How to Cancel Acorns Online

These steps work for cancelling your Acorns subscription. Remember, this only stops new investments and fees - your existing investments stay unless you withdraw them.

01

Open the Acorns app

Launch the Acorns app on your phone and log in to your account. Make sure you're using the latest version of the app for the most current interface.

02

Go to Account settings

Tap your profile icon in the bottom right corner, then select Settings from the menu options.

03

Select Subscription

In Settings, look for Subscription or Plan options. This will show your current Acorns plan and billing details.

04

Choose Cancel Subscription

Tap Cancel Subscription and follow the prompts. Acorns may ask why you're cancelling and offer alternatives before confirming.

05

Confirm cancellation

Complete the cancellation process and check for a confirmation email. Your subscription will end at your next billing date, but investments remain in your account.

Or skip the steps entirely

Acorns-specific things to know

Acorns handles subscriptions and investments separately. These tips cover important details about both parts of your account.

Your investments stay after cancelling
Cancelling stops new round-ups and monthly fees, but your portfolio remains invested. You'll need to withdraw or transfer funds separately if you want to close everything.
Round-ups stop immediately
Once cancelled, Acorns stops collecting spare change from your linked cards. Any pending round-ups in progress may still process for a few days.
Subscription vs account closure
Cancelling your subscription is different from closing your account entirely. You can reactivate later without losing your investment history.

Before cancelling Acorns

Check these points to avoid issues and make sure you handle your investments properly.

1. Decide what to do with investments

Your portfolio stays invested after cancelling. Decide if you want to withdraw funds, transfer to another broker, or leave them invested without new contributions.

2. Check for pending round-ups

Recent round-ups may still be processing when you cancel. Check your pending transactions to see what might still go through.

3. Note your next billing date

Your subscription remains active until the next billing cycle. Cancelling today doesn't immediately stop this month's fee if it hasn't processed yet.

Other options to consider

If monthly fees are your main concern, these alternatives might work better than cancelling completely.

Switch to a lower-cost plan

Acorns offers different subscription tiers with varying fees and features. A basic plan might meet your needs at a lower cost.

  • Acorns Lite: $3/month - Basic investing and round-ups

  • Acorns Personal: $5/month - Includes IRA retirement account

  • Acorns Family: $12/month - Kids accounts and family features

Pause your Acorns round-ups

You can temporarily stop round-ups without cancelling your subscription. This keeps your account active while reducing activity and fees during low-usage periods.

Share Your Plan

Acorns Family lets multiple family members use the service under one subscription, which can be more cost-effective than individual accounts.

Alternative ways to cancel Acorns

If you can't cancel through the app, these methods can help you end your Acorns subscription.

Apple App Store

iPhone users who subscribed through the App Store need to cancel via their iPhone Settings, not the Acorns app.
