Ring Protect plans often auto-renew annually, and cancellation must be done before the renewal date to avoid charges for the next full year. If you subscribed through an app store, you won't see cancel options in your Ring account.

Ring Protect-specific things to know

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

Annual plans charge differently
Ring Protect annual plans typically charge the full year upfront. Cancel before your renewal date to avoid being charged for another full year.
Video recordings stop immediately
Once cancelled, your Ring devices will no longer save video recordings to the cloud, though live viewing continues to work normally.
Professional monitoring ends too
Ring Protect Plus includes professional monitoring services. When you cancel, this monitoring stops at the end of your billing period.

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

If you subscribed through Apple or Google Play, you won't see a cancel option in the Ring app. You'll need to cancel through your app store subscriptions instead.

2. Service continues until period ends

After cancelling, your Ring Protect features remain active until your current billing period expires. You won't lose access immediately.

3. Device functionality changes

Without Ring Protect, your devices will still work for live viewing and motion alerts, but won't save video recordings to the cloud.

Other options to consider

If cost is your main concern, you might be able to downgrade to a cheaper plan instead of cancelling completely.

Downgrade your Ring Protect plan

Ring offers multiple plan tiers with different features and pricing. You might find a cheaper option that still meets your needs.

  • Ring Protect Basic - Single device coverage

  • Ring Protect Plus - All devices plus professional monitoring

  • Ring Protect Pro - Enhanced monitoring and features

Switch Your Billing Cycle

Ring Protect offers both monthly and annual billing options, with annual plans typically offering savings.

Save up to 10% by switching to annual billing

Alternative ways to cancel Ring Protect

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

Apple App Store

If you subscribed through the App Store, you'll need to cancel through your Apple ID subscriptions.
