How to Cancel All Your Subscriptions at Once

Bad news first: there's no magic button that cancels everything in one click. Each company requires you to cancel through their own process — and many of them make it deliberately difficult.

Good news: you can find every subscription in about 2 minutes and cancel most of them within 15 minutes. Here are 5 methods, ranked by speed.

Method 1: Scan your bank statement (fastest)

Your bank statement contains every recurring charge. Upload it to Just Cancel and you'll get a complete list of subscriptions with direct cancel links for 440+ services. Takes about 30 seconds.

1. Download your bank statement (PDF or CSV)
2. Upload it to justcancel.io
3. Review the list of recurring charges found
4. Click the cancel link for each one you want to drop

Why this works best: It catches everything — not just app store subscriptions, but also gym memberships, insurance add-ons, software renewals, and those free trials that quietly started charging.

Method 2: Check your phone's subscription settings

Both iPhone and Android have built-in subscription management that lets you cancel app store subscriptions.

iPhone (App Store subscriptions)

1. Open Settings → Your Name → Subscriptions
2. You'll see every active and expired subscription through Apple
3. Tap any subscription → Cancel

Android (Google Play subscriptions)

1. Open Google Play → Profile → Payments & Subscriptions → Subscriptions
2. Tap any subscription → Cancel

Limitation: This only shows subscriptions billed through Apple or Google. Direct website subscriptions (gym, streaming, software) won't appear here.

Method 3: Review your credit card statements

Go through your last 2-3 months of credit card statements and look for recurring charges. Most banks let you filter by “recurring” or “subscription” charges.

Pro tip: Check ALL your cards and bank accounts. The average person has 12 subscriptions spread across multiple payment methods.

Method 4: The nuclear option — get a new card number

If you want to force-cancel everything on a particular card, request a new card number from your bank. Every subscription trying to charge the old number will fail.

⚠️ Warning: This is a blunt tool. It will also break charges you want to keep (utilities, insurance, etc.). And some merchants can automatically update your card through Visa Account Updater or Mastercard ABU.

A better version of this: use virtual cards for each subscription going forward. That way you can kill individual subscriptions without affecting anything else.

Method 5: Check your email

Search your email for these terms to find subscription confirmations:

• “subscription confirmation”
• “recurring payment”
• “your plan”
• “auto-renewal”
• “billing receipt”
• “payment processed”

This won't find everything (some companies don't send receipts), but it's a good supplement to the bank statement method.

After you cancel: prevent subscription creep

• Use virtual cards for any new subscription — instant kill switch when you want out
• Set calendar reminders before free trials expire
• Do a quarterly subscription audit — spend 15 minutes every 3 months reviewing charges
• Try streaming rotation — subscribe to one service at a time instead of all of them

How much will you save?

The average person who does a full subscription audit saves $200-400 per year. Some people find they're spending $540+/month on subscriptions they barely use.
