Once you cancel your subscription, it will terminate at the end of the billing period and you will not be charged again. If you're on a 7-day trial, the trial will end as soon as you cancel the subscription.

Note: Your paid subscriber benefits will continue until the end of the time period you've paid for. Once your paid subscription ends, you'll become a free subscriber. To completely unsubscribe, turn off notifications for that publication by following these steps.

Can I pause my paid subscription instead?

Yes! If you'd like to pause your subscription, click "Pause Subscription" and select from the drop-down box how many months you'd like charges to be stopped for.

Your subscription to the publication will be paused immediately. We'll display a date when your subscription will resume as well as send you a reminder email three days before your subscription will be unpaused.
