How to Cancel Grammarly Premium in 2026
Grammarly Premium costs $12-30/month depending on your plan, but the free version handles basic grammar and spelling just fine. Here's how to cancel — and why the free tier might be all you need.
Cancel Grammarly Premium
- Go to grammarly.com → log in → click your profile icon
- Select "Account" → click "Subscription"
- Click "Cancel Subscription"
- Complete the cancellation survey (required) → confirm
Annual Plan? You're Locked In
If you bought the annual plan ($144/year), Grammarly won't refund the remaining months. You'll keep Premium access until the subscription expires. The annual plan auto-renews, so cancel before your renewal date to avoid another full-year charge.

Grammarly offers a 7-day money-back guarantee on new subscriptions. If you just signed up:
- Email support@grammarly.com within 7 days of purchase
- Include your account email and request a refund
- Refunds process within 5-10 business days
