Avast-specific things to know

Avast subscriptions can work differently depending on your plan or how you signed up. These tips cover common edge cases.

Annual renewals happen automatically
Most Avast plans auto-renew annually at full price, which is often much higher than your introductory rate. Cancel before renewal to avoid the increase.
Protection continues until period ends
Your antivirus protection stays active until your subscription expires, so you don't lose coverage immediately after cancelling.
Free version available after cancellation
Avast offers a free antivirus version with basic protection. Your software will automatically switch to this after your paid subscription ends.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.

1. Check who's billing you

Look at your credit card statement or email receipts. If you see charges from Apple, Google, or a reseller (not Avast directly), you'll need to cancel through them instead.

2. Note your renewal date

Avast typically bills annually, even for monthly plans. Check when your next charge is due and cancel at least 24 hours before to avoid being charged.

3. Uninstalling doesn't cancel billing

Deleting the Avast software from your device doesn't stop subscription charges. You must cancel through your account or billing provider to stop payments.

Other options

If cost is your main concern, you might be able to downgrade or find a discount instead of cancelling completely.

Downgrade your Avast plan

Avast offers multiple tiers with different features. You might find a cheaper plan that still meets your needs.

  • Avast Free Antivirus - Basic protection

  • Avast Premium Security - Mid-tier features

  • Avast Ultimate - Full suite with VPN

Switch Your Billing Cycle

Avast often offers discounts for longer billing periods. Annual plans typically cost less per month than monthly billing.

Save up to 30% with annual billing

Share Your Plan

Avast Ultimate and Premium plans cover multiple devices. If you're only using one device, you could share with family members to split the cost.

Negotiate a Deal

Avast sometimes offers retention discounts when you try to cancel. You may see a special offer during the cancellation process.

Alternative ways to cancel Avast

If you can't cancel through your Avast account, you may need to go through app stores or resellers. The right option depends on how you're being billed.

iPhone and iPad users who subscribed through the App Store need to cancel through their Apple account settings.
