How to Cancel Audible
Need to cancel your Audible membership? This guide will walk you through the cancellation process step-by-step. Whether you subscribed directly through Audible or through a third-party platform, we'll show you exactly how to cancel.
Note: After canceling, you'll retain access to your membership until the end of your current billing period. You can continue using your credits and listening to purchased audiobooks until then. All purchased audiobooks are yours to keep forever, even after cancellation.
Step 1: Sign in to Your Account
Go to www.audible.com and sign in with your Amazon/Audible account credentials.
Step 2: Access Account Settings
Click on your name or account icon in the top right corner, then select "Account Details" or "Account" from the dropdown menu. Alternatively, you can directly visit www.audible.com/account.
Step 3: Find Membership Section
Scroll down to the "Membership" or "Subscription" section. You'll see your current membership plan details, billing information, and credit balance.
Step 4: Cancel Membership
Click the "Cancel membership" or "Cancel my membership" button. Audible will show you information about when your membership will end and remind you about your purchased audiobooks.
Step 5: Confirm Cancellation
Review the information carefully. Audible may offer incentives to stay. If you want to proceed, click "Cancel membership" or "Yes, cancel my membership" to finalize. You'll receive a confirmation email shortly after.
Troubleshooting
- Make sure you're signed in to the correct Audible account
- Try accessing the account page directly: www.audible.com/account
- If you have an Amazon Prime membership, Audible may be included - check your Amazon account
- Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again
If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, or another third party, you'll need to cancel through that platform's subscription management system, not through Audible's website.
If you have unused credits, you'll lose them when you cancel. Consider using them to purchase audiobooks before canceling, as purchased audiobooks are yours to keep forever.
Audible doesn't offer a pause option. However, you can cancel and reactivate anytime. All purchased audiobooks will remain in your library.
- Check your email for the cancellation confirmation
- Verify the cancellation date matches the end of your billing period
- Contact Audible support if charges continue after the cancellation date
