Skillshare-specific things to know

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

Your projects remain saved
Even after cancelling, your class projects and portfolio remain accessible in your account. You can still view and edit them.
Free classes stay available
You'll lose access to premium classes but can still take free Skillshare classes with ads after cancelling your subscription.
Annual plans don't offer refunds
If you paid annually, Skillshare typically doesn't provide refunds for unused time. You keep access until the year ends.
Downloaded classes expire
Any classes you downloaded for offline viewing will no longer be accessible once your premium membership expires.

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 signed up through the App Store, Google Play, or a third party, you won't see a cancel option in your Skillshare account. You'll need to cancel through them instead.

2. Access continues until period ends

You'll keep full premium access until your current billing cycle ends, even after cancelling. The subscription doesn't end immediately.

3. Deleting the app doesn't cancel

Removing the Skillshare app from your phone doesn't cancel your subscription. You'll continue to be charged unless you follow the cancellation steps.

Consider these alternatives

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

Switch to free Skillshare

Instead of cancelling, you can switch to Skillshare's free tier to keep taking some classes with ads.

Free Skillshare includes:

  • Limited free classes with ads

  • Access to your saved projects

  • Community features

Switch Your Billing Cycle

Switch from monthly to annual billing

Save about 40% with annual billing instead of monthly payments

Alternative ways to cancel Skillshare

If you can't cancel through your Skillshare 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 app must cancel through Apple's subscription settings.
