Here’s how to cancel Netflix
The most popular premium video streaming service in the US is Netflix, with over 70 million paid subscribers. Of course, with new options like Disney Plus, you might find yourself using it less and less. Netflix is also a lot more expensive than it once was. Indeed, the service recently raised prices for two of its three streaming plans.
The basic plan, with one concurrent stream and video set to 480p resolution, renaubs $8.99 a month. The standard plan, with two concurrent streams and 1080p video resolution settings, is now $13.99 a month. If you get the premium plan, which offers four concurrent streams and support for 4K resolution, the price is $17.99 a month.
You may decide that Netflix’s price is just too much. You may also decide you just don’t use it enough. If that’s the case, here’s how to cancel Netflix from your smartphone or your PC via a web browser.

- In both cases, tap or click on on the “Account” section.
- You will be taken to a web page where you will see a slightly gray box called “Cancel Membership.” Tap or click onto that box.

Keep in mind that if do cancel Netflix, you can still watch under your current account until your billing period ends. In the near future, you may decide to return to Netflix. If you return within 10 months of canceling, you can still access your profiles, favorites, and viewing preferences from your previous account.
