Coursera Plus costs $59/month or $399/year for unlimited access to 7,000+ courses. If you have finished the courses you wanted, here is how to cancel — and the good news about what you keep.
Coursera offers a 14-day money-back guarantee on Coursera Plus. If you subscribed within the last 14 days, request a refund at coursera.org/account-settings or contact support. After 14 days, you can cancel future renewals but will not receive a refund for the current period.
💡 The certificate strategy: If you need specific certificates (Google, IBM, Meta), subscribe for one focused month, complete all the courses you need, then cancel. Do not stay subscribed "just in case" — you can always resubscribe when you have a specific goal.
Coursera Plus cancellation is easy and your certificates are permanent. The best strategy is to subscribe with a plan, complete your target courses within 1-2 months, then cancel. For ongoing learning, Coursera audit mode and free alternatives provide the same knowledge without the $59/month price tag.
