Cancelling Descript depends on how you subscribed and which plan you're on. This guide covers cancellation through the Descript website, app stores, and team billing scenarios.
Most Descript users are billed directly and can cancel from their account dashboard. Team plans may require admin access, and some users signed up through reseller partnerships won't see cancel options in their personal accounts.
Follow these steps to cancel your Descript subscription directly. Team plans may require admin permissions to cancel.
Visit descript.com and sign in with your account credentials. Make sure you're using the account that holds the subscription.
Click on your profile icon in the top right corner, then select Account Settings from the dropdown menu.
In the account settings, look for the Billing or Subscription section in the left sidebar and click on it.
Find the Cancel Subscription button or link. You may be asked to provide feedback about why you're cancelling.
Review the cancellation details and confirm. You should receive an email confirmation, and your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing period.
Descript subscriptions can work differently depending on whether you're on a personal or team plan. These tips cover common situations.
These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.
Some users have Descript through company accounts or educational licenses. Make sure you're cancelling the right subscription and have permission to do so.
After cancelling, you'll keep premium features until your current subscription period expires. Then you'll automatically move to the free plan.
Removing Descript from your computer or phone doesn't stop subscription charges. You need to cancel through your account settings or the app store.
If cost is the main concern, you might be able to downgrade to a cheaper plan instead of cancelling completely.
If you can't cancel through your Descript account, you may need to go through app stores. The right option depends on how you're being billed.
iOS users who subscribed through the App Store must cancel through iPhone Settings or iTunes.
