How to Cancel Udemy Personal Plan
Need to cancel your Udemy Personal Plan subscription? This guide will walk you through the cancellation process step-by-step. Whether you subscribed through Udemy's website, we'll show you exactly how to cancel.
Important: This guide is for canceling the Udemy Personal Plan subscription (monthly unlimited access). This is different from purchasing individual courses. If you purchased courses individually, those remain yours permanently and don't require cancellation.
Note: After canceling, you'll retain access to Personal Plan courses until the end of your current billing period. Courses you purchased individually will remain accessible permanently.
Step 1: Log In to Your Account
Go to Udemy.com and sign in using your account credentials.
Step 2: Access the Subscriptions Page
On the top right corner of the page, click on your profile picture to open the drop-down menu. Select "Subscriptions" from the menu. This will take you to your subscriptions management page.

Step 3: Review Your Active Subscription
On the Subscriptions page, you will see your active subscription(s), next billing date, payment amount, and payment method. Review this information to ensure you're canceling the correct subscription.

Step 4: Cancel the Subscription
Find the subscription you want to cancel and click "Cancel subscription". Udemy will display information about your subscription and when your Personal Plan access will end.
Step 5: Confirm Cancellation
Follow the on-screen instructions to confirm your cancellation. Review any information Udemy presents before confirming. You'll receive a confirmation email once the cancellation is complete.
Step 6: Continue Access Until the Billing Period Ends
After canceling, you will still have access to the subscription content until the end of your current billing period, which is shown on the Subscriptions page. Your Personal Plan access will end on the date displayed.
Troubleshooting
- Make sure you're signed in to the correct Udemy account
- Click your profile picture in the top right corner
- Select "Subscriptions" from the dropdown menu
- On the Subscriptions page, look for your active subscription and the "Cancel subscription" button
- Make sure you're looking at Personal Plan subscription, not individual course purchases
- Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again
If you don't see a Personal Plan subscription, you may have:
- Purchased courses individually (these don't require cancellation)
- Already canceled your subscription
- Subscribed through a different account
- Personal Plan: Monthly subscription providing unlimited access to thousands of courses. Requires cancellation to stop recurring charges.
- Individual Purchases: One-time purchases of specific courses. These are yours permanently and don't require cancellation.
Udemy Personal Plan doesn't offer a pause option. However, you can cancel and reactivate anytime without losing your account.
- Check your email for the cancellation confirmation
- Verify the cancellation date matches the end of your billing period shown on the Subscriptions page
- Make sure you clicked "Cancel subscription" and followed all on-screen instructions to confirm
- Make sure you canceled the Personal Plan subscription, not just individual courses
- Contact Udemy Support if charges continue after the cancellation date
- Personal Plan courses: You'll lose access to these after your subscription expires
- Individually purchased courses: These remain accessible permanently, no cancellation needed
Yes! Courses you purchased individually (not through Personal Plan) will remain accessible permanently. Only Personal Plan subscription access will end.
Additional Information
- Reactivation: You can reactivate Udemy Personal Plan anytime by visiting www.udemy.com/personal-plan or through Account Settings > Subscriptions
- Individual Purchases: Courses purchased individually remain accessible permanently
- Personal Plan Courses: Access to Personal Plan courses ends when subscription expires
- Difference: Personal Plan is a subscription; individual purchases are one-time purchases
- Account: Your account and learning progress remain saved
Conclusion
You've successfully canceled your Udemy Personal Plan subscription! You'll continue to have access to Personal Plan courses until the end of your current billing period. After that, you'll lose access to Personal Plan content.
