Or app store subscriptions

Babbel subscriptions are often purchased through app stores or bundled with other services. If you signed up through an app store, you won't see a cancel option in your Babbel account — you'll need to cancel through the original provider instead.

Babbel-specific things to know

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

Your progress is saved indefinitely
Even after cancelling, your completed lessons and progress remain in your account. You can reactivate anytime without losing your learning history.
Annual plans renew automatically
If you have an annual subscription, it will auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the renewal date. Check your renewal date in account settings.
App store billing works differently
App store subscriptions cancel differently than direct Babbel billing. If you signed up through iPhone or Android, you must cancel through your device's app store subscriptions.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

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

1. Check who is billing you

Look at your credit card statement to see if you're billed by Babbel directly, Apple, Google, or another provider. You'll need to cancel through the correct billing source.

2. Access continues until period ends

After cancelling, you can still use Babbel until your current billing period expires. You won't lose access immediately upon cancellation.

3. Deleting the app doesn't cancel

Removing the Babbel app from your phone doesn't cancel your subscription. You'll continue to be charged unless you properly cancel through the billing provider.

Other options

If cost is your main concern, you might be able to downgrade or switch to annual billing instead of cancelling completely.

Switch to a cheaper plan

Babbel offers different subscription lengths with varying monthly costs. Longer commitments typically offer better value per month.

  • 1 month: Higher monthly rate

  • 3 months: Mid-tier pricing

  • 6 months: Better value

  • 12 months: Lowest monthly cost

Switch Your Billing Cycle

Switching to an annual subscription can significantly reduce your monthly cost compared to month-to-month billing.

Save up to 50% with annual billing

Alternative ways to cancel Babbel

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

Apple App Store

iPhone and iPad users who subscribed through the iOS app need to cancel through Apple's subscription management.
