How to cancel Substack
Substack subscriptions are per-publication — each writer you support is a separate recurring charge, and each cancels individually from your reader settings.
Quick answer
substack.com/settings — log in and follow the steps below. Cancelling takes about five minutes.
Step-by-step
- Log in at substack.com and open Settings from your profile menu.
- Under Subscriptions, click the publication you're paying for.
- Choose Cancel subscription (or turn off auto-renew).
- Repeat for each paid publication — they don't share billing.
What happens after you cancel
Paid posts stay readable until the end of the billed period, then you drop to that publication's free tier.
Worth knowing
- Annual subscriptions to newsletters are easy to forget — the engine sees Substack charges ranging from $5 to $100, often once a year per publication.
What the charge looks like
Substack typically bills $5–$100 per month, and its renewal emails come from substack.com. BeforeItBills detects those emails automatically and warns you 7 days before each charge — so the next renewal never sneaks past you.
