How to Cancel Codecademy

Need to cancel your Codecademy subscription? This guide will walk you through the cancellation process step-by-step. Whether you subscribed through Codecademy's website, we'll show you exactly how to cancel.

Note: After canceling, you'll retain access to Codecademy features until the end of your current billing period. Your account and learning progress will remain saved, but you'll be downgraded to Free tier with limited access to courses after your subscription expires.

Step 1: Sign in to Your Codecademy Account

Go to www.codecademy.com and sign in with your Codecademy account credentials.

Step 2: Access Account Settings

Click on your profile icon in the top right corner, then select "Account" or "Settings" from the dropdown menu.

Step 3: Go to Billing

In the Account Settings page, click on "Billing" in the left sidebar, or directly visit www.codecademy.com/account/billing.

Step 4: Find Your Subscription

Locate your "Codecademy" subscription. You'll see your subscription details and next billing date.

Step 5: Cancel Subscription

Click "Cancel subscription" or "Cancel". Codecademy will show you information about when your Pro access will end.

Step 6: Confirm Cancellation

Review the cancellation details carefully. Codecademy may show you benefits you'll lose. If you want to proceed, click "Confirm cancellation" or "Cancel subscription" to finalize. You'll receive a confirmation email.

Troubleshooting

I can't find the Cancel button

• Make sure you're signed in to the correct Codecademy account
• Try accessing the billing page directly: www.codecademy.com/account/billing
• Look for "Billing" in Account Settings, not "Profile" or "Notifications"
• Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again

I subscribed through a third party

If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, you'll need to cancel through that platform's subscription management system:

• Apple: Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > Codecademy
• Google Play: Google Play Store > Menu > Subscriptions > Codecademy

I want to pause instead of cancel

Codecademy doesn't offer a pause option. However, you can cancel and reactivate anytime without losing your account or learning progress.

I'm being charged after cancellation

• Check your email for the cancellation confirmation
• Verify the cancellation date matches the end of your billing period
• Make sure you clicked "Cancel subscription" and confirmed
• Contact Codecademy Support if charges continue after the cancellation date

What happens to my learning progress?

Your account and learning progress will remain saved after cancellation. However, you'll lose access to Pro courses, projects, and career paths.

What happens to my completed courses?

Your completed courses and progress will remain in your account, but you'll only be able to access free tier courses after your subscription expires.

What happens to my projects?

Projects you've created will remain in your account, but you won't be able to create new projects or access Pro project features after your subscription expires.

Additional Information

• Reactivation: You can reactivate Codecademy anytime by visiting www.codecademy.com/pricing or through Account Settings > Billing
• Account: Your account and learning progress remain saved after cancellation
• Free Tier: After cancellation, you'll have limited access to courses and no access to projects or career paths

Conclusion

You've successfully canceled your Codecademy subscription! You'll continue to have access to Pro features until the end of your current billing period. After that, you'll be downgraded to Free tier with limited access to courses.

Your account and learning progress are all saved, so you can reactivate anytime. If you need help, Codecademy Support is available through the Help Center.
