- Click Cancel membership and confirm.
- Subscribed via the iOS app? Cancel through Apple's subscription settings.
What happens after you cancel

Worth knowing
- Medium bills annually if you picked the discounted yearly rate — check which one you're on before assuming it's $5.
What the charge looks like
Medium typically bills $5–$20 per month, and its renewal emails come from medium.com. BeforeItBills detects those emails automatically and warns you 7 days before each charge — so the next renewal never sneaks past you.
