Headway-specific things to know

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

Check your billing source first
Many users subscribe through app stores. If you don't see cancel options in Headway, check your Apple or Google subscriptions instead.
Annual plans may have restrictions
If you chose an annual subscription, check the terms for any early cancellation policies or refund windows.
Your library stays accessible
After cancelling, you can still access previously read summaries and your notes until your billing period 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

Headway subscriptions can be billed directly, through Apple, or through Google. The cancel process depends on your billing source.

2. Access continues until period ends

You'll keep access to all summaries and features until your current billing period expires, even after cancelling.

3. Deleting the app doesn't cancel

Removing Headway from your device won't stop billing. You need to properly cancel through your account or app store settings.

Consider these alternatives

If you're not using Headway enough, you might be able to pause or downgrade instead of cancelling completely.

Switch to a cheaper plan

Headway offers different subscription tiers with varying features and pricing.

  • Monthly plan with basic features

  • Annual plan with discounted rate

Pause your Headway subscription

Some subscription plans allow you to pause billing for a set period. Check your account settings to see if this option is available for your plan type.

Switch Your Billing Cycle

Annual subscriptions typically offer significant savings compared to monthly billing.

Save up to 50% with annual billing
